I was searching for some unusual necrons, and here's what I've found: Necrons with different color scheme: And something home-made. A Necron-Titan! (impressive.... but for the photo I would have picked a different background )
So if you’re an Imperium player and you hate Ultramarines, which army do you play? It would be the most interesting idea, it would allow my Tyranids and Necrons to ally and it would wipe the abomination known as 8th Edition 40K Lore off the face of the galaxy. Three incredibly valid reasons why it should happen
Not as quiet as it is on Necrontyr Online. Seriously, the only folk over there are 8th Edition fans talking about tactics and what might appear in the upcoming Necron codex (which should have been released before the Tau one but obviously GW didn’t listen to the ordering mentioned on the packaging). I mainly ruled the Roleplay Section, but as it is now virtually abandoned I mostly frequent Lustria exclusively. At least the first two of those pics (and possibly the third as well) were produced by Arhurt, a renowned user on Necrontyr Online and probably the most active painter over there at the moment. Have a look there and you will probably find his works in the painting section.
Why should they have been first? Also, what's wrong with 8th edition apart from it being new so obviously old people dislike it?
Answering your 2 questions: 1. Necrons should be first because they deserve to have a codex before Dark Eldar and Tau for once. It has always been throughout 40K history that Tau have been one of the first alien races to get a Codex and it is about time that that was changed for the better. 2. I have 2 main grudges against 8th Edition. The first is the lore. The new lore changes I feel are pretty bad, with Chaos being the ones who are winning rather than alien races and the majority of the Edition being about Imperium vs Chaos. Boring as anything, although the piece of lore I hate the most is the fact that the pathetic Blood Angels beat the Tyranids on Baal purely so that Blood Angels players could continue to use their poncy angelic army. It would have been so much more original if the Tyranids had completely stomped the Blood Angels and devoured their chapter planet. GW could have still kept the Blood Angels alive to appease the Blood Angel players but instead perhaps just have them as a tiny, desperate band of refugees or something, the last of their chapter facing insurmountable odds. Instead they just did a repeat of the Battle of Macragge only with a different chapter and a different Hive Fleet. The second is the fact that GW simply kept the same cover art on the new codices, only giving them a border to make them different from 6th/7th Edition books (except of course for the Spess Mehreens book that got a new cover) which looks really cheap and awful, such a waste of potential. Other than that I don’t really have much wrong with it, but you won’t see me getting started in it because I’m not going to waste my money on yet another rulebook and said codices.
