An elite cadre of warriors within the XIV Legion Astartes, the Deathshroud were chosen by the Primarch Mortarion for their skill at arms, their fearlessness and their proven endurance. They were often selected from Death Guard legionaries who had survived where their comrades had fallen. Each was clad in bronze-chased Terminator plate and armed with a power scythe and the alchem-munitions for which the Death Guard Legion were so darkly famed.
They formed a silent bodyguard for Mortarion and his senior commanders, and in peace or war alike it was said that at least two of their number remained within forty-nine paces of their Primarch at any time. The Deathshroud Terminators contains five finely-detailed multi-part resin models. Rules for using squads of these models in a Death Guard Legion force can be found in The Horus Heresy Book One: Betrayal.
