The Tau are the de facto governors of the planet at the game's start, but the Eldar, Marines, and the Imperial Guard have recently arrived with their own motives, and the local Ork Waaagh! is leaving its own path of destruction. The campaign is set on a world called Kronos, where all seven Dawn of War factions are engaged in a struggle for supremacy. So just in terms of quantity for price, Dark Crusade might already be a healthy value. You don't even need the core game(s) unless you want to play with earlier factions online. This applies to the single-player campaign as well as multiplayer.

Not only can you play as the Necrons in the expansion, but also the Tau, and all previous Dawn of War factions. Indeed, the fiction of the tabletop game suggests that the Necrons are so powerful, they're all but guaranteed to grind the rest of the universe into dust.ĭark Crusade fulfills this wish and more. You have to admit - an ancient machine race bent on genocide is an inherently fascinating concept. But since Relic's Dawn of War premiered in 2004, the faction I've always wanted to try was the Necrons. For many it's the Orks for others it could be the Tau or the Space Marines.
