There will be a plastic Cryptek along with a new Destroyer Lord. That is all I am aware of for Necrons at this time. Don’t count on too many new units until the ranges are fully converted to plastic.
Now compare this with word from a couple days back:
via Darnok 12-23-2014
Necrons will hit on the 31th of January (so advance orders are up on the previous Friday, the 23rd). Codex, clampack character, and an army box – the latter probably a bit after the book/character.
CHAOS RUMORS
Some Chaos Marines tidbits are out and about. Strange rumors always happen when folks settle down during the holidays.
via Nostromodamus on 12-27-2014
One project that is more on the horizon is plastic Chaos Cult Troops. I can say that the Plague Marines are more bulky and tailored for the new bases. Standard 5 man squads per box with all weapon options and nice bits to spruce up the Champions.
via Nightfury on 12-27-2014
2015 will be the year of supplements and campaigns. Dark angels will almost certainly feature in the next campaign which i heard quite possibly is called DarkStorm
~The opponents to the Dark Angels are said to be Crimson Slaughter
HARLEQUIN RUMORS
via Darnok (who’s on a rumor tear!)
“As most of you will know, the next release for 40K will be Codex: Necrons at the end of January. But…
Source #1
After that come…. Harlequins. Multiple plastic kits and clams over several weeks I think including new jetbike riding ones, is there a current or old name for them? These are called sky weavers.

Apply salt as usual, but this comes from my most trusted source. Unless there is anything big I’m unaware of this should be hitting February, or March at the latest.”
Wow, the Harlequins last saw a full Army List in the Warhammer Compendium from 1991.
