We've got a nice section in the Apocalypse book.

In particular, we get a description of how the Tomb World awakening process works, and a description of how the Lord command structure works.

We also get the Monolith web strategem, which everyone has read about.

Last but not least, the Pylon is finally as tough as it ought to be.

One weapon, the Gauss Annihilator.

Main firing mode, range really long, s D, AP 2.
Secondary firing mode, range 18", s6, AP 3, d6 shots per enemy unit.

Living metal + armor 14
Deep Strikes and doesn't get destroyed by enemy presence, as monolith
2 structure points

(and the important part)
Immobilized results do nothing, and although it is immobile the enemy does not receive half points.
Weapon destroyed results do -1 to the secondary fire mode, but never impair primary firing
Shaken/Stunned don't affect it

And some candy

All Necrons within 18" receive 5+ invulnerable saves

I need one of those! Or two. Can you have more than one, the Pylon?

[40kenthusiast]

Its for apocalypse, you bring as many as you own, no points or force org charts, just a big ole' battle. See the most recent WD for a 44 thousand point example.

thats awesome, i have had one but i kind of kept it in my closet ever since i played an all termie armie of spac marines.... why oh why was the pylon AP3? :-[

anyhow this is great, do you have any extra info on the tomb world stuff?

[Famine]

The tomb world stuff sounds pretty awesome, I really can't wait to play with the Phalanx, but how exactly does it work, from what i've heard it grants you at +1 to WBB...which sounds awesome beyond comprehension....

I need one for my army (shame i've only got 1000 pnts) is it the model You get from forge world

[paddyxg]

the phalanx gives +1 WBB to anyone inside it and any shots that go inside it lose -1 to their strength, also you cannot cast phycic powers on anyone inside the phalanx.

Question: not having the Apoc book, I don't know, but do they have rules in there for the Tomb Stalker? You know, that huge terrifying monstrosity they used at Games Day Baltimore? It was conversion, I know, and so like the Brass Scorpion it would have to be oncverted to be used, but... I'll do it if there are rules for it.

Also are there suggestions for converting Pylons from plastics, rather than buying the FW model?

Yes, you can purchase the Pylon from Forgeworld.

The Apoc book only has the rules for the Pylon and the Monolith Phalanx. And sweet looking special rules! ;D
