== Overview ==
Even when they existed as the [[Necrontyr]] in flesh bodies, Deathmarks had a reputation for precision and patience. During [[Biotransference]] they were given more sophisticated bodies, making the cognitively superior to standard [[Necron Warrior]]s and [[Necron Immortal|Immortals]] but still below that of [[Necron Overlord|Overlords]], [[Necron Lord|Lords]], [[Cryptek]]s, etc.{{Fn|5}} Like most Necrons, their technology lies far beyond the realm of mortal comprehension and they can effectively slip in and out of dimensions at will. Their victims will assume that they have been ambushed, and that the Deathmarks [[teleport]]ed onto the battlefield. The reality is that they were already there, waiting for just the right moment to lay their trap and catch their prey with their [[Synaptic Disintegrator]] rifles.{{Fn|1}}
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}}
