warhammer 40k necron 8th edition rules pdf

They were a fairly dominant race, and had a galaxy spanning empire. They were once the Necrontyr, an organic race cursed with short lifespans and cancerous maladies due to their dying star. The Necrons were't always the Necrons though. This was major event in the history of 40k where the Necrons and the C'tan fought the Old Ones and their various vassal races, such as the Eldar. We start off with a brief overview of their history and the War in Heaven. After I started painting my Indomitus models I purposefully avoided reading any lore online as well because I wanted to experience it as presented in their new Codex first. I knew the broad strokes of this but haven't really read any of the new lore. They basically got a total revamp with their 5th edition book. Since then, the lore has changed dramatically. The last Necron Codex I owned was their first entry from 3rd edition. It's a cool little bit of in-universe lore that plays upon the way the rest of the Codex is presented as well. A detail that's missed in a lot of the promo photos is that above the box that contains the word 'Codex' is a little Inquisitorial reference number. I also really dig the minimalist approach to the title. I liked the more highly rendered style of past covers too, but this one hits all the right buttons as well. You can feel the hand of the artist more. Not sketchier exactly, but definitely more fluid. The style does feel a little looser to me. It feels more like a painting of antiquity besides, it also echoes the 40k ethos of more is more. A hallmark of classic 40k images is the gothic vibe, which the larger battle scenes more accurately depict. They still have a central figure, or figures, to anchor the composition, but it's more visually interesting to me and also reinforces the gothic feel of 40k. I really like the battle scene look over the single figure personally. We've moved away from the highly rendered, single figures of most of the 6th - 8th edition Codexes, and have plunged back into the hectic battle scenes of yore. It's very clean and modern, without being overly so like how 7th edition stuff felt to me. I really, really like the new design aesthetic that GW is going with for 9th edition 40k. As with all of my reviews, let's start with the cover.
