Those new models look great in silver... Cannot wait to get my grubby mits on them.

++Been powering through my backlog in anticipation - Not planning on changing the scheme - Cue Terminator theme++

[balordazul]

Oh dayum. Daaaaaaayum. I do like the change to the bronze scheme, but this soothes my inner 3rd edition fan

You know I have the "ancient" theme from the 3rd ed book on my necrons.  Adding more advanced painting techniques to the necrons they look really sharp.  I really like that GW shifted away from the overly bright style of shiny metal or turquoise.

Anyone know the scale difference if any of the Necron Warriors models? I was assuming they are little taller?

indeed, knowing what the scale creep is going to look like is important for anybody who already has Necrons(or wants to stalk up on old ones for visual variety in a larger army)

Oh I'll be hanging on to my 3 monoliths, I'll just be adding one more with the new weapons as like a leader monolith.

Be sure to put a red stripe on it.

Like a Lieutenant Monolith perhaps … stripes will be needed

Rise of the Skorpekh Destroyer:

 

First up, with a name like Skorpekh Destroyer, it clearly hails from the Destroyer Cult, meaning it has… let’s just say ‘anger management issues.’* However, unlike the more familiar Destroyers and Heavy Destroyers, which favour annihilating their prey from afar, Skorpekh Destroyers like to reap them up close and personal with murderous sweeps of their enormous blades.

In fact, they like reaping so much that their fearsome weapons are even called hyperphase reap-blades! These weapons are not to be taken lightly, either – check out their horrifically powerful profile.

No wonder we saw one cutting down a Space Marine in the trailer – one hit from this weapon could even chop a mighty warrior of the Adeptus Custodes in half! The Battle Sister being hunted by the first Skorpekh clearly passed the 6+ invulnerable for her Shield of Faith!

What’s more, as one would expect from a Destroyer, the Skorpekh is tough, yet despite not drifting into battle like its kin, it’s still wickedly fast as it skitters forwards. A unit of them promises to be a very intimidating prospect indeed…

Wait, what’s that? Some different weapons?! Yep! However, you’ll have to wait a bit longer to find out more about these nasty-looking options. Until then, let us know what you think of this menacing new addition to the Necron line-up on our Warhammer 40,000 Facebook group.

[Noserenda]

Savage! Thats a terrifying weapon alright, i didnt notice they were bonded to their arms though, which should work fine with the choppy variant but a two handed blade like that usaully means a lot of hand movement and grip shifting.

[BolterZorro]

So, first official identification  and it seems that there is (maybe) a unit of 3 like the image above in the necron half of the starter box (according to the greenish pics of the leaks).

[Subtleknife]

Well the twitch episode they did was disappointing. Literally 29 mins of filler with 1 decent question answered. They did hint that there are more destroyers on the way

Flat damage 3, they look pretty tasty. 

[Black Blow Fly]

Oh well assault Centurions had their day.

[AenarIT]

Oh well assault Centurions had their day.

Centurions have 4 wounds though, it's more an anti-Gravis weapon.
Really beautiful models though, I hope their max unit size is at least 6 or 9.

[Nemesor Tyriks]

These look even better close up.  Hopefully they are actually fast enough to get into assault, and "wickedly fast" doesn't mean like 8" or something.

[01RTB01]

They're tasty, just hoping that they're pointed appropriately...

(Love the models!)

[Chronos1985]

I'm very happy for you Necron players, these models will be beautiful to play against. I'm very impressed all around so far for your release.

[Arkangilos]

So I love the three legs, but out of purely scientific curiosity, does a third leg add anything beyond stability for shooting, which they don’t do?

I guess it makes them harder to knock over?

[mithrilforge]

I'm going to guess the stats given are for the 2 handed version of the Reap Blade... wonder what the 2 bladed ones are going to be like... less AP but more attacks perhaps?...

They do look stunning and i'm sure I will be getting a few...

++EDIT++ and for the record...My Gaming Buddie's Sisters are not going to get away from my Skorpekh destroyers as easily as the one in the video does...

I just hope that the kit will have enough components to kit out the whole unit uniformally.

Woah Woah Woah there....   This is GW... you may need several boxes to make a full unit with the same loadout …(yes i'm looking at Drukhari Scourges and several other boxes... )

 

But i'll still cross my fingers that GW has thought to include ALL weapon variants...

In the multipart kit maybe. In the ETB starter box I think what you see is what you get. The ETB version is likely all we will get for awhile until they break the kits out.

[BolterZorro]

According to the green picture, it seems that we exactly got in the starter box a set like in the picture below. If you want a unit of 3 two handed weapon guys, you have to buy 3 starters...

 

[Reinhard]

They'd all have the same pose too. So you'd likely be better to wait for the indiviual kit that's bound to come.
