About his Morty's meeting with Big E, I'm pretty sure the challenge was *only* for Mortarion to kill his necromancer father, which he failed in. The Emperor only stepped in once Mortarion was on the ground, his lungs and body permanently crippled by the poison, about to be killed by his foster father who noticed him dying outside on his doormat.

The Death Guard, where health care insurance is a machete...

Okay so you aren't wrong about anything here but I'd like to defend/mention something important about Mortarian's character. A lot of people focus on the kill steal, and rightfully so, but another big part of his backstory is that Mortarian learned through the Emperor's actions that he was too slow. On his home planet he was patient in earning the human's trust, he went from town to town to teach and arm them, and he slowly built up their armor and poison masks so that the humans could join him and eventually improve how far he himself could go. In the primarch book, "The Pale King" Mortarion takes a long time before committing to bringing a planet into compliance. During that time we see him do a lot of research and planning. The plan he comes up with is actually pretty creative. Which shows that when he can move at his own pace he is much more capable and interesting as a character. But the plan wasn't perfect, it was creative but also way to direct. This is because his big character flaw is him constantly trying to overcome the fact that he is slow. Slow for a primarch is still bonkers fast, but slow in comparison none the less. All of his legions tactics are straightforward and kinda dumb because the most straightforward way is often the fastest. There are tons of other small examples of this but I've wrote a book about it. Just look into his lore a little and consider the "he's slow but aware of it" angle.

Showing that it will always bother him, but that he doesn't let it control him. However, I'm suggesting that he does let the fact that he was too slow control him. An issue caused by the killsteal indirectly. @@dumbidea1007

Pretty accurate take. For me, Death Guards are basically the other end of the spectrum of the Iron Hands. Slow Moving, grind the foes into dust kinda strategy. Where Iron Hands slowly creeps in, hates their own flesh and using all kinds of range weaponry to deal damage on the enemies from afar. Death Guard slowly creeps in and uses short range and hated the flesh of the "Non gifted". Basically, Juggernauts that both hates flesh. One hates it because it is flesh, one hates it because it's not fleshy and rotten enough. One has a knack for range, one has a knack for just get close by having close to a Stroll towards their destination.

regarding phosphex I am pretty sure it can burn in vacuum just fine, you can't put it out, you just have to wait and hope it burns out on it's own. Also I have heard it described as having a particularly horrifying quality where apparently the flames can somehow detect movement and will "chase" after it. So if you are near phosphex flames and you try to get away, it's going to follow you and kill you.

Always thought the death guard was one of the most deadly legions with just there passive abilities that I feel are nerfed especially in terms of how their described to be so destructive and killing

The Lords of Silence was such a gem of a book, I've been meaning to relisten to it.

Always felt that Mortarion and his legion were one of the coolest heresy legions in aesthetic and concept, but have been given a raw deal in the lore. I do think Chris Wraight does a banger job with them and even Mortarion himself, but more needs to be done.

Death Guard is an awesome chaos faction and outside of the 1K Sons I always loved their death and decay aesthetic and I even run a Death Guard themed deck in MTG. In contrast, I just cant seem to get into Mortarion. To Mortarion's credit, the Death Guard are the most coherent traitor legion that has been active. However at the end of the day, Imo, The Emperor was right. It may have been his life struggle, but in the grand scheme of things if you live solely for revenge then thats a pretty wasted life. The Emperor had plans, and Mortarion was destined for bigger things. Granted, the Emperor could have easily just told a HUGE white lie and said "if you follow me we will crush men like him a hundred times over and you can kill the problem at its true source" That would of course crumble away and Mortarion would probably hate the Emperor anyways for lying...but thats kinda the whole thing with Morty.

Death Guards duty about being infantry focused is very cool. Also I have had idiot commanders over me and their ain’t nothing you can do about it. Perhaps this is why the Death Guard’s lore appeals to me.

