Necron and my ...post initial thoughts?

Cover from the new Codex

So, I've had some time to read through the new Necron Codex and even make a list or two.  And there sits my stack of Necron kit boxes and me sitting here to absorb this new codex and my thoughts on it.  I must say it is somewhat of a mixed bag of feelings and I'm not entirely sure if my concerns are well founded.  Let me explain why...I started playing with a Marine Codex, specifically the Blood Angels and I feel this was both a boon and a hindrance.

Initial Thoughts on the Necron

**This was something I was writing up before I received the Necron Codex.  I now have it and will be writing a 'review' of it soon.  I simply wanted to post what I had to see the opinions I had before receiving said codex, enjoy**

So I thought I'd cast some thoughts into the worst kept secret from GW.  Namely the Newest codex:

To begin with I'd like to discuss some of the themes on the army as we know it.  Please note that I DO NOT have access to a leaked codex or anything of the sort.  I am simply going by what I've read in White Dwarf, The GW site and the occasional leaked information (namely 3++ and Faeit 211) so please take this with a grain of salt (even less since I'm new to the game by comparison to most of you).
