Due to their nature as agents of assassination and ambush, the ancient codes dictate that Deathmarks cannot be deployed against nobility or other "honourable" races. This matters little however, as [[Necrons]] consider most alien foes to be not worthy, unless they prove otherwise on the battlefield. Since almost no one has lived to tell the tale of a Deathmark attack however, this gives all save the more traditional [[Nemesor]]s free reign to deploy them against any alien they wish.{{Fn|2}}
When fighting, Deathmarks utilize their [[Hyperspace Oubliette]]s to reside in a pocket dimension; a hyperspace between now and then, and can from here observe the battlefield, and even tap into enemy transmissions, only to materialize and strike when they deem the opportunity to be right, or from orders of their commander. When a target has appeared, they exit their dimension and place a mark in the shape of a green halo over the head of their target, which allows them to track it no matter where it runs - hence their name.{{Fn|2}}
Deathmarks who fall to the [[Destroyer Cult|Destroyer curse]] are known as [[Hexmark Destroyer]]s.{{Fn|3}}
