![Great NEW Commander For Warcrow? Hegemony Mounted Hetman Review | Corvus Belli [7 Days Early Access]](https://images.beastsofwar.com/2025/12/unboxing-corvus-belli-warcrow-hegemony-mounted-hetman-coverimage-225-127.jpg)
New Update on May 5th Necron Release
April 20, 2012 by crew
Further to the news of the new Necron release due out on May 5th 2012, we have some new details on box contents and some Finecast Space Marines due out at the same time.
Here's the updated list:
- Triarch Stalker - Full Plastic Kit (1 per box)
- Tomb Blade - Full Plastic Kit (3 per box)
- Canoptek Wraith - Full Plastic Kit (3 per box)
- Canoptek Spyder - Full Plastic Kit (1 per box)
- Nemesor Zahndrekh - Finecast
- Vargard Obyron - Finecast
- Illuminor Szeras - Finecast
- Destroyer Lord Upgrade Pack - Finecast Bits
- Heavy Destroyer Upgrade Pack - Finecast Bits
If you're a Vanilla Space Marine player, then you might be interested in the Finecast release of the Legion of the Damned models, plus a Finecast version of Chief Librarian Tigarius... although if you're not a Marine player... you probably don't care.
UPDATE: So Images have started to break on the forums here's the scoop on Warseer.
Loving the Stalker and the Spyders are awesome!
What do you guys think?

any news on DE voidraven bomber?
Or the Tomb Kings 2nd wave 🙁
What’re Tomb Kings waiting for? Haven’t they got everything from their lists?
We was ment to be getting a new bone giant and new plastic skeles to bring them up to date with the other range of skeletons. and iirc a couple of the names heroes.
You weren’t “meant” to get new plastic skeletons lmao.
But clearly a new plastic duel kit undead “giant” is being worked on, and will arrive at some point, probably Christmas.
GW are trying their best to move their entire range to plastic. If you have a plastic kit already, you won’t be getting a new one … until every army has moved to plastic.
Actually poosh we were, GW even said they was in the process of updating the TK skele’s since the current models are dated compared to the rest of the range.
So ‘lmao’ to you yoo.
GW say a lot of things, but I don’t recall them saying that. But given that it costs some £60,000 to made a plastic infantry box set I’m fairly sure they weren’t going to bother updating perfectly fine Plastic Tomb Kings – I’d bet anything they haven’t even broken even at the new Vampire Counts skeletons (as nice as they are).
You weren’t “meant” to get new skeletons and it would be an undeserved treat. GW have been, for quite a while, attempting to move their entire range of fantasy models to plastic. Vampire Counts being the only exception with their Pirates of the Caribbean skeletons. So no, you weren’t “meant” to get new plastic skeletons and a Tomb King second wave would not consist of much at all, you might not even consider it a “Wave”.
Dwarves, Brets, Wood Elves, Dark Elves are far more deserving. If there is one army that will get it’s core plastic troops remade it will be Lizardmen.
…it costs some £60,000 to made a plastic infantry box set…
Lol. What the hell are you smoking?
No need to be smoking anything, if anything 60K is conservative :
“From inception to production, creating a new scale model kit can take a full year and cost the manufacturer an investment of up to $US250,000. ”
http://www.madehow.com/Volume-6/Toy-Model-Kit.html#ixzz1sFlDZ8yh
The cutting of a die alone costs a fortune!
Why do you think GW is so keen on Finecast
First of all, the article you were so gracious to provide is from 2001 and is seriously out of date. Secondly, my father was a tool and die maker and did molds and stuff like this all the time. Thirdly, the process for Finecast isn’t a heck of a lot different from doing pewter miniatures. The reason they are so keen on Finecast is because the price of metal keeps going up. Do you see them dropping plastic kits in favor of Finecast?
A finished sprue costs pennies to make. Granted, that doesn’t consider the costs of tooling and the time it takes for the digital sculpts. In today’s world, you are looking at $10K tops and that is using all of the best materials (which I hear GW does). How do you think companies like Mantic Games, Defiance Games, and Wargames Factory make any money? Do you think molds for any of the board games that Fantasy Flight Games makes cost that much? Sorry dude, but you are grossly misinformed.
