All I can say is "good god"

I just finished reading it for the first time and I am severely impressed with both the new lore, rules and models.

I hope the remakes of the Chaos Codexes are just as good

I've heard some impressive things about it. I love Necrons and theres a good chance they will be my first army when I finally get into tabletop (soon hopefully).

As much as I liked the old lore, what I have read of the new stuff adds some much needed character.

How does the new codex look unit wise? I read that they changed wraiths a good bit and added some kind of walker unit?

They're EVIL!!! Commander arcs can slice up land raiders by flying past them. EVERYTHING infantry can teleport. And for somthing thats meant to ne mechanicaly rusty, ancient, and slow theyre faster than my Blood Angels!

I agree with jc they're evil but I like them

I cant get on the Necron fan wagon. I do like the new fluff with various factions, it gives them a little of the much needed character they needed but still mostly just a machine to me. I need each model to have character or I can't get into a army.

I agree with dark, if the character doesn't come alive, its boring to me

Well then stop thinking of them as robots, the whole idea of the new necrons is that they have know all fully awoke from their slumber and they're all at full power again. So don't think of them as mindless machines think of them as an army that has a command structure and vehicles, drivers, troops and a civilisation to start rivalling other alien races. They can know talk and that gives them a personality, personally I think that even the necron warriors can talk (just an opinion)

[Darkanis]

Yeah the new fluff is great for them from what I've seen. GW had better do awesome for Chaos now.

I read that Necron Warriors are more machinelike than more advanced necrons. The only things preserved from their old personalities are things like basic survival instincts, but even that gets overridden when they are ordered to, say, march into a heavy bolter nest. That said, apparently they emit a high pitched scream when they die, so they probably could speak to some degree.
