thank you for reading
Here it is said that necrons could appear in January, February also if it is more likely that those dates are for tyranids and necrons should appear in march-april.
Codex is 90% written by Phill kelly and it is said that it is in the making and should be finished in 2 or 3 months.
RULES
First of all: PHASE OUT WILL BE FINALLY REMOVED
At 99% C'Tan will be removed from codex and will become forge world apocalypse only creatures.
There will be 3 or 4 tiers from lord, the more likly rumors say that there will be a normal lord, a destroyer lord, a wraith-lord and maybe a spyder lord.
Some say we can expect to see Named Lords such as those that appeared in the Medusa V campaign background.
the substitution of "we'll be back" rule has been widely discussed but it is very likely to remain and have some rules changed.
The necron rule is likely to give this special rules: stubborn, we'll be back at 99% but it could give slow and purposeful.
(a personal consideration: in planetstrike the necron attack stratagem makes necrons move through difficult terrain without making tests, this could be because of the slow and purposeful rule)
There are possible rumors of a +1T boost to 60% necron units, at 90% warriors will receive it.
Warriors will most likely have T5, gauss flayer, necron rule(s), I2 or 3 and will possibly be equipped with a sort of grenade and will be 23 points exactly like nurgle marines.
The gauss rule has no news.
The monolith will maybe have some special rules addon and will arrive at 300points.
It is said that pylon will appear in codex.
More than one new unit is being developed now, surely necrons will have a new vehicle (obelisk or a walker scorpion...)
Rumors say that there will be 2 types of scarabs: normal and builder scarabs which could act as a globe.
Wraiths are said to become 50 points with 3+ (I), I6, Str6 and power weapons or rending, it is more likely that they will have power weapons because of not making them anti-vehicle with the rendind weapons.
There should be 1 new type of destroyer with a gauss flamer.
BACKGROUND
Background will be expanded going to go into a bit more detail of the Necrons now & before they became machines.
Rumours seem to indicate that GW is still playing with where they want the background to sit.
Miniatures
New Plastic Flayed Ones and immortals in boxes of 5 or 10
There could be a lord plastic set with all the possible builds.
same thing could happen with destroyes in plastic boxes of 1 or 3

From Warseer as usual (thanks to Captain Ventris):
Necrons are being redone, will fall after IG, DE, and Spacewolves are done and released...so late 2009ish
No there is NOT a new monolith coming that I've heard of, however there is a new Vehicle called the Obelisk, supposed to be essentially an immobile Monolith without the portal but a little better all around shooting weapon. (Particle whip works the same way as monolith). Its supposed to always DS same as a 'lith, moving offending models out of the way and its supposed to be reasonably sized (slightly taller than a monolith but somewhat not as stout, I've not seen pictures and nor has he)
Additionally Necrons are losing WBB in favor of FNP, the Gauss weapons are gaining Rending to lower the odd rules count and with the 5th ed. Rending rules this sounds to be about the same as they work now with some added kick against infantry
Necron models will be supposedly also getting Slow and Purposeful, Disruption fields will be standard kit, and there will be an increase in points per model.
Rez orb will get a 12" range rather than 6" and always allow a Necron Model to take his FNP test regardless of anything short of a vortex grenade
Necrons are losing Phase out to make them more tournament friendly
There is also supposed to be a new Necron Unit (he described it as a close-combat/shooty unit) as well as re-sculpts of the Tomb Spyder, Lords, and a re-cut of the Warriors legs to make them fit on the bases a little better. Also two new pieces of kit for the Lords, one Gives him the Anti-Psyker rule the Pariahs have, and the other is something akin to a powerfist that strikes at normal initiative, but at Str. 6, not 8
He also said that they were discussing bringing in a new C'Tan God, but that being that there are only four remaining, one of which is on Mars, that was probably going to be axe'd.
Oli postattu "23rd Mar 09, 10:05 PM" ja kenties Warseeriin vielä jonkin verran aikaisemmin, joten vähän vanhempaa informaatiota näyttää olevan, mutta siinä on jotakin huhuja joita tuossa ei taideta olla vielä mainittu.
Tosiaan viimeisimpien kuulemieni huhujen mukaan Necronien pitäisi ilmestyä 2011 alussa.
Aikatauluista ja huhujen todenperäisyydestä en kuitenkaan mene takuuseen.
