The former mostly. They transferred their minds into metal bodies cause their old ones were all ate up with space cancer. They regretted it pretty much immediately, however, since it made the vast majority of their race into soulless automatons.

Personality. You know, the characteristic patters of thinking, feeling and behaving. The Oldcrons were defined by a lack of personality. They were literally just soulless minions of the C'tan. The only personality in the faction was the C'tan. The Necrons were secondary characters in their own fucking story.

Newcrons, while their fluff is far from perfect, at least have some sort of character. They have goals and purpose beyond being the mindless minions for the C'tan. And if you like the whole "ancient, silent undead destroyers" thing, Newcrons can do that just fine, too (see the Orphean War fluff).
>>
>>
>>55313691

I was going to reply to the stuff about personality, and make a point about how nearly all factions lack that to a large degree, then I realized from the second part of your post you haven't even read the newcron codex.

And what makes you think that? The Newcrons are driven by the pursuit of their old glory. They seek to recapture their old territories and return their empire to its former glory (and also possibly get fleshy bodies back). You've also got the various individual necrons and their own personal goals such as Trazyn's collecting, or the internal power struggles among the nobility. Whatever you may think of those goals, it still remains that Newcrons have a sense of will and self-direction that the Oldcrons never did.

The one in the picture is Xun'bakyr, the Mother of Oblivion. She's the Phaerakh of the Maynarkh dynasty, which appeared in Imperial Armor 12. Her dynasty is responsible for the complete destruction of the C'tan known as Llandu'gor, the Flayer, who cursed them with its own hunger for life. It is believed that the first Flayed Ones appeared amongst the ranks of the Maynarkh Dynasty.

Then by that effect, Iron Curtain.

2 WS-CCBs (298p), 2 tesla ABs (292p), 2 HR-Stalkers (342), 10-man Tesla Immortal Squad (170p), 10-man Warriors in an arc (290p), 20-man warrior blob (240p), cryptek (104p), 3 fabricator spyders (252p)
That puts you/him at (1988p). You can figure out something with the spare (12p).

>Strats
Front load the CCBs and Stalkers. Keep your ABs and the arc in the mid range. Chain the spyders through them. Cryptek stays with the 20-man and tries to keep up with the arc. Drop your 10-man on an objective. Every turn 12" leadership the Immortals and the 20-man.
You outrange all but the Plasma Cannon and Incinerator (idk what they are running, but I was told go ahead) where you meet those in range. ABs, 20-man, and Immortals are anti-infantry. Spyders heal 1d3 which applies after their natural heal. If they supercharge, you have a 1-in-6 to negate, but that is just a bonus.

Super Secret Tek
Replace an AB and 1 spyder with a Doom Scythe. You gain (+9p), increasing your free points to (21p). Now if they overcharge, they explode on a 1&2 to shoot the DS. DS has a similar damage template to AB, but sucks as of 8e versus other fliers or AA.

Why do you think personality is needed to like a faction? A cosmic horror faction cannot coexist with personality, because knowledge bombs mystery and thus, the fear factor.

New necrons are simply one more faction, oldcrons were an ancient cosmic horror that was awakening.

Even though you enjoy newcrons more, you cannot say that they are categorically better just because of personaity because most people that like necrons started to like them for their lack thereof.
>>

It's from a canoptek wraith. Plain as day.

Seriously. I have a friend who plays Necrons and he absolutely loves Zahndrekh.

I actually got to say, I think the Newcron characters we got are all really good, and perhaps the best cast out of any codex. They're all varied, memorable, and have good rules. The only problem is, due to being Necrons, they're not super visually distinctive from one another.

Necrons are the 40k army I stuck with the longest out of any I've played, and honestly, I never want to go back to oldcrons. It really started to wear on me just how boring they were. Yeah, mindless killbots that are just around to harvest everything in the galaxy sound cool at first, but after months and years and seeing all your friends get new and interesting lore and personalities for their army, you start to resent your army of shallow murderbots. The C'tan only existed to feel, the necrons only existed to harvest.

