All of you need to read Oyasumi Punpun.

I get that the Necrons from a characteristic aspect were not as accessible to players, I get that, and it is a fault I regularly cite as a problem with the first codex.
But to give the Necrons distinguishment as a faction, I don't feel a complete rewrite of everything that came before was necessary, and is a sign of bad game design, since it alienates the old playerbase. The thematic elements and feel of the Necrons is gone, now the Lords are dastardly cartoon villains akin to Cobra Commander (Because the Dark Eldar and Chaos shouldn't be the only ones to hog that scene amirite?), and the Necrons have been knocked down a few pegs in terms of being a decidedly villainous faction, now being honestly no worse and in some ways better than the Imperium morally.
Though, objectively, the fluff isn't as bad as Grey Knights as I said.
That said, there is still a lot of derpy shit in the fluff, Ward is as Ward does. The Celestial Orrery is completely ridiculous, the Necrons now have the means to effectively destroy the Imperium of Man with the press of a button. You get goofy shit like Necrons having non-Webway FTL only wait no it sucks wait no it's good wait no it sucks shit, which mirrors the inconsistent nature of the Grey Knights codex (Grey Knights are completely incorruptible! Purifiers are so incorruptible that they guard secrets that corrupt normal Grey Knights! CROWE MAKES OTHER PURIFIERS LOOK LIKE SLAANESHI CHILD MOLESTERS IN TERMS OF CORRUPTIBILITY!), and of course Imotekh beating Chapter Master Helbrecht's ass in a melee fight casually (The leader of a chapter specialising in close combat and the Black Templars themselves being one Ward obviously dislikes).
Stuff.
What do you mean?This thread covers my sentiments pretty well.
