00:00As for the Necrons, my primary objective, what I want to do is I want to spread the power matrix,
00:07which is this funky looking effect that you can see on the terrain here.
00:11It is spread, as you can see, by every or almost every Necron structure.
00:17So Necrons don't need power or requisition or all those other things that the vermin species require in order to
00:24host their armies.
00:26We have only one resource, and it's called Dominion, which is earned by spreading this power matrix.
00:33The further out we spread it, the more we earn of it.
00:35The Necron units are generally quite powerful, but not particularly mobile.
00:40And the main way that they get around this is through teleportation or translocation technology.
00:45The main way that they do that is through the use of canoptic spiders that they can build through the
00:50canoptic foundry, which creates tomb pylons.
00:53These can be placed anywhere on the map, and as soon as they are placed, you can put units in
00:58the reserve,
00:59placing them into the tomb citadel, and then deploy them from that reserve to any tomb pylon on the map.
01:05With this amount of warriors here that I've got going on, I don't think I need too much surprise.
01:10There we go.
01:11Okay, now a real fight's breaking out.
01:13We're throwing out the stratagems here.
01:16It's done quite a lot of damage to my warriors, but fortunately, they are already well on their way to
01:23return,
01:23so we're actually going to go ahead and put another one down here.
01:26Okay.
