This article is about the Deathwing Terminator armour. For other uses of Aegis, see Aegis (disambiguation).

The Deathbringer's Aegis was a suit of Terminator Armour that was worn by the Master of Dark Angels Legion's Deathwing.^[1]

History

It was one of six sets of battle plate crafted to mark the Lion's re-envisioning of the Hexagrammaton, when he joined the Great Crusade. However, the Aegis was one of the few relics of the Hexagrammaton to be forged in the form of Terminator plate, and contained a complex system of neural regulators. It also was installed with medicae infusers taken from among the many relics concealed within the vaults of the Dark Angels. The strength of the armour and its installed relics granted the Masters of the Deathwing the resilience needed to survive the many trials they would face.^[1]

Its helm was known to be shaped as a bestial maw.^[2b]
