1. Brand some captains who aren't bodyguards to the Warchief you are aiming for and have them go through the initiation to become his bodyguard.
2. Find that Warchief's current body guards and brand them. Now have him Betray his master. Thanks to Mauriz1o for confirming Betraying also works!
Once you have five Captains branded and counted as that Warchief's bodyguards (You can check by selecting the Warchief in the Sauron's Army menu and see if the five bodyguards that connect to him are the ones you branded), start the mission to kill him. You'll have to complete some side objective to draw him out. Or if you're having his bodyguards betray him, he'll automatically be out in the field. When he shows up, I made sure to run up to him and have him recognize me and do his little intro. Last, just press Up on the D-pad and the five captains around him will begin to attack. The achievement should pop a few seconds after you press Up on the D-pad.

( For myself I chose a Warchief that I had already branded. You have to hit up on the D pad in order for the achievement to unlock if the Warchief is branded. The steps are the same)

-Basically pick a warchief, the more body guards he has the better, because it will save you some work. Your goal is to make that warchief have 5 branded bodyguards.
-Choose any existing bodyguards he currently has and brand them.
-Then go and start branding other Uruk captains, completing their initiation missions, and repeating this until your chosen warchief has the needed 5 bodyguards.
When you complete the final initiation mission and you have attained your fifth bodyguard, grab him and command him to betray his warchief.
Note: you can make branded Uruks who are currently bodyguards to other warchiefs become bodyguards for your current chosen warchief instead.
-Find the betrayal mission that would have just popped up on the map and enter it.
When your branded bodyguard betrays the warchief, press
on the D-pad to cause the remaining 4 bodyguards to betray the warchief as well, thus netting you your trophy.PowerPyx has a good video guide that I used to earn this trophy.

Before attempting this achievement, you must first unlock the "Brand" and "Command" abilities in the missions "Queen of the Shore" and "The Power of the Wraith." These two abilities unlock naturally during the aforementioned story missions.
This achievement is best described when broken down into five distinct steps. First, hunt down five different Uruk Captains and command each one of them to "Infiltrate" the same exact Warchief. This creates a Power Struggle Mission (represented by a blue Power Struggle icon) to prove their worth. Next, complete all five of their Power Struggle Missions and make sure your branded Captain comes out alive and well.
After doing all five missions, open the "Sauron's Army" screen and target the Warchief you chose before; the five Captains from before will now be connected to him as bodyguards. Finally, you will want to track down and fight the Warchief. In combat, press 
and your branded Captains will turn on their own Warchief. As soon as this happens, the achievement will immediately unlock.

Bodyguards are merely captains that will protect a Warchief after he has been drawn out. To see which Captains are bodyguards for a Warchief, identify the Warchief and follow the blue lines to the individual captains. Each blue line signifies a bodyguard. You can also see the total number of bodyguards a Warchief has by zooming in on him and looking at the bodyguards total.
It is unlikely that a Warchief will have all 5 bodyguards by default—usually they have 2 or 3—so you will have to brand a Captain or two and help them infiltrate the Warchief’s group. Find the Warchief that currently has the most bodyguards out of the available Warchiefs and make him your intended target.
Warchief that already has 4 Bodyguards. Perfect target for the trophy.
Now identify a Captain and proceed to brand it. After branding him grab and hold him with
, press 
and order him to join the Warchief you have chosen and begin an Initiation to be a bodyguard. The Captain will then begin a Recruitment Power Struggle that he must pass to join the Warchief. Find it on the map and assist him by killing three sets of Uruk Soldiers that oppose him, which can be identified by a yellow mark over their heads.Using the bow to kill each set of 5 is the easiest method, but it doesn’t matter if you are seen so long as your branded Captain doesn’t get too low on health or die.

After the Warchief has a total of 5 branded Bodyguards, command one of them to betray the Warchief. This will allow you to bypass the draw out mission and go straight to the fight. Once he arrives with his bodyguards, press
on the d-pad to turn the bodyguards on him and subsequently unlock the trophy.

and they all died. The trophy fell out.1) Branded the leader I liked and his three bodyguards;
2) He branded three bodyguards of the victim leader;
3) I ordered my leader to attack the doomed man - there was a massacre, 2 leaders and 6 captains, almost all of whom were my slaves.
with 4 branded bodyguards, I simply attacked the leader... (the 5th was caught not by a bodyguard, but by a simply branded captain in the battle area)
