Editing Grave Warden (section)

==Overview==
Originally used as an informal name for variously armed battalions of Death Guard [[Terminator]]s in the service of Calas Typhon on the ''Terminus Est'', they soon became synonymous with the Legion's chemical weapon-equipped Terminators.

The Grave Wardens were outfitted in specially modified [[Cataphractii Pattern Terminator Armour|Cataphractii Terminator Armour]] meant to keep them from being killed by their own weapons. This was necessary because where the XIV Legion's Destroyer Marines "just" used rad and phosphex, the Grave Wardens didn't limit themselves to only two kinds of war-crime weaponry and made frequent use of brutal alchemical and biological weapons such as [[Grenades & Explosives#Phosphex Bomb|Phosphex Bombs]], the flesh-eating Vasgotox virus, and deadly Cullgene gas. Grave Wardens were specially equipped with [[Grenade Launcher|Astartes Grenade Launchers]] to disperse these deadly weapons over the battlefield as well as continually emitting them with the exclusive [[Death Cloud Projector]]s built into their armour. They typically carried a [[Power Fist]] or [[Chainfist]] as their close-combat weapon, while the sergeants often carried a [[Power Weapon#Power Scythes|Power Scythe]] as well as a [[Combi-Plasma]].

They were ultimately unleashed upon loyalist Imperial forces during the Horus Heresy and wreaked havoc on dozens of planets during the war. 

It is unknown what happened to them post-Heresy, although some suggest that they became the modern [[Blightlord Terminators]].
