The proverbial and literal lovechild between a Deathmark, a Destroyer and a six-armed Western gunslinger. These bad brotherfuckers are armed with six Enmitic Disintegrator Pistols to proverbially fuck shit up whilst looking cool at doing it.

Hexmark Destroyers are six-armed Necron Deathmarks who are part of the Destroyer Cult and want nothing more than to kill everything around them. In battle, they burst from their dimensional oubliettes, and the Destroyers' corrupted engrams aid them in targeting and dispatching nearby enemies in a hail of enmitic disintegrator fire.

Seeing as how they are Deathmarks who had fallen to the Destroyer curse, the Hexmark Destroyer takes the Deathmarks’ propensity for surprise attacks to epic levels.

Sad Destroyer Crunch

You'd think with a design this cool and a model this hyped up by the community, it couldn't be complete trash. And yet.

The Hexmark has a solid frame, pristine 2+ ballistic skill and rerolls on your 1s for good measure. Even in melee he isn't bad with 3+ weapon skill and 4 attacks. Here's the thing : his weapon is trash. Sadly, our boy is the proof that you cannot in fact give the ultimate gunslinger terrible guns and have him perform.

With him, you get 6 pistols which are each S6 AP-1 and 1 lonely damage. Since he doesn't have a melee weapon either, his hits are gonna be S5 AP-0 damage 1 as well. His rule of getting an extra shot off if he kills a unit is cute, but seldom going to come into play. And Necrons just don't have problems dealing with hordes with their basic units.

Hitting things is not the issue with him, it's that his best case damage against low toughness, low save models is relatively alright. But against Primaris ? He averages less than two wounds. This is for a model which cannot be taken in squads and takes up the extremely valuable elite slot (incredibly crowded in 9th edition). Hopefully he can get improvements in future erratas.

• Counter point, sure he isnt going to earn his points back very well against marines but marines arent really his target anyway his targets is squishy stuff like guardsmen, direavengers/guardians and firewarriors. Its fate will very much depend on the ebbs and flows of the meta, and he could become a valuable source of buffs (being a character means he can dispense Command Protocols) and damage in some lists.
