Also from what's been suggested 'picture 2' in my previous post is supposed to be the Necron half of the 9th edition starter set.

That trailer was the most boss trailer that doesn't include a good army could be.
Jokes aside, the new necron stuff looks really nice. The shambling hordes of decrepit undead robot feel is really well done. Other than derpy's face, that is.
I'm really interested in all of those items announced by James, like Tank shooting, and cover being a thing again. Those look like quality tweaks.

As for the shambling hordes bit? It's apparently because the Overlords don't bother ensuring the repair protocols for the 'menials' are up to spec. Insert facepalm here.

I really just think it was the paint job on the one they happened to put the focus on. Even though the others don't get as close up, I think they looked fine.

I have picked up so many necrons from other people trying to unload over the years. I am like. "I have 9 Monoliths.... is that new funky monolith going to be number 10? Do I need to buy it... " My wallet says "Save Now! Dont wait until it comes out." Also Need to paint all my models now. cause... I have a lot of models to pick up when 9th comes out.

Wait. "Explosive"? What? Which weapons are explosive? That's a thing?

it's a new thing... so things like battle cannons (which no one takes) and they showed a knight when they previewed the rule, so I'm guessing it's again one of the knight weapons no one takes. The preview video chat on twitch had one of the guys mention that there's certain weapons that are just never chosen over their "better" alternative so it's trying to make people actually have a choice in what they build rather than always go for the stock option that everyone does for a loadout

Well they show a Knight's battle cannon in said context so presumably it's the d3 or d6 heavy weapons that get the trait or 9th is giving new keywords etc to particular weapons.
Also another leaked image gives a name for the tripod Necrons and the little bug we see hanging out with them. Skorpekh Destroyers and the Canoptek Plasmacyte.
So apparently some Destroyers prefer modding for rip-and-tear versus big guns (the D.Lord will finally get some melee friends) and we're getting some more support Canoptek units because I sure didn't see a gun on the little guy.
