ABOUT THE DLC This content requires the base game. 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.

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.

Weak-minded enemies are sent fleeing in terror as their thoughts are violently invaded.
