MORTARION & FALL OF THE DEATH GUARD | Warhammer 40k Lore with PatStaresAt 

“Fulgrim not dead, Fulgrim big snake” *Nods solemnly*

You forgot the Part with Nurglings and that the Plague Marines call them "Little Lords" and just fucking adore them and play with them bc they Look like Mini Papa Nurgles.

Mortarion: *"Fuck, I hate sorcery!"* Also Mortarion: "Excuse me while I do some magic shit."

As a DG player, you guys did the smelly boys justice, but I have to "achkschually" Bricky, but only because the truth is 100 times funnier than what he said. Mortarion learned he was a psyker while still human, he was interrogating a daemon possessing a woman about why other Primarchs used psykers and eventually it started taunting him since it was an immaterial being and he supposedly didn't have psychic powers so he couldn't harm it. This was when Moration awakened his psyker abilities and used them to force the daemon to materialize in realspace so he could beat it to death with his own two hands.

The reason Nurgle's plagues are so scary is that they are not normal plagues, they are microscopic daemons pretending to be bacteria and viruses while still doing their daemon:y stuff.

A cool scene from the Siege of Terra books is when Mortarion, fresh off of Nurgle rotting him and his boys, walks up to the bridge of Horus' ship and everyone in the bridge except for Horus and Abaddon just drop to the floor because of the poison gas aura that just wafts off of him. And Abaddon's just confused as to why he's not affected and it's the first hint that the Gods are starting to look his way.

My understanding of how Mortarion works while not playing the tabletop as explained by Bricky: Big boy have lot of health He take less damage He take even lesser damage He take even *lesser* damage If you roll good he *no take* damage.

"Wait did he break out as a baby?" "No that'd be silly" Didn't Angron like kill an Eldar kill team as like an infant?

Funny little tidbit, after Mort's transformation he goes out into the warp and finds his adoptive dad's soul. Stuffs the thing into a jar and then goes home to torture it for the next few millennia till he gets bored. Another thing I wanted to point out is that Nurgle is the god of life. The death guard aren't just destroyers, they're nurturers as well. It's displayed perfectly in the book Lords of Silence (one of the best 40k books ever written IMO) in that not only do they hold great interest in the lives of those "lesser" than themselves unlike so many other astartes in general, they take great pride in the creation of new life whether it be micro organisms or new species of flora. The main character of the book, a DG Seigemaster, even has a lil garden on his flagship and in his home on the Plague Planet. Pretty cute stuff if you get past all of the horrible grimdarkness

“I don’t think the death guard have any flying units of any kind” Bloatdrone: “am I a joke to you?” Everyone: “yes”

Bricky, I am proud of you. The transition from League of legends RU-vidr to game reviewer/Warhammer 40k guide was amazing.

I like that Mortarion keeps the scythe and the plasma gun clean and pristine as a 'fuck you' to Nurgle.

Typhon: Hey Morty, I talked to all the Navigators, they were loyal to Emps so I killed 'em lol Morty: Wtf!? How are we gonna get to Terra now!? The siege is about to start!!! Typhon: Don't even stress! I've secretly been a psyker this whole time! I'll navigate for us! Morty: (visibly very fucking angry) Ugh, fine. Just do it quickly. Typhon: (plotting a direct course to Nurgle's lap) YEET

Pat: You're never gonna have a video game where the bad guy is the god of rape Elder Scrolls Online: (sweating nervously)

“Morty doesn’t die.” 2+ armor save 4+ ward save 5+ feel no pain -1 to damage YEP

*still busy vigorously polishing his toaster in anticipation for the Mechanicus episode*

"Forget no insult, my sons, as I have never forgotten those of my father, of the Emperor, nor those of Horus. Forgive no slight or grievance. Hold your bitterness deep within, and there let it fester. Let it roil and squirm and churn, until you are filled with bile so poisonous that all you touch falls to ruin. Thus shall you serve Nurgle best. Thus shall you spread his virulent gifts across the false Imperium, and watch its final rotting..."

