The Mordians may have a lack of outstanding individuals among their regiments because of how regimental they are, they are drilled to function as a group and to function well with orders from a superior officer (meaning they fare pretty poorly to sudden changes of battlefield conditions) to the point where a Commissar may be necessary to force them to retreat.
With the destruction of Cadia, over running of Mordia and FW removing Elysian drop troops from sale, you have to wonder what GW has planned for the future of the Guard.
Teamwork is army work, individualism is "a bunch of crap" according the GEN George Patton. Great video on a regiment that I don't know much about. I like your description of these guys, I will look for them in the future.
In all regards and respect, I think the regiments of the Mordian Iron Guard are sort of glad they won't need to return to that shithole of a planet. Gives them an opportunity to make New Mordia (which would likely be a fortress world).
great video man, by the way are you ever gonna do one on the months of shame. I read about it and it's interesting, space wolves standing up to the inquisition. for an organization that has some of the smartest people in the imperium the inquisition seems to have a tendency to put idiots in charge, like the guy who thought it was a good idea to threaten fenris, or whoever thought the third war of Armageddon was a good time to screw with the celestial lions when imperial forces needed all the manpower they could muster, or the guy that declared the soul drinkers traitors when the mechanicus was clearly in the wrong
The months of shame? The THIRD war for Armageddon? What are you talking about citizen, there has ever only been two wars against the ork menace on Armageddon. If one keeps believing otherwise please report to your friendly neighberhood commisar. Emperor protects
yeah about that, I've been shot in the head more times than I can count. I can't die for some reason. I actually met another guy like me, said he helped the emperor against horus, said I was something called a perpetual. I was on Armageddon when those lunatics came out of hell and the inquisition tried to kill me. now I do errands for them, kill someone here, weed out a heretic there, boring stuff like that
Interesting, as a space wolf player since the magazine codex, i have never once heard of space wolves warring in the mordian sector... and 9 companies is almost the entire chapter
Mordian: never take a step back. Kreig: never stop moving forward. Both are a commissar’s worst nightmare. They aren’t trained for pulling back Kreig, and they don’t have a job with Mordians.
I covered them VERY briefly when they were announced as part of my "Making a Space Marine" video, but there was still a lack of information at that time. If I can get a proper look at the Space Marine Codex and some of the other source material, I may well cover them, but I make no promises especially as they lack characters right now.
Alright, the Iron Guard are among the best. Looking forward to see Tempestus Scions/Kasrkins, Cadia, Catachan, Valhalla, Armageddon, Elysian, Tallarn, Tanith, Maccabian and Vostroyan. Also hoping you'll also do Grey Knights, Deathwatch, Blood Ravens, Crimson Fists and other notable chapters soon.
I covered the Tanith in my general Astra Militarum video, as I haven't got the Gaunts Ghosts books to do them enough justice in a full video; same with the Commissariat and Tempestus Scions, so they won't be getting separate logs I'm afraid. But as for your other suggestions, well, watch this space..
Generally for worlds like this, and the likes of Catachan the Astra Militarum goes "Mine!" and Space Marines generally have to get permission from a world, or some other high ups to use any world as a recruiting world, or especially in the case of their Fortress Monastery world.
@@caos1925 there backed by the word of the emporer they could just take whoever they wanted to recruit and unless its an inquisitor or high lord kicking up a fuss i dont see much they could fo about it there basically above the law almost
