[Cornbread]

Gamespy have posted a hands-on report on DC. They seem to like DC; who'd-a thunk it?

thats just about the cutest thing i have ever seen.. LOL

great find by the way ;)

[Netsurfer733]

What is it w/Necrons and pink...STOP! lol

[Shuma]

That Neon Lord is Horrible.

[Shinova]

That Neon Lord is Horrible.

Horrible is in the eye of the beholder, and this one says it is good.

[Terminator]

It's too purple for my likiing, needs more pink in it;)

[Shuma]

It needs to be black... Black!!! Black do you hear me!!1, tomorrow you'll see black!! Clack Necrons!!!1!!!!12@!!!11!!11lololololo! Eleven.

[NeoHunter]

That is indeed a horrible sight. A mighty and terrible Necron Lord has suddenly become as digusting as Barney the Purple Dinosaur.

[Shinova]

That is indeed a horrible sight. A mighty and terrible Necron Lord has suddenly become as digusting as Barney the Purple Dinosaur.

He has a built-in nightmare shroud that conjures mental images of naked Barney coming onto you.


But I hope their buildings carry the same teamcolorableness.

[NeoHunter]

Off-topic: Barney doesn't have any clothes on in the first place. So, how naked can it get?

On topic: I am pretty sure it will carry on to the structures as well.

[Shinova]

Off-topic: Barney doesn't have any clothes on in the first place. So, how naked can it get?

Anything can get more naked. And vulnerable.


Oh, and 7500 HP for Greater Summoning Core. Yikes.



EDIT: I love this,

An interesting thought came into my head: Is the Necron Lord of Kronus, Tomas Macabee?


(EDIT: Davor's explanation makes more sense, but it's spoilerish)




I WANT THIS GAME NOW!!!!!!!!! NOW NOW NOW NOW!!!!!!

[Shuma]

Ethereal Body Guard? http://media.pc.gamespy.com/media/802/802065/img_3979178.html

[Davor]

Ethereal Body Guard? http://media.pc.gamespy.com/media/802/802065/img_3979178.html

No sir, look at the name, it's the personal log from a human that's been turned into a Pariah.

[Shuma]

Sorry, i meant http://media.pc.gamespy.com/media/802/802065/img_3979186.html .

[Davor]

Oh, well then yes. :lol:

[ZellFish]

An interesting thought came into my head: Is the Necron Lord of Kronus, Tomas Macabee?


Quite possible. Read Xenology. A Necron Lord masquerades as an Inquisitor.

[NeoHunter]

Oh...suddenly, I am hit with an inspiration to get an Ethereal and a box of Fire Warriors to be the Honor Guard.

Hmm...they seem to be missing that circle aura thingy at their feet...

[HexHammer]

Luck would have it no gaming sit will write about the online part, it would be fun to see how GS would deal with their own poor service.

[Shas'la]

The thumbnails are broken and i cant enlarge screenshots,

Tomb spyders have 6750 hitpoints?! Isn't that much more than any other walker? This, a big attack, AND the ablility to make units for relatively free?

[nemesis09]

No sir, look at the name, it's the personal log from a

human that's been turned into a Pariah.

If you read it clearly...its a tau that became some necron thingy.

[Rifts]

I thought so at first too, but the log refers to Gue'la Tomas Macabee. Gue'la is the Tau word for human, so at least he was human race-wise. Could have easily been a human integrated into the Tau empire, though.

[Imperial Dane]

Quite intersting, plus some very good screenshots. Nice seeing some honour guard units.

[Grov]

Wow, Necrons building have really high hit points? 7500 for forbidden archives?

[RedDeath]

http://media.pc.gamespy.com/media/802/802065/img_3979189.html
Isn´t this Guardsman/Sergeant very similar to Sturnn?

[Imperial Dane]

That is a necron unit..

[RedDeath]

Oops that´s not right :S I´ll try and edit the post

So :D

[Njorhg]

Looks like a GM sergeant...

[Imperial Dane]

Well he does look a little different.. but not so much like sturnn.

[Ifitmovesnukeit]

That hanged sergeant was present in WA too.

[Nessy]

The guys at GameSpy, especially Delsyn, always makes it a point to fully utilize the painter to turn his armies into pink killing machines. QFT. :)

[Kingwood]

What is the first unit in the selection screen? I am awfully sorry, but that looks to me like a Necron having a sexual identity crisis. A Necron with a wig.. or what?

Edit: Wrong link, fixed

[Carl]

Flayed one. (Not important enough for my thread BTW:p).

[Njorhg]

The Wig? That's skin and flesh ;)

[Kingwood]

Thanks. I'll forever consider it a wig, though. :hmmm:

[Njorhg]

By all means, I'll consider it a shiney-head skin wig
