This page is about Dawn of War: Soulstorm multiplayer and single-player units. For background information, see Necrons. As a whole, the Necrons have a few interestingly unique aspects to them compared to the other races: 1) They are for the most part slow, both in main army movement on the.

  • Giant rat-men living in the sewers can't possibly be real.

    So 3 races have a connection to the planet so far, I wonder who will be first (Necrons, Chaos and IG).

    Not known yet, although Relic tend to go for full expansions with story campaigns and such. I don't know if this is viable with the game currently though, as many people are complaining about lacking content, so maybe they will be forced to release some races and make campaigns later on.

    they better do my friend pray ....or player base will drop there are arch army haters all around steam and youtube

  • BOOOOO! No Necron.

    Dawn of War is Space Marines, Chaos, Orks, and Eldar. You left out Chaos because you were rushed, that's fine, but bring them in asap. Warhammer is not Warhammer without the ruinous powers. Orks are cool, Chaos is better.

    Where is the blood I was promised?!

    To be fair, Chaos has had more screen time than Necrons/Tau/Dark Eldar, so it would be only fair one of them to get the first expansion this time around. Hell, for all we know Relic could try and pull a thing where they add necrons, tau and chaos all in one expac; highly doubt they will but hey, anything is possible.

    To be fair, Necron/Tau/Dark Eldar aren't popular armies. Space Marines are the poster children of Warhammer, I get it, but man, I'm sorry, ++heresy redacted++ Necron. Let them slumber, you can have warhammer without Necron, without Tau, without Dark Eldar, but you can't have Warhammer without Chaos, what is this? Pre-heresy?

    I may come off as a little aggressive or possibly insulting, but know that I'm just being a fanboy. Every army deserves the spotlight, sure, but they sort of went against the grain when they excluded Chaos from the initial release and then will be adding insult to injury when they release Necron before Chaos.

    I honestly could life without Chaos. There are no suprises when it comes to Chaos. Take Tyranids for example, they brought some fresh wind in the game and I surely miss them.

    All I'm saying is there are a few factions that exist in Warhammer regardless of the time period, Orks and Chaos. Chaos is the nemesis. Chaos is nothing but surprises. How you can have a Space Marine campaign without Chaos deep in the root of the story is beyond me. I'm biased as hell, I know, I've got the Mark of Chaos tattooed on my body. But Chaos is always there playing the great big villain and Necron are just an afterthought. Tyranids are cool, adding them was a long time coming.

    I would be incredibly impressed if they were able to add every 40k army into this game before concluding. That make for quite a game that I for one would be playing for years.

  • I just love necrons for their slow, undead skeletal aesthetics.

    Words cannot describe how I absolutely agree on this. But hey, One can only dream, right?

  • since Necrons seems to coming back. Can the Adepta Sororitas a.k.a sisters of battle be in space marine Elite list? pretty please.

    They need to be their own faction.

    Absolutely.

    With exorcists as elites, stupid OP organ artillery.

Hey, so, I'm currently replaying Dark Crusade, one of my favourite games in the franchise and I just arrived at the Necron Stronghold in Campaign mode.

Is it just me? or are the necrons actually unbeatable? The Eldar were insanely easy to counter and I never felt as if I was getting particularly lucky against them..they were just..easy to counter. But the necrons in direct comparison really seem like bullshit.

Unless your memory doesn't recall, here's how it plays out:

You spawn in the Stronghold as you do on any other map with whatever elite units you managed to take with you (usually single-unit squads capable of taking strategic points). Close to you are two strategic points which both have the deactivated necron tomb spider adjacent to them which can/will activate itself.

Dawn Of War Narod

The first one activates almost immediately as the first point is being captured, and two necron units spawn at the main base (flayers, warriors) At this point you will barely have your faction-specific recruitment building constructed, which would only be in the process of training your first 'real' unit whilst your buildings and constructors/scouts are being damaged/killed.

Your commander is therefore one of the only units that can take on both of these squads unless you want your main base to be significantly damaged or you want to give up on capturing one of the two points. There is no point building listening posts or other improvements - since they'll be destroyed or you won't have the resources required to update.

Dawn Of War Necrons

You might have some time to spawn one squad of fire warriors or space marines before you have flayers, normal necron warriors and the tomb spider to contend with before your recruiter is destroyed - meanwhile, you will have 1-2 strategic points with no listening-posts or other upgrades.

This wasn't just something I encountered with Tau, but also as Space Marines. I'm confident the campaign is structured in such a way where the necrons are impossible until your commander unit has attained several pieces of wargear.

Even if you manage to build things such as turrets with your resources, you still won't even get the vehicle nor the troops down before they destroy your listening posts, your builders, and your recruiter. Seems unwinnable.

Is this supposed to be unbeatable hard? Because, the Eldar by comparison are garbage-easy.

[edit] Hard being a loose term, more like bullshit, really.
