First of all, 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.

The Overlords of the Necrons lead the legions into the carnage of war, commanding absolute authority over their subordinates. Armed with crackling war scythes and potent weaponry of ancient design, they dispatch their foes in flares of blinding energy. Bringing a fresh playstyle to the battlefield, the Necron Overlord can be played as long-ranged 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 to the battlefield, an ancient star deity that can rain destruction on all the Overlord’s enemies. The Necron Overlord is a fan favorite, and by far the most requested addition to our Last Stand mode in Retribution! We have worked hard on making this a reality for players and we hope you enjoy playing it as much as we loved making it for you!

The Necron will be available from Steam as of the 10th and to make this even more of a Birthday celebration, it will be available for FREE! This will be for 5 days to celebrate the 5 years of Retributions success. After the the 5 days, it will go to full price at $9.99, so make sure you guys add it to your wishlist and download it before the 15th! Steam page will be up soon so look forward to updates!
