The Death Guard are one of the Traitor Legions of Chaos Space Marines. They worship and devote themselves exclusively to the Chaos God Nurgle and as a result of his mutational "gifts" they have become Plague Marines; Astartes who are eternally rotting away within their power armour and infected with every known form of disease and decay but who are immune to all pain or minor injury.
I remember reading the Siege of Terra series and there was an interesting conversation between two Death Guard troopers. They were talking about how they didn't even hate the loyalists like their cousins in the other legions. They didn't feel much of anything even at that point in the Heresy; there was this general sense of apathy and contentment and they fought the loyalists because that's just what they do. I don't have a page number to cite since I listened to it on Audible, but I will try and get a timestamp for the conversation. I want to say it was in "Warhawk" as the Death Guard are situated at the Eternity Wall Space Port before it was retaken.
I'd love to hear or read this cause that's actually really interesting
@@thecrtf4953 I will check for the timestamp when I get home. I just thought it was cool because this Death Guard almost has an epiphany where he is like "I don't give a shit about anything."
@@thecrtf4953 FOUND IT! It is a conversation between Gremus Kalgaro and Zadal Crosius as they watch watch a Death Guard armored column rolls by. I believe that Caipha Morag also has conversations regarding this issue with the two of them in other parts as well. This particular conversation is from Part 1, Chapter 2 of Warhawk.
Kalgaro: "I wanted so much to be the first, you know that. First over the walls; I thought we'd earned it."
Crosius: "Doesn't seem to matter now, does it?"
Kalgaro: "It doesn't. I don't even hate them much to be honest. I just fight because its....interesting. But ignore me, I don't mean that."
Crosius: "Relax, i'm not an informant. Besides, I feel the same way."
@@Shooter762 I always got the feeling that of all the traitor legions the Death Guard were the most "bro'e" of them.
Like the other legions generally hate one another and are just waiting for a chance to stab one another in the back, but Death Guard are real brothers man.
@@Lazysupermutant Most of them, but always remember what a piece of shit Ignatius Grulgor was, not to mention Calas Typhon's shenanigans. Solon Decius gets a pass since the pain of his wounds allowed the Lord of the Flies to take over his body, so it wasn't really him in control.
Fun fact. Jaghatai Khan got stabbed with a plague knife and it actually made a Him, Primarch, sick which isn’t supposed to happen. He wasn’t cured until the White Scars fell back to within the Emperor’s psychic field surrounding the Imperial Palace. The psychic field also caused the knife to disintegrate in the Khan’s hand. 👍🏽
Jaghatai ain’t no bitch too, that just means the Nurgilites bring it packing
Daemonic Disease, bless Papa Nurgle. Death to the misguided.
Same with Horus. It ended up being a large part in why he fell to chaos (also Erebus).
fff
@@ashtonanolte Erebus didn't fall to chaos. He motherfucking swandived off the cliffedge into the ocean that is heresy.
Death Guard is so toxic that even the undead soulless machines got sick. That is another level of toxicity.
So toxic it would make a internet troll cry.
They're almost as toxic as 2016 UA-cam.
They even play league....
@@robrib2682 nah m8 they more toxic than league and xbox 360 lobbies
COMBINED
They so toxic they make certain reddit forums look like a newly built hospital
Ever wonder what happens to the death guard when their connection to the warp gets severed and they're already super diseased? They feel EVERYTHING.
Makes the whole "Grandpa Nurgle" thing much more understandable...they are like children, helpless without their Grandpappy...and separation is perhaps the only thing they are truly afraid of...
Now that I think about it...A Night Lord torturing a Death Guard would be a weird inversion of their normal tactics...I can imagine Konrad sitting there reading endless books about the springtime and hygiene manuals to his Death Guard captive until he goes insane..."Pain is in the mind, but fear is in the soul."
naw they don't feel anything
they'd just vanish with warp or die instantly, since the diseases come from the warp
@@Biodeamon Well it happened to a bunch of Nurgle boys when Big E woke up from his power nap. They felt all the pain of their mutated bodies.
