Not officially (yet) but the Beasts of War website has managed to obtain sneak previews.

I know it's not technically a 40kRPG issue yet, but presumably it will have a bearing in due course...

Thanks for posting this, regardless of relevancy, I've been looking out for a Necron update for some time, only interesting army in the game right now in my opinion.

It seems the Necrons are indeed becoming Tomb Kings in Space . Personally, I find this idea awesome and made of win.

I'd kill for a playable Necron career for Rogue Trader.

They've been talking about it on /tg/ for a day or two now.

Apparently there's all sorts of awesomeness. One of the Necron Lords, for instance, believes he's still got flesh. He fights with honor and chivalry, so he's like Necron Don Quixote. Or something.

That notion amuses me more than it should.

the tomb kings of khemri have been a facet of warhammer before necrons were officialy unveiled just they never had a seperate army book till they split undead into vamps and mumies

Or models, or a look, or existence other than as a back mention for nagash and some history until late 5th early 6th

Essentially Tomb Kings were ancient egypt in the warhammer world and undead, while Necrons were undead in the 40kverse and egyptianish looking. Also, it is alot easier to have them be similiar for the sculptors sake I would think. If someone is good at one, they are probably good at the other.

Necron snipers... my PC's are just going to LOOOOVE that idea.