I’m coming in seven months late because I was flashbanged by the phrase “The Emperor don’t miss too often,” because looking back this at golden sociopath makes him look like the Imperium’s drunk uncle giving them some cool alternative lifestyle while hiding the fact that they just doomed themselves to heroin addiction… love your content btw :)

I mean he did the exact same thing to angron. Dude claims to want to preserve humanity but shows time and time again he has none of his own.

Mortarion was a real asshole. He wanted to do it alone. This time I think the Emperor was at least, reasonable. Mortarion failed, failed miserably in his attempt to kill his foster father. He could kill his foster father on his own nor would he accept any help. He was too stubborn and petulant to be helped. The Emprah here just run out of patience and gave an early ultimatum.

Lords Of Silence is an amazing book. The opening battle where loyalist marines vomit their innards out through their helmets’ rebreathers is just so gloriously horrible.

‘The light will come again!’ Xydias thunders. And that, of all that has been claimed or boasted, is a genuine sorrow. It will never come again. There has not been light, genuine light, for ten thousand years. Vorx should know - he witnessed it, the original blaze of hope, being extinguished by the Doomed Warmaster at the behest of gods he now serves. So this pain must end. This delusion must end. Better to prosper in darkness than batter away at some false dawn like a shroud-moth on a lantern.

The thing is I’ve become more interesting in the old dusk raiders more than the death guard. The flight of the Eisenstin book introduced a interesting idea of space marines legions that no-one really considers before the relationship/ culture clash between a primarch the original Terran born marines of the legion.

The siege of Terra has some good bits from the death guard point of view of somewhat minor characters, including mortarion’s equery and a weirdly appealing apothecary

The problem with a lot of Chaos primarchs backstories is that they usually scapegoat the emperor to justify the primarchs fall. IMO, this is a bullshit plot device. I really like Magnus the red as a primarch because his fall is largely his own fault, and the story recognizes it as such. Compare this to mortarion, who got his life SAVED by the emperor and then preceded to hold a grudge and become the very thing he hated.

“Look at him! His preferred weapon is gardening equipment!”🤣🤣🤣🤣 that was good. It does appear that the Emporer and Malcodor knew that the Primarchs would eventually rebel but they just didn’t know how it would go down. It can be argued that they’re KNOWLEDGE that it would happen, influenced their behavior towards the Primarchs, ENSURING it would happen. Self-Fulfilling prophecy kinda stuff…

I suspect primarchs falling to Chaos was part of the knowledge deal Big E did. Though I doubt numbers or names were discussed besides: Each chaos god gets one champion. So after finding the primarchs, the Emperor tried to push certain ones to Chaos while protecting others.

Big Daddy E offered to help and give him armor and stuff, but Morty said, "Nah bruh...I'm good homie..."

Honestly love the Death guard, besides Mortarion. The original recruits were drawn from old Albia which was the last city to fall under compliance to the Emperor during the Unification War, actual ending up joining due to the respect that the Emperor had to them cause they were able to hold off his forces for so long that big E actually resorted to diplomance. The original death guard, called the Dusk Raider took a large degree of their culture into the legion, however this was destroyed by Mortarion, who stripped any identity of the Dusk Raiders. Fun Fact, Albia was also the origin recruit origin of the Iron Hands and Night Lords meaning 1/6 of all the known legions (not counting two or eleven) can trace their origins back to Albia which in itself is really fucking cool.

