Lord Fletcher's Necron Strategy Guide # 1 Lord Fletcher Feb 12 2008, 13:37 PM Lord Fletcher's Necron Strategy Guide First of all: What is this Guide? This is a Necron strategy and some tips for this race. Here are some tips for the Necrons. This means that the new Necrons have NEVER appeared in a Dawn of War game, making them the only race not to be featured in a Dawn of War title. The last time this happened was when Dawn of War 2 came out - Dawn of War 1 featured (arguably) all of the main races of WH40k in some form, except for the Tyranids. Mar 15, 2016 - The Overlords of the Necrons lead the legions into the carnage of war, commanding absolute authority over their subordinates.
Necrons of Kronus
The leader of all Necron forces on Kronus. As he appears unable to speak, all external communications are made by one of his Pariahs, a former human (or Gue’la as Archives note: Gue’la in Tau language means human.) scientist named Thomas Macabee who was the sole survivor of an expedition he led to explore the catacombs of the Thur’abis Plateau. For reasons unknown, he retained traces of his former identity and was turned into a Pariah instead, serving as a “spokesman” of sorts for the Necrons. Dormant for millions of years, the Necrons of Kronus are now reawakening, like their compatriots on other worlds, and are determined to exterminate all other life on Kronus. In all likelihood, their actions could have precipitated the conflict leading to the Dark Crusade. The Necron Lord is initially equipped with basic equipment, but eventually gains more powerful equipment such as an advanced suit of armor, a better staff, a mask which makes him see infiltrated units and cloak which makes him travel faster. All the upgrades are available in turn when a battle is completed. On the whole he uses these upgrades to slaughter anything in his path.
If the Necrons finish off the other six races in Dark Crusade, they deploy their massive Monolith from beneath the surface and proceed on to kill off every single living organism on the planet, eventually drying up the oceans, and turning the resultant lifeless planet into a Tomb World. The Tomb World of Kronus then becomes a thorn in the side of the Imperium for years to come, as more Necrons reawaken and continue their Great Work on nearby worlds.
On the other hand, when the Thur’abis Plateau is taken, it shows the Necron Lord near the Pariah Thomas Macabee, who discovers the planted bomb. He tries to warn the Lord, but the bomb goes off in a massive explosion, collapsing the catacombs of the Thur’abis plateau, and entombing the Necrons under tons of rock. We also see the Nightbringer screaming from the top of the catacombs before he is consumed by the blast. Whether the Necrons of Kronus are truly defeated remains to be seen, although it seems highly unlikely that they survived.

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.
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.
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.
