Description
Blood and Gore
Violence

Deep under the central desert of Kronus, a vast honeycomb of skull-lined tunnels and funereal chambers house the awakening mass of the Necron plague. Eons ago, these were the boulevards and squares of a great necropolis built to house the bones of the races who had fallen to the Necron purge, and ultimately for the Necron themselves to retire to. Over the millions of years, sand and rock had covered it all until ill-fated excavations awoke the deathless again.

Play any of seven unique races, striving for control over planet Kronus, a world on the edge of the Imperium that has recently fallen under the rule of the Tau Empire. Witness the ancient Necrons awakening from the depths of the planet to renew their mission to exterminate all life in the galaxy and harvest its remains. The Necrons' return has made Kronus a high priority target for all the other major powers in the galaxy, who have converged for a new day of reckoning.

A showdown of epic proportions follows: Seven races contend for dominance of the planet — but only one can be victorious.
