The worst thing you could ever do with 40k is take it seriously as a super edgy dark sci fi, it started off as a parody to other grimderp fantasy's and sci fi's during the 80's and 90's and remains so, subtly. Matt Ward is actually bringing back a lot of Rogue Trader lore.
I cannot break the new Crons to my brother.. He's such a big fan of the lore and to show him what faggot writers are handling some of it would break him.
4th edition Necrons are so bland, they're just a copy of Terminators in space with a mild theme of Egyptian infulenence. I mean fuck in Rogue Trade they were known as Imperial Andriods and you guys complain about lore being changed. They currently being redesigned like their 2nd edition counterparts again:

2nd edition Necron Lord, oh look - looks pretty much the same as the new lords. Necrons were mysterious raiders in 2nd edition. They appeared suddenly, attacked, than disappeared just as quickly, never any mention of being related to the C'tan either. In 3rd edition when the codex was released, the background of the Necrons was fully fleshed out. They weren’t just space cyborg raiders, they were an ancient race that once fought against the Old Ones. However, the biggest inclusion, and the most controversial, was the C’tan. They were “shoehorned” into everything, from the Gothic War to the Adeptus Mechanicus and even the creation of the Ork and Eldar races. While in 4th edition Apocalypse included some background dealing with their “Nodal command” structure, which is essentially a complicated way of saying chain of command. The Apocalypse book hypes it as some crazy arcane way of command and control, but it’s just like any other command and control structure. The only thing interesting is that it brings the concept of “bronze,” “silver,” “gold,” and “platinum” level Necron Lords. There were some other books released around this time, like Xenology, Mechanicus, and a few others, but none were really groundbreaking with new background. Xenology did show that Necron Lords have the ability to mimic other sentient races much like a C’tan does, but that’s about it. I believe this edition also mentioned the Deceiver being responsible for Abaddon obtaining his daemon sword Drach'nyen. The Deceiver also apparently fought Cypher, but one of the chaos gods saved his life.
Matt Ward isn't really any different from the others, Necron fluff is always being changed.

[QUOTE=Vasili;32784244]Flayed ones are a prime example of Necrons having emotions in older fluff, they have always been aware; they are literally souls stuck inside living metal cases that are still conscious, their emotions were turned towards hatred though because they were jealous of the living.[/QUOTE]
Does the fact that they're jealous of the living make them collect their skin?

Can someone post a link to that mod for Dawn of War that almost every one uses?
So Matt Ward wants Grey Knights to be susceptible to Chaos?
Why Matt Ward, why, 40k is going to shit because of you.

Fucking [b]AWESOME[/b].
I would have preferred them adding a new race instead of a Last Stand hero, though, this will encourage a lot of people to buy retribution, because some people didn't buy retribution mainly because it had no Tau.
All they need to do now is add some kind of Grey Knight hero like a Brotherhood Champion to appease Grey Knight fans.

See the shape the prongs make? It's a big U, isn't it? And it looks like a rowboat. Guess who was the primarch of the Ultramarines?
That's right, it gets worse. The C'Tan are back, more terrifying than ever. And now, for the first time, GW is proud to unveil their leader. A monstrous, spectral entity known only in whispered tones as
RH'OBUT GH'UL'IH'MAN
...the stars themselves tremble at His passing.

I have a spare copy of the base DoW2 if anyone needs it.
[QUOTE=Vasili;32792166]The Deceiver also apparently fought Cypher, but one of the chaos gods saved his life.[/QUOTE]
Do you know which Chaos God?
Also, i think Cypher would win against the Deciever, the Deciever barely has any weapon except for his guile and trickery.
Did not expect a Tau commander. I like it, although it seems a bit too static considering the Tau pretty much literally becomes the suit.
Anyway, now that i think about it, the new necron stuff isn't as bad as i thought it was. I like how they are going back to the Egpytian theme.

Set Post-processing to High. Any other settings just make the armor look 16 bit.
Seems a bit late to be adding new races.
Is Retribution worth 10 euro?

It is worth 10 euros.
It uses steamworks instead of GFWL, it has a campaign where you can choose which race you play as, new units, the Imperial Guard race and a new Last Stand hero.
I hope they make some different weapons for the current TLS characters, having a sniper for the farseer makes her a lot more usefull.

In fact if anything Tomb Kings copied Necrons, seeing as they came about much, much later.

Tomb Kings have always existed in the fluff, it was only that they were given an armybook after the Necrons. And the Necrons are now becoming the Tomb Kings. I'm okay with this.
