Sixty million years ago, when the Necrontyr were still made of meat and blood, the Deathmarks did more or less exactly what they do now: appear from the shadows, kick the fuck out of their target, and then leave.

But military honor tradition among the Necrontyr impose harsh restrictions upon the deployment of Deathmark squads. Among each other and any 'honorable' alien opponents, Deathmarks are taboo.

	On the tabletop, Deathmarks are your long-ranged infantry standard (sorry destroyers, not this edition), serving up character-exclusion zones and supporting fire. Don't sleep on them; unlike earlier editions Deathmarks are now priced to move, and they're just as tough as immortals. Their secret sauce is a deep-strike: vanilla, where you drop them on some objective and start cracking BS 2+ shots at some poor devastators, or [[Cheese\|delicious]] chocolate, where they appear in response to an enemy deep-striker and start dropping fools in the enemy's movement phase. Warning, this doesn't work against space marine drop pods; against GW's precious little snowflakes you're forced to fire at the pod rather than its cream filling. But anybody else, especially some [[Terminators\|low-wound high-save]] specialists? Food.

	Deathmarks don't deploy to the field of battle with the rank and file; instead, these cyclopean ~~murder~~-~~bots~~ spend their time in the inter-dimensional break room watching their intended target on 4-dimensional wide screen monitors and doing fuck all until the commander summons them, or whenever the fuck they feel like doing something. Typically they are left to their own devices, the nobility having great faith in their long practiced art of death.

	Where the [[Necron Immortal\|Immortals]] are the [[Necron]]s' Shock troopers who supply heavy fire power, the '''Deathmarks''' bring elite, surgical threat removal to the board. Sixty million years ago, when the Necrontyr were still made of meat and blood, the Deathmarks did more or less exactly what they do now: appear from the shadows, kick the fuck out of their target, and then leave. The Deathmarks received high-quality shells during bio-transference, and thus have remained largely unchanged through the millennia. But military honor tradition among the Necrontyr impose harsh restrictions upon the deployment of Deathmark squads. Among each other and any 'honorable' alien opponents, Deathmarks are taboo. But most [[Necron Overlord\|Overlords]] see other races as ignoble and inferior, so few balk at the idea of deploying the assassins, except for [[Nemesor Zahndrekh]]; the crazy old coot won't use Deathmarks against anyone, because they're all Necrontyr to him.

	~~Deathmarks don't deploy to the field of battle with the rank and file; instead, these cyclopean laser-rapebots spend~~ their ~~time in the inter-dimensional break room watching their intended~~ target on 4-dimensional wide screen monitors and doing fuck all until the commander summons them, or whenever the fuck they feel like doing something. Typically they are left to their own devices, the nobility having great faith in their long practiced art of death. Once it's ~~time~~ to ~~get shit done, they place a hovering green halo of light on the head of their target or targets, thus the name Death'''marks'''~~. ~~This mark lasts about one hour, but given their dimension-hopping abilities~~ that~~'s usually more than enough time~~.		Also their guns [[Awesome\|cause a target's molecules to explosively repel each other]]. Don't like that dumb new primaries fancypants? Turn his forehead into a bomb.

	On the ~~tabletop~~, ~~Deathmarks operate best~~ in ~~smaller squads~~. ~~If you have 10~~, ~~field 2 squads~~ of ~~five instead of 1 squad of 10~~. ~~That way you can make better use of your firepower~~, ~~because the turn these guys [[Deep Strike]]~~ they ~~wound EVERYTHING~~ on ~~a 2+~~ their ~~other special rule is~~ '''~~Ethereal Interception~~''', which allows any unit of Deathmarks in reserves to immediately come in via [[Deep Strike]] in response to any enemy unit coming in from reserve. They can do this on the enemy turn. Space marines [[Drop Pod]] in? Interception. [[Creed]] outflank some [[Baneblade]]s on you? interception. [[Stormraven]]-~~dropped [[Terminators]] got you down? Intercept~~ that ~~shit~~. On ~~top of all that juicy goodness~~,~~if they [Deep Strike] during~~ your ~~enemy's turn you can SHOOT DURING THEIR SHOOTING PHASE~~ (~~but you can~~'t ~~shoot~~ on ~~your next one~~, ~~to solve the hits~~ just ~~do like in close combat solving all the attacks~~, and ~~then removing models from play) their 24 inch range sniper rifles are Rapid Fire~~, ~~a level of shootiness so~~ [[Cheese\|delicious]] ~~that 6th ed Tau ripped it off as soon as~~ they ~~saw it~~. ~~For 18 points a model~~ you ~~better goddamn field~~ some ~~Deathmarks, unless having 3~~ [[~~C'tan~~]] ~~Shards is the only thing that does it for you anymore~~.

			On the tabletop, Deathmarks are your long-ranged infantry standard (sorry destroyers, not this edition), serving up character-exclusion zones and supporting fire. Don't sleep on them; unlike earlier editions Deathmarks are now priced to move, and they're just as tough as immortals. Their secret sauce is a deep-strike: vanilla, where you drop them on some objective and start cracking BS 2+ shots at some poor devastators, or [[Cheese\|delicious]] chocolate, where they appear in response to an enemy deep-striker and start dropping fools in the enemy's movement phase. Warning, this doesn't work against space marine drop pods; against GW's precious little snowflakes you're forced to fire at the pod rather than its cream filling. But anybody else, especially some [[Terminators\|low-wound high-save]] specialists? Food.