The idea that it costs $10,000 (£6,000 roughly) tops is pure BS. That is about the CHEAPEST to make.
Even Matt from miniwargaming said that $40,000 is not enough to start his own plastics, and a single mold, according to his research, cost between $20,000 to $50,000, that’s a single mold (as opposed to the standard 2 that GW put in a infantry kit).
You’re plane out wrong. Why do you think Mantic keep reusing parts of the sprue etc? Because it costs so much. Why do you think Avatars of War have only produced 1 plastic kits so far? And a second on the way.
http://www.fightingtigersofveda.com/roarseconomics.html
You’re just wrong and there’s no point arguing. People are free to do their own research.
@poosh You’re right. I lowballed it a bit. I got quotes between $15K and $40K. In any case, that’s far below the ridiculous prices that other people have quoted on here which was what I was disputing. $30K for a single kit is half of what you yourself quoted and that would be for 2 sprues. The way manufacturing processes work and the advancement with CAD and CNC machines, I won’t even look at an article that’s 5 years old. Your article was written in 2006.
Sounds a bit hit and miss to me, Glad to see the Triarch Stalker – I need one of those. The tomb blades, wraith and spyder arent going to be squads though, or is that a typo? well, as long as they are plastic I guess. I guess my troops will have to wait to get their Night Scythe too – ill just tell them to catch the f’ing bus instead, afterall it’s how I have to travel so why should my necrons get to have their own damn flyers?
I hope my sources haven’t failed me otherwise i’ll get beat up by everyone on Beasts War 🙁
not everyone on BoW … just those of us going to salute 😉
Hey, Beasts Wars was AWESOME!
(Maximals rule!)
;P
*Beasts of War
Hopefully some of those will be plastic kits instead of failcast. Of course independent characters will be most likely failcast but rest should be plastic.
I guess John Blanche was busy…
ooh szeras is coming eh? wonder how it’ll compare to my homemade szeras…
YES! i can complete my scarab farm list with spyders!!! 😀
pretty much confirms what previous rumours said, but to hear extra confirmation gets me extremely excited – i am lucky as its just been my birthday so gonna save plenty of that for this release!
Five months after, the new wave come… Dark Eldars were more fast for their second waves… Is that this is due to their very bad initiative that the Necrons have their second wave out so late?
tyranids should all be initiative one by this logic 😀
*Sigh! And this is the reason it is so hard for me to get into 40k. So many cool armies, so little time and money.
Oh great just what I need, more cool Necron killy things. !
No night/doom scythe?????
Most likely coming with the other flyer releases in the rumoure ‘autumn of flyers’ I guess.
so all we will be missing is the doom scythe/ night scythe orikan the diviner and anakyr the traveller
well the 2 named characters are rubbish anyway but I WANT MY DOOM SCYTHE
that drawing could easily be a fake
Can’t GW ever just do a release of updated models and such without having a theme for it? Because by there logic chaos mortals will forever be doomed with the chariot with the REAL OLD hunchback riders. I just don’t get it. In any case this will be a welcome release for Necron players.
BTW if the doom/night scythe is slotted for an all flyer month, what else could be released? IG vendetta upgrade kit, DE voidraven bomber and a bunch of new add on to all the other lists?
Havent they already updated them?
Maybe the guard or marines need updating, or possibly even the tau or eldar.
I sort of see what you mean, Necrons already had metal Wraiths and metal Spider, so technically didn’t need an update. However GW are constantly pushing plastic over metal when possible.
Fairly sure Tau and Eldar need updating more than IG and Marines though… then again I rarely seen anyone play a regular Marine army 🙁
nice love the new minis coming out (just not a fan of the prices) what happened to they painting contests you were hosting ? will they be continuing ?
Get ready to spend ALL the money!
…
except for the Scythes.
