Why would the Space Marines find turning on those they fought alongside, who turn out to be the race of sentient evil robots who want to wipe all organic life from the galaxy, distasteful? They're fucking necrons.
No wonder that Matt Warden is hated person amongst everyone. Or atleast Warhammer lore side.
so apparantly the new necrons are actually rather nice guys who have a hierarchy and emotions and can laugh and shit what i want to know is what diseased fuckwit looked at Soulstorm and said "YES, YES, THIS GOT NECRONS PERFECTLY! LET'S DO THAT!"
Reading about the new Necrons. I don't think I like the sound of a lot of it. Some of it's okay, but not most of it.
[QUOTE=Eonart;32121805]I bet Matt Ward is writing a book. Reactions are gonna be fucking hilarious and scary.[/QUOTE] He should make a movie. More GK, more women dying, more quirky Necron sidekicks.
Some of the more elite Necrons decided to stop being such obscure hipsters and reveal their names and their day jobs. They didn't talk before because they were trying to act cool, but now they want to be best friends with the Blood Angels, who are happy in the company of the brighter, more cheerful Necrons because they have no blood.
[QUOTE=Eonart;32121889]necrons are getting rhinos for fucks sake[/QUOTE] wait what the fuck did you say did you just say that the built to be a slow army of zombie robots whose tactics are based on unstoppable advances and heavy ordnance get fucking [I]troop transports[/I]
[QUOTE=gufu;32121898]He should make a movie. More GK, more women dying, more quirky Necron sidekicks.[/QUOTE] He's a down on his luck Blood Angel Dreadnought and she's the lord of an entire Necron Tomb world! Its the romantic comedy of the summer! Featuring Adam sandler as Paul the Dreadnought and Whoopie Goldburg as the necron he loves. Coming to a cinema near you.
I heard that Matt Ward is getting rid of Pariahs as well. Don't the Necrons need those guys to fight shit from the warp (in the fluff at least)? It would've made more sense to keep Pariahs and have those be the more humanised Necrons, if any of them have to be.

[quote]There are six new vehicles in the codex (including the two transports mentioned above) They have several units of jump troops, and 2 new transport vehicles. 1 transport can carry 15 necrons while another can carry 10. Jump pack units count as 2 models and jetbikes count as 5. The one that holds 10 is able to recover casualties to a unit (although can't take it beyond its starting strength). Necron vehicles besides the monolith are open-topped skimmers. However they have something called 'Quantum shielding' which gives their front & side armor +2 until the vehicle takes its first glance/pen, at which point it loses the shielding. One of these two transports (not sure which one) is apparently a personal transport for the Lord (and his retinue). [/quote]
Oh yeah they're getting jetbikes called Tomb Blades, because Necrons are just Tomb Kings in spess.
Ward is doing a Black Templars codex. They were my favourite chapter. why
i mean why not fuck it next edition, tyranids get troop transports just big ole fexxy things that function as vehicles and carry nids around, cause why the fuck not how about next we give the imperial guard the phase out rule and orks snipers then if we aren't too tired we can give railguns to the sisters of battle and artillery to the Tau [editline]5th September 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=The DooD;32122053]Oh yeah they're getting jetbikes called Tomb Blades, because Necrons are just Tomb Kings in spess.[/QUOTE] fucking jet bikes are you shitting me now my joke about ridiculous shit is completely undercut because of how fucking stupid that is you might as well put fucking dreadnoughts on jetbikes or some shit [editline]5th September 2011[/editline] They're turning the fucking harbingers of death into the fucking Romans from Life of Brian
This is where I'm getting my info from at the moment: [url]http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/365775.page[/url] Don't know how accurate it is, but the guy claims they're fairly solid rumours. [editline]5th September 2011[/editline] No more Phase Out
I haven't been keeping up with the TT game lately so I;m asking, is it just me or are models a hell of a lot more expensive than they used to be? edit: wait a sec did they fucking discontinue Lemartes? ( as in the model not the character because this new model looks retarded)
[quote] In the new fluff it sounds like the C'Tan were mainly killed off by the Necrons (or something like that), so the C'Tan that you field in the game are just remaining shards of their power. They're naturally still a really mean Monstrous Creature who rocks in combat, but you can also purchase a bunch of different abilities. These abilities are in line with a lot of the things we've seen in the last few codexes, things like: messing around with Deep Striking enemy units, making enemies moving through terrain differently, and allowing the Necron player to change some of his deployment, etc. So it sounds like you have a lot of different options with the C'Tan that really mess with the enemy army and/or supplement your own. And they are not one per army (so you can have 3 if you want to use up all your Elites on them, although it sounds like the other Elites choices are pretty awesome as well). [/quote] Apparently a mindless slave race decides that they're no longer mindless, nor slaves, and somehow manages to kill off their practically omnipotent creators.

