40k Stories - Legions: The Death Guard

[@ashleychaplin5855]

Some say, that while in his original pod, the infant primarch mortarion had the ancient Terran song 'don't fear the reaper' stuck on a loop. How it affected him is unknown.

[@TacticaImperialis]

Those people probably also say that Curze's pod was constantly playing episodes of Batman, probably the Christian Bale movies in particular.

[@ronaldowens5025]

Tactica Imperialis well if we are doing this Russ. listened to Celtic Frost for his ride. Saguineous Interview with a Vampire. I wonder who had testudo the iron man on the loop in the pod

[@jerec1267]

Felix Chaplin I heard a similar rumor that says the first words the infant fulgrim heard were "BY THE POWER OF GREYSKULL"

[@shikatsu]

Or Creeping Death and thing that should not be...cause yeah...Tzeentch is a jerk.

[@chriswalker4943]

Felix Chaplin I'm not going to say that you are wrong...

[@kirkcannon4704]

I was always surprised that mortarion fell to chaos of all people, he pretty much had to be tortured by nurgle to be fully converted

[@papanurgle8393]

Tough love is occasionally needed.

[@karlvik2168]

@@papanurgle8393 You still went overboard paps.

[@MrKbonez]

Even then he wasn't "fully" converted.... he reluctantly submits to Nurgle in order to save his Legion. Remember how much he resented Big E for killing the overlord on Barbarus? Now consider how much he must resent Nurgle.

[@Sigismund697]

a campaign with Vulkan and Mortarion is interesting because while Vulkan respected him he didn't like his mania with leaving nothing alive and the earth salted so to speak

[@pitmatix1457]

As mentioned Death Guard are from Albia as are the Iron Hands. I always imagined the Death Guard being more English as there's the use of (anglo-Saxon) Huscarls mentioned in the Horus Heresy books and there's a stereotypical WW1 trench warfare/spirit of the blitz to them. I think the Iron Hands are more Scottish due to the dour stereotype and the old angry/good with machines and engineering trope.

[@DeathGuardDidNothingWrong]

Death Guard are from Old Albia (present day albania.) Nothing to do with England.

[@emperorconstantine1.361]

He is the next traitor primarch to fight Papa Smurf. Confirmed.

[@TacticaImperialis]

That is true, but when I wrote this we didn't have that information so I couldn't include it.

[@emperorconstantine1.361]

Tactica Imperialis I wasn't trying to be a troll, no far from it!! I was confirming that your estimates were correct!!

Derek Burge Nurgle Worshippers do have a tendency to have quite a cheery demeanor

[@angry_zergling]

Mortarian is also vaping in that image. Interesting bunch, those Death Guard.

[@korstmahler]

I want to say the Overlords were not Xenos, given 'Mort' having Terran roots. It's too much of a coincidence for me. But whatever they were by the time they ruled over Barbarus, some kind of runaway ruling class given over to Chaos in a way that allowed them animate the dead. Now, I'm not saying it was Nurgle, but...

[@papanurgle8393]

Hey hey!

[@Illiadofmalorne]

Nurgle was making a play for Mortarion including choosing where he ended up. He's a long game schemer.

I really enjoyed this, like I can see you doing a legitimate documentary for this. If only there were videos to accompany it in the background, like see them in action

[@TacticaImperialis]

That would be awesome, but I don't have the animation skill to do that myself nor do I have the funds to pay someone to do it! Maybe one day

[@randallgpreston]

In the audio book Mortarion's Heart it is heavily implied Nathaniel Garro and Janus the first grandmaster of the Gray Knights are the same person.

[@TacticaImperialis]

However, we know from the book The Last Son of Prospero that Janus is Revuel Arvida - check the Thousand Sons video for the full details

[@zenec_]

new to this channel and love ;D

[@Sliceofpi]

I always took the conversations between Mort and Jag to show that Mort kind of liked him. I don't know how much the feeling was returned as Jag was so socially awkward but still.

[@TacticaImperialis]

I think the Mortarion-Khan relationship, as it were, would be similar to that of Horus and Khan. Both acknowledged that they were warriors, not much more, even if they were incredibly good at waging war it was pretty much all they knew. As a result, they had a healthy level of respect and were almost kindred spirits - I wager that in a way, Khan saw Mortarion in a similar manner, though Khan's pro-psyker attitude will have probably been a contentious issue for them.

[@Sliceofpi]

Tactica Imperialis After re-reading path of heaven I agree with you. Too many books to keep up with and I sometimes equate page time to comradery in hindsight.

[@daltonbecker4494]

I think Mort kind of liked all of his brothers (With probably one exception, try to guess who.) But this was compounded by the fact that Mortarion was an asshole. If Perterabo had the personality of an angry teenager who punches wholes in drywall because dad took a way his computer. Mortarion was the stereotypical teenager whose is apathetic to a fault and responds to everything with a "Ugh, whatever..." While silently hating everybody around him.

[@soccerandtrack10]

so nuggle turns people making it seem like it's their fault but it really never is?cause he said the deathwatch were sorry for being traitors cause of their weaknesses.

[@woundclan7747]

love the lore videos keep it up

[@Biodeamon]

they hated sorcers because his adpotive father was a race of exeno necromancers I don't think he actually used witchcraft until typhus asked though

[@catomeowgarius4399]

Garro didnt seal the door thou.. it was his human servent who closed the door trapping him and the traitors in the room with the virus bomb and garror had to watch or ear him die infront of him >.> Garror already has a good bit of lore let the hooman servent story be kinda told that all servents of the death guard were brave and willing to die for their duty as much as the space marine counter part.

[@TacticaImperialis]

You're right, my mistake, sorry! In my lore video specifically about Garro I got this right, but I didn't here and that's my bad.

[@papanurgle8393]

Yea that guy was a dick.
