The Primarchs: Mortarion Lore - The Lord of Death (Death Guard) | Warhammer 40,000 

Also, The Khan didnt defeat Mortarion. The Khan admitted if the fight had continued he would have lost. Mortarion was wearing him down the entire time.

they both break the fight because Mortation didn't want to lose the fleet, but Mortarion is the one that fled by teleporting out. so it's a bit of a point for Khan as he didn't quit the field.. but that's the glory of the 40k universe, we can debate these finer points on matters of perspective ;)

Mostly cause he hated what they did to his people. As a result he found it repulsive, cowardly and wrong since he only ever saw it sick abuse. Another recent bit of lore tells us that his distaste for the Emperor came after Calas Typhon advised him to hold out on assaulting his adoptive father's home, and they stalled for a sizeable amount of time (like months). That led to doubts amongst the populace in Mortarion's ability, so the Emperor showing up and openly challenging him and further undermining his authority just rubbed him in all sorts of wrong ways. When he was dying on Barbarus, Nurgle himself began trying to whisper to him the secrets of all life, in an offer to save him from entropy. It was the very first time he knew true despair and a fear of Death, thus letting Nurgle in. The Emperor saved him before the "deal" could come to fruition, so it's likely he began to slowly corrupt Typhon who was then all too glad to deliver the Death Guard to him on a silver platter (also explains why Typhus is still not ascendant, because he played his part). So when Morty was becalmed in the Warp, he wasn't finally meeting Nurgle for the first time, but accepting his offer, much like Magnus did at Tizca. That combined with Barbarus' fixation on 7 (Nurgle's big on numerology and 7 is his number) leads me to believe Magnus and the Sons weren't the only ones affected by a Chaos God from the outset, and it's likely that many of the traitors were already "tainted".

Wow thank u for that

@@papanurgle8393 like I'm going to trust the word of a pus filled god of chaos. You can't trick me Nurgle, the Emperors will is strong within me and allows me to see through your lies! You will not taint me!

DOES IT LIKE

Based

I'm present enuff, but representatives of the the galactic console peasants' union are squatting on that land LoL

It was not in the lease my child

i actually did NOT know that jesus thank you! hahah

It was due to him being marked my nurgle (Nurgle's sacred number is 7).

All of Barbarus had an OCD for the number 7

@@papanurgle8393 Barbarus was a poisonous death world before it got obliterated by the Imperium, your handywork? If so that would explain the population's likeness to 7

And even his Legion fleet is obsessed with number 7. 70 Capital ships. 210 Escorts. Divided with 7. And also assuming each escort carries 70 DG, each cruiser 700, each battle barge 2100 (3x700), and Mortarion'd flagship 4900 (7x700), you get roughly about the ballpark of DG Marines in total.

It would be kind of hilarious if they did a Mortarion Morty in the backround of a scene.

Goddamn that show fuckin' sucks.

Or maybe this is a Morty who got rid of his Rick and went all Deathy edge lord

@@-Gilver no he became a deathy edge lord after he joined nurgle, he probably killed his rick when he was still living in Barbarus

@@amandag.6186 Well that would explain who the necromancer adoptive father was then it was just an deathy edgy version of Rick

this one's for you then big cat! ;)

HERETIC!!!

"Have a norovirus day."

oh you're totally right on the actual NUMBER of marines, i meant strictly by legions :)

thank you very much dude! i've been reading these books for so long, so i try to deliver it in that same sort of informative narrative :D

You remind me of arch warhammer!

Thank you so much, that's such high praise!

thank you very much man, that is an extremely generous comment! welcome to the family :)

hahahah i heard you through the nether!

Hahahah thank you very much man.. I've been playing for over 20 years.. So I get things wrong every so often, but I try to really nail it as best I can. I love telling me some stories! Was there anything you wanted me to cover?!

@@italianspartacus I just found your channel so I'm still searching. If you have any videos or info on the C'tan gods or what happen to them after the war in heaven I'd like to check it out. They seem very interesting. No worries if you don't have any info on them though. Your channel has a lot of other great content. Still can't believe I'm just finding your channel after so many years of watching random 40k channels.

Well I just recently really started branching into 40k!! But I fully intend on breaking into the War of Heaven and the aftermath! :D so stay tuned my bro

@@italianspartacus Hell yeah man👍

OH MAN! I totally forgot to edit the description, which I typically do. Thanks! :D unfortunately there's not a ton of death guard "Further reading" :(

i really loosely touched on it, but you're right! i probably should have gone into his disdain for psykers and the lengths he tried to go to on that

I quite like Mortys development in that area, he even sees a decent glimpse of the Emp's webway plans and yet still turns his back despite it so perfectly matching his own goals. I guess his daddy issues ran deep enough that he just saw Empy as another psyker tyrant and that blinded him. Still one of the best videos I've seen on him (and the lion one) that doesn't go into tedious detail but gives a comprehensive breakdown of the guy. Really good man, looking forward to more :)

thanks dude! that was the goal: talk about the primarch, give you a really great idea of who he was and his history and spare you the details that are better left to the authors that masterfully crafted his image! but i totally agree.. he has been blinded and solo since the start.. that's the duality and irony of his character.. he's singular minded and "end justifies the means" type individual, but doesn't realize the Emp's plans and how they are the same thing: ends justifies the means!

