So does this mean every single one of them could be a Commissar?

[@elysiankentarchy1531]

Better way to put it is that they have actually executed their own commissars for lack of discipline or cowardice or failure to lead by example, but if it is a lesser offensive the commissar will just face some form of disciplinary action. Yes, they are that extreme which is why the soldiers of the Imperium are thanking the Emperor that they got commissars instead of Mordians. Overall the Mordians, like the Death Korps, are one of those groups that don't need a commissar for the usual reason but instead to keep their quirks in check and prevent them from fighting other regiments. For the former point the Commissar is supposed to prevent the Death Korps from charging at inopportune times and they stick to the battle plan, for the Mordians it is they follow a changing battle plan and move positions when it will be most opprotune. For the regiment fighting well picture these stuck up folks in the same room as the Catachans. Yeah, won't be pretty.

[@kristopherruiz7644]

They'd make poor Commisars do to their lack of flexible tactics or Command experience. Imagine it this way, think how effect would Blood Angels be if their only object after orbital strike via drop pod was to defend the heavy bolter servitor on the drop pod? Not very. That would be an Iron Guard Commisar in charge of a Stormtrooper regiment, like the Elysians or the Cadians. You need to taylor your tactics to the battlefield scenario to be an effective officer in the Astra Militarum.

[@mr.badguy8500]

Elysian Kentarchy except for a collision course like that you would need an Adeptus Custodes to keep the Catachan and the Mordians from killing each other, as both regiments are notorious for eliminating Commissars.

[@bladestormviking]

@@mr.badguy8500 look at the kinds of jobs Catachan Devils do, Commissars aren't built or needed for that. as for the Mordians, we've already established that they make the most staunch of Commissars go ".....fucking prudes, will you lighten up?!" it would be counterproductive to even bother with commissariat details in regiments already known to be THIS loyal and effective.

okay, something bothering me for decades now : since Mordian witnessed a Chaos invasion, under strict Inquisition rule it should have been under Exterminatus order. But the 5th IG codex does as if Mordian Iron Guard went on unaffected ... - is the Exterminatus order something "of the past" in the 40th millenium, as higher ups in the Imperium realized it was highly ineffective ? - was Mordian in fact wiped out ? - did the inquisition "save" the IG and brainwash it for further use ? ( I remember somewhere that only valuable Astartes can be brainwashed instead of being terminated after having fought the Chaos - but this was so stupid I couldn't believe it) - or is it simply because Matt Ward ?

[@MortusVanDerHell]

An Exterminatus is the last option - and Mordia was practically worthless economically at that point and strategically useless as a staging area for another advance because of its particular climate on the planet. Death planets make bad places to gather large forces, as half are dead before the last squad can even land. Accordingly, I assume that the Exterminatus bombs, their transport to Mordia with the corresponding fleet and the battle in orbit to be able to drop them would have cost the Inquisition more than Mordia and the interruption of chaos would have been worth at that point. Perhaps there were simply no suitably equipped ships in the vicinity and they had to be requisitioned first - although in the meantime the Iron Guard had already solved the problem.

[@Hesric]

Music was a nice addition. You should add more provided that it is that low-tune.

[@chickencurry420]

How the Iron Guard plays Good Cop, Bad Cop: First cop comes flyin through the door and kicks you right in the jaw. He then forces you to play Russian Roulette and takes his first turn right in front of you. And if this doesn't get you to confess, they bring in Bad Cop

[@robro2214]

The death corps would get along well with the iron gaurd

[@akriegguardsman5238]

Nah the'd try to report us for having too much mud on us

[@jewell278]

Right Arch, I'm sat ready to do some painting. FEED MY BRAIN!

[@somebodyoncetoldme5203]

when are we getting the video for the Death Corps of Krieg?

[@industrialcamo]

Cool that you added background ambience again! :D

[@alexjonezNH]

Just Wanted to say that your videos are what finally got me to take the dive into the huge library of 40k games! I may not always agree with some of the more real life political opinions in videos you've posted in the past, but damned if I'm not excited every time I see a new video pop up in my notifications!

[@Αντωνηςλιυδακης]

Bear yes he is a liberal

[@RichardVarnegan]

I told the Ferret analogy to my dad 3 years ago…. He found it hilarious.

[@alexandarvoncarsteinzarovi3723]

The Napoleonic armies of the 40th millennium, quite literally and figuratively! :D Catachan Jungle Fighters, Armaggedons Steel Legion & Death Guard of Krieg for life,

[@Memento--Mori]

Catachans are Vietnam War U.S. Marines. What a great regiment.

[@alexandarvoncarsteinzarovi3723]

They eat orcs for breakfast & tyranids for desert, Sly Marbo & Yarrick have brunch

[@CryingZombie666]

Well, also the Valhallan Ice Warriors and Cadian Shock Troops eat daemons and Traitor Marines for dinner xD

[@alexandarvoncarsteinzarovi3723]

Cadia..yah..space hobos now...wait...that means...HOLY FUCKIG TERRA....Cadia is only a short couple of light years Warp jumps, like 4 months from the Albion System in the Ultima Segmentum, that is my home terf, oh shit was getting more refugees, just what the sector needs, more people! For some reason, that side of the galaxy has a very strong connection with the light of the Astronomican

[@CryingZombie666]

Big E works in mysterious ways, y'know.

[@ТониславИванов-ф1л]

Finally! Some 40k lore is well recieved keep up the great work and the 40k content arch!

[@makebritaingreatagain2613]

4:29 Somalia? De Mordian Iron Guard know de way.

