However, should an attack on their catacombs be successful, the attacking faction will leave a bomb in a key pressure point, entombing and crushing the necrons. Should the Necrons win, they turn Kronus into a lifeless desert, going as far as draining the oceans. Under the leadership of their silent Lord, the Necrons on Kronus have reawakened to purge all life from the planet. He also was able to keep traces of his personality and serve as the adviser of the Necron Lord. Although most of the scientists were killed, Tomas Macabee was spared and transformed into a Necron Pariah. It has been millennia of long slumber for the Necrons on Kronus however, thanks to a group of scientists, led by Tomas Macabee, the Necrons are back and ready to turn Kronus into a dead world. The Eldar also possess a special ability, which can instantly kill a Monolith, at their Webway Assembly. With the exception of Orks, each faction has a method to gain control of the Titan guns present in these levels and easily deal with the Monoliths. One objective in each final level is to destroy the Monoliths. Their forces only consist of Monoliths and Warriors, though both have different stats then their Dark Crusade versions. The Necrons in Winter Assault only make an appearance in the final level of all campaigns as a hostile faction. The Necrons have come to Lorn V to purge the living. The Necrons are NOT a playable faction in Winter Assault.
Now, in the 41st millennium, they have found a galaxy teeming with life again. The C'tan needed warrior-slaves to harvest the lifeforms of the galaxy so the star gods could feast on the energies released by their deaths, and the C'tan's new Necrons served this purpose well.Īfter life across the galaxy ran thin millions of years ago, the Necrons went into stasis, waiting for life to grow back. What they did not know was that the process dulled their minds and senses so they became slaves of the C'tan. The Necrontyr agreed, and their souls were encased in living metal bodies. Then, the star gods known as the C'tan were discovered, offering immortality at a terrible price. They pushed the limits of science in an effort to lengthen their lives, but to no avail. Aeons ago, the Necrontyr race clung to their short lives in fear of oblivion at the hands of their massive and ravaging star. The Necrons' story is one of an ancient betrayal.
