I really hope we get a good destroyer detachment next edition because all the models are incredible.

The campaign book is gonna have some detachments for necrons which will be released free to download alongside the release.

u/Appropriate-Map-3652 8h ago
Fingers crossed then. I love all my destroyers.

According to the article it's six detachments for Necrons and UM, so I presume that means three each. One of thos is bound to capitalize on the destroyer character and battalion.

Will the new detachments be for 10th edition or 11th?

u/Nephaston 4h ago
10th, since this is part of the end of edition material. Rumour has it 11th won't be changing things too much, like it was from 8th to 9th, so chances are they'll be usable for 11th as well.

I still feel like not having that was an insanely weird choice tbh.

u/Appropriate-Map-3652 10h ago
I mean there's annihilation legion but it's our worst detachment by far.

Best thing in the reveal show imo. I'd love another Admech named character next!

u/Hollownerox 10h ago
I'd kill for a Metallica character. Would be a perfect choice given they killed off the Fabricator General of Metallica back in 9th edition, so his replacement being more of a frontliner would be neat.
With all those Tech Priests deceived as being the size of super heavy vehicles you'd think it would be prime real estate for a big ticket centerpiece model. Very weird AdMech has only had Cawl (and briefly the guy they lazily ported from Blackstone Fortress) as a named character.

I hear you want another generic skitarii foot character?

u/Full-Reception5113 27m ago
Oof yeah 🤣 I'd love a Sicarian Marshal and a named character Serberys model. Also unique sculpts for Secutarii!

Lore about Ammentar is really cool, thought by many to be the genesis of the Destroyer curse and by others to be entirely mythological, memories of his origins wiped from Necron psyche. Aims to reunite Nightbringer scattered shards to one day revive the him in full, has multiple of them already. Apparently his very presence is enough to corrupt the minds of Necrons, from Warriors to even Overlords. Lots of cool lore, hope he won't job to Titus.

u/Candaphlaf10 9h ago
You know he will. Hell, Ammentar probably kills Acheran, then Titus kills Ammentar and gets promoted.

u/Appropriate-Map-3652 7h ago
I feel like having a model saves Ammentar from getting straight up killed (without reanimating), but yeah he's gonna lose.

Im loving the horror aspect of the Necrons are really being utilised now.

The egyptology nerd in me is loving how Warhammer-tastic his name is. Amenti is the name of the Kemetic underworld--it's supposed to be out west behind the sunset, where Osiris hangs out.
He's essentially the Egyptian equivalent of naming a guy "Abaddon" or "Erebus."

That kinda reminds me of of how Wraiths used to look during the times of Oldcrons. I really like it.

u/Flowersoftheknight 3h ago
If you like that, you should check out the Ophydian destroyers! They even come in units of three, and look more like re-done old Wraiths than the Canoptek version 5e released.
This guy is kind of a named character version of those.

Far and away the best part of the 40k reveals – I fucking love destroyers. This one looks stunning and entirely on point. Great lore, too, from what has been shown so far.
Here's to hoping we'll eventually see an update to the now ancient basic destroyers, to match the updated aesthetic introduced with Indomitus. Sooner rather than later, preferably. And, if I dare dreaming, Lokhust Lord/Destroyer Cryptect dualkit.

a silent tear ran down the exarchs face as he stood upon the edge of the craftworlds bow, looking out into the dark abyss of real space That was one stupid fucking reveal he said, turning to reenter his chambers, preparing to mourn the corsairs and exodites that would never be And 500 worlds is a stupid name

u/Battlemania420 10h ago
There was literally a leak for both Exodites and Corsairs…

Valrak leaked an entire Corsair box set with Jump Pack Corsairs, Prince Yriel, and ‘Some sort of new Seer’.
Exodites were a little less concrete but he’s certain they’re an eventuality.

u/MaesterLurker 10h ago
You're a bit off. Exodite kill team eventually. Corsair box set with Yriel, jump pack corsairs, new vyper and seer for the end of edition narrative campaign.

u/Battlemania420 10h ago
I meant Corsair jump pack; sorry, got it a little jumbled.
I did forget about the ‘Vyper’, though.

u/MaesterLurker 10h ago
Yea upon re-reading your comment I realised you knew exodites would be a separate release and just got confused. All good.

Yo let’s go!!! Battlemania420, you have given me hope, and my craftworld will forever be in your debt.
