I'm in for eight; theory listing today so may need to order a couple more...
I presume Epic.Fr and other places know about this? Time to send an emmisary?

I paid for my ten, but that was a while ago. Fingers crossed here!

Far out this had better go through. I should like to exchange some of my money for some of their product, I don't know of any other business that makes the process so convoluted.

That is some more of my money as I have already dropped off nine bucks.

Just (e)talked to ScReAM ... France has been previously informed. And he pre-ordered some too ...  So we are covered on that Front. But he said, many didn't like the Deathbots designs, so didn't order ...  :sigh: :heart-break:

I flat out dislike several of the deisgns (I think the lord looks too mecha and is badly posed, don't like the weapon on the advanced or their pose either, dislike the maintenance bot, hate the tail on the serpentine, and I'm not fond of the turrets for the skimmers), but I think the rest have enough potential or the problems with the other can be fixed with some simple conversion that it outweighs the stuff I don't like. I am curious as to where the preorder stands right now.

Yes, need to know where we stand ... need a body count. Also what's the status of Germany, Denmark, Oz, etc. ?  :rock:  I think the US, UK and Canucks are well represented. And we know France's situation ....  :blues:

I'm sorry to say that I won't be ordering any of these. I know there's a high demand for good Necron proxies, and plastic models would certainly be a great asset, if for no other reason then just to show that it can be done.

With all due respect to DRM and John Bear Ross respectively but neither of these miniatures are better Necron proxies than the plastic Orks I've seen used. I think people are too easily persuaded by the label "Android", "Robot" etc, and a coat of silver paint to actually look at the models themselves! Both these and the DRM desigs could just as well be Space Marine proxies if you painted them in other colors. I still can't understand why people insisted they wanted "Androids" instead of skeletons with guns. GW cannot claim IP on human anatomy (though they might just be stupid enough to try) and if some colorblind wargamer paints his skeletons silver instead of bone color then that's could hardly be called a case of IP infringement.

I do however very much like the serpentine robots on the spure and I'm sure all the models will make a great looking army once painted. But Necron proxies: Not in my book :) Personally I've been thinking of using Andrayada as Eldar proxies which always seemed much more logical rather than Necrons to me, but again each to their own :)

Well the closest thing to "Necrons", were some greens that E&C posted pics of ...  But there are a number of considerations with those ...   :rock:

Don't get me wrong L4. I'm sure there's lots of people that'll be perfectly happy with these and we definitely need some good Necron proxies. They just don't quite do it for me personally :)

I still can't understand why people insisted they wanted "Androids" instead of skeletons with guns.

Agreed, that was my suggestion too.

Not to sound snarky, but not everyone wants Necron proxies.