D:
For the Destroyer Lord, Will it be a Hybrid kit with finecast and Plastic? Like the old one was metal and plastic.
as long as it lets me convert a Destroyer Lord into something that DOESN’T include that stupid beetle ass, I’m sold~
Well this explains why it has taken my LGS more then 2 months to get my heavy destroyers in. I dont know If I like the idea of upgrade kits for things as minor as an extra weapon, it just feels like another way for GW to squeeze money out of you. Necjon it will probably be plastic since nothing about the kit would make it difficult to do so. I am excited about canoptek spiders thou, i can finally stop borrowing my buddies metal ones.
The question is, will these Necrons be released along normal pricing (in which case, buy buy buy before GW’s lovely annual price hike/kick in the teeth) / or will they be released along “anticipatory” pricing.
The only thing holding off on the Scythes will accomplish is annoying their fan base yet again…
I have lost all faith in GW – Instead Ill continue to send my $$ to Privateer Press…
Isnt they new edition of 40k coming out?
Anyway, i think new eldar could be cool.
Why necrons?
All they do is go around OP powered reviving themselves!!!
…
I’m assuming you’re not familar with the new Necron, then?
Are they *really* overpowered? They suck in combat, haven’t got the fluidity of other units, defo haven’t got the speed. None of their heavy support or weapon platforms are stupidly awesome. No uber troops, rapid fire weapons for the most part.
Looks like a political cartoon. I feel like the Necron guy should be wearing the label of some political party, and in front of him should be an Ork labeled with the name of some law people are bickering about or something.
well someone said they had metal models so dont deserve this but those were discontinued so we do actually
to praxor
oyu know the price of reanimation protocol is taken into acount when deciding on units cost right? or are you just annoyed that you cant win a game so are blaming it on OP codexes?
Much sodium needed as per usual but i’ll believe it when i see it in white dwarf.
No scythes? NO SCYTHES!
Y U NO HAVE SCYTHES!
These rumours are true although not all of that is likely to come out next month. However, our spies have infiltrated the Nottingham warehouses at Warhammer World and we can guarantee the release of all new plastic NECRON DOOMSCYTHES AND WRAITHS NEXT MONTH!! Also we have seen what seems to be a mysterious new ork plastic flyer/skimmer! – check us out for constant updates on genuine leaks! No rumours, just straight up information circling the GW company itself!! https://www.facebook.com/AdeptusMinatures
Check out the original source of the leaked necrons! We are BOW’s source. Like us at https://www.facebook.com/AdeptusMinatures
Here you can find photos of all new upcoming forgeworld models, plastic thunderhawk guides, and upcoming leaks and rumours from all three games!
@adeptusminiatures – We take the privatcy of our sources very seriously and can publically confirm that you are NOT our source for any of our Games Workshop related news.
You’re posts here have rapidly crossed the line between conversation and spam. We try to operate a more relaxed environment where other blogs, forums and Facebook pages can link to themselves as part of the conversation – A policy that is rare in a very insular industry.
However, there are limits.
Your account has been suspended until the BoW Team arrive back from Salute.
So its pure coincidence then as we reveal how many units you contain in each box you suddenly update your post?
Our posts are not intended in any way shape or form as spam. We are a new company that operates purely on the information we receive and aim to share it widely within the Gamesworkshop community. We ourselves do not entice spam of any sort and try to deter our fans from doing so.
Unfortunately I did notice that two of our representatives had posted onto this topic in quick succession being unaware of the previous post sent by ourselves and were therefore unable to remove it. Apologies for this.
In regards to our account. Nothing has changed.
If I may hop in here…
There are a couple of issues here:
1) Claiming to be a source of BoW is strictly a no no and is incredibly naive, if you get some tidbits of information I suggest you deliver it, talk about it and enjoy the ride, but you need to understand that people have been getting info on upcoming releases from GW for a very long time, long before we were on the scene too. Try to respect the fact that there are many channels for all this stuff, and there are trusted channels, and its those channels that will ultimately effect the release and dialogue of information on sites like this and others. You can become one but that will take accurate info and time (you need to be accurate often 🙂 !)
Your posts may not intend to be spammy but they are, so time to rethink your approach there I suggest, if you want to dialogue with the existing communities out there, you need to be a little softer and have a dialogue. Both here and on the facebook page you have posted an ‘advert’ more than once. And I’m pretty sure this is not the only place your doing it.
