Formerly the Shock forces of the Necron during the war in heaven, the Estomik Dynasty centralize around small but elite forces whose mobility and power put most other races to shame. The Deathmarks of the Estomik form an elite force that when allowed to by their lords can devastate entire armies with but a few well placed shots. However as 'caretakers' of the lesser races the Estomik often find their lords attempting to "teach" honor to the inferior races of the galaxy and thus refusing to use the Dynasties true power against a foe that would normally be simple to defeat.