At the very least, you started to understand how your Necron Lord felt. Damned to lead a literally-stupid army of mono-purpose machines so some not!-gods that fucked you over can play Hungry Hungry Hippos with the souls of the dead.

So I'm not sure whether I should be insulted or flattered. I made this model, but I think I know what you are referencing by 3 years ago. I got the idea to make it after I saw an image on google a wraith tail to a cryptek. I wanted to make something similar because I really liked the idea. My brother didn't have a spare wraith tail though and I wanted a smaller one anyway. So I, as I said, made it myself. You can clearly see this is not a wraith tail.

>These have base, layering, washes, and a seal with basing. Later to quote "He plans on doing the washes and highlighting later" when it already has these features.
>The pyramid is airbrushed and, layered, washed and sealed.
You caught me there. I did layer and wash a couple places, and did bare minimum on basing. I was just providing an excuse because the model isn't painted to my standard due to the time constraint. But on the whole, most of the model isn't layered and highlighted as it should be.

And now, at the dusk of our era, Triarchy summons the High Lords and my father among them. Why? Is the Silent King going to assemble the dynasties and turn upon the Great Ones?
-I'm neither a politician, nor a philosopher, my lady. I'm a guardsman, whose purpose is to serve you and the High Lord.
-An ordinary guardsman? You are being exceedingly humble, Aurtech. I admit you should have been in command of the Spider guard long ago.
-That is not possible, lady Aeria. As long as the current commander is capable of fighting and protecting the royal family, he can't be replaced according to the Codex.
-Oh yes, the Spider Codex, how could I forget?.. Hersa. Didonne. You can leave now

So what's new for necrons over the past few years?
>>
>>55335515

Agreed, I played crons 10 years ago, all my Marine,guard,eldar playing friends had characters and culture and multi dimensional personalities.

Oldcrons were great at first, these ancient cosmic horors that wanted to enslave the Galaxy, there was alot of mystery, but after they got established the mystery faded and we were left with ...

Oldcrons would make a great antagonist in a narrative driven sci-fi property, but as a playable wargame faction, they didn't work
>>
>>55330058
- Witvach, I've felt the vibration... What's happened?
- Orks. The've blocked the exits to the surface. The warriors and wraiths tried to interfere, but the savages set off the charges. The passage caved in under hundreds of tons of rock and metal. The crypt spiders can reach the cave-in. It's too narrow for them. Warriors are at work currently, but it will take at least a cycle.
- Other exit nodes are closed by anabiosis protocols. Only our Mistress can lift them, but she's asleep... What's up with the teleportation matrix?
- Isn't ready yet. The scarabs are fixing the circuits and energy nodes
- I suppose, the Halls of Silence are the closest to the surface?
- Yes, commander, sir, that's correct.
- Send some crypt spiders with gauss drills up there. Leave a few guardsmen with the Mistress. and lead everybody else to the Halls of Silence
>>
>>55330067
- Understood. Have you come up with the new plan?
- The orks might've blocked the exits, but we are not going to sit on our hands. We'll blast ourselves a new path...

So that is all, hope it was okay

It's the same reason we have endless debates on if Chaos "really is all that evil" or Tau v. Imperium. It is in our nature to want something to grab onto. Something we can look at and understand by comparing it to ourselves. That's why humans are always the most popular race in Fantasy, followed by elves who are typically very similar in appearance.

Even if we act like we want strange, unique and original things, the reality is that we want shit that we understand. It's just in our nature.

Paranoia would be the obvious one, but maybe a tired cliche

Or you could do a Flesh Eater Courts type dilusion as in AoS. They are ghouls who still believe they are royalty and knights of the most pristine and highest order.

What others see on the outside is a clamor of blood soaked ghouls feasting on a pile of dead bodies, but what they see is a grand dinner table with their king at the end and the nobles partaking in a feast with a band playing and etiquette abound.

That's for the flesh eater courts. So a take on that could taken for Necrons. Your overlord still believes everything is pre-transformation. They are all still necrontyr before the ctan.

Generally I think it's good to pick something that suits their past life and their reaction to passing into undeath. A Necron on the cusp of obtaining a massive fortune when the Biotransferrence happened may become obsessed with expanding his material wealth despite having little need for such things, for example.