Really enjoying your approach to all this dude. Looking forward to more 😊

I really want to share a comment I came across on r/grimdark that completely changed my perspective of Mortrian. It was in response to the question of did Mortrain have any other traits aside being big and smell. After all,Typhus seems to be Nurgle’s champion. Otherwise, as the question went, they didn’t see the point in him: “In many ways its kinda the point that hes a bit of a fuck up tbh, because when you run down his credentials hes one of the more impressive primarchs: hes a high level psyker, hes an expert in infantry tactics, he's stealthy enough to infiltrate the imperial palace far enough to find the proto webway project, he commands a fanatical undying sense of loyalty from his [barbarus born] legionaries, hes an engineering and biochemical expert, hes one of the physically strongest primarchs on top of being the primarch with the highest endurance, of the major traitor primarchs he was right behind perturabo for "having his shit together" during the siege of terra, post heresy he masters numerology as a means of fortune telling, he has doomsday weapons out the ass, his post heresy legion commands one of the largest traitor fleets and is the third most unified/organized, etc. etc. and all of that flys at odds with how so incredibly insecure he is about himself and his capabilities. that for all that he's capable of, he's never good enough. he wasn't good enough to climb that mountain and take necares head, he wasn't good enough to liberate barbarus himself, hes never hard enough, strong enough, good enough to achieve the heights he believes he needs to hit both to meet his own standards and to meet the darwanist mentality that was hammered into him from his youth on babarus. and that is why i would argue mortarion fits so well as nurgles champion. he's not just hardy, hes a miserable wet towel of anxiety, paranoia and inadequacy. the primarch most prone to depression but who also tries to brute force his way through that mental battle because admitting to that weakness means failing his own standards. and he knows it which ends up compounding the problem as he doubles down to overcompensate [hence why he tends to get to hyper fixated on individuals and perceived sleights]. which then compounds itself further with the tragedy that, he so dearly wanted to be a more heroic figure like sanguinius or horus [pre heresy], to be the same liberator he was on barbarus to the rest of the imperium. but his psychological hangups get in the way, his physical scarring gets in the way, and the simple fact that hes so locked into a mindset that worked on barbarus but is out of place near everywhere else dooms him to becoming a grim sanction of utter destruction by both circumstance and choice. now has Black librarys writing always done him justice, no, but that could be said about most if not all of the traitor primarchs.” - TrillionSpiders

I like playing DG in kill team and being very, very aggressive. It’s so funny to be a slow moving wall with a heavy cleaver and plague knives.

What do you mean the emperror don't mess (miss?) that often? He fks up all the time, from the ban on chaos knowledge, which led to the whole mankind corruption, to being the shittiest dad in the universe.

I had only just read the Buried Dagger, it's a fun one which goes this in a fair bit of detail. I side with the Emperor on this one. Mortarion was fucking up, over and over again unable to do this. He had multiple ways to take down the Overlords, but only *his* way was going to work and it was stupid. The armor was untested and too expensive to mass produce, so only his best soldiers got them and wouldn’t you know it, they all died on the first assault. The Emperor saved him and his people. Mortarion was too stubborn to accept the help and went into his death just to spite him, letting his people he supposedly cared for suffer.

Moratarion being petty is why I love him so much

Most other lore videos on Morty say that the Emperor first gave food and medicine to morty's people and then offered to help him kill the last overlord together. I don't know how you can interpret that as the Emperor screwing up. But I never did read the books myself, so maybe I got a warped version of events.

By far my favourite army. So happy you did them the justice they well and truly deserve.

( alcohol, nicotine, shrooms and most mind altering substances are essentially poison) But what gets me, is why the Nids don’t have a hardon for pappy. Cockroaches, and many bugs/insects love the hell out of alcohol. And just like every awesome grandmother bakes cookies, every grandfather lets you have a sip from their caldron.

I 🫶DEATH GUARD! They look like they were designed both by HP Lovecraft & John Carpenter. The DG are always happy because Papa Nurgle loves us all & every day is Halloween! To me, they’re the best Legion because they just run around getting high AF, eating tacos, chips & malt liquor, while blasting Black Sabbath or DOOM metal as they ride into town. “We are the DEATH GUARD! Let’s get high & have some fun!”

I figured it was like Angron- if he let Mortarion continue on then Mortarion would have died or been harmed to point of uselessness. He already a broken tool in Angron, he didnt need another lmao

Nurgle's blessings upon you!