Damn shows really moving up, got an actual member of the Death Guard to cameo

The fact it isn't called the Erebus Heresy is the biggest injustice in 40k.

How fitting that Pat's involvement in this podcast is to be a sheer agent of chaos

"Oops all pykers" perfectly describe the A thousand Suns

"Slaanesh is about excess of feeling." So what you're saying is that Slaanesh and their followers are basically like the Cenobites from Hellraiser.

emperors children? cant wait for the Chad Rylanor and the Virgin Fulgrim fanart

Pat is the ultimate champion of Papa Nurgle. Him, the stinkiest boi, with his hell-hound geif, and his skeleton mustard queen on his arm. He and his nice grandpa will take over us all.

I cannot tell you the amount of gunk I have to clean off my axe when I kill one.

"I don't know how to kill this guy..." *Nightbringer knuckle-cracking noises.*

It's not "Magnus did nothing wrong", it's "Magnus had good intentions"

Meanwhile, the Kroot: " Ride wife. Life good. "

Mortarion: "I don't like warp shit" Also mortarion: *literally becomes warp shit*

it's a fact that is impossible to describe Slaanesh without innuendos, and nurgle without accidental ones

The thing that Mortarion did to the Necrons is called Ferric Blight. It's an ability that Death Guard have that they usually use on enemy vehicles - it corrodes and weakens metal. Now they've found that it works on Necrons too.

I find it strange how Nurgle seems to embody two totally opposing forces: entropy on one side and resilience on the other.

I had never really thought too much about Nurgle and the plague marines, but the thing where Mortarion unleashed a plague so severe it killed Necrons, gotta admit that's kinda badass. It's making me reconsider.

I just keep thinking of the time Typhus asked what a clee-TOR-is is, in the tts series

As a veteran from Two best friends fandom Pat is PERFECT for this episode.

Oops, All Psychers! is a t-shirt I didn't know I needed.

"I have my bolter and I'm still a giant man" How I'm going to describe space marines from now on

Years ago I heard Pat mention Warhammer, and have waited since

"The Chaos Gods do give you a bump." Slaanesh: "Y'all wanna hit these LINES?!"

I like how they spent an hour saying how Mortarion is powerfull but then Bricky says you just need a dozen Leman Russ tanks to kill him in the lore

Me shouting at the screen when the spongbob bit came on I KNOW WHAT SCENE

Hey Bricky, we might all get better representations of Slaanesh if we recognized serial killers and zealots as distinctly excessive.

14:00 ish, you forgot Ferrus Manus, whose name in Latin means "Iron Hands." So Primarch Iron Hands, who has iron hands, leads the Iron Hands Legion of Space Marines.

I hope when you get around to the Iron Warriors, you bring up that Nurgle wanted them to be his champions before going to the Death Guard. But Perturabo told him to piss off.

Surprised you downplayed the feud between mort and typhus. Typhus feels he is the favorite of nurgle and even told mort he won't take orders from him

Yes Inquisitor sir. This podcast right here.

Some people say man is made out of mud My sons are all made out of mucus and blood Mucus and blood and sores to the bone Their bodies keep failing but they keep going on You cough seven times, what do you get? Another day older and tied to the bed Corpse Emperor can't save you, you are done Your soul belongs to this great unclean one

Disgustingly resilient only giving - 1 to damage, yeah right, if only...

