Yeah didn’t he get caught cheating twice on the same day? Dude got raked through the coals for it. I bet he felt like absolute shite considering it’s all anybody spoke about for like a week.

He deserved it. He wasn't just kinda cheating, he was egregiously cheating. BOLS did a play-by-play breakdown of all the stuff he got busted doing at the London GT. He was caught fudging dice rolls, lying about discarding objective cards, misinterpreting rules to his advantage, and using a water glass to "accidentally" move his models. My favorite was the one where he claimed he'd pre-measured a model's movement and the other guy called him on it, so he fudged measuring it and the guy called him on that too.

Of course, nothing will ever beat the story of Wheels vs. Shooter.

Daemon’s advocate:
1. It’s an almost 20 year old update to a model that is probably bigger and has more detail/extra bits.

2. The monolith is now a super-heavy unit so should be more expensive money wise for its equivalent rise in points.

3. It’s Games Workshop, they ain’t letting you make an army cheap.

Indeed.

I mean, I like the model, it's pretty. And statwise it's not your daddy's Monolith.

But goddamn GW is gonna milk the whales hard.

I think I might sit down and touch up the paint on my old 'lith.

It's a hundred and seventy goddamn dollars, and the Void Dragon is $110. GW is taking the piss, considering I could buy both of the other C'tan shards they currently make for that and have money left over.

Do necron players even really use those things? I never see anyone play them or even talk about then unless its in really big games.

I used my Deceiver all the time since being able to re-deploy units is a great ability and it wasn’t to bad in combat. The Nightbringer and Void Dragon are better this codex though.

It's varied through the editions. 3rd edition Nightbringer was a natural disaster -- I remember feeling bad when I fielded him because there was very little that could slow him down. 5th scaled him back a lot, although in 8th he wasn't terrible because you could hide him in a Scarab Swarm and deliver him into the face of your enemy where he was most effective.

9th edition, though, Nightbringer is a goddamn rape machine. I would say Void Dragon is right behind him in terms of ass-crushing, but Super Goth Buttfucker is going to be a prime pick even with his godawful 350 point cost.

EDIT: Sigh, of course you meant Monoliths... although a lot of things I just said about NB apply to the 'liths as well. 3E Monoliths were walls of fuck-you, only stopped by massed heavy tank fire (AV 14 on all sides and ignored any armor-reduction effects). In 8th they weren't bad, but their range was somewhat anemic compared to other factions' heavy vehicles.

9E definitely buffs them with the death ray option and the range buff to the particle whip. With 24 wounds, Living Metal, and a Canoptek Spyder, they may be big targets but they'll be hard ones.

At the same time, 9th banishes Monoliths to the Lord of War slot, where it's going to be a whole lot harder to justify them even with the good statline.
 
Is it me or the new Terminator chaplain GW announced uses the same base sculpt as the Terminator Librarian one does?

I'm definitely planning to snag a Nightbringer shard as soon as they're back in stock on the webstore, but Void Dragon is probably going to get shoved way back down the purchase list now, and the hell with a Monolith unless I score a decent tax refund. I'd rather just grab the OG Necron box sitting on the shelf at my LGS.

This almost reads as a joke.

Hey guys, I've seen the new sanguinor model. It's painted gold and it has wings...

Eh, I could see it. If any of the non-First Founding chapters were going to get a Primaris character, the Black Templars are the most likely suspects, though I think Crimson Fists are a close second.
 
Looking through all the notable female members of the fandom- is there a single one of them who isn’t bitching about a lack of representation of women? Like I give zero shits that female Astartes will never be a thing despite being the elusive female fan because guess what? Characters in stuff I like don’t have to have a vagina for me to think they’re cool.
