Today we shall elucidate the 14th Legion of the Legionnes Astartes: The Death Guard.
Once known as the Dusk Raiders of Terra, the 14th would fight as stoic infantry gifted uncompromising ideals and unmatched constitution.
Yet with their fall to the Ruinous Powers, the Plague Marines of the Death Guard now skulk the stars as infected, bloated abominations unwilling to accept the embrace of the grave...

The quote by Manus at the beginning was very interesting. I wonder what kind of Astartes we may have seen had the Death Guard and Iron Hands had an agreement where they would send each other companies of marines regularly to cross train with the others legions.

@AlexHalt100 Жыл бұрын

most likely the same that happened to the custodes accompanying the word bearers. keep in mind: typhon was corrupted right from the start before he even met mortarion. and going with the lore mortarion probably saw them as weak since they heavily augmented themselves instead of enduring the hardships and even embracing them like the death guard did.

@MGlobal111 Жыл бұрын

Shame this legion has to fall one of the most organised one pre and post heresy, I find it even more frustrating because Mortarion understands his misgivings to a degree, he’s just not open to acknowledge them openly, he knows he failed his sons and he knows he failed himself, he keeps going just out for resentment alone because there is no way back. One of my favourite reads so far was Khagans confrontation with Mortarion in Warhawk, amazing fight but truly the conversation was my favourite part because when it was said and done Mortarion could not look into Jaghatais face and say he is lying or speaking out of turn, Khan said it perfectly he prided himself on enduring anything and yet each test and every hard decision thrown at Mortarion in the end he did give up.

@Admiralkirk95 9 күн бұрын

You have to imagine just how rough Barbaros was if the after Mortarion left and got in charge of his legion he didn't hesitate the reorganize the legion into the horrible one it became. Using inhumane weapons of virus and chemical varieties. he was a brutal and terrible ruler from the start. Of all of the mperors sons he is one of the few I could say was a lost cause from the start. His planet and wounded pride metaphorically and literally poisoned him from the start. And he dragged the once fiercely loyal legion of the Dusk raiders to damnation with him. it was almost as if he was rebelling before the heresy even happened. Mortarion is the kind of person to fail and/or do hypocritical things and instead of admitting it and changing to fit his ideals, he buries his head in the sand and lashes out at any accusation that he is anything but he claims to be. He fought against the power hungry necromancers of his planet who made the lives of the people of barbaros horrifying, and yet when put into power he became just as cruel and terrifying as them. He hates psykers cause of what he'd seen through out his time on Barbaros, yet here is both a pawn of the very source of psyker abilities, using psykic power and ruling a noxious plague world as his foster father did. He knows he is everything he hates, but any attempt to get him to openly admit it or see it ends in him have manic rages in defense. And for this he refused to see the path he was going down.

He’s the traitor primarch who could’ve benefited most from being a loyalist instead. If he’d had the character development to overcome his petty bitterness and try to do the right thing while being crippled by the disbanding the librarius it could’ve been really neat. Instead we get the bitter death-moth.

Cursed are these men: their minds psychically depressed behind a veil of joy just like the now corrupted avatar of the once truly joyous and loving grandfather before the war in heaven drove him and his fellows of chaos to carnage: some of his daemons reflect better than others but all show the true nature of corrupted inevitably, by that I mean it is so miserable all the time one has to laugh just to numb the pain by even the slightest margin. And for their minor abstraction that is the primarch? Deep within even his absolute self feels a sense of.....longing for....true joy.....perhaps one day the emperor, order, anathema to abstractions of chaos will finally grant the secret wish of his 14th: A true father to have in his life.
