Each fact stays attached to the source that states it. No statistic is inferred from an image or an earlier game.
The role, in context
Doomstalkers are colossal Necron constructs equipped with Doomsday Blasters. The faction preview presents them as imposing war machines that bring explosive battlefield firepower, placing them among the specialised threats within a slow but resilient army. That establishes their scale, faction, weapon and broad combat identity without defining a target class. The article does not publish their cost, production structure, range, movement speed, armour, squad size, firing pattern, damage, ability list or interaction with the Power Matrix. Their supported role stops at heavy explosive pressure.
What is documented over time
Doomstalkers appear in the Necron faction reveal as one expression of the army’s intimidating arsenal of war machines. They are introduced after the preview explains how cheaper Scarabs can occupy enemy ranged units and how Deathmarks pressure valuable personnel, giving the roster several distinct battlefield functions. The Doomsday Blaster is the only named equipment detail for the construct. This is current design framing, not balance history. No earlier build, changed weapon, revised role, previous-game comparison, patch adjustment or version-specific statistic is documented.
How it is presented in play
The official preview supports a deliberately broad use case: Doomstalkers supply explosive firepower through their Doomsday Blasters. It does not name a preferred target category, state that they operate at a particular distance or connect them to a formation, Commander or Matrix effect. A player can therefore recognise them as a heavy Necron combat asset without assuming how they should be deployed. No firing sequence, upgrade choice, escort, positioning rule or production timing is published, so a careful guide cannot turn their spectacle into a build or rotation.
What you can — and cannot — conclude
The common mistake is to infer a complete weakness from the Doomstalker’s size or from familiarity with similarly named units elsewhere. The qualified article says what weapon it carries and describes explosive battlefield force, but it does not publish armour interactions, vulnerable states, movement limitations, minimum range or an opposing unit category. General advice for fighting Necrons cannot be presented as a Doomstalker-specific counter. The accurate response is identification of the documented threat, without inventing a damage type, flank, target priority or guaranteed method of removal.
