So at a min.

 

King

Character Model

Character Model with Hunch Back dudes

New Warriors

Heavy Melee Unit

Heavy Melee/Shooty Unit (possible Destroyer Lord choice?)

Tall Walker

 

Do you mean in the leaked probably-box set photo? If so there's no king in there. At least not a Silent one.

 

 

 

No, I understand that, but its coming that we know of.

 

I'm just trying to frame what is new in my mind. The real issue is Flayers, but I'm also going to be a bit tilted if we dont get floating destroyers.

New scarabs I think also. Near the dude shooting a volkite. 

Spoiler

Those can't be the new scarabs, they're not moving like crabs

 

The top right of the leaked blurry pic is the Silent King.

[streetsamurai]

I have no idea where they are supposed to be

Edit: Just saw them. But you can see them more clearly on the photo of the necron half that was leaked a few pages ago

Got ya.

 

So at a min we're looking at:

 

New Warriors.

New Scarabs.

3 legged character.

Character with 2 chums.

Character without 2 chums.

Possible character who looks like a larger Warrior/Immortal.

4 legged walker from the starter box.

Silent King.

A C'tan, or possibly some giant metal angel like construct. But probably a C'tan.

New Destroyers (I'll put money on being right about this).

New Monolith.

A second 4 legged walker.

 

I also suspect we can see a terrain piece in the grainy photo, but that's hard to confirm.

Question; are Scarabs know to fly in the fluff? only because in the trailer the marines are swarmed by scarabs that both run on the ground and fly. Could be a hint that there is a variant of scarab that can fly?

They're described as blotting out the sun in some sources, and hordes of them flow around Necron ships in space, so it was already established that they can fly/float around

They've always flown, they just fly low to the ground.  They even have the FLY keyword.

My guess is that Destroyers will receive a full refresh. New multi-part box (3 models) with parts to do a Destroyer Lord, a Heavy Destroyer and new weapons to incentivize it (tesla maybe).
Flayed Ones in a multi-part plastic box (either 5 or 10 per box) with new weapon options as well.

Those two in addition to the kits mentioned above that we can see in the grainy pic.

Thanks for clarifying, I have next to no knowledge on Necrons. Just trying to look out for the hidden easter eggs/hints to what may be released 

[PeteySödes]

I’m digging these quite a bit actually. Much more ominous, dark feeling, and some truly bizarre aesthetics that to me really free up the possibility for conversion.

They may have me on this range.

[Hathor42]

The really tall looks like a new spyder. It's got the spyder like carapace at the very top. Course the other version has a doomsday gun lol

From the new site

(Me, showing this to 12 year old son who sadly has no interest in Warhammer or 40k): "Son, repeat after me: 'Father... you do not need... to collect Necrons'."
Son: "Father, you do not need to collect... what are they called again?"
Me: "Necrons."
Son: "Necrons - father, you do not need to collect Necrons."
Me: "That's right. Now say it again like you are so serious, you're trying to save my life."
Son (putting on deep growl that would make a trailer voice over guy jealous): "Father! You do not need to collect... Necrons!!!"
Me: "Thank you, son."
Son: "...that does look pretty cool though..!"
Me: "...really?!!?"

[Dumah]

I'm really digging the scissor-hand aesthetics. Very creepy cool!

[Ahzek451]

The bigger chin and color scheme makes me think that at least one of the designers was a judge dread fan.

[Dam13n]

Let's keep the discussion 40k related please. Non-40k tangent removed.

[Nemesor Tyriks]

 

Son: "...that does look pretty cool though..!"
Me: "...really?!!?"

 

Your son's opinion is correct.

[caladancid]

I really like the new Warriors, close to perfect for a refresh in my opinion.  Holding hope for Pariahs and Flayed Ones, the rest would just be icing.

[Marshal Loss]

Has this been posted?

 

[Nemesor Tyriks]

Not anywhere I've seen.  The Skorpekh raises questions - are these a new kind of Destroyer or a replacement for them?  As in, will "standard" destroyers still fly?  

[Hellex_The_Thanatar]

I'm confused why people think the three legged guys are destroyers.

Don't we see a massive new destroyer on the leaked army overview photo in the bottom left?

He looks MASSIVE. Has like a quad or Oct barreled guasss weapon. On a base that looks oginar dune crawler sized.

Hammerstein!

[DeadFingers]

Ah, so they are Destroyers, but a new melee variant. I guess the "Destroyers with legs" thing was indeed true, in the end.

 

I wonder if the "Skorpekh" thing means regular shooty Destroyers will get a fancy new two-part name too?

Because the render literally names them Destroyers

So weird I wonder why they would keep the floating style destroyer and not just name these three legged boys something else.

Also are these the ONLy three legged necrons? Everyone else has 2 4 or a ton. Lol.