No, they don't. FW the hacks they be, choose to portry the Maynarkh invasion only from the Imperials perspective. Any Newcron invasion would look the same from the Imperial PoV.

Not entirely. Lords are said to still have their intellect, though they are "shadows of their former selves". Whatever that might mean.
Is that really any less than most other factions?

All their troops are just gits who want to fight, and their warboss is the biggest git, and he really loves fighting.
There's virtually no variation, other than what planet or fight they're looking at next.

>>55342865
well, you said that FW are hacks because they made the newcrons look like oldcrons from the perspective of the imperium. this is an argument, yes, but it seems to argue against your own point. you claim that newcrons do not have any of the horror of oldcrons to them, but then state that they appear to be oldcrons from the outside, which implies that they DO have the horror of the oldcrons due to them being indistinguishable from the heroes' perspective, and you simply dislike that they didn't do a necron PoV. which is fine, but i don't think it makes a strong case against FW's writing, since the intent was almost certainly to present an implacable foe rather than the character-based stories such as Zahndrekh's. it seems that indeed this proves that oldcron-style terror is still possible while additionally allowing character-driven stories.
>>
>>55343837
Goddamn ignorant Newcronfags are the most cancerous bunch. The Necron race was broken up to four factions each loyal to one of the C'tan gods who equally hated each other. Necron Lords are sentient, can talk, and have their own agendas based on the wider agendas of their C'tan Masters which can and have contradicted each other. It's known for the C'tan to have warred against each other so it's piss easy to have a Necrons vs Necron fight.
>>
>>55343860
>aim that newcrons do not have any of the horror of oldcrons to them, but then state that they appear to be oldcrons from the outside,

You utterly and intentionally missed the point. FW are hacks because they choose not to include a Necron PoV in their book as they do with other xenos factions. Instead of trying to write the Newcrons as horrifying in their own right, they choose to minimise the Newcron element as much as possible not showing us the cackling goofiness of the Newcrons. It's lazy. It doesn't give Maynarkh especially an Oldcron feel because it could have been done with every single dynasty. Maynarkh is not special. It's not scary. That other anon is a moron to claim otherwise.

Do that. We need people voting with their wallets so that GW can fix the Newcrons. The fucks in these threads are the reason why Necrons are being sidelined in the setting story and made into a background character. Fucking Tau are more important to the main narrative than the Necrons at this point.

For fuck sake, when they cut down the previous heavy Necron involvement in the Cadian Gate to one clown character being there just to have fun, you know that a faction was fucked up the ass. These fuckers enabled this and then act like they care about the Necrons. Disgusting.

>>55344188
>Even the lords were still slaves to the ctan with no will of their own.

They had will of their own and three of the known C'tan were MIA leaving you options to do what you desired. Also in a Kal Jericho comic featuring Necrons, it had a giant Necron lord awakening with no memory of his purpose and masters. So here is your free agency.

Ah yes, the final nail in the coffin in any discussion. Spergs allover the internet are finding the ultimate stance to take is claiming any post is 'not an argument' and it devolves from there. Enjoy your ignorant bliss, my friend. I will be taking no more part in this.

>inb4 not an argument
>>
>>55344291
I want you guys to analyse this post. He doesn't attempt to make counter points. Doesn't concede that he is wrong. It's by no means a meaningful contribution to this thread. This is not only a none argument but a shitpost.

Why does that robot have or need tits.
Christ you magical realm fags disgust me

>>55344291

Except he's right though.
And hilariously enough, you didn't bother replying to any of his argument.

>not showing us the cackling goofiness of the Newcrons

I dunno, kidnapping an Imperial governor from his highly fortified stronghold and transporting him all the way to the Maynarkh royal court then taking him back home so stealthily that nobody knew it was happening (and the governor himself thinking it was all just a nightmare) MULTIPLE TIMES just so they could fuck with him is pretty goofy.
>>
>>55344411
I already said they minimised the Newcron element.