[@QixTheDS]

Think you got the country wrong

[@andilucas6926]

This regiment's 'Kadavergehorsamkeit' (unthinking obedience) would already have been considered obsolete in German military thinking during the 19th Century. In WW1 it became glaringly obvious that commanders at every level down to NCO section leaders had to be able to exercise initiative if necessary, as the chain of command simply could not react quickly enough during battle even when it wasn't broken completely by enemy action.

[@undertakernumberone1]

Krieg please!

[@CryingZombie666]

Death ( Metal ) Korps of Krieg!! \m/

[@sircashew1097]

When the Chaos goes in to invade Mordia but find Stalingrad instead

[@arandomcrusader-9355]

[@Andrew2002-i7e]

[@ABorderPrince]

A Random Crusader - purge them all! Imperator volt!

[@arandomcrusader-9355]

[@arandomcrusader-9355]

ABorder Prince DEUS VULT

[@nickdahl203]

That's a strange way to spell Ultramarines.

[@Inherent_Deterrent]

just started painting and an arch lore video gets dropped. just made my evening

19:47 - 24:50 do I salute or do I smash until she’s stumbling all over the parade ground so much that stick is dislodged?

[@ironstarofmordian7098]

Smash and smash hard. Smash her like a heavy Kagori did to the Vraks.

[@kraigshall]

Porque la stos?

[@neiabaraja8040]

So a Mordian, a Cadian, and a Kriegsman walked into a bar...

[@ABorderPrince]

Nice man but praetorians are better ;)

[@yochaiwyss3843]

Rule Preatoria, Preatoria rules the Space!

[@Teno2001]

No death Korps are best.

[@alexandarvoncarsteinzarovi3723]

Catachan Jungle Fighters, for the win!

[@JacatackLP]

All pale before the Gue'vesa! FOR THE GREATER GOOD

[@Αντωνηςλιυδακης]

ABorder Prince frei corps are the best

[@xizorx4]

A new 40 minute Arch lore video just as I am sitting down to start painting my first ever 40k army - absolutely perfect timing.

[@warbossgrimdakka5401]

Filip Hammer ooh, what army?

[@xizorx4]

The Black Templars :)

[@KingQwertzlbrmpf]

I know just the place that could use a company of Morian Iron Guard. Gotham city. Within a couple weeks of them stationed there Batman would either be jobless or dead. Probably both.

[@TheManofthecross]

that until the crooks find out the morian weakness and go for there officers first etc make it fluid on them and then pick them off one by one. though a better place that can use them is the southern border and the sanctuary cities run by the regressive democrats and the left let them lose on those places and in weeks they will make those cities counties and states red in every way including political and the southern border for a long while safe and secured though at the price of the UN and international outrage and America's enemies using this for there propaganda campagins. unless you sick the morians on them to shut them up that is.

[@AnotherfromEngland]

Great vid arch, cant wait for the next guard regiment.

[@Markos_Malitsos]

The Iron guard uniform looks remarkably similar the USMC uniform. Obviously it's not.. but it looks similar.

[@zauni-mm4wx]

Just seen this , little late i know, love this lore vid man, specially as ner every peace of art has Female Gard depicted, And what with the lastest fuss it's just another poke in the eye for those ppl, Great vid man

[@tylerr377]

The American national guard... in spess

[@commissarrobertson4779]

Emir Wat Tambor no actually they were designed based upon the French foreign legion

[@arandomcrusader-9355]

Commissar Robertson Then why haven't they surrendered yet?

[@Memento--Mori]

More like U.S. Marines in Dress Blues. Catachan... well those are Vietnam War U.S. Marines.

[@seantaylor6339]

The French foreign legion is where French keeps all the bagasses, all of them foreigners obviously.

[@seantaylor6339]

*Badasses

[@potandpoliticswithmr.broph1420]

I'd like to see Iron Guard vs Death Korps of Krieg in a "pill box assault "derby.

[@ironstarofmordian7098]

Death Korps wins. Assaults like that are they're stick.

[@ahha623]

And defending is the Guards. better equipment, better armour and hold the title Elite. while i do agree Krieg are good not everyone of there soldiers holds the title Elites. while the Mordians soldier do, the side would heavily favour the Mordians on all the tables. except numbers, Krieg at least has that going for them.

[@jesusgasperi123456]

mord sounds like venezuela (venezuelan here)

[@Αντωνηςλιυδακης]

jesusgasperi123456 sosialism works hahahahahahahahahahaha

[@jesusgasperi123456]

yes now excuse me im gonna continue being hungry good times

[@vraska8799]

maybe getting a job would help more than complaining

[@jesusgasperi123456]

maybe that's already done maybe its not enough ya dum dum

[@jesusgasperi123456]

and food and electricity? well you get up like at 4 or so in the morning all days also internet its cheap because its own by the government its the worst also acquiring basic necessity goods its the problem since they are so expensive all of your money goes to those expenses an you have no more u can not save for any thing else and if u have its an o shit button also if u have money in the bank the government can take it "for the good of the people"

[@cswagerrt]

music was rather good in all honesty and made the sporadic vulgarities even more effective

[@Cpt0bviouss]

these guys versus Antifa. Please, god-emperor...

[@elasolezito]

Still not grim enough ending.

[@thatoneinfidel5481]

tudor strateanu antifa would have no survivers...I like this idea

[@carsoncasmirri3874]

tudor strateanu emperor have mercy on those tau loving bastards because the Mordians sure as shit won't

[@codyconnor6981]

Better ideas: a group of feminists vs a contingent of S.O.B, and Antifa vs the Inquisition.

[@Fuyu_Sei12]

Cody Connor there will be nothing left but ashes

[@DarkSolace33]

MUSIC IS BACK! YAY!
