That is what 40k is now. This is what it used to be.

I ride in on my Bike with my Hat of awesome and say Nay this place should be on fire.

Well THAT can't happen!


I haven't so much as flipped through the Necron book.  Do they really fight together (like, more than bashing on a common enemy)?

The Goss Marines just want breakfast, if you like breakfast, and you want waffles instead of toast, we can be friends.

Chase, take my gamer's edition reserve and boost it with some templates, a tape measure and some cards.  I really want the collectors edition, but I can't get it right now.  I'll probably have to get it on the secondary market... the almighty ebay.  I'm really hoping I'll be at Plainville for the launch day, but I can't grantee that.  I will be within the next couple of days though, Thursday at the latest.

Chase the answer to your question is NO.  It was a blurb in the codex that had them fight a common foe but by al lmeans would never happen on the regular.

They are BFFs.

We will know for sure when the big book is released and BA and Necrons can be allies.

Necrons are probably the most ordered force in 40k. What do they want. Everyone dead seems pretty order based.

That's right -- just ask yourself: why are Blood Angels so long lived?!

By that logic, so are the tyranids! Consume all biomass and structure it appropriately.

I remember a little thing in a grey knight book where they teamed up with eldar to fight some battle...

That being said i imagine all the space marines and IG will be sitting at the cool lunch table, a couple xenos at another another, and tyranids sitting by themselves in a corner

If this is any indicator then this is what the allies matrix will look like. Chaos players will be very happy. Looks like if Blood Angels ally with Necrons then it could be very risky lol. Its the last page of the pdf.

Brothers in Arms Benefit – One non-vehicle unit per
Force can select one universal special rule from the list
below; this rule cannot be taken on a unit that already
has it and must be written on the army list for the unit
prior to the event.
• Counter-Attack
• Move Through Cover
• Night Vision / Acute Senses
•  Preferred Enemy (must select a codex to be a preferred
enemy prior to the event and write it on the army list
next to the relevant unit)
• Skilled Rider
• Stealth
• Stubborn

Quote
Unholy Alliance Penalty – At the start of the first game
turn the Army with the Unholy Alliance rolls a D6 for
each of their units. On the roll of a 1, the unit is shaken
by the presence of their ‘allies’. Non-Vehicle units count
as going to ground and vehicles count as Crew Shaken.
(Note: this still applies if the vehicle could not normally
be shaken)

i wonder if these are going to be in the 6th ed rules or if these are special just for this event in the PDF

interesting
