I can't say but have you tried www.gamefaqs.com and searched the game? I'm sure there would be a comprehensive analysis of all things to do with the interface on there.

I've played it a bit so feel free to ask me stuff, just don't ask me stuff about the campaign or the tutorial because I didn't play them - just went online.

I don't play Necrons but you need to be wary of getting rushed because Necrons tend to be slower at the start than other races, try and get a warrior squad out fast to prevent your scarabs from getting gayed by marine scouts at the start, and get your lord out fast too to counter their force commander at the start.

Aside from that, remember heavy bolters will rape your warriors so try and stick something in close combat with the heavy bolter unit (such as your lord) and keep your warriors back shooting whilst the marines are engaged in CC, also try and take some scarabs with your warrior squads because scarabs can see infiltrated enemy units, which is handy (especially against Tau pathfinders)

Speaking of Necrons, some screens from a game I had a while ago, three of us decided to play as Imperial Guard vs five Necron players, we were defending some big fortress with six Basilisks (massive artillery tanks) and three Baneblades (think massive artillery tank but even more massive with more guns and fire and big shooty) plus two volcano cannon at the gates, this meant a couple of hours of non-stop huge explosions until we managed to push out of the gates and take out the Necron players, it's not fun to have five Necron lords resurrecting every couple of minutes.
