The Harbinger of Night is a title given to the Necron Lord who leads a Shroudweaver War Cell.
Harbingers of Night in the 41st Millennium
Those who hold this position have the ability to devour light over considerable distances and reduce blazing sunshine into a murky twilight. They overcast grey skies to abyssal darkness with few living creatures remaining to be defiant before the Harbingers approach. This is because their power over the natural order of things awakens the deepest of primeval fears. Shielded by darkness and heralded by terror, the Necron Harbinger begins its harvest with the skies being only clear when the battle is over.
Shroudweaver War Cell
This specialized Necron Lord is accompanied by a formation known as Shroudweaver War Cell, composed of at least thirty Necron Warriors, at least fifteen Immortals, and up to three Monoliths (however a Shroudweaver War Cell does not necessarily have to contain even one). This force acts a raiding force, which strikes under the cover of darkness provided by the Herald and reaps a grim tally as they Harvest their foes.1
