Warhammer 40,000 : Dawn of War II – Retribution – The Last Stand Necron Overlord Steam

Introducing the Necron Overlord, a brand new hero for the Last
Stand mode of Warhammer® 40,000® Dawn of War® II: Retribution™ and
Warhammer® 40,000® Dawn of War® II: The Last Stand Alone™.

The Overlords of the Necrons lead the legions into the carnage
of war, commanding absolute authority over their subordinates.
Armed with crackling warscythes and potent weaponry of ancient
design, they dispatch their foes in flares of blinding energy.

Contemptuous of the lesser races, Overlords are utterly
convinced of their own superiority, and act accordingly. Only those
who prove themselves worthy, by showing courage and skill at arms,
might earn a quick death. For all others, agony and humiliation
await.

Bringing a fresh playstyle to the battlefield, the Necron
Overlord can be played as long-raged fast firing “battlecruiser” or
as area-of-effect melee expert. A full complement of wargear
supports either style of play.

The signature ability of the Necron Overlord allows him to
summon the god-like Nightbringer Shard to the battlefield, part of
a ancient star deity that can rain destruction on all the
Overlord’s enemies.

Wargear

• Glyph of Tombs
  Once the guardians of massive stasis-tombs, with the awakening, the
  grim Canoptek Spyders have joined the legions of deathless on the
  field, providing critical repairs, scavenging material, and when
  necessary, eviscerating enemies.
  Additional Energy is bestowed upon the Overlord for bearing
  this glyph.
• Glyph of the Star Gods
  The C’tan all share a common trait of uncommon cruelty. They demand
  fealty and worship, sometimes offering small boons to their
  followers. Increased energy regeneration is granted to the bearer
  of this glyph.
• Glyph of the Wraith
  Nightmarish in appearance, Canoptek Wraiths traverse any
  battlefield with ease, bringing terror and death to their enemies.
  This glyph grants increased movment speed to the Overlord.
• Glyph of Living Metal
  Crypteks often seek to improve on existing Necron technology where
  they can. This glyph provides additional Health and Health
  Regeneration.
• Glyph of the Reclaimer
  The bearer of this ancient and terrible glyph is capable of
  draining the Health of nearby enemies. The Overlord receives a
  large boost to Health Regeneration based on the number of enemies
  within range.
• Glyph of the Tireless Harvest
  Upon awakening from the Great Sleep, it is not uncommon for Lords
  and Overlords to have lost a significant portion of their previous
  personalities or even sanity. Worlds and civilizations unfortunate
  enough to be situated near the stasis-crypts of such a master often
  fall under the terrible scythes of these reckless horrors.
  A reduction in all ability cooldowns is granted to the bearer
  of this glyph.
• Glyph of the Implacable
  There are many in the Imperium who believe the Necron threat to be
  unstoppable. While they may overestimate the organizational
  capabilities of these ancient warriors, they are wise to be wary
  and may save their own lives for thinking so. This stoic glyph
  grants additional Armor Rating.
• Mindshackle Scarabs
  Necrons seek to either destroy or enslave. When destruction is not
  desired and a planet continues to defy them, Mindshackle Scarabs
  are often used. It is unknown how many worlds have simply laid down
  their arms in the face of overwhelming power or have been the
  victim of these mind-altering creatures.
  Mindshackle scarabs turn a foe against his or her allies for a
  period of time.
• Nanoscarabs
  In addition to the already significant regenerative properties of
  the Necrodermis, Nanoscarabs can make the Overlord nearly
  invincible to minor damage.
• Nightmare Shroud
  Upon activation, the mind-twisting effects of the Nightmare Shroud
  immediately begin to take hold. Weak-minded enemies are sent
  fleeing in terror as their thoughts are violently invaded.
• Phase Shifter
  Ancient Necron Crypteks perfected the art of ‘flickering’ in and
  out of reality, using it on a number of their more terrifying
  machines of war. A personal Phase Shifter allows the Overlord to
  instantly skip short distances, either to close in on a foe or to
  escape danger.
• Phylactory
  Hundreds of spider-like machines are housed within a scarab-shaped
  charm and instantly released to repair the bearer’s wounds if he
  would take a fatal blow.
• Monolithic Diadem
  Perhaps most emblematic of the Necron is the Monolith. Towering
  above the battlefield, even a single instance of these ponderous
  engines of war is often enough to sow fear and prompt swift
  subjugation. Part transport and part battlecruiser, the Monolith
  leaves only doom in its wake.
  Found within the antechamber of a wrecked Monolith, this Diadem
  reduces the energy requirements of all the Overlord’s
  abilities.
• Diadem of the Nemesor
  The honorific of Nemesor is granted to the commanding noble of a
  particular campaign and is used to temporarily unite disparate
  Dynasties and armies of the Necrons into a single powerful and
  efficient force.
  This diadem grants improved combat prowess beyond the
  Overlord’s already substantial abilities.
• Diadem of Reanimation
  The most feared of Necron traits is, without a doubt, Reanimation.
  Many Imperial accounts of battles with the Necrons tell of an
  unwitting soldier moving on to another foe only to be slain from
  behind by the one previously felled.
  The Overlord is able to self-revive after a short duration if
  he becomes incapacitated.
• Technomancer’s Diadem
  Necron weaponry is not fully understood by anyone except the most
  elite of Necron technomancers, known as Crypteks. Weaving living
  metal and energy takes untold lifetimes to master.
• Tachyon Diadem
  Tachyon technology is highly intricate and precise. This
  projector’s sliver-like projectiles are transformed from inert
  metal shards to unstoppable bolts of energy in an instant.
• Raiment of Resurrection
  A Resurrection Orb is capable of raising allies from near fatal
  injuries. This ancient and powerful device is an iconic piece of
  technology and only wielded by members of the Necron Regency.
• Raiment of the Tesseract
  Tesseract Labyrinths are essentially dimensional pylons that can be
  used to imprison or bind beings within their inescapable walls.
  Unassuming in nature, these ancient devices are highly valued and
  sought after by the lesser races.
  When active, the Tesseract Labyrinth locks enemies in place,
  leaving them vulnerable to attacks.
• Raiment of the Nightbringer
  Sadistic and unimaginably cruel, the C’tan known as the
  ‘Nightbringer’ was the oldest and most powerful of his kind. When
  the Necrons finally bested the star god millions of years ago, it
  was broken into thousands of shards. These shards still contain
  vast power and were bound within Tesseract Labyrinths for use in
  only the most dire of circumstances.
  When released, the Nightbringer’s presence disrupts and damages
  enemies nearby.
• Doomsday Edge
  Although the Book of Mournful Night, housed deep within the Eldar
  Black Library, chronicles the eventual doom of the Necrontyr people
  to the Deceiver’s guile, there were clear advantages to
  immortality. Now, millions of years after their Great Sleep begin,
  some Necron Crypteks and astromancers seek to undo what was wrought
  upon them by their own ambition.
• Staff of the Obelisk
  Necron “Obelisks” are mortifying structures, often situated in the
  thickest of the fighting. Monstrous Canoptek Leeches are latched to
  its outer walls and rapidly repair any damage that it receives. For
  defense, four Tesla Spheres arc living lightning and can strike
  down multiple foes at a time making it an exceptionally potent
  anti-air battery.
• Staff of the Phaeron
  Near the beginning of the perilous war with the C’tan, one Phaeron,
  Kabahkar, tasked the entirety of his loyal Crypteks with the
  construction of this particularly potent Staff of Light. Never
  satisfied, he had them toil away until the conflict’s dying days.
  By the time of the Great Sleep, he wasn’t once able to wield its
  powerful effects in battle against the star gods.
• Celestial Staff
  After conquering Kronus and stopping the dormant Tombworld from
  fully awakening, the Blood Ravens took this unusual Staff of Light
  into their possession for examination. Contact with the
  investigative team was lost shortly thereafter.
• Lance of Annihilation
  Unhinged masters of war, Destroyer Lords are of equal or greater
  power to any Lord or Overlord of the Necrons. The ranking nobility
  mainly seek to direct their unfettered bloodlust in battle.
  This particular weapon can unleash a barrage of energy, dealing
  massive damage in enemies caught in the area.
• Voidreaper
  The Nekthyst Dynasty claims that this incredible weapon simply
  appeared in their crownworld’s armory when the Nightbringer was
  finally smashed into submission. True or not, the Voidreaper is a
  sight to behold, capable of rendering the mightiest armor useless
  in a single blow.
• Warscythe of Extinction
  The Overlord bearing this fearsome scythe may project a physical
  barrier of energy that prohibits movement. Previous owners have
  used this to corner enemies and slay them while their allies looked
  on helplessly.
• Warscythe of the Phalanx
  The rank and file of the Necron forces are more than a match for
  even the most elite of the younger races. When assembled in
  formation, few forces can even begin to stem the onslaught of gauss
  fire and tireless determination.
  Kills made with this Warscythe deal additional damage in an
  area around the unfortunate foe.
• Staff of Light
  Both a symbol of nobility and power, the Staff of Light sends
  supercharged bolts of energy at opponents. Additionally, it is a
  potent power weapon in melee combat.
• Overlord’s Diadem
  Passed on through their respective Dynasties, the Diadems of the
  Overlords are proudly treasured by their bearers as marks of
  timeless lineage and loyalty.
• Raiment of the Overlord
  Ceremonial raiment of the most powerful of Necron nobility.

