Thank you so much for doing a piece on the Mordians. They remind me of my cousin's old regiment, the US 3rd Inf "Old Guard": yes, they're picked in part for height and do formal drill and ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier & such... but there's also a particular intelligence requirement and they guard the Pentagon. It was wise of Al-Queda to not try a ground assault.

[@inquisitorgarza312]

The Iron Guard have been an example of discipline and control as they will never break out of formation or their morale as proven on numberless battles and wars throughout their service within the Imperium. They may look like toy soldiers who are dressed for a parade rather than the brutal war zones of the Galaxy, but in truth they use this image to confused their enemies and reveal that they are just as effective as any Guard Regiment, and they are known for beating traitors space marines in battles without them breaking at all.

Finally. The Mordians are literally just US Marines that liked their Dress Blues so much that they never bothered upgrading to camouflage. "Blend? We want the enemy to see us coming"

[@semicollin4517]

As an Active Duty US Marine I appreciate your comparison.

[@cyberdiver7076]

I think they're french and the colour of their uniform is a homage to the horizon blue camouflage during the first world war.

[@stillcantbesilencedevennow]

@@cyberdiver7076 I think they're closer to the Austrians and Germans tbh. The french aren't exactly known for their morale. No offense to France, she was a beastly creature at one point, and has had amazing victories in it's past. I respect France, and what it was once before. Tbf, that's how I look at all nations anymore, tarnished gems ruined by poor maintenance and abuse.

[@urielbermoy3500]

@@stillcantbesilencedevennow I think the original comparison to the USMC is the most accurate, especially when you take the mental aspects into account. The USMC isn't necessary, it only exists because of its reputation. There was even a period of time when the Corps was disbanded. Just like the Mordians, the USMC is reliant on reputation to stay alive, the difference being one fights for their world not being dropped and the other their Corps not being dropped. On top of that, a lot of the imagery is almost a carbon copy of USMC recruitment posters, especially from around WWI-WWII. The Corps is also famous for its urban operations particularly from Vietnam into modern campaigns (think Fallujah). The only real differences I saw between the Mordians and the Corps was that Marines are also famous for their initiative, thinking for themselves, so the point on them not moving even while being flanked sounded much more like cold war Russian doctrine, or perhaps doctrine from the Napoleonic era, everything else though perfectly matched the history and mindset of the USMC.

The Mordian Iron Guard is the thin blue line that holds back the darkness. Don't let their snappy dress uniforms fool you, they are HARD and they kill without mercy and without pause and they do it while marching in perfect lockstep.

How very similar, and yet very different they are from Kriegers. The physical, "starvation" and the spiritual, "redemption" as motivators. One could also say "love" and "devotion" to the Emperor vs "pride" and "reputation" of the Regiment. As a Krieger, I could just see/feel the tension in the shared trench! 😁 Love this, as always! Thank you so much!

[@screamingcactus1753]

Iron Guard will willingly die, Kriegers will gladly die. It's a subtle difference on paper, but it drastically changes their approach to war on both a tactical and individual level.

[@Psychoangel-d23]

@@screamingcactus1753 There is also the difference that kriegers take individual initiative meanwhile the Iron guardians is reliant on orders. one of the reasons the latter doesnt get grenades as standart issue. But they do have a neat lasgun overcharge setting that is more potent than the average.

This is like confusing Patrick Bateman for Marcus Halbestram from American Psycho... Of course the Kriegers are good at the same things and shop for uniforms at the same store, but Mordian's have slightly better haircuts..... 😂

There is a short scene with the Iron Guard in, I think, one of the Gaunts Ghosts novels where an infantry regiment marched out onto the battlefield during a siege as if it was a parade ground, ignoring every one of them that got show down, before perfectly lining up to return volley fire.

[@MrMLaidlaw]

Yeah that was a good book. Didn't they have a regiment of Guardsmen that had their officers using ancient power armour made for regular humans?

[@screamingcactus1753]

@@MrMLaidlaw I could be wrong as I don't know much about them, but it could be the Vostroyan First Born. They come from the only forge world in the Imperium required to deliver regiments to the Imperial guard as punishment for transgressions during the Horus Heresy, and as a result have some of the most advanced equipment in the organization.