So kindly ask your ‘representatives’ to tone it down just a touch 😉
We’re an open community here enjoying the hobby, you can add to that and be very welcome.
So take your time, chill and see if you take your place among the best, other than that we will see if your ‘Guarantee’ of the DoomSythes comes up trumps, we haven’t seen anything to suggest it will, so that right there is your big test, and I’m rooting for ya mate that you have scooped that!
Hello Warzan,
You may have noticed this conversation was supposed to be between ourselves and Lloyd. We do enjoy all feedback and your comments have been noted. However there is a fine line between giving feedback and telling us how to run our organisation.
As we have said, we are aware that our posts seemed ‘spammy’ hence the apology so thank you for pointing out the obvious in our previous post.
As for your comments about us posting elsewhere. These are entirely false and are simply users from other forums sharing with each other their information and source and is in no way controlled of moderated by us.
But thank you for your comments and we will indeed see if the Doomscythe is released in the next few months because I am sure there will be some very happy necron players.
@adeptusminiatures
“You may have noticed this conversation was supposed to be between ourselves and Lloyd. We do enjoy all feedback and your comments have been noted. However there is a fine line between giving feedback and telling us how to run our organisation.”
This has to be one of the most amazing comments ever posted on this site lol
(I’ll forgo the whole ‘do you know who I am’ because I’m enjoying the moment a bit too much 😉 however I think you might find my ‘credentials’ do qualify me for handing out the odd tiny bit of advice 😉
Dear, adeptusminiatures
What yo mean “seemed spammy” bro? you posted the exact same text THREE times on THREE separate topics! Son of a squid!
Also BoW’s opinion of the matter seems to imply the rumored “season off fliers” – some idiotic 40K equivalent of the failed Storm of Magic – which one presumes will come AFTER the 6th edition is released. Your spies may well have seen the Doom Scythes (/ Night Scythe) all snug and in their boxes, that doesn’t mean it’s being released any time soon. GW are happy to sit on kits for months even close to a year, waiting for the agreed time to release the item. And GW are happy to suddenly throw away a plastic kit that has yet to be released (from what I’ve heard), or at least sit on it indefinitely.
AVENGERS ASSEMBLE! < not spam
Excited for Zahndrek and Obyron, but I’m sad about the whole no Night/Doom scythe thing.
This whole argument between the guys above and adeptus is ridiculous. It just makes open forums like this hell for the genuine fans.
I can understand where the Bow guys are coming from but is there any need to bully what is clearly a new group attempting to bring the fans a similar experience! Your on the same side – jeezz!
Adeptus should stop being so aggressive when it comes to putting forward their ideas and the other guys should stop being so aggravating when the converse! Advise them instead of being cocky and rude!
Beasts of war is awesome! Adeptus Miniatures new page is looking pretty damn good too so just keep the peace people!
Sam, we actually have you listed as the registrant of the account @adeptusminiatures too mate. In a nutshell I agree with you, however setting up a sock puppet account is really not nessesary mate (veterangamer is a classic choice of username too btw, and is again a bit spammy!) so pick one and stick to it please matey it makes life easier for all of us 🙂
My apologies if you think I’m being rude or cocky, I suppose being told to ‘butt out’ caught me by surprise a little bit 😉
Your welcome to post here, just get involved and keep involved 🙂 there is no question of sides but if you are just posting ads repeatedly then that’s just filling the system with junk and we’ll have to act.
It’s good to meet you, looking forward to hearing about your White Scars information for next Month 😉 and lets hope those Doomsythes make an appearance, I would reckon we should know within hours based on previous experience, exciting times!
Yes well noticed! But you’ve failed to see that this is my personal account. Not some form of secondary or ‘sock puppet’ account.
Adeptus Miniatures is owned by a collection of wargaming enthusiasts and the profile was set up in my name. The group is created by fans for the fans. Unlike you we don’t get paid for our work and is totally voluntary. We currently don’t take any form of salary or payment for the service we provide. We do this in our spare time because we are passionate about what we do and providing the fans out there with exciting topics to discuss and view. Unlike you anybody can join us and help expand our growing community. We are here because we love what we do and most importantly, the hobby.
