Ahzek451 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 (edited) Someone spotted this on the facebook page. I beleive hidden in the back of a white dwarf picture. Seems to be our missing cryptek with control node. The gifts just keep coming. What else is out there?

The_Chaplain Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 What does the control node do? I just thought that was a piece of cryptek arkana and didnt necessarily warrant a full blown model. Dont get me wrong, id love more models to build and paint for necrons!

Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Canoptek Control Node Gives a +1 to hit to all Cantopek keyword units within 6" of him. Needless to say this makes him popular with Triple Doomstalker builds.

Anticontrarian Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Well, it's less that the Control Node warrants a full model, more that the current plastic Technomancer has the other piece of wargear, the Canoptek Cloak, which very much DOES warrant a different model due to including a wee Canoptek beastie for the Technomancer to surf around on. I was actually rather disappointed in GW for not providing a new plastic option for the footslogging Technomancer - turns out they actually have made one, but decided not to mention it in the same preview as the "hey look, these Crypteks are coming, and they do fancy new stuff!" stream. And to think, I thought I was -done- buying Necrons for a wee while after the last six tomb blades I'm still waiting to buy.

01RTB01 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Still think it's a conversion. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/368185-new-cryptek-spotted/#findComment-5645203 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr4Minutes Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 (edited) If that’s a conversion, it’s a very good one. I have no idea where most of those bits came from LOL.(I’m not an expert kit basher so it could easily be a conversion) My biggest gripe with the Technomancer is he can’t take both upgrades, which I think he needs to be complete. I want the +1 to hit to buff wraiths and scarabs, but now he can’t keep up. So I take the cloak to keep up and heal, but now he can’t buff their to hit. If the control node was arkana he’d be a pretty outstanding choice.

Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 There is an Arkana to give a canoptek unit extra attacks. That might be worth a look for you, Mr4Minutes.

And to think, I thought I was -done- buying Necrons for a wee while after the last six tomb blades I'm still waiting to buy. And I just bought the $18 resin Cryptek with the little orb in his hand to be mine, so his little 25 base will really stick out. :) It could certainly just be a converted cloak guy, since the newer Crypteks don't have the same aesthetic as the old ones and this looks more oldey.

01RTB01 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Having looked across the range and pic on large screen I don't think it is a conversion. Also the chronomancer has been seen with the alternative weapon too on the same pic. Hopeful for January release...

Perry Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 What if this new Cryptek is bundled in some sort of army deal? Might not be an individual release.

Bonzi Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 What if this new Cryptek is bundled in some sort of army deal? Might not be an individual release. What would be lovely is if it is released with our remaining Crypteks and Flayed Ones which we haven't seen since the dex dropped.

gaurdian31 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 They could be meaning something like Forgebane, Tooth and Claw or Prophecy of the Wolf. Those all had new models in them and I would call them army deals.

01RTB01 Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Between Indomitus, the core sets and Christmas box it's someone else's turn I think :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/368185-new-cryptek-spotted/#findComment-5646037 Share on other sites More sharing options...
VoceNoctum Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 There's still the missing sprue from Indomitus also. Plasmancer, Cryptothralls and the all important Reanimator. How can we run any necron list without the reanimator? And the Skorp lord too. I saw they mentioned doing the SM Bladeguard Vets as a box, and maybe Judiciar will be along somewhere, but there's an awful lot of stuff to come out with and they can't seem to produce what they already make...

Ahzek451 Posted January 4, 2021 Author Share Posted January 4, 2021 Looks like it's a store anniversary exclusive. Kamoteph the crooked. Sad that he's not a general release. Here is hoping he will be more accessible than normal.

VoceNoctum Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Yeah, came to post when I saw the email. I may try to get him, but won't be terribly worried if I don't. He's new, but nothing super duper special looking. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/368185-new-cryptek-spotted/#findComment-5650703 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miek Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Would he get special rules or is he a simple technomancer with a different build? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/368185-new-cryptek-spotted/#findComment-5651027 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr4Minutes Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Probably just a Technomancer with a different look. I usually only dip in to my local GW to pick up the limited edition models. So I’m looking forward to picking this guy up in October.
