A sniper role against high-value targets
The Necron faction deep dive names Deathmark sniper units. Deep Silver says they are more than capable of outranging and eliminating enemy commanders and elite infantry from a safe distance. The published role is therefore long-range pressure against named high-value targets, with the source explicitly mentioning commanders and elite infantry rather than every unit type.

The article places Deathmark after the Scarabs example: Scarabs can engage enemy ranged units in melee, while Deathmark units attack commanders and elite infantry from afar. That sequence shows complementary roles inside the Necron description, but it does not state that Deathmark units are protected from every approach or that their range is infinite.
Outranging is not an all-target guarantee
The authority does not publish the exact range, damage, cost, health, reload or counter-unit for Deathmark. It does not describe the units’ performance against structures, vehicles or ordinary infantry. The phrase safe distance is part of the publisher’s description, not proof that the unit cannot be reached or that the same setup works on every map.

The composition mistake is to read a sniper role as a universal answer. Deathmark units are confirmed as named Necron sniper units with a published commander-and-elite-infantry focus. Their exact production timing, survivability, upgrades and counterplay remain unconfirmed before release.
