New models (thanks Lord Marshall)!

 

 

Not sure if this has been posted? Or where it should be posted?

 

 

Swear to god if this is real and the name is connected to them bringing back Necron Pariahs, I will buy them no matter the price

Might be the name of the next book, given that it's coming from "C&C Offset Printing Co. LTD"

[Scribe]

I still hold that the old Necron stuff, the last page of the 3rd (I think it was 3rd?) edition book, and the stuff between AdMech/Necron at the time, was leagues better than what we have now.

 

I too, hope we can get Pariahs again.

+++ Housekeeping Note +++

I've split this off into its own thread, since it's likely separate from the War of the Spider.

[Chapter Master Valrak]

Who has time to do this? xD

[Nemesor Tyriks]

I would gladly take Pariahs back but I am hesitant to jump to conclusions from a title.

War of the Spider was discovered the same way, wasn't it? So unless it's a fake, it's got a good chance for the name to be true, if maybe missing a word or letter. Could be "The Pariah", or "Pariahs", or some other variation.

 

*Adjusts tinfoil hat*

 

You know who else is called the Pariah? Ephrael Stern's Harlequin pal. And Ephrael herself also fits the description of a pariah as she's an outcast. And both their factions are also due to be featured in a Psychic Awakening book, just like the Necrons. Triple pariah party.

 

Yes I'm Pepe Silvia-ing this.

Looking forward to the people who kept saying Necron Pariahs were dumb and they're never coming back to suddenly rejoice and say they always loved 'em.

[Captain Idaho]

Loved the old Necrons fluff. Any move back to it to repair the damage done is good for me.

New models are needed - Pariahs, Warriors and Destroyers and I'll buy an army straight away!

[Scribe]

I mean it would make sense. Pariah's are the necron response to Psyker activity, or used to be.

 

God I miss that fluff...

[Lord Marshal]

My guess is Pariahs for Necrons (duh), Primaris Watch-Master and, uh, well Harlequins might not get completely slaughtered to a man in the fluff bits?

[Scribe]

I would really like a kit that puts some more variation it Harlequins, the poses (especially the flying kick one) are just too locked in.

[Marshal Loss]

Imo it's really obvious what GW should do: give fans the ability to play Necrons as oldcrons or newcrons. Can easily be in the same book. Oldcrons have more limited options with some fluffy flavour added, maybe even just as a dynasty that empowers your C'tan. Sort of like how Maynarkh were a deliberate homage to 3rd ed. I'd leap on that, wallet in hand.

 

I still hold that the old Necron stuff, the last page of the 3rd (I think it was 3rd?) edition book, and the stuff between AdMech/Necron at the time, was leagues better than what we have now.

3rd ed book was legit scary in places - so incredibly memorable.

[Black Blow Fly]

Pariahs are Primaris Cronz.

[NTaW]

I would imagine that if this book title is correct then it bodes well for the return of the Necron Pariah, whether as a character or unit.

Curious if we'll see the title of this book announced/confirmed this weekend with the planned WC reveals.

[Interrogator-Chaplain Ezra]

Or we just get a few new units for the Sister of Silence, and that's it.

[Scribe]

Pariahs are Primaris Cronz.

 

Unlikely. There is no need for it as their range is not old enough, nor purchased in numbers high enough, to need a full reboot to fill GW's spreadsheets.

 

More likely: Its a unit type that is relevant to the meta arc, and a unit type that once existed. Hits the relevancy check mark and the nostalgia check mark.

Agreed on both counts, good sir.

Wasn't Stern mentioned/involved in some sort of way with the eldar PsyAw?
 

That might not be so unlikely...

Edited by Fenriwolf, 30 March 2020 - 08:36 PM.

[redmapa]

Yeah Stern was mentioned in the first book and she warned Yvraine of some unknown evil that was approaching, so she's active again and she's at least getting a new book sometime this year so this idea of her being in a more active role in Psychic Awakening might not be so far fetched though I would think DW will have a role against the Necrons since there are no other xenos left to pair them with.

 

War of the Spider has a bunch of factions thrown in, maybe Pariah will be the same with Stern acting similar to Fabius in terms of rules, DW vs Necrons vs Harlequins with Stern thrown in, I find it likely.

Absolutely true.  Great book, whoever wrote it was really talented (lexicanum says it was a team effort.)  The only other 3rd edition book I had was Demonhunters and the fluff in there was pretty fantastic as well. 

 

Once Engine War is done, there is Talons of the Emperor and then can't be that many factions left to be included... Necrons, Harlies, deathwatch... is that it?  

Anyway, I'm really enjoying the Psychic Awakening series, more than I thought I would.  

[DeadFingers]

 Necrons, Harlies, deathwatch... is that it?  

And Sisters of Battle, confirmed by GW's Facebook. Unless there are more surprises like Bile and Assassins, for example the Inquisition, which nobody expects, then those four are it.

Completely forgot about Sisters!

You know who's a pariah?



Cypher. And. The. Lion.



They would never release a 40k primarch before the 30k one but now...?


Dun dun dunnnn.

Magnus would beg to differ.
