spacepup Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Anyone heard anything about when they will be releasing the new codex for necrons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NTaW Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 I would imagine Necrons will be in the first 10 books but there's nothing in the rumour mill just yet and 4/10 titles have been claimed so far. Really stoked to see the Dynasty rules though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imotekh Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 A few days ago, when Warhammer Community was talking about Chapter Approved 2017 they had said: "Since Warhammer 40,000: Dark Imperium was launched, we have released several codexes, but there are still plenty of Factions – Orks, Drukhari, Necrons etc. – that don’t yet have a codex of their own. Chapter Approved gives these players a sneak peek of what many of these factions can expect when their codex is released (we are hard on work to get that done as quickly as we can) " "Chapter Approved will hit the shelves in time for Christmas this year." If CA2017 is out at the end of the year, and it is giving the above mentioned factions (Orks, Drukhari, Necrons, etc) a peek at what's coming for them, then it seems the Necron codex may not be here until sometime next year.

Sawtooth Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 I think Imotehk has probably got the right of it. GW has also said that the initial 8th edition releases would focus on Imperium vs. Chaos, so I'd be surprised if any Xenos Codex drops before most of the Imperium/Chaos books.

Bonzi Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Expect those first ten to be almost entirely Imperium & Chaos. BA, DA, SW, Mechanicum, Astra Militarum, Daemons, and T Sons are all most likely. 2018 will be the year of the xenos. spacepup 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NTaW Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 (edited) So we now know that Necrons won't be getting a book this year, but there is Chapter Approved so we can at least look forward to recost units for Matched play and some Faction rules, plus maybe even some Warlord Traits or Relics (those last two are speculation). I'm hoping for less expensive Heavy Destroyers and a faction rule that lets us fall back and shoot, anyone have any other things they'd hope to see change or added? Oooh, it would be grand if the Doom Scythe didn't get -1 to hit with its death ray but that's more a FAQ/errata thing I think.