Towards the end the discussion on Slaanesh- As a new player I’m getting sort of hellraiser/cenobyte vibes from them. Extreme pain/pleasure

cant wait til they talk more about nurgle's boys in general and we get to hear DK react to the fact that there's a troop called the sloppity bilepiper

I’m starting to think Tifus jumped on the granade because of the sisters of silence 😅

This will be great, I got into the hobby this time last year and seeing a portion of my subscription list show their love for the franchise is fantastic

How do you kill Mortarion, you ask? *Laughs in Nightbringer*

"[Unit] Fucks" is now my favorite way to describe a unit being really strong

If I’m honest, Nurgle is probably the best greater power to follow, in 40k. He cares, and if ya don’t mind the tissue liquefaction, the decomp-bloat, and/or the nauseating variety of odors, his dudes are actually pretty well-off (by grimdark standards). Yeah, yeah... awaiting Commissariat *BLAM*ing

This has quickly turned into one of my favorite podcasts right now. Good job guys, your dynamic makes it all very engaging. Also wtf is Pat doing here? I just got done listening to his engagement announcement lol

Agony is the closet 40k slaanesh game we got...

It bugs me that everyone keeps calling him mortarium (which is the roman pottery) . His name is Mortarion with an n.

I cant wait for the world eaters episode and kharn the betrayer. Or the lore with khorne and skarbrand

1:15:20 I think the best way to describe Slaanesh is not as "Sin of Lust" but "Sin of Gluttony" Imagine the following: You feel [-hunger-]. So you reach out and [-eat-] to satisfy your need But it's not enough. So you [-eat-] more. It's still not enough, so you do so again. But you are still [-hungry-]. Worse, your attempts have only made your [-hunger-] worse. So your only option is to [-consume-] even more. Now, take the stuff in brackets and change it to something else, anything else. Sex, beauty, pleasure, desire, perfection. Anything. It isn't what is desired, only that said desire is simultaneously unbearable and insatiable. This explains why Slaanesh also governs perfectionists under his domain. Those who push further and further, never ceasing even as their gains shrink to imperceptible levels. And why Space Marines, like Noise Marines, would follow him. They seek not carnal pleasures, but the symphony of screams with a bass of bolter fire. They seek the adrenaline high that only violence can bring. And they shall forever seek it, for they shall never be satisfied. For those who follow Slaanesh, even perfection is not enough.

Blood Ravens are the best. They’ll “secure” all your artifacts.

Lately they have been trying to swing Slannesh more towards perfection and pride to make it more easily marketable. Obsession in achieving perfection or the pinnacle of an experience. Could work, would certainly be far easier to sell that version to some suburban parent for their kid than the sex cult brigade.

A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.

In Dark Emperium Plague war Guilliman has the Emeror's sword while fighting Mortarion. The Emperor's sword can in fact permanently kill demons. So thats really the only thing outside of the immaterium that can out right kill demons.

About Slaanesh being in a game: Slaanesh is actually my favorite of The Dark Gods. Partially due to the obvious, but mostly because of all the different ways you can take the cultists. Examples: -A brewmaster cult that is dedicated to making the best brew, and have a Way of the Drunken Master style to them. -A street racer cult that is all about going fast and looking techo. -A theater troupe cult that is trying to beat the Harlequins at their own game. -The Cult of the Good Sleep, a joke cult about enjoying the pleasure of a good night's sleep. They make the fluffiest pillows and stuff animals ever. Slaanesh is great because of how unrestricted it is. With a bit of creativity, you can have a ton of fun with it, and that's kinda on brand for Slaanesh. If you wanna put Slaanesh in a game, just put the focus on one of the other aspects and everything will be fine.

"Magnus did nothing wrong" The entire Horus Heresy book series: hold my beer

I cannot waaait for The Emperor's Children/Noise Marine episode.

Nurgle voiced by Justin Roiland: (burps) Morty… Morty, y-y-your dad… He-He’s a real piece of shit, Morty. The anathema… th-the corpse emperor… we we got(burps) gotta take out his dying imperium, Morty…

If Guilliman gets Morty with dad's sword, that's GG no re.

hands down best episode

I hope that this episode spurs on Bricky to make a very sarcastic Ultramarines episode a kin to the level of stupidity TTS Ultramarines are.

Its not stealing a kill if your on the ground coughing up chunks of lung and your enemy hasn't been hit once. Id like to think morty never talked to anyone about this until his fall and the one nurgling he told made the same point I just did.

