Dawn of War IVAncient. Immortal. Unstoppable. Witness the return of the Necrons as they restore their tombs, expand their domain to earn their Dominion resource across Kronus, and awaken ancient engines of war in the new gameplay deep dive.
As they reclaim Kronus, they expand their domain to earn resources across the battlefield by restoring ancient structures and activating their Power Matrix, steadily turning the war in their favor. At the center of their growing empire stands the Tomb Citadel, which also serves as the production engine for your units.
Leading their forces are two powerful commanders: the Chronomancer Thothmek, who bends time to disrupt enemies and accelerate Necron reanimation, and Ahmnok, once ruler of Kronus, consumed entirely by the urge to annihilate all life.
With self-repairing legions, unyielding constructs, and ancient technologies that bend space, time, and probability, the Necrons do not adapt to war; they outlast it.
