As you can see from the lopsided victory, Wraiths dominate infantry units in a big way. Or is it? Three Wraiths come into the scene, and basically turn the Assault Marines into blood-filled pi¿atas (you can tell that our animators had a lot of fun making these kill animations). The Assault Marines quickly dispatch the Necron Warriors, and start to recapture the point. But the Space Marines have their own plans for the strategic point, and send in a large group of Assault Marines to restore order. The video opens with a small scarab squad capturing a strategic point while a small squad of Necron Warriors guards them.
YES NO If you watch the video at the bottom of the page, you'll get to see some Wraiths in action. This ability not only allows them to escape from sticky situations, but also allows them to soak up a lot of enemy fire while they're phased out. Wraiths also have the ability to "phase out" of existence for short periods of time if the odds are stacked against them. Wraiths are the fastest unit in the game, and they have a devastating effect on infantry units. The Necrons do have an answer to quick races, and as you might have already guessed, this answer is the Wraith. Necron units do serious damage if they manage to get a hold of you, but a quick and agile race like the Eldar can really give them fits. Necron units are extremely powerful, but they are also extremely slow. Necrons have a lot of things going for them, but one of their weaknesses is speed. The time has finally come to put the galaxy back under their iron yoke, and you the player will get to crush the galaxy in their name. They've been lying in tombs all over the galaxy for millions of years, waiting for their revenge. They actually succeeded once in the distant past, but were overthrown by the younger races. The Necrons are a race of metallic skeletons that are hell-bent on enslaving the galaxy. After you're finished reading, be sure to check out the video vignette in the video section.įor those of you that have just now joined us, the Necrons are one of the two new races we're featuring in Dark Crusade. Today we'll be talking about the Wraith, one of the Necrons' deadliest raiding units.
