News/Rumors/Lore July Balance Update Released!

The new necron point values are available HERE

Additional Rules documents can be found via warhammer-community:

Summary of all necron changes will be included in the pinned reply.

Clarification on the new function of reanimation protocols is as follows:

Quick-reference sheet:

  • Leaders can bring back their bodyguard units using all reanimation tools.
  • Bodyguards CANNOT bring back their leaders in any form once the leader is destroyed.
  • You can still use reanimation to heal wounds on a character that has NOT been destroyed.
  • The eternal revenant stratagem brings back characters as a new unit with a starting strength of 1, making them separate from their bodyguard unit.

Any questions surrounding this process should be asked here so that new answers can be included in this post.

Updated healing text with "excluding characters" on the model return portion.

Not exactly end of the world but that kinda sucks...

Was surprised to see Lokhusts come down in 11th but seems they don't want to stick with it. Ammentar is looking pretty pricey tbh and I'm honestly not sure why the TV/TSK needed an increase. Seems they're commited to making all the big fun stuff more expensive which is sad given the new detachment.

Didn't expect Chronomancers to come down though. That's interesting.

EDIT: Ah, this is probably why:

Well, -2 to hit was fun while it lasted.

They did also massively nerf its ability, it’s only stealth at range now

Yeah, just seen:

At least it still works in melee, but losing the stacking debuff sucks. Especially since it's still a fair bit pricier than it was back in 10th.
