Necron novels - what are we likely to see come out?

[Brother Dougal]

Just a topic that came to mind of late. It may just be me, but thinking on it, are Necrons the least-mentioned faction in Warhammer? From all the novels I’ve seen come out of late, the vast majority are about the Imperium and Chaos (naturally) followed closely by Eldar, with a few more about Tyranids as antagonists. Oh, and Tau too, can’t forget about them.

 

So I’m just sitting here, pondering about what’s to come next from the march of doom. Has anyone heard of anything coming soon? I’ve not read all the 8th Edition codexes, do they give any hints?

 

And, just as a hypothetical exercise, has anyone given any thought to what they would like to see about a story starring the metal monsters? There’s been 1 or 2 shorts already, a novella as well, and an anthology collecting those stories. Anything more we’d like to see? Who would you want to star in it? Who would you like to write it?

 

(I’m just throwing questions out there like fish hooks, hoping one will catch a bite.)

ADB talked about the revised Nevron fluff on his Reddit ask me anything ... Made me wish we could have a novel by him on them!

 

There was a Necron in Sons of the Hydra though.

I wouldn’t mind a novel starring Nemesor Zandrekh and his bodyguard, Vargard Obyron. Something to explore their relationship a bit more closely.

 

Not sure who I’d like them to face. Ooooh, more Blood Angel Heresy? Hey, there was a story once where the Silent King claimed to meet Sanguinius. Did that every show up in the HH books?
