Captain Idaho Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 GW promised us a new kit with a new Codex, so the question is what would that be? A completely new unit or updated previous one? Looking at the range, the Destroyers kit are the last unit that is outdated, with the Nightbringer and Deceiver being out of date characters. It's possible GW will release one of those, hopefully the Destroyers with perhaps an upgraded gun and maybe even a choice of a different one to go with it. I'd doubt we'd get a completely new unit however. Seems like a generation commitment from GW though it would be nice to see something. I can see a larger variant of Flayed One and maybe even a character too, though this is an outside chance. Hmm... I think we're all worried about just getting another Cryptek and them calling it a day. What do Nemesors and Crypteks here feel would be the case?

NTaW Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 Ah, the classic GW promise. What they say is always true, from a certain point of view It could be the Destroyers getting redone or any of the push fit models getting multipart kits or individual release but I'd bet it's a named character. Any chance for a narrative tie-in for clues? Perhaps it will be linked to an adjacent Codex release as opposing factions instead of just models with the book.

Dread Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 No more characters please. We have way enough, more than most armies. As for something new, can't think anything we lack. We have most things covered . Grant it new shineys are always welcome and encouraged, love my battle bots. Kenzaburo 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 I’d be okay with either new crypteks (geomancer/datamancer would be cool), or resculpted resin characters. Also a Flayer Lord. And rules/Models for an Ophydian Lord. And Royal Wardens with weapons other than a Gauss blaster, a la Neth in TDK. And Lychguard upgrade sprues to provide weapons from same. And, and, and… oh, and maybe a nice updated Lord sculpt with an orb and warscythe. (Or I guess it’s a ‘Lords Blade’ now ) …it seems I have a long wishlist. Mostly I want customization but I, uh… don’t see that happening unfortunately. Basically, if we saw it in either TDK or TIATD (Hello Triarchal Executioner?), I want it, and I’d dearly love updated Trazyn and Orikan.

Malakithe Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 If GW pulls what the do for AoS every faction will just get some 5w Leader no one wanted. Def dont want more Leaders and I dont really care about any of the special characters. Updated Destroyers and Destroyer Lord could be nice though.

Captain Idaho Posted June 29 Author Share Posted June 29 Ah a Triarch Lord type would fit the character release theme we really expect when hoping for more. That's a good call. Lord Enki 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Ikka Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 Most practical (i.e.- won't happen) options - New Lohkust Destroyers/Destroyer Lord, Nightbringer/Deceiver models Re-done named characters - Best guess would Orikan and Trazyn. Too late to do an Infinite and Divine tie-in, but both are fairly agnostic as far as rules go and have older sculpts. Anrakyr is also an option as he is in general used more, but is not as fluffy of a choice. New characters - I can see a new cryptek or two being possible, as we've barely scratched the surface of the various Necron science disciplines. A new named character could be Oltyx, the Twice-Dead King, now the Fallen Lord Valgul and Flayer King. A Flayer character would be really interesting, and probably make Flayed Ones better now if he gave them something like +1 damage or +1 to Wound. sitnam 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dice4thedicegod Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 (edited) Yeah, a flayer character would be excellent. What we will get Will probably be a generic lord. Without res orb. Edited June 29 by dice4thedicegod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Idaho Posted June 29 Author Share Posted June 29 I always wanted to buy into the idea of expanded Flayer Cults, Destroyer Cults (we have more now but there's always more that can be done) and the Canoptek focus. Beyond a simple theme, extra models to fill out the "troops, Elites, Assault and heavy support" dynamic. Now that is dreaming.

gaurdian31 Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 Probably going to just be rules for the upgrade kit characters from the Kill Team release, though I hope new Death Bringer/Deceiver and the characters that are in finecast get plastic. Also new Destroyers would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyriks Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 We do have a ton of HQs but I honestly wouldn't mind more. All of our existing ones are either very specific (i.e.Skorpekh Lords) or trying to do basically the same thing (i.e. Lord, Overlord, Royal Warden, every named Overlord/Lord). I wouldn't mind a new HQ if it does something new. But if it's a new Overlord with a different weapon loadout it'd be a major disappointment!

Ahzek451 Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 (edited) My geuss is based more on history and pattern over personal desire. I'd wager a new plastic version of an existing finecast character. Old kits receiving an update seem to have a higher priority. Anything is possible, but I dont see an updated version of lokhust destroyers in this wave since they bothered to include plastic grey tubes, giving me the hint that this kit is sticking around for a couple editions at least. Lokhust and ophydian's dont have lords, so could see them. Now for my personal wish? I do miss pariahs. And personally frustrated they took the pylon away. But I'd never bet a new plastic pylon lol. We dont really have a cryptek on foot anymore.....I mean that's currently available. Edited June 30 by Ahzek451 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Idaho Posted June 30 Author Share Posted June 30 Ah, I miss Pariahs. Even if they're slightly different to Warscythes etc, I'd be all over them like a rash. Maloch616, JaM_TW and Ahzek451 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also figured that they were too close to lychguard for it to be a reality.....alternatively it's an opportunity to slightly change the idea. Still keep the core of elite, mecha pariahs, but maybe they could be wielding something else. Lore-wise this has been a combined effort between szeres and the king in experimenting with organics and transfering necron conscienceness....Let the imagination go. But I do know that a lot of people have been pestering GW for them multiple times on facebook, and GW has a decent track record for listening to model demand.....take it for what you will.

Brother Captain Ed Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 My money is on resculpted c'tan. I think the originals are old enough to buy alcohol now. New centerpiece model, no datasheet concerns. Seems logical to me. JaM_TW and Captain Idaho 1 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
