So I've tried this list out and it's actually quite amazing.
5 Deathmarks 95pts
7 Scarabs 105pts
My leader is a Deathmark with the Feel no Pain specialty and my other two specialists are a scarab with "it will not die" and one with "fleshbane"
In a 1 to 1 skirmish game, scarabs are brutal and at 15pts a base and 4 attacks/ 3 wounds each they're at least a great tarpit while my snipers get in a good position.
I'm not entirely sure if the Deathmarks' "hunters from outer space" special rule applies to a single model or an entire unit, but I've played both ways and at 200pts I can wipe out deathstar units fairly easily.
So far they've wiped the floor with a 5 man tactical marine squad with a dreadnought (heavy flamer), and a tyranid hormagaunt swarm with Doom leading the way.