It wasn't multiple times. Note the last line that the Necron vizier says to the governor.
>>
>>55344327
It doesn't need tits. It WANTS tits. That robot was once a living, breathing, flesh and blood organism. One with amazing, glorious, awe-inspiring tits. Men wanted to be with her and women wanted to be her (and also be with her, cause c'mon, nobody's that straight). Suitors in the hundreds brought her lavish gifts just to gain the barest glimpse of her heavenly cleavage. A nip slip could bring clashing armies to a standstill, weapons paused midswing as thousands of heads turned in unison to see a sight that would make the greatest painters throw away their brushes and canvasses knowing they could never capture even a fraction of such beauty in their art.

Robbed of that which she once held dearer than any treasure, she ordered the greatest craftsmen and crypteks to modify her body in an attempt to regain what she had lost. Alas, no amount of metal, no matter how finely crafted, could ever match the beauty of her fleshy funbags.

>>55344541
Except for the fact that the Necrontyr skin as shown in the World Engine novel is gray and ravaged by tumours. Nobody would be proud of cancer tits. Necrontyr females would most likely remove them to avoid death.
>>
>>55344599
Nah, her tits were perfect and unblemished. Why do you think she was so proud of them. The fact that they weren't all ate up with space cancer made them even more spectacular.

You should work for BL at this rate anon.
>>
>>55344353
not him but maybe its because theres no point. i dont blame him, as soon as someone drops the not an argument then it becomes a stupid argument of opinions. ive been observing the oldcron vs newcron shit thats been going on here, and for the most part its dumb to get involved
>>
>>55344730
You are him. The same line of stupidity. He said something. He was corrected. He choose to not strike back in the argument or concede. He made a non-argument.
>>
>>55344759
youre an idiot. and no, that's not meant to be an argument. just an observation
>>
>>55344759
>>55344784
Ladies, please, you're both pretty.
>>
>>55344784
And you can't read. I didn't say you made an non-argument. People who can't read English should get off 4chan.
>>
>>55344541
probably shouldn't have made them out of metal. I consider myself something of a self trained expert on the subject, and metal just does really not seem like the best medium here.

From a crunch perspective the C'tan being shattered makes sense.

Because having something that can eat stars as a unit that could in 7th.edition be killed by bolters makes little sense.


Fluff-wise there isn't any rule that says you can't have your dynasty serve the C'tan.


In fact the C'tan >or at least The Nightbringer
is/are characters.
>Pic very unrelated
>>
>>55344960
>Fluff-wise there isn't any rule that says you can't have your dynasty serve the C'tan.

There is. C'tan shards are retarded and Anti-C'tan protocols.
>>
But in the end i>>55345020
t doesn't matter if Necrons have Pariahs or Lychguard, if they're Tomb Kings or Terminators, if they serve the C'Tan or enslave them, if they want to "become flesh again" or just harvest delicious souls. As long as the means to their ends involves the systematic annihilation of everyone else, it's Necron enough for me
>>
>>55345020
>But there is
Wrong.
There are numerous shards that have escaped captivity and are freely fucking things up, some of which do control their own armies of enslaved Necrons or Necrons damaged by the great sleep to forget their enmity with the C'tan.

>Shards are retarded
Shards are the only reasonable way to field C'tan as units on the tabletop without them having stats that table everyone turn 1.

You're just making excuses like a retard.
>>
>>55345970
>There are numerous shards that have escaped captivity and are freely fucking things up,

The text describe them as mindless and incomplete in mind.

>some of which do control their own armies of enslaved Necrons or Necrons damaged by the great sleep to forget their enmity with the C'tan.

Cite examples I dare you.

>Shards are the only reasonable way to field C'tan as units on the tabletop without them having stats that table everyone turn 1.

That's irrelevant to my post.

>You're just making excuses like a retard.

You are a triggered bitch.
>>
>>55346096
>The text describe them as mindless and incomplete in mind.

Some shards explicitly retain some measure of the memories and/or personality of their original self. That's the whole fluff behind the Nightbringer and Deceiver shards being their own thing as opposed to generic shards.
>>
>>55346250
>That's the whole fluff behind the Nightbringer and Deceiver shards being their own thing as opposed to generic shards.