So it's been a while since this episode came out and I thought this was just me at the time but I still feel this way all this time later. I can't be the only one who felt a little awkward listening to this because pat wasn't exactly vibing with bricky and DK?

Wouldn't be an Adeptus Ridiculous episode without Bricky trying to make an analogy with something everyone's heard of, and DK going "I've never seen/played that show/game."

22:24 "are we connecting spongebob to the death guard and mortarion" This man clearly has never seen the famous shitpost meme warhammer 40k factions portrayed by spongebob.

The Death Guard is the 14th Legion. Imperial Fists are the 7th. Thanks for fucking that up in the ad GW.

With Rick and Pat we'll reach levels of wrong never thought possible since the Deamonculaba.

"Well I never liked it" GET HIM OUT

I'm still waiting on my favorite factions the Adeptus Mechanicus and the Imperial Knights. Regardless, I like where these are heading. Can't wait to see more and I'm glad to be here during the premiere! My love goes out to DK, Brick, Shy, and Pat. Love you guys.

Has anyone else realized chaos actually won the horus heresy. The sacrificed king? Had horus actually won he would have killed 85% of all life in to galaxy. The gods set horus up to fail.

Best to remember that if the Imperium has a million planets, the orks have two million.

0:40 You know damn well she's bare-footed in that poster

I swear. If "That's so sweet. They named the chaos man after this bowl" doesn't appear on the wiki I'm gonna be pissed

"I'm not a big Spongebob fan." "WHAT KIND OF PLACE IS THIS!?!?

Pat’s general lack of energy and any enthusiasm really was spot on for the Death Guard episode...

Yeah, no wonder why the guest's favorite faction is Nurgle based, he speaks for himself ;)

One thing I wish you mentioned is that being non-flesh doesn't protect you. Metal rusts in the presence of the Death Guard and computers (machine spirits) get viruses. Also while they can corrupt marines and convert them, it is far more common to simply kill marines, loot their geneseeds, and use them in new recruits. Morty is usually extrememely successful when he does make attacks, however, Nurgle's most powerful Daemon prince being missing might cause other Chaos groups to get sassy and attack Nurgle-space, causing Morty to be recalled. This is why Chaos doesn't simply "win" in general. Slaanesh wasn't stopped by mortal races - Nurgle stepped in and slapped him into line to prevent him/her from getting too strong.

Didn’t even watch spongebob know this meme

We must all catch the covid and embrace grandfather nurgles blessing

“There, feel the glory of necrosis, and rejoice! Nurgle loves you!“ Woo my favorite legion

I never thought id ever see CHEETAH PRINT power armor

Bricky you're doing amazing, Pat was so enthralled with the lore that he forgot to make a stinky smash player joke

In the words of Zoran the bear to facilitate the new position of Mortarion: "He is top bitch now..."

What I learned from this video today is that people being both lazy and steadfast makes Nurgle stronger

It's strangely appropriate that a DG Lore video is basically three guys just shooting the breeze, making jokes and laughing. I think Nurgle would be SO happy.

Love the Death Guard. I initially didn't really know anything about them when I started collecting them. Nabbed the Dark Imperium box day one of 8E because I thought the Lord of Contagion looked cool and might be fun to paint. Several years later, Death Guard is now my largest army. I uhhh, still don't know that much about their lore (Before having watch this video that is) in comparison to what I know about Sisters of Battle, my favorite faction, but I know they're pretty cool. And that they're fun to paint with how many different colors you can use with them.

It’s crazy that they got Grom.

Fun fact, the death guard ships are actually alive and will kill you if they feel like it. In the lords of silence they talk about prople/marines just vanishing aboard the solace.

I just now realised that at some point in my life I have been watching all your chanels for some reason for a while. Like watching DK and Quite Shallow back in 2014~ in my warframe period, Watched Bricky and those 'So you wanna main' videos like 4 years ago in my LoL renaissance and now here I am listening to you guys about warhammer while Im painting my Outriders. I dont know why but this moment feels special somehow.
