I was wondering how the necron Deathmarks hunters from hyperspace rule would work in kill teams, I just am not sure so I figured I would ask hopefully someone has an idea.

was you in Oxford Street - Games workshop? There was a similar problem the same day you posted

Nope, in in south dakota

What do you mean by "Kill Teams"?

And anyway, the Hunters From Hyperspace rule will apply to any models that have joined the Deathmark unit. (I like Harbingers of Despair, myself)

I'm going from memory on Kill teams rule here since I can't find my book of it, so I'm not sure if I'm right. In kill team the unit that the player chooses to field must be deployed as a group, and then splits up on the first turn.

For the Deathmarks, they will mark one unit before the first turn since they are deployed as a unit on the table. The squad then breaks into individual units, but they have already been marked hence would be subject to the rule. The reason behind this is that if the enemy models have a special rule they still maintain those special rules when they split, keep in mind there are certain caveats that disagree with this such as Exarch powers for example. However, the problem is if you are forced to deploy first. The Deathmarks are unable to use their rule because when they are deployed there are no enemy units to nominate, hence they don't get to mark a unit.

Kill teams is when you put a bunch of different models together to make a team.

1 Deathmark doesn't make a unit. So a unit of deathmarks is not what you have in kill teams.

Actually that's not quite true, kill teams are comprised of a full unit from any codex. More can be added of course, but it's not "a bunch of different models together" as you put it. With the deathmark rule, any unit of deathmarks benefit from it, not just the unit that nominates them.

I don't think the question is who would benefit from it, I think the question is who is affected. Does the entire enemy unit get marked, or just 1 model?

I guess I didn't make it very clear. When you mark a unit the unit has a special rule imposed upon them. When the enemy splits the unit, the unit does not lose any special rules that it already had, even if the special rule (the marker) is forced on the unit.

That means that each individual member that was part of the unit when the mark was put on them, is still considered to be marked.

Well Killteam doesn't use regular rules so to be fair i'd say only the Deathmark gets to wound on a 2+ and it should be one model type. So for example if you played a Space marine with 4 scouts and 3 space marines the Deathmark would mark one of those for the 2+ wound.
