Necron gameplay in Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV - faction overview trailer released

Some units will move very slowly.

In late July, KING Art and Deep Silver studios presented a new trailer for Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV. Previously, they had already introduced players to the Necron faction, but back then it was just a CGI video, and now the RTS developers have decided to provide a small gameplay demonstration and reveal details.

For example, they talked about the construction mechanics. The strategic center of the Necrons is the Tomb Citadel, which is also used for unit production. As the Necron base expands, players will also spread the Power Matrix. Many of the faction's buildings can only be built on this field, and each building also contributes to its further expansion.

The developers showed Necron units and several combat scenes in the video. In addition, they shared one of their favorite strategies: it involves using cheap small units called "scarabs." Swarms of these insect-like creatures are among the fastest units in the faction. Scarabs can engage enemy ranged units in close combat, giving slower fighters time to close the distance.
