They only have a single production center, their Monolith, and are very susceptible to early attacks because of it. In Dawn of War, The Necron are one of the slowest races. In the case of defeat, a Necron army can 'phase-out' taking all troops, fallen or otherwise, back to the nearest Tomb World to be rebuilt by the Tomb Spyders that lie within. The Necrons have no clear objective, but this is only a glimpse of the untold numbers that the Necron war machine has. The Necrons strike without notice and disappear without a trace before their enemies can regroup and counterattack, leaving untold numbers of casualties in their wake. Now, in the 41st Millennium, the Necrons have begun to awaken from their eon-old slumber, summoned by the C'tan to strike at the warring races in the galaxy. It is at some point after this the Necrons descend into their many 'Tomb Worlds' and begin a slumber that will not end until they are once again needed by their gods. As a last measure against the Necrons, were they ever to take over the galaxy, the Old Ones also created the Orks to combat the Necrons but their creation was unpredictable and they lost control of it. In the C'tan's brief moment of weakness, the Old Ones created the Eldar to combat the Necrons' Gods themselves.

The C'tan led the Necrons to victory after victory against the Old Ones, but eventually turned on each other. Dulled in mind and senses, the Necrontyr became an army of slaves for the C'tan.

What the Necrontyr gained in lifespan, they lost in free will. In exchange for a chance to defeat their enemies, the Old Ones, the Necrontyr, or Necrons, offered their being to the C'tan and were incased in the Necrodermis, a 'Living Metal,' of their own design. The Necrons are an army of ancient, robotic followers of the C'tan.

Relic also included a map editor with the game that can be used to made custom mods and maps.Дark Crusade was followed by Dawn of War: Soulstorm on March 4th, 2008. Players are driven into, and subsequently experience, story missions by declaring an attack on an opponent's 'Stronghold.' Completing a stronghold mission eliminates that race from the game. Capturing territories will grant players either an elite 'Honor Guard' unit that will accompany their Commander into battle or a special ability, such as the ability to strike at any province during your turn. Auto-resolution runs greater risks and may result in larger casualties. Declaring an attack prompts the player, who receives a choice of playing out a scenario against the opposing army for the territory, or having the game auto-resolve the scenario.

The campaign is similar to Risk: players have their commander that acts as an attacking force and must go out and engage other adjacent territories. Rather than playing through multiple story-linked missions, players instead choose a Commander and take control of a specific army in order to take control of the planet, Kronus. Another major departure from previous Dawn of War titles is the overhaul to the single-player campaign. Released October 9, 2006, Dark Crusade introduces players to two new races from the Warhammer 40,000 universe: The Necrons and the Tau. Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Dark Crusade is the second expansion pack for Relic's hit game Dawn of War.