What always really grabbed me about the mig what's having all of the artwork where they were in hellishly desperate situations executing their drill in the face of on rushing horror, the juxtaposition of their snappy uniforms to like their hideously scarred broken tooth battle Haggard features. When I was a little kid I saw the snappy uniforms and just thought that they were another hoity-toity exemplar combat unit as like an archetype.. but they want to start to understand their lore and the brutal reality that is exemplified in their garb and actions I really started to get 40K as a grim dark universe

Remember reading about a group of Mordians that got backed up in a seemingly impossible assault on an enemy fortress by a trio of Blood Angel astartes. When one Mordian questioned would three be enough, one of the Blood Angels was enraged that the guardsman would question him and warned him he'd be back 'after' they took the fort. Sure enough, back he came and basically stood in front of the Mordian who just stared him down until the Blood Angel gives a surly 'For the Emperor' then buggers off. Standing your ground against a touchy pissed off 8 foot tall superhuman vampire in power armor with only your guts and some fancy epaulettes....now that's soldiering!

Now, this content is fantastic, your voice, the writing... I cannot wait to begin binging all these videos. However I know nothing of Warhammer 40k. Nothing. So, is there a video you recommend for new viewers or for new members of your channel. An introduction to the page that explains what kind of content you'll be making or a quick 101 guide to Warhammer for the average newbie. Thank you ( I've only listened to like 3 videos but goodness me... I'm blown away.)

Same situation brother. If you want the skim or the general faction story try the exploring series KZbin channel Warhammer lore.

[@Ariana321]

Cavill should consider hiring you as a narrator, or maybe even writer for that upcoming Warhammer 40K series of his. ...Could also be a perfect fit to voice an Astartes chaplain.

Lovely video to listen to while at the gym- thank you for another masterpiece

[@esteban8681]

Jeremy Jahns brought me here. I've heard about 40k but know nothing of it. The Cavill news has me interested in the lore now. Side note , Jeremy is right , your voice is God tier. 😂😂

Dude you're almost up to 200,000 subscribers I was one of your first 100 congratulations buddy

[@baldermort]

I'm almost offended you felt you needed to remind me who you are brother Blue Buda. :) I recall those early conversations. You were the one who said we would get larger than Wolf Lord Rho, and you wake with the crack of dawn to provide food for all around you. Hard work, done well I would imagine. :) Farming - not for the weak. Thank you for all of your kindness, advice and support over the years. If I ever come anywhere near your locale I owe you a fair few pints. :)

@@baldermort well you definitely wouldn't have offended me I can't believe you remember who I am at all that's a crazy memory you got on you. I took a little break from 40K but I'm starting to get back into it again. And this is the first place I went looking

Considering that the Iron Guard's doctine and tactics are extremely rigid and inflexible, so just as crucial as their strength of skill and will, is the competence and acumen of their commanding officers.

[@WarHorsegaming640]

baldermort i am so happy too see ur channel coming up on 200k subs. i've been a fan ever since i think you had just 33k subs and the work and love you put into every episode is inspiring just like the mordian iron guard discipline and control. I cheers you baldermort for you are glory!

The Mordian Iron Guard: I dont care if you are being eaten by that Tyranid your boots better be shined good and proper

[@bongodrumzz]

Friday night is uncle Baldy treating us all once again, and tonight it's the Mordian Iron Guard, now this is another example of the Imperiums vast diverse fighting formations. Just to confuse the enemies of the Emperor of course, thank you uncle Baldy, after crappy week this is just what many of us need. I also caught the announcement concerning WH and their possible TV/movie adaptions concerning Henry Cavill, do you have an opinion on this too?

[@baldermort]

Thanks brother. Erm. My opinion is worth no more than anyone else’s. Im quietly confident it will be amazing. But we need to support the Cavill not stress the Cavill. That’s it. Honestly, I trust him. :)

[@bongodrumzz]

@@baldermort I didn't expect anything less from you uncle Baldy, now if only I could stick a heart emoji on your comment? lol

[@pudgeysaurusrex6147]

This narration is absolutely flawless. Masterfully done

[@Fen_Wolf]

I always enjoy when you make videos on specific imperal guard regiments the Mordian iron guard are one of the best out there. Great video as always Brother B

[@M0U53B41T]

I think you just convinced me to do my tanks in Moridan colours

[@hunterskidmore1672]

One of my favorite regiments, mostly due to their fashion sense and lore. Great to listen to this as I cook dinner

[@dominickdambrosio783]

If a squad of iron guard and a squad of praetorian guard had to stand at attention till they dropped, who’s dropping first?

[@patriotliberator3160]

Praetorian guard

[@Puddleglum83]

Had this recommended to me. Great video and narration. Glad to sub.

[@lite165]

10/10 quality video as always

Mordian Iron Guard: Man I sure love standing on this I was born on and we have sucessfully defended. Cadian :* Grumble grumble*
