Their numbers were chosen from amongst the ranks of the Death Guard Legion and each member was singled out and personally selected by their primarch for the bravery and valour they had displayed in combat. Great secrecy surrounded this elite cadre. Veteran Sergeant Khorak, a Deathshroud Terminator at the time of the Horus Heresy in modified Tartaros Pattern Terminator Armour armed with a Manreaper and an unidentified wrist-mounted Hand Flamer which projects chem-munitions of unspecified nature.ĭuring the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy eras, the Deathshroud were the elite Space Marines of the Death Guard Legion who served as the Primarch Mortarion's mute Honour Guard. The Deathshroud fight in ominous silence, uttering no battle cry and rising to no challenge, embodying the faceless, wordless onset of inescapable death as their shadows fall across their enemies. They rarely speak but to convey Mortarion's commands, and when they do so their voices emerge as a rattling hiss. The Deathshroud are the handpicked champions of Mortarion, his dark emissaries, and wherever they go they bear the authority of their gene-sire with them. Yet it is not merely their abilities in battle that make them so feared.
The warriors of the Deathshroud are sublimely skilled, whirling and striking with a speed that belies their massive, distended frames. Clouds of plague flies boil around the Deathshroud, while vile smog spills from vents in their armour to choke and blind their foes. Rusted gauntlets and squirming tentacles clutch huge battle scythes known as Manreapers, cursed weapons that slice heads from shoulders and limbs from torsos with every swing. Swollen with unnatural power, the Deathshroud tower over their enemies. The Deathshroud, or Deathshroud Terminators, known as the "Pale Harvestmen," the "Scythes of Nurgle" and the "Eyes of Mortarion," are Chaos Terminators of the Death Guard Traitor Legion who serve as the Daemon Primarch Mortarion's elite warriors.Įvery one of these plague-ridden Heretic Astartes are redolent with a miasma of fear and menace.
