Is this legit or what (source?..I got it off those great guys at TG but where did it appear first?)

Isn't that the fake sheet that turned up around April Fool's day?

Here it is, posted 1st April on a German site: http://www.tabletopwelt.de/forum/showth ... p?t=114822

Apparently the comments, when translated, make it clear it's a fake.

The Warscythe entry reads like it was written by someone for whom English isn't their first language.

It is interesting to say the least. While the writing of the special rules is certainly suspect, I agree with Baragash that some of GW's writings are, at times, only marginally better! :lol:

Hmmm.. it is very interesting. As a fake, it is well done(Including ensuring that the associated page numbers are all correct as well).

Take for instance the listing for the Gauss Flayer which matches the Warrior page, while the Blaster is on the Immortal page. Also the Cannon and Heavy cannons are both listed on the Destroyer page which also appears to no longer have a Heavy version that is different(Maybe implied as simply an upgraded weapon now?)

Also there is a new weapon(Gauss flamer) which appears to be the Spyders new weapon instead of the old Gauss Blaster.

It 'would' be a great new army surprise to have updated Necron rules released, however I seem to recall these as rumors back when the 'Dark Crusade' released and had the Deceiver and Nightbringer as a Lord upgrade. It was rumored then of a new codex making C'tan only in Apoc and having a limited version of power options as upgraded Lords.
