Congratulations, you didn't even read the fucking codex.

Pariahs were always fucking useless and were replaced by Lychguard/praetorians, who actually have some good skills. Wraiths are still in the codex, have BETTER RULES, same with Tomb Spyders. Scarabs are now deadly.



They still revive from catastophic damage, fuckwit. Still space undead. Also cyborg robot terminator is all the same shit.


But the stupidest part is your comment about "revealing the mysteries". The thing is, all the previous Necron codex was was mysteries. They were soulless boring empty lackeys to a pair of inscrutable mysterious mary sue dickweeds who talked all ominous-like and did shit-all.

This new book didn't reveal anything, it DELETED everything. The Necrons now have personality. They have a proper backstory. They are no longer second-fiddle in the book with their own name on it. The Silent King, Trayzn the Infinite, Imotekh the Stormlord, Illuminator Szeras, Zehnandrekh and Obyron, they're all actual characters with interesting backgrounds and their own stories. They took a literal skeleton of a race and gave it some meat.

And for your information, the Tyranid codex was written by a different author, also Tyranids sold very poorly so the release of models in the codex which had proper rules was sidetracked. The codex itself really isn't bad.

Hmph.



No they fucking haven't, don't make shit up.
