500 Worlds Battalion: Necrons

[Nephaston]

Spotted on discord by someone who allegedly stumbled upon it out in the real world.

 

The "500 Worlds" branding makes me think this might be the general area for the end of edition campaign, since some of the rumoured characters are either frequently in and around Ultramar, like Huron, or have no issues going there on a whim like Yriel and Trazyn. Wasn't there also a rumour about a redone Guilliman?

Girlyman getting another model? Sheesh, dem UM boys be eating good

On necron side, i wish they brought back Trazyn, Obyron and Zahndrekh. Trazyn been collecting his own army around galaxy, i think he had little help From Orikan once?

Mould might have broken or deteriorated. Or someone complained enough about struggling with painting the filigree.

Didn’t Valrak say he heard the Guilliman rumours weren’t true?

 

I’d imagine if the narrative campaign is 500 Worlds, then the UM were meant to be apart of that release, but the leak bumped them up. Probably why certain kits are limited stock at the moment with the FLGS’s. They’re definitely cranking out the new Bloodbowl and probably 11th at this point, so might have meant limited capacity to pump out all of the UM’s that got moved up? 
 

I’d guess this box goes with the rumoured update to Trazyn.

Having the end of edition narrative look at a bunch of flashpoints around the 500 worlds would be quite fun, and new discount boxes like the boarding patrols last edition is always nice to see.

500 worlds also means we can revisit previous war settings like Calth, Konor, Iax (or Pestiliax as of Plague War).

Lots of UM successor Chapters within the 500 worlds.  Let’s hope they get some of the spotlight and not just the blue boys.

Can't put up the link now, but shadowhunts article talked about the harbinger, a renegade psyker turned doomsday prophet that is gathering a following on one ( or more ?) Worlds of ultramar. I wonder if this might be a token new character ( so far there always has been at least 1 in any end of edition campaign )

 

.. if he is mortal as implied but tied to night lords ( because murder wings paintjob) this could even be one of the older unsolved rumor engines I ( and probably everyone else ) expects to be vampires related.
