They move slowly, but are more accurate when firing on the move than other infantry. They are, however, playable as a full faction in the Dark Crusade expansion. They are only seen in the final mission, and they only have two kinds of units. The Necrons, like the Imperial Guard in Dawn of War, do not appear as a complete faction in Winter Assault. They have recently begun to stir, appearing in small numbers here and there. Thus only Eldar have knowledge of them, younger species remaining quite ignorant. The Necrons disappeared around 60,000,000 years ago, apparently withdrawing to tomb worlds in lack of sufficient life to harvest. They serve the two remaining C'tan - Nightbringer and Deceiver (the rest killed each other after running out of victims) - without question, hunting life for them to feed on.
Unfortunately, millions of years and being killed/resurrected repeatedly have dulled their minds, making Necrons into something like robotic zombies. In exchange for servitude, the C'tan transferred Necrontyr souls into immortal, regenerating metallic bodies. They ended up striking a deal with what they called C'tan or "star gods", powerful beings feeding on stars who started preferring organic life after coming in contact with the mortal Necrontyr. Ages ago they were the Necrontyr, a technologically hyper-advanced yet short-lived species obsessed with immortality. Necrons are the undead of the Warhammer 40,000 universe. Monolith supported by squads of Necron Warriors.