Apology accepted. What could have been polite nudges in the right direction came across as sarcastic, cocky, unnecessary comments.
As for the ‘ads’. They were never meant to come across as being spam or anything else for that matter. Its difficult to moderate exactly what we post on here when everybody has access to the adeptus user hence the build up in postings. Ive now ensured people know what to post and not to post whilst using our user to prevent the same thing happening again.
Come on, man, just stop already. This isn’t helping anything.
:/
Feel free to drop me a PM btw if you want to chat about this rather than us polluting the fun for Necron lovers here.
(* I use the term Necron Lovers in a good way 😉 so relax guys. However if GW release an Army of inflatables I will need to rethink the phrase!)
As an addition to this … Finecast’s coming, as one infers from the website:
Thundercannon
Crimson Fists Pedro Kantor
Kayvaan Shrike, Captain of the Raven Guard
NOTE: Metal, classic, “Dark Angel Deathwing Terminators” are gone as well. Finecasted? Or a new plastic kit?
That Triarch Stalker looks really bad, seriously! It can’t be an actual source image at all. It looks like a badly sketched image of the artwork from the codex, and it lacks the Necron insignia too!
It’s not from Nottingham, its a sketch of the model as seen. 🙂
Why not just upload the image of the model then rather than this ‘sketch’?
We don’t have an image of the model.
In the Codex?
Nope, real life.
How come ‘your’ source did not take a picture of it instead? Or at least upload the image he/she sketched from? Would be far more reliable!
Trust me it’s reliable 😉
(I sound like a pimp lol!)
colstraken who joined BoW 1 hour, 2 minutes ago today, do you expect all GW sources to be kitted out with 007 spy gear or something?
@poosh
So what if i joined today or 3 years ago! I was curious to know if there was any other proof because a lot of people are talking about the rumoured release.
Btw I’ve noticed you’ve interrupted into multiple conversations today so please in future, instead of being a brown nose to warzan, keep your negative comments to yourself.
Thank You
The Wargaming Community
love all the new kits, really happy veteran necron fan here.
Triarch Stalker looks how I imagined, love it. I get a bit of a 1950’s retro feel from it which I appreciate.
Wraiths – bit more cyber-cthulhu with those robot-tentacles and eyes and orbs. Not sure if I prefer these to the old ones or not tbh, I think I like both the same – but ill definitly be buying 1 or 6 boxes 😉
Canoptek Spyder – major improvement over the old one. Like many of the little touches like the scarabs.
Tomb Blades – didnt think id like these to be honest! but they have a weird “pod” look to them which is cool. Techno-Eldritch cyber pods of doom. Neat.
Characters – love the illumintor szeras guy. The eldar head is a nice touch too.
Overall : happy! and my god I can wait for the fliers as ill have plenty to paint up in the mean time!!!!
they look so cool cant wait to spend some £££ on them and increase my army of mass destruction and reanimation..
AAAAAHHHHH!!!!
THESE ARE AWESOME!!!
YOU ARE AWESOME!!!!
OBYRON IS SUPER AWESOME!!!!!
…
AWWWESOMMMME!!!!1!
(I just wish the price hadn’t been cut off in a couple of those shots)
oop, never mind.
Prices, fresh from trade sales:
Product Name USD
Necron Triarch Stalker $47.00
Necron Tomb Blades $41.25
Necron Canoptek Wraiths $47.00
Necron Canoptek Spyder $33.00
Nemesor Zahndrekh $19.25
Vargard Obyron $16.00
Illuminor Szeras $21.50
Necron Destroyer Lord Upgrade Pack $10.00
Necron Heavy Destroyer Upgrade Pack $8.25
I can’t say that I’m impressed with the heavy destroyer upgrade pack ” with space to fit two green rods found in the destroyer kit”. They seriously couldn’t be bothered to include those in that kit??
That being said, I absolutely ADORE the new plastic kits. Maybe even the tomb blades.
im exited, im getting vargaurd obyron and nemmesor zandrek soon
