Warhammer 40,000: Deathshroud Bodyguard Chaos Death Guard (3 Models)

Death Follows in Their Wake

Few units in the 41st Millennium inspire the same creeping dread as the Deathshroud. These towering, plague-touched warriors have stood at Mortarion's side since the Horus Heresy — silent, implacable, and utterly devoted to death's work. On the tabletop, they bring that same oppressive presence: slow-moving walls of diseased ceramite that shrug off punishment that would annihilate lesser troops, closing the distance until their great scythes swing and the killing begins.

What You Get

Games Workshop's Deathshroud Bodyguard kit gives you three multi-part plastic miniatures packed with the grimdark character Death Guard collectors have come to expect. Each model is a hulking Terminator-armoured champion of Nurgle, armed with a Plaguespurt gauntlet and a massive Manreaper scythe. The kit includes options for a sergeant-equivalent and enough variety in posing and detail to make each model feel distinct within the unit. Pitted, bloated armour; drooping plague censers; and the kinds of surface details that reward patient painters — this kit delivers all of it. These are showcase-quality miniatures that look as menacing when displayed on a shelf as they do anchoring a Death Guard army list.

Who This Kit Is For

This box is aimed at Warhammer 40,000 players building or expanding a Death Guard faction, though veteran hobbyists who simply enjoy painting elite infantry with elaborate detail will find plenty to love here regardless of whether they ever play a game. The three-model count makes this a focused, high-impact unit rather than a rank-and-file grind — ideal for experienced painters who want a centrepiece unit, or newer hobbyists ready to level up their skills on something with real visual payoff. Assembly requires plastic glue and basic modelling tools; painting, as always, is part of the journey.

Highlights Worth Noting

The Deathshroud have been a fan-favourite unit since the Death Guard range's major refresh, and it's easy to see why — the sculpts carry genuine menace without tipping into caricature. The Manreaper scythes are dramatic and deeply satisfying to paint. As elite infantry in-game, the unit punches well above its model count, making it both a hobby investment and a meaningful addition to competitive and narrative play alike. Models are supplied unpainted and unassembled; paints and glue sold separately.
