What's the pace for releases these days, is the consensus we'll be seeing one of these pictured releases each month into next year or is this a 2025 roadmap?

Some excellent points to consider here. Once I saw it's two Armigers holding objectives for a turn my first thought was on target priority. I remember playing my Land Raider back in the times of armour values and once I got rid of the things with attacks s8 and higher my tank was free to run amok as I saw fit. This seems quite the same in order to stay functional in scoring points. Also I can confirm that the Armiger box contains parts for both variants. They're the two models I've built for my army so far, and I went one of each just so I got to see them both built. Now I have a Combat Patrol! Glorious.

Those look awesome! Papa Nurgle would approve. I wonder, since Combat Patrol has static loadouts, what that will look like for both sides. I imagine if there's no option the Imperial side will be one of each type.

In the upcoming White Dwarf magazine we'll be getting Armiger Combat Patrols. By the looks of it they will include just two Armigers, though it would be nice to have three. I've never played Combat Patrol since my collections are older and none of them quite fit, but this may just let me get my Knight army on the table before 2026 hits. I had been wondering if there would be a Combat Patrol once the Codex came around, and since it looks to be much later this year I'm happy to pick up a WD and try this out.

I would be happy to see the plastic Cerastus kits rolled into the Codex, alongside new Armiger variants. I'm jealous of Chaos' gatling gun and claw. I think that adding infantry units to a Knight army would be easier to manage via Detachments or Allies. I didn't see it at the time, but looked at the Questor Forgepact today and liked the way it included AdMech infantry. Household infantry would be quite cool though.

While I would celebrate First Founding supplements, aren't all those characters already included in the SM book? Seems odd to double up entries, or leave Chapter Masters in the core book instead of their Chapter's supplement. What units could be added, or could this be something more akin to First Founding upgrade sprues?

Excellent colour choices, and the mercenary lore is an excellent angle to take. I look forward to seeing the Xalitekh Dynasty expand!

There used to be centipede -like models for Necrons, the Canoptek Tomb Stalker and Tomb Sentinel. They looked cool but I guess sales weren't so great from Forgeworld so now they're Legends.

NECRON UNIT OF THE WEEK SERIES Welcome to the Necron Unit of the Week series for 10th edition! Each week will see a different unit from the Codex, Imperial Armour, and Legends datasheets featured for discussion. The goal here is to discover and chronicle tactics for the featured unit so that new players and veterans alike can use this database to inform their strategies with the wider knowledge of the forum. The game of Warhammer 40,000 is ever changing though, and as the rules evolve throughout the edition everyone should feel free to return to older threads with the release of new FAQs/errata, changes in points values, information gathered from games played, and of course the Codex being released. These threads are also great places for newcomers to the Necrons to post their questions about tactics related to the featured units. Please note that the purpose of this series is not to lament what the current meta deems “ineffective”, or that another unit “does it better”. Those units will get their own threads. This week’s unit is: Tesseract Vault What do you use your Tesseract Vault to accomplish in games? Which C'Tan Powers are you finding most effective? How are you finding its durability? Which Detachment are you using, are there any Stratagems of note? Series Index

Canoptek constructs are generally caretakers and defenders of the Tomb World. I imagine they're used for conflicts with "lesser" races to preserve Necron troops for more worthwhile engagements. To me, an all-Canoptek force would fit at least those situations perfectly.

I don't think there's any Dynasty specifically stated as using more Canoptek constructs than others. Perhaps you could say that due to their technological prestige the Mephrit Dynasty would make more use out of them. I can't recall which book this is from, but I do seem to recall a massive construct in space made by the Mephrit Crypteks (but used by the main characters; oh, maybe it's one of the Twice Dead King books) being referred to as "Canoptek".

You know, when I saw these rules I thought to myself that my CCB w. 3x Annihilation Barges of yesteryear would thoroughly love this Detachment. Figured that Dread Majesty would go nicely with the AnniBarge's firepower.

Happy Grotsmas indeed! The new Detachment released by Warhammer Community as part of their 40k Advent Calendar is really quite nice. Here's a link to the WarCom download page if you're unfamiliar with this glorious addition to our toolbox. The general focus is making Necrons Vehicle and Mounted units more consistent with shooting, movement, and durability. Here's a Goonhammer article that runs through what this brings to the table quite thoroughly. For me, I'm quite looking forward starting out with this 1k list and building out as I get the hang of things. I think that Chrono-Impedance Fields reducing incoming damage to the Lokhust will be excellent, and I also welcome the Assault keyword added to their weapons. The Unyielding Forms stratagem will further help filter out some incoming wounds, and so long as they're pushing up to objectives you can activate their Reanimation Protocols an extra time with Endless Servitude. I feel like Imotekh would be useful for his CP generation because all of these stratagems look like they could be useful. Even the Dimensional Tunnel one would help me pop the DDA out from behind cover. What's everyone else's reaction to this new Detachment, do you think that it's worth switching away from the more popular choices right now? From what I've garnered from Fb comments, GW means to add these Grotmas options to the app come January as official content.