necron flayed ones become super fast aggressive predators who are actually just normal folk with mental disorders OH WAIT THAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS [editline]5th September 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=RainbowStalin;32122154]All the people in that thread seemed really happy about all those changes.[/QUOTE] The people in that thread can eat a barrel of dicks. This is worse than a fucking CS Goto novel in terms of fluff skullfucking.
Turns out the Necrons were just some teenagers in metal suits play a big prank. Everyone laughs and the Emperor shows up and brings cake.
And everyone lived happily ever after. Cue Angry Marines...?
[QUOTE=The DooD;32122227]And everyone lived happily ever after. Cue Angry Marines...?[/QUOTE] The emperor hugs each and every angry marine and they become the happy marines. Turns out all they needed was a hug and a bedtime story.

Everyone laughs and the Emperor shows up and brings cake.[/QUOTE] matt ward reveals that the name "warhammer 40k" was a misprint, and the actual canon name is "brighthammer of the future" imperial guard now resemble the american fighting forces, going out into the galaxy spreading liberty and justice orks are merry fellows who live for song and festivity, and detest violence they live in ork holes under garden tilled earth, with great round green doors with knobs in the middle they often gather together and sing merry tunes and dance the night away, and often shy away from "the little folk" as they call us

Look, THESE ARE FUCKING NECRONS. [img]http://images.wikia.com/warhammer40k/images/8/85/NecronArt.jpg[/img] LOOK AT THEM. THEY ARE NOT HAPPY. THEY ARE NOT EMOTIONALLY CONFLICTED. THEY ARE NOT CAPABLE OF LAUGHTER BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO MOUTHS. THEY ARE NOT CAPABLE OF ANY PHYSICAL REACTION RESEMBLING LAUGHTER BECAUSE THEY DO NOT HAVE THE REQUIRED MUSCLES, NOR MUSCLES OF ANY KIND. THEY DO NOT NEED COUNSELING AND THEY DO NOT REBEL. THEY DO NOT NEED TRANSPORTS AND THEY DO NOT NEED FUCKING JET BIKES. THEY ARE FUCKING ZOMBIE ROBOTS. This is a Wardcron. [img]http://1d4chan.org/images/2/2b/FUCK.jpg[/img] There are many things that this is. But you know what it is the least? [I][B][U]A FUCKING NECRON.[/U][/B][/I]
HOW CAN YOU MAKE EVERYTHING WRONG The crunch, the fluff, the feel, the design, the setting, [I]everything.[/I] Every single individual factor is [I]wrong.[/I] How the fuck is this even possible? WHO IN THE NAME OF FUCK, [I]ESPECIALLY IN THIS DAY AND AGE[/I], CAN GET FUCKING[I] [U]ZOMBIES[/U][/I] WRONG They're everywhere! There are fucking zombie comics, zombie TV shows, zombie video games, zombie conventions, zombie novelty drinks, zombie cookware, if you look underneath your sofa there is a 98.7% chance of there being zombie related items there. And [I][B][U]they fucked it up.[/U][/B][/I] What esoteric and ungodly spawn of the dark side of the soul, dredged up from the black abyss of lucifer's pit could do something this [I]wrong?[/I] Okay. I'm done. That's that. I'm killing myself. There is no hope. [editline]5th September 2011[/editline] And one more thing, [I][B][U]CRYPTEKS?[/U][/B][/I] What the fuck? Since when did the mechanical counterparts of the time blighted egyptians talk in fucking Orkish?
Could anyone get me an image of the mouse cursor in Space Marine? I wanna use a modified version of it for my cursor but it won't appear in my screenshots.