It's kinda funny how both embraced "end justifies the means" yet Morty turned. I guess he wasn't able to appreciate just how far the Emperor was willing to take that concept, or what was at stake if he didn't. Kinda tragic he lost sight of the big picture and instead ended up as an swole plague monster for the rest of eternity.

I WHOLE heartedly plan on doing sanguinius next my dude :)

ItalianSpartacus Thank you so much my brother

Rick caused the Cronenburging. Rick= Grandfather = Grandfather Nurgle! :D It all makes sense now; seems fairly legit

I'm sure by now you're aware of the 30k table-top game; if not check it out. Play as your favourite Primarch/Legion. The Perturabo model is Bad-ass!

oh and you most certainly shall! :)

hahahah glad you enjoyed it :)

oh!? anyone come to mind?

Yes, Baldemort, Tatica Imperialis, A Border Prince, and 40k Theories, as well as Leutin would all be good choices.

Praise be the big pappa!

Good Lad

I like Nurgle's positive attitude.

EASILY dark crusade.. because it adds the whole like planetary warfare/risk mode. it's SO fucking good. i miss it a lot man

oh man i never thought of that- such a great point! thank you!

Yes!! Blood for the blood god!!!

always man! more to come :)

Eventually yes!! :)

@@italianspartacus Excellent Carry on Brother.

hahaha thank you so much :D

extremely.. gotta make that flying zombie fly slower! :D

ost66 I feel like he is.... BUT... We didn't get a reveal this past week at GW when they announced the dark angel codex.. So it might come next week. If he is indeed in the codex.

IT SHALL COMETH!

thanks exar kun! ;) it shall be sooooon!

Nice to see you re also SW fan =)

Ivan Grabar very very much so!!!

May I ask are you SW EU fan or you like both?

man i love both.. die-hard SW fan in all iterations.. but i've read so much EU. the darth bane series is, and always will be, one of my favorites.. i also really like what drew karpyshyn did for the old republic. in order of subjects i know the most about it's star wars = warhamer 40k > warhammer fantasy > LOTR

Then you are most welcome friend!

Mebe! ;)

WELCOME TO THE FAMILY

thanks atticus!

that's a hell of a way of lookign at it hahaha

SEWWWWWWWN

@@italianspartacus RABBLERABBLERABBLERABBLERABBLERABBLERABBLERABBLERABBLERABBLE

Lion El'Johnson! :)

i could definitely get down with that in time :)

we .... SHALL SEE!

i'll be honest, i thought we were going to get an honest attempt at an Emperor's Children legion with Fulgrim returning since he's the one that killed Guilliman the first time. Mortarion and Bobby-G don't really have much history.. Lorgar or Fulgrim would have made far more sense

Think of the children, Spartacus! We can't possibly make Slaneesh a family friendly content. XD " Bobby-G is back! with- his arch enemy-oh... Censor.censor.censor "

I think we're going to the specific god aligned legions first, World Eaters and Emperors Children, since we got Thousand Suns and Death Guard first.

hahaha thanks so much man, always love seeing your comments dude. i really appreciate the kind words my brother! :D

@@italianspartacus no problem my pal from across the "great ocean" as old ginger one eye wud say haha now get that friggin Konrad Curze primarch vid polished up and released! Dewwww it!!! 😆😆😆

Or maybe do a Fulgrim primarch vid next talking about his legion 'The Empypoos Children' and his flagship 'Pride of The Emypoo' 😂😂😂

Yup! :)

@@italianspartacus Thank the Emperor!

don't worry! i didn't forget about you cape! i put it on hold, just waiting to get a bit closer to Jan. i don't want to drum up a ton of excitement and then.... nothing! but i got something else planned for this week for TW that i know you'll dig ;)

Aaah Yis! I understand IS, just can't wait lol too excited! And for the Co-op campaign as well! You do great work an I shall always add a like to any of your vids, until I can actually donate (hopefully soon)

why's that?! he's been in lore pretty recently though! he was banished by almost the entire grey knights chapter

Nope I doubt it. They confirmed in the DA codex the Lion is awake in the rock fully recovered. He is just waiting for the right time to reveal himself.

Kirk Edward hey man that counts as back and alive to me!!!!

*"TEN THOUSAND YEARS OF DOING BASICALLY NOTHING IS BORING! SURE, I LOST TO ALL THOSE GREY KNIGHTS THAT ONE TIME, BUT AT LEAST I WAS HAVING FUN!"*

Hmm the wording on your question kind of confuses me.. But the gene seed is implanted into the recruit.. And the seed itself is usually centuries old, if not millennia. The original legions were all Terran born until they met their Primachs and they received r ecruits from their primarchs home world to reinforce them. Does any of that help??

@@italianspartacus Yes it does I do appreciate that, amazing videos by the way, loved the one on Sanguinius, my favorite too. Love to hear these on my commute thank you.

of course man! thank you so much for watching :)

Also I'm glad mortarion is the cleanest follower of nurgle gives me a reason to believe that you dont have to be unclean to follow Nurgle

@@devintodd4341 For the glory of grandfather Nurgle !