@@42Mrgreenman nice quote attempt but it’s not true it is. Pain could easily be in the soul, especially emotional torture induced pain. Fear is in the mind surely because it’s the prerequisite to avoid/prepare for/fight a threat. Switch the saying around and I think you’re onto a winner tho
@The shy one we do not discuss the great clean ones....
The thing people forget is that while Nurgle loves his children, his followers are not his children. The contagions he inflicts on them are, his followers are just petri dishes.
Oh....ooooooooooh hoho. If that's true, that means he *fakes* any love/attachment he might show to the traitors?
@@floricel_112 That affection isn't directed towards the traitors at all, it's directed to the diseases they're carrying.
@@cousinzeke4888 that. Is. GREAT!
I didn't really need more reasons to hate Nurgle, but I'm glad for it nonetheless
I find it best not to think of it that way
More or less what they've BECOME at the time they are literal plaguemarines or... ya know, Typhus being basically a mini-daemonprince, etc.@@cousinzeke4888
Bricky be like "I'm gonna make my own plagues with blackjack and muscle girls"
Love you boys, love the podcast, but as a Death Guard snob I must comment this
The Dusk Raiders were the Terran born Astartes and fun fact they were Albanian. They got the name Dusk Raiders because they fought at night, but they were NOT from Barbarus as Bricky misstated (I blame his drinking lmao). The Death Guard was the name of Mortarion's army before he ever met the Emperor. He pulled a Leman Russ and had as many of his troops from his old army turned into Astartes.
Mortarion really liked chemical warfare, so gasmasks, trench weapons, specialty artillery and hand grenades were the go to for the legion. And Bricky is right in saying that it's all just plague themed now.
"Old Albia" might be Britain. It's about the right place in the map. No one is quite sure. It could be that they were a legion of scausers before.
I like to think of the unbroken as the best trench fighters in the galaxy. The kriegsmen fearlessly die, the Death Guard thrive. Their combat doctrine was "simple but robust" pretty much the opposite of the Alpha Legion. There is of course the new book coming so we'll probably learn a lot more and hopefully get a more sympathetic Mortarion.
@@chrisc7563 Nathaniel Garro the Death Guard loyalist who became one of the Knights Errant of Malcador Is believed a descendant of King Arthur himself and his power sword Libertas Is Excalibur reforged.
Not Albanian. They were from Alba, which is an old name for Scotland.
GW are an English company, so they made the disease-filled reprobates of 40k Scottish.
@@davidfrancisco3502 Yeah I cut that from my comment but almost mentioned the King Arthur link. Garro was the first Head of the Inquisition if I remember rightly, got punched by Rogal Dorn for telling the truth and all sorts. But yeah, British legend. Old Albia is also about where GB is on the maps I've seen though.
not from Albania lol, from England (Albia/Albion)

If you'd like to read more about them I would highly recommend "the lords of silence" as it shows how, although the death guard look slow and dumb. They're actually pretty smart. No spoilers but there's themes of old vs new death guard, a really great story there
Fuckin Vorx
I second it. That was a great book. Cant wait for sequel. Hope it will turn into trilogy or series.
One book after the Cadia. One at the start of the Plague wars, one at the end of the Plague wars.
Oh ya, this needs to be put on the list for the book club!
After years of being a warhammer fan but mostly just being in the books, lore videos, and video games I finally started my own army with my favorites the death guard. Working on the lore for my home brew warband I’m calling the blighted maw, so far got some blightlord terminators, lord of virulence, deathshroud, and just got the apothecary and banner holder characters
Those Deathshrouds are such dope models. I'm assembling my second unit now. They gotta be my favorite behind Morty.
Get you a BlisterBorn Knight, son!
Say by to your wallet
@@xaga8794 that's true, but maybe he can do with some of the smaller ones
If you like CCG there is a warhammer card game called hours Heresy legion and you can play death guard and even play Mortarion as your warlord.
In DK's defence he is talking about the episode called "MORTARION & FALL OF THE DEATH GUARD", and its from the time they did Primarch+legion in one episode, so it is easy to understand he thought they talk about DG already.
