Hey guys! A lot of this info is from a blogspot with many other sources that were found within it. I wish I could find more sites, or websites, but all I can't find anything better. Here goes.
-Heavy Destroyers and Destroyers will be done in plastic and are in one box with a lot of weapon options. Not much will change except fancier torsos. You still get one per box.
-Tomb Spyders will be redone and will look very different. They will have more weapon options too. I'm pretty excited about hearing this. I may get some for myself.
-There will be a new MC/Vehicle type thing that will be able to have 48 inches weapon that is similar to a Manticore. This I hope may open up some new Necron army builds that may be cool to play instead of having scarabs, destroyers, and heavy destroyers all the time.
-There is also a new MC that may be like a Wraith Lord in terms of assault and shooting but who knows? Its called the Necromancer. The model is supposed to be huge and I'm a fan of giant robots to play with ( dreadknights, dreadnoughts, ironclads, etc). It will have a lot of weapon options. Sounds pretty cool to me. I think this can definitely be a new unit that could possibly open up new builds.
-A new fast attack unit is gonna look a little like flayed ones ( dont quote me on this but it might be the Tomb Blades). They will have non MC weapon options for assault so this is nice. I thought they would be like pariahs but aw well. They will be jump infantry with an 18 in assault range. There will be 5 per box. THIS is even better news. Now Necrons might have some new assault units to use if they are any good to help back up scarabs.
-There will be a new metal Necron Lord on foot with a cool model and staff. Could possibly be a new character.
-Phase out of course is gone and I forgot to mention it.
-Ctan will be gone and will be replaced by Necron Lords and special ICs but still Im not sure if there will be generic Ctans and its just Nightbringer and Deceiver being moved to apocalypse but we will see.
-One lord makes Immortals Troops which is nice.
-An IC, or Lord will have Anti Psyker abilities which is a nice thing to hear since theres so much psyker stuff out there.
-Living Metal will get changed and not takin out so we'll see if its better or for the worse.
-A lot of the shady rules that are confusing in the codex will be simplified and will still be back in the book. Thank goodness!
-Necrons still will have "powers" but they arent psychic abilities.

this is my source for the above info.
Named Lords:
The Enfleshed - making Flayed Ones Troops
The Undying - making Immortals Troops
The Silent King ?
The Voidbringer ?
The Stormcaller ?
The Harbinger of Night ?
Here are some names that MIGHT be in the codex.
Warriors
Will come 10 to a box
New options and also other colors of rod (orange and red I think? Orange is not bright orange, but sort of dark, kinda like a beer color almost)
Warriors - no re-cut, possible additional sprue, yellow, orange, red, green rods, possible mark system. (10 per box)
This is good to know. Now Necrons can have some more variety.
Immortals
Redone, in plastic? Unsure of the material.
Lots of "Bling"
Bigger than old ones
One of the Special Character ‘Cron lords makes them troops
Will come in boxes of 5, can be in units of up to 10.
large (35mm) base; they are redesigned as larger, bulkier and more
Cool. Bigger and hopefully better robots which is what I expect nothing less of.
-Pariahs may be a part of a retinue unit for Necron Lords. SO they may not be gone from the codex in terms of the FOC. Nice!
Necromancer - Resurrection, Warscythe, Gauss smthn... (plastic kit, 1 per box)
Obelisk/Gauss Obliterator/Heavy Gauss Cannon platform (plastic kit, 1 per box)
These are some of the new vehicles/MC in the Heavy Support slot. I hope they can do some nice stuff and change up the game a bit.

-Necrons are set to be released in August/September 2011. Which should hopefully be around my birthday.

■We’ll be back is definitely gone (Feel no Pain has took over)
■We’re hearing that Gauss weapons are rending (which makes sense and will please Darrell no end)
■There will be a ton of Psychic powers listed as ‘Tech Upgrades’
The more ‘out there’ stuff that we have trouble believing
■There will be a more ornate vehicle (maybe monolith?) with moulded glyphs
■The feel of the range has been re-skinned to make it less ‘Terminator’
■Spyders have been redone
■We hear they are getting a reboot on the scale to rival the Dark Eldar!
-Whoa! Rending? I though it would not be any rending on weapons? Maybe its some of the weapons? Not sure. Rivaling Dark Eldar seems believable since the Necrons will have open topped vehicles and are EVIL.

WBB - the name is gone, now it is save 5+ working like FNP without influence of double strength and AP2 or AP1. However, save is made at the END of the phase after morale tests are taken.
-This is pretty interesting but still Im terrible at rolling 5+ for saves but thats just me.
Ever-Living - unit can make 5+ WBB/FNP/Whatever save even if wiped out.
Quantum Shielding - gives open topped skimmers 2+ save for front & side armor until vehicle takes its first glance/pen
-Here are some interestingly new rules that Im anxious to try out.
Heat Ray - working like melta or flamer depending which is needed.
Gauss - this type of weapons on a roll of 6' to hit cause auto-glance on a penetration roll. There is no auto-wound regardless of T. No rending.
Gauss Cannon - Assault 2 S6 AP3.
Gauss Flux Arc - Each Arc fires separately and can hit four different targets.
Tesla - this type of weapons on a roll of 6' to hit cause two more hits.
Tesla Heavy Cannon - has a chance of hitting all other units close to the target; both friend and foe.
Doomsday Cannon - 72" S9 AP1 Heavy1 Large Blast.
-These are some new weapons that look pretty powerful.
Tomb Spyders - MC, 3 different builds (CC, Shooting, Support).
Necromancer - MC, no squadrons, can be fielded as Elite or HS, high T but not enough vs plasma or melta, Resurrection, Warscythe, lot of weapon options, Heat Ray. Any unit hit by Necromancer is marked. All other Necrons shooting at this target count as having twin-linked weapons for that turn. It has a mechanised skeletal torso housing a suspended crystal.
Sky Barge/Chariot - Heavy support platform, which can be mounted by character. Provides bonus to character.
MC/Vehicle type thing (Obelisk/Gauss Obliterator/Gauss artillery platform with crew) - 48” range, less powerful than Manticore, looks stupid and out of Necron theme.
Vehicle which carry Doomsday Cannon.
-These are the units yall should look to for your heavy support.
Heres a few schematics for the new vehicles.
http://natfka.blogspot.com/2011/05/updated-necron-compilation-with-necron.html Heres my source for the above.
Necron LordCost: Just under 100pts (no idea what hundo means but I'm guessing 100).
Stats:
T5 W3
Unlocks Crypteks
Wargear:
Can take Destroyer Body for 50-100pts
Gives Hit and Run?
Makes him a Vehicle? Starts as 13/11/11 but as you take damage you go down to 11/11/10? So for each wound he takes he loses 1 armour value on all sides down to a min of 10?
Comes with Staff of Light
May exchange for Warscythe for free
Warscythe makes him S7 with power weapon hits, so it's a +2S Power weapon similar to the Sisters Blessed weapon or Dark Eldar ones.
May exchange for a Gauntlet = Flamer
2 Sword options that seem rather meh
Phylactery = When he dies roll a D6 = 1-3 he dies, 4+ he stands up with 1-3 wound depending on how high you rolled.
Rez Orb = Boosts the WBB to a 4+
Phase Shifter = 3++
Can upgrade his armour to 2+
Branishackles, similar to Grey Knights grenades with the effect to make units attack their own.
Necron Hunter Killer Missile, S8+ AP3+ Probably Blast or Large Blast.
Seems they got him in ResinHand To Hand/Close Combat - Assault (p33 40k 5th)
-This is a very cool Lord, but for a hundred points!? That seems a little unbelievable but thats me.