Abilities

• Tachyon Arrow
  Fires a hyper-accelerated armor-piercing bolt at the target.

  enemies. This renders combat impossible but dramatically improves
  health regeneration.

  damage.

  Unleash the ancient energy of the Resurrection Orb. Allies cannot
  be killed within its radius and will be revived when it fully

  Phase out of reality and rematerialize a short distance away.
• Tesseract Tomb
  Projects a pocket-dimensional labyrinth that traps and holds
  enemies firmly in its grasp while it is active.
• Labyrinth of the Nightbringer
  Risk annihilation and allow the Nightbringer C’tan Shard to bring
  to bear its unfathomable power upon your enemies.

  Discharge energy from either the Staff of Light or Warscythe at a
  target, blasting it backwards and dealing damage.

  Smash all nearby enemies with a stunning strike from the Doomsday
  Edge.
• Mindshackle Scarabs
  Inflict mind-stealing scarabs into the target squad, causing it to
  fight for your cause for a duration.
• Annihilation Barrage
  Multiple beams of scouring death strike in quick succession in a
  line from the targeted location.
• Necrotic Barrier
  Project an impassible barrier that can halt an advance or re-route
  enemies. Enemies caught in the barrier as it materializes are
  knocked back.
• Entropic Strike
  A hateful strike from the Voidreaper completely strips the armor of
  a target enemy and those nearby for a short duration.
• Nightmare Shroud
  Fill the feeble minds of nearby enemies with courage-obliterating
  images of despair causing them to flee.

Achievements

• The Red Harvest
  Complete 100 total waves as the Overlord.
• Lord of Risen Doom
  Revive 2 Allies at a time (or 1 Ally and yourself) with the
  Resurrection Orb ability twice in a single game.
