NECRON UNITS
BUILDER SCARAB (HOT KEY: S)
The Builder Scarab is the most basic of Necron units, but is also one of the most
valuable. It is the only unit that can capture Strategic Points, and also serves as
the building unit for creating Necron structures. Builder Scarabs can also repair
damaged structures, infantry and vehicles in the heat of battle. While extremely
useful in expanding your territory, Builder Scarabs are not outfitted with any
weapons, making them extremely vulnerable to enemies. Builder Scarabs can
also detect infiltrated units.
NECRON WARRIOR (HOT KEY: N)
This Necron heavy infantry unit is a terror to behold on the field of battle. Made of
a flexible and regenerative metal, the Necron Warrior can actually regenerate
health while in the field, and also take on enemy infantry with its powerful gauss
weaponry. Necron Warriors also have a chance of reassembling themselves if
they are defeated. While technically the lowest Necron infantry unit, in large
numbers, the Necron Warrior is a formidable foe. Necron Warriors can be
teleported back to any Necron building except the Gauss Turret using their
Summon ability.
WRAITH (HOT KEY: W)
Capable of phasing itself out of the physical world, the Wraith is a deceptive unit,
especially when put in a reconnaissance role. Wraiths move extremely fast and
are capable of a tremendously powerful melee attack at close range. But, Wraiths
are also lightly armored and can take little punishment from enemy units (although
they are more resilient against ranged attacks). While phased, these units can
move about the map freely, but are unable to attack. Wraiths can also detect
infiltrated units and uncapture enemy Strategic Points.
NECRON LORD (HOT KEY: L)
The primary Necron commander unit, the Necron Lord is a powerful foe when in
close proximity to other Necron infantry. By acquiring artifacts, the Necron Lord
can exponentially increase its abilities as well as the strength of the troops around
it. As you upgrade the Necron Monolith headquarters, the Necron Lord can gain
access to more powerful abilities and upgrades.
IMMORTALS (HOT KEY: I)
This Necron heavy infantry unit is best suited for assaults on enemy structures
and vehicles. Their heavy gauss blasters can penetrate most enemy armor and
have the longest range of all Necron weapons, although when facing enemy
infantry, Immortals are better served using melee attacks. Like the Necron
Warriors, Immortals also have the chance to reassemble themselves if they are
defeated.
NECRONS
For 60 million years, the Necrons have lain dormant under the surface of the planet Kronus.
Aeons ago, the Necrontyr race clung to their short lives in fear of oblivion at the hands of their
massive and ravaging star. They pushed the limits of science in an effort to lengthen their lives,
but to no avail. Then, the star gods known as the C'tan were discovered, offering immortality at a
terrible price. The Necrontyr agreed, and their souls were encased in living metal bodies. What
they did not know was that the process dulled their minds and senses so they became slaves of
the C'tan. The C'tan needed warrior-slaves to harvest the life forms of the galaxy so the star gods
can feast on souls, and the C'tan's new Necrons served this purpose well. Their methods are
fearsome and without remorse. On the field of battle they wield unholy armaments and can tap in
to the dark powers of their god to give them a considerable edge against their enemies.
Made of a malleable and flexible metallic element that has the power to regenerate itself, the
Necrons are never fully defeated when slain. Most Necron units have a chance to reassemble
themselves once defeated, effectively making them invincible.
While highly powerful melee combatants, the Necrons are also adept at long-ranged attacks.
Their ancient technologies make them skilled at fighting both infantry and vehicles. Their most
important unit, the Necron Lord, can also be upgraded with a variety of artifacts. Once upgraded,
the Necron Lord can strengthen the power of Necron units in his vicinity.
The unholy forces of the Necron are perhaps the most formidable in Warhammer 40,000: Dark
Crusade. With powerful weapons, the ability to reassemble their defeated, and an unquenchable
thirst to enslave all life, the Necrons are an unholy force to be reckoned with.
Note on the Necron Economy:
Necrons are unique in the sense that they do not use the Requisition res
ource (the resourc e
normally generated by strategic points). Necrons capture strategic points to dep
rive the enemy
of their resources, and to serve as a foundation for a Tower of Impending Doom. Each T
ower
built reduces the time required to train and reinforce units, and the time required to complet
e
researches. Each Tower built also increases the Necrons’ maximum squad and vehicle cap.
