Warhammer 40k - Death Guard Deathshroud Bodyguard

Deathshroud Terminators are a great unit, and this seller sends them promptly as shown. I love these models. This is the second box I've ordered so I can field six. Two squads of three work too, but sometimes overkill is just fun. I figure I'll try both the squad of six and two of three. These can be led by all the Deathguard Terminator leaders, so Typhus, Chaos Lord in Terminator armor, Sorcerer in Terminator armor, Lord of Contagion, and Lord of Virulence. Nasty fun with deep strike ;) Read the Lords of Silence novel for some DG lore on these. Great unit, great purchase, cool models.

Excellent comme tjrs

son was very happy with this as a Christmas present so it must be good

These 3 Deathshroud Terminators are amazingly sculpted models, relatively easy to put together and with a nice diversity of parts. The big downside to them is they really only serve as a bodyguard to soak hits for Morty or another DG lord. Honestly, they are slow. Imagine how slow you think they are. No, they are slower than that. Averaging 5-6 inches of movement total after advancing, these guys are only getting into melee if your opponent lets that happen. Their plague gauntlets are only 6 inches and 3 strength, so if you don't make contact you're not hurting anything. The reason anyone takes them is that on a 2 plus when something hits Morty, they take the hit instead. You're paying 140-ish points to give Morty 6 wounds worth (maybe 9 at the new codex) +2 saves from shooting. If you plan to plant your flag with Morty and get in the thick of it without moving far from wherever you place him, they are a great pickup to ensure he survives a round of serious shooting. If flinging Morty down the field is the plan, you're either going to need to drop them turn 2 or figure out some way to keep them within 3 inches of their Boss. On their own or with a less valuable character they are just not worth the points.

Arrived on time and in great condition
