	*'''Tesseract Vault and the Transcendent C'tan''' - They are more or less the same unit, yet come in two flavors: Super-heavy Skimmer and Gargantuan Creature, costing 315 and 420 respectively. The main difference is a BS5 (worse than GC, but this only means you don't get a reroll) 9 HP 14 all-round coat for your otherwise face-eating Transcendent C'tan (WS6 S9 A8 I5 will eat everything in CC, while a T9, W6 and 4++ will keep you save for some time, <s>though be wary around the [[Dark Eldar]] and [[Tyranids]] with their manifold poison weapons</s> poison wounds on a 6+ against GC's. While they both appear cheap they become FAR more expensive with the mandatory powers and Ascendant Powers (weapons) that will cost you AT LEAST 225 additional points. But oh boy can it kick ass, its powers make it far more awesome (note that the Vault cannot take any of these):		*'''Tesseract Vault and the Transcendent C'tan''' - They are more or less the same unit, yet come in two flavors: Super-heavy Skimmer and Gargantuan Creature, costing 315 and 420 respectively.

	::'''Transliminal Stride''' is where it's at. Despite being more expensive than the other two COMBINED, it grants the C'tan a special move: 18" in a straight line, ignoring everything in its way. Oh, and everything passed through gets the D. That is, a SD AP- hit. Sure, it prevents the C'tan from charging in the same turn, but that more than makes up for being able to tell your opponent that two of his Titans just got a D hit.		::'''Transliminal Stride''' is where it's at.

	*'''Deathmarks''' - Deep-striking assassins with rapid-fire 24" sniper rifles. See an enemy unit you don't like? Send the Deathmarks after them and watch them wound on a 2+ against them (If you take one unit, then take 2 instead, since all Deathmark units can wound the marked unit. A relatively cheap way of dealing with problem units without getting your other units tied up after them). Can deep-strike immediately following an enemy ''DURING THEIR TURN.'' But are vulnerable to the enemy unit shooting before they get a chance [not a bad idea if someone deepstrikes a bunch of melta vets/termies behind your armour. Having five deathmarks with hunters from hyperspace appearing from nowhere will give the enemy something extra to think about; like 10 shots that wound on a 2+ and have rending, pinning and precision shots (Sniper USR)]. They're much better in 6e, but why aren't you taking more triarch stalkers?		*'''Deathmarks''' - Deep-striking assassins with rapid-fire 24" sniper rifles. See an enemy unit you don't like?

	**Cheese combo explanation time: Deathmarks allow any members of a Royal Court that join the unit to use the "Hunters from Hyperspace" (HfH) rule (any enemy unit you mark with HfH gets wounded on a 2+. Additionally, if the marked enemy unit is joined by any IC's, they also get wounded on a 2+. It also works the other way around, with a HfH marked IC joining a squad conferring the 2+ wounding to it as well). The cheese comes when a Harbinger of Despair joins the unit of Deathmarks. The default weapon of Harbingers of Despair is the Abyssal Staff, a S8 AP1 flame template weapon that calculates against Leadership rather than Toughness for wounding. However, if the Harbinger is attached to the unit of Deathmarks, any unit marked by HfH it uses the Abyssal Staff against will instead be wounded on a 2+... there is not much that can stand up to a auto-hit AP1 weapon that wounds on a 2+.		**Cheese combo explanation time: Deathmarks allow any members of a Royal Court that join the unit to use the "Hunters from Hyperspace" (HfH) rule (any enemy unit you mark with HfH gets wounded on a 2+.

Also, the hfh rule says when a unit of deatmarks '''deep strikes''' onto the board it marks it's unit, and for the nightmare shroud the wording is instead of moving normally the unit is removed and '''deep strikes''' back onto the board- so deep strike, shoot,repeat
	***Worried about scattering on your deep strike? Drop the veil and put the unit in a Night Scythe. The turn you come in from reserves you can move 24" then disembark 6" and still shoot. You'll have your opponents cowering at the back of the board in future games.		***Worried about scattering on your deep strike? Drop the veil and put the unit in a Night Scythe.

	*'''Imotekh the Stormlord''' - The traditional 200+ point named hero unit. At first glance, he looks fantastic, but most of his abilities are mediocre. Imotekh comes with a 2+ armor save, 3+ invuln save, a Phylactery, and a Gauntlet of Fire. Oh and the Staff of Destroyer, which is a STR 6, AP2 weapon which is fired from a straight 2D6 line from his base! One use only though, so it's not worth it anyway. He can make Flayed Ones deep strike perfectly next to a single enemy unit, which would be great if you could assault after deep striking, but as things stand, Flayed Ones suck and dropping next to any unit will just ensure that they die during your opponents next turn. Imotekh can also summon bolts of lightning down to zap people, but this ability is too random to be of much use. His lightning storm works better in higher points games, but it have two major drawbacks: it would work only while night fight turned on (while your army is mostly shooty) and it would also zzap your allies as well as enemies if you try to bring some searchlight with them. One of his more useful abilities is to always start the game with night fighting turned on, and he can roll to keep it turned on in subsequent turns (unless you're versing Dark Eldar, in which case leave him at home). In addition, he always seizes the Initiative on 4+ except against Orks, who he can't seize Initiative against at all (CUZ GREEN IS BEST, YA GITZ!). He's overall a nasty motherfucker in an army full of nasty motherfuckers, but there's better options for his points. He is considered to be cheese in apocalypse games, however, where his night fighting and lightning bolts can be exploited to far greater effect.		*'''Imotekh the Stormlord''' - The traditional 200+ point named hero unit.
