You can help the Lexicanum by adding appropriate images.
The Necron Lord is a unit available to the Necron army list. It is the most sophisticated of the C'tan's servants and they act as the leaders and energy centres for the Necron Warriors. They are often seen wearing crumbling vestments and wielding ancient and arcane staffs.
Their role is to direct battles and enable Necron units that are destroyed by high energy weapons to attempt their We'll Be Back rolls. They are a chilling sight on the battlefield and fill many with dread and horror. Age mars and chips at their once-perfectly silvered forms. To further unnerve the enemy, they direct their forces to attack in eerie silence and have glittering arcs of energy surrounding the soulless fires that burn in their empty eye sockets.
They are generally armed with a Staff of Light, but may upgrade it to a Warscythe. They may also take equipment from the Necron Armoury. Sometimes, when more mobility is needed, they can be mounted on a Destroyer Body chassis, and they then become Destroyer Lords.
Gameplay
The Necron Lord is the leader and special abilities centre of a Necron Army. Many of the advanced equipment available to the Necrons can only be equipped with the Necron Lord. The power and variety of Necron wargear makes the Necron Lord a powerful command unit, but also make it a target for enemy forces. This often requires the use of a screening force to protect the powerful Lord.
In Dawn of War the unit goes by the name "Lord Destroyer" and has different abilities
Abilities Note
Dawn of War's Lord Destroyer has two unique abilities, but does not have access to the numerous upgrades of the Necron Lord. The Lord Destroyer can cast a Stasis Field that freezes all units in an area for 30 seconds. The Lord Destroyer can also Possess an enemy vehicle. Possession gives control of the enemy vehicle, and the Lord Destroyer returns with 25% of its hitpoints after the vehicle is destroyed.
