IGN (http://pc.ign.com/articles/723/723163p1.html) has posted a new featurette delving into the new Necron faction in the upcoming expansion pack for the Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War. Any of those fo you familiar to the table-top game will know that the Necron faction has always had the unique ability to revive its fallen foot-troops. Of course the video game adaption must include this important feature but tuning the ability to create a balanced strategy game can be a challenge.
In the game their will be timers and special units for reviving soldiers. Your typical warrior usually takes only a few minutes to collect itself and get back into the battle. However, the a unit can only revive itself so many times until another unit is required to revive them. This unit is called the Tomb Spyder. The Tomb Spyder is a melee vehicle that can do serious damage in its own right. But the Tomb Spyder also has the ability to gather the individual parts of destroyed Necrons, and reassemble them into functional units.
This expansion looks promising. Especially since the original game was so polished upon its release.