The only reason NB and GD have their own stats is because they have models. There is no fluff that says they are special in any regard to the other shards except one of them being the most violent and the other most devious.
>>
>>55346286
>While no C'tan Shard has full recall of the omnipotent creature it once was, each carries the personality and hubris of that far vaster and more puissant being.

That's straight from the GW online store product description, no less.
>>
>>55346286
It was a free shard of the Deciever that helped Abby-Dabby-Doo get his hands on the Blackstone fortresses.
There was also a free (possibly the same) Deciever shard acting as a planetary governor.
>>
>>55346286
Furthermore the Transcendent C'tan shard of the Burning One that appeared in Sield of Baal back when Transcendent shards were a combination of between 12 to 100s shards was a mindless thing. Anrakyr had to use a special device in order to focus its shattered mind.

When the C'tan reached the Necron station it could not take control of the station because as the text said it was but a small shard of a greater mind and thus improvising and problem solving was beyond its ability.
>>
>>55346339
Don't use Oldcron lore at me.

>>55346328
See >>55346355

Still a mindless creature.
>>
>>55346373
I don't think you understand what mindless means. They're severely diminished, but they're far from mindless.

PROOFS.

>The Burning One had corrected the Magnovitrium’s decaying orbit, and augmented the mighty device with a portion of its own godly power. Yet the C’tan Shard was but a single sliver of a once-great mind. It could follow its master’s orders, could even pour its own might into the Magnovitrium’s blast once it was triggered. It could not, however, subvert the device’s failsafes or override its firing protocols – such improvisation was simply beyond the god-shard’s ability to conceive. And so it hung in space, poised on the cusp of victory, yet unable to seize it.

-Shield of Baal

>912.M41 THE GOD SHADOW
>A shard of the Void Dragon escapes from its imprisonment, laying waste to the Arotepk Dynasty in its mindless rage. Though only a faint shadow of a true C’tan, the Void Dragon gorges itself on a dozen worlds, expending its fury upon the living before the Arotepk Crypteks can finally force it back into its cage.
>>
>>55346373
That "Oldcron" lore is still accurate according to GW as of Battlefleet Gothic's vidya release, so it's just as valid now as ever.
>>
>>55346401
You don't understand that there are proofs. See >>55346407

They have a spark of the personality of their former selves that colour how they mindlessly rage around.
>>
>>55346410
No, vidya games are not canon until GW says otherwise. The game is loosely based on 4th ED version of the Gothic War and breaks the canon in serveral areas.

Furthermore, the Deceiver in the old lore wanted the BSF removed because they were the only weapons capable of harming a C'tan. This is no longer valid since the Newcrons now have a vast arsenal that defeated and killed C'tan.

I need conversion inspiration to vary up some of my warriors. post conversions.

>>55335725
I wouldnt say they are as good as they were last edition. Theyve got 3 wounds each, hiting on 3s with a 3+ armor and invo but the damage output isnt too good compared to everything else this edition. The best melee weapons you could give them are whipcoils that let them attack in the fight phase even if they die bu will only inflict 1dmg per wound. You might be better off with triarch pretorians if you're looking for something thats fast and not too bad in combat since their weapons are str 5 ap-3 dmg 1 in shooting and melee and move 10 inches a turn

Just a note about whipcoils, they are a weapon, not a weapon replacement.
So you can take them and still attack with the regular Vicious Claws. Always take whipcoils if fighting a close combat focused army.
If you're dealing with a squishier army, take the particle casters instead so you can shoot your opponent during the shooting phase while still locked in combat.

On Praetorians, ALWAYS take voidblades and casters.
You get +1 attacks and a shooting attack while in combat.
The ONLY reason to take Rods of Covenant is if you want to pose a threat to light vehicles, otherwise the loss in CC with infantry isn't worth the points.

I don't have a conversion officially per se, but I really want to get a hold of the head from pic related for my Appointed Immortal's head in SWA, since I gotta do -something- to make it stand apart from the other Immortals since it's virtually identical in every other conceivable way.

What do you mean? More models? Us?! I don't think so. We need them too much.
