How long till there is a new Necron Codex.........
meanwhile- http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/content/article.jsp?aId=4500006a
Isn't that their second codex since the last Necron book?
I mean really, I'd have felt better if it was another army that was waiting, like dark eldar, lost and the damed, or demiurge (aka squats).
Whaaaa whaaaaaa...
And YES! I DO want cheese with my whine!!!!! Grilled lightly with GAUSS FIRE!!!!!!!!

Now I have to chime in...
At least you have a codex... mine was taken from me. Stolen from me by GW. WHY GW, WHY ME!? GIVE ME BACK MY MUTANTS IN A TOURNAMENT SETTING!
Just field 3 monoliths and keep 2 squads of 15 warriors in reserve every game. ;D

That White Dwarf = Squat Techmarine

WTF? Tyrinids do not need another codex. Necrons Dark Angels and Blood angels do! that tech preist looks sweet i want one!
-
I fully support a new Tyranid Codex. Tyranids are badass, their models are cool looking, and I like their fluff.
Giant space bugs that rip stuff in half and assimilate = owange.
-
They're a codex that can be done quickly, needing mostly point cost adjustments and updated wording. I imagine they're pumping it out because it will be so easy.
Rumors circulate that they are currently working on a MAJOR overhaul for Necrons, as well as new stuff for DE. It probably takes a lot of time to take an army that was dull even for 3rd ed. and make it in line with the other 5th edition books.

didn't they have a new codex for blood angels in a recent white dwarf

They did but marine players just have to whine. Any army with a 3+ armor save "....has a lot going for it..."
-
i fully support tyranids being redone right now... sure its not fair to necrons and dark eldar, but ian said it right, if theyre doing a major overhaul, y not do a quick codex. tyranids get boned by everything since the addition of 5th edition anyway, so y not give them a chance

I feel they have more to complain about than LatD players.

The green marines vs. the red marines vs. grey marines vs. the black marines. I was making a joke about the old thousand sons comment but seriously, there are tons of different marines and most marine players just use their different color marines as vanilla marines anyway. The chaos cultists and mutants and traitors offer a far more interesting/ varied canvas than two codex marine chapters- one with skeletons in the closet and the other that watched twilight too many times.
The argument against LatD is that it was a splash release. It was a long time coming and deserves a codex far more than daemons did. I guess daemons are more common than the mutants that revolt on planets and eventually summon a bloodletter to break a platoon on a planet.

accually, I still lose to tryanids all of the time

they are still a decent force in 5th, but the problem is that the alot of the new rules screw with the way they play.
I know a few of their bio-morphs are useless now like the rippers and the thornback upgrade. Since there is no more out numbering in combat there is no point in take them.
I think Ian is right though, its a nice quick codex to bang out. I doubt there will be anything new really in the army.

its speculated that theres gonna be 4 new additions to the codex which is including but not limeted to the malanthrope! and apparently, depending on your hq choice, different things become troops. genestealers are moving to elites unless you take broodlord, malanthrope is apparently gonna make rippers scoring, hive tyrant will allow you to take troop tyranid warriors. gaunts will apparently be 3 points and come without number, and hormagaunts will have the option of without number. you will have the option to put warriors in ALL force org chart slots.
once again, these are only rumors and speculations that chris has told me from warpshadow.com