Also I could swear there was a video titled something like "DEATH GUARD: ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING" but I can't seem to find it. So either that title got changed, or the video I'm thinking of got yeeted, or somehow I imagined the whole thing.
@@Gormathius No you're 100% right. That was the episode where they had their first guest on. it was one of their first episodes, but they renamed it to the title that Miguel mentioned. Not sure why TBH.
@@Twinrune Unless I’m mistaken, it’s their only guest episode to date right?
@@cryamistellimek9184 I’m definitely late but they also had a guest for the tanks episode and dreadnaught episode.
@@cryamistellimek9184 Kirioth showed up twice for dreadnoughts and tanks and the author of twice dead king: Rein showed up for a interview
Looking forward to them going into more detail about Kugath and his origins given he's the perfect example of how forgiveness is one of nurgle's key traits
For those not in the know Kugath was a nurgleing s(h)itting on nurgles shoulder while Grandpa cooked his greatest disease ever when Kugath slipped and fell in then drank the whole vat which turned him into a greater unclean one but rather than getting mad or cursing kugath Nurgle just laughed at the whole thing and patted his head which made Kugath feel even worse about it so he's basically the only great unclean one in Nurgles service with depression which Ironically makes him connect with Mortarion who hates being stuck in Nurgle's garden because its like being stuck on its a small world after all but the singing kids are replaced with singing trashbags made of guts and other unmentionable liquids
Depression has many forms.
Ku'Gath: "I'M SORRY PAPA, I'M SOOORRY!!! WAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH"
Mortarion: "FOR THE LOVE OF NURGLE STOP FUCKING SINGING, FUUUUUUUUUUCCCCKKKKKK!!!!"
Wait, so Nurgle loves counting, numbers, methodical fighting, the cycle of life and death… Nurgle is a Chaos God of Order!
You aren't wrong szeetch (hope I spelt that right) hates him because nurgle is all about constants while szeetch is all about change
@@stringisacrow5959 nope! You spelled Tzeentch and Slaanesh's hate child 😂😂
yes
More like the Chaos God of OCD.
DK's underwhelmed reaction to that the manreapers are giant *power* scythes makes me think he doesn't really understand yet what *POWER* weapons are in 40k
I mean duh, It's never explained. I've been a fan of 40k for 5 years nows and even I still don't know
@@Kfo221basically, weapons with an area of pure destruction around it. Think weapon, and now it can cut through just about everything.
I´ve been looking forward to this since Bricky said, that he wanted to return to them at some point
Maybe I'm a dick, but that comma infuriates me in the most petty way
if DK can bring up farsight and then immediately gets an episode on them, then Goddamit we can do Deathguard alone 😂
I painted nurgle's emblem on space station 13 yesterday, now there's an episode on the death guard, there are no coincidences in the grim darkness of the universe
Love me some virology shenanigans
@@ggefgtherobust4076 run out of monkeys? they clown will become your monkey
43:05 they count and do things like that because nurgle is associated with hopeless drudgery, monotony, qnd tasks without end. Basically the god of shitty office jobs.
The plague bearers are forced to count all the plagues and diseases created by Nurgle singing and if you made them lose the rythm and forget the counting when you attack them that will piss them off and the will go to kill you.
Get me the death company, the dread wing and Sly Marbo. We are ending this god blight of apathy this minute.
The Blight grenade stratagem, The Blightening, is one of my personal favorites for the flavor.
Basically, squads of Plague Marines, preferably in the midst of a melee with the enemy, pull out their blight grenades in unison, pull the pins and just hold them until they detonate.
Just showering the entire melee, friend and foe, in unmentionable foulness. Granddad's foes probably won't have a good time, but this is but a refreshing breeze, a spring shower to a plague marine. They love it.
There is a nice tidbit about Mortarion: he is the only model in 40k who has a Phosphex weapon, being his Phosphex Grenades.
Not quite true. The Tech Priest Dominus can take a relic called Phospheonix and it absolutely fucks. However I do wonder if Mortarion, the consumate alchemist/chemist might know how to make phosphex still while Adeptus Mechanicus forgot after someone destroyed the plans (he was tied to a stake and shot with Phospheonix).
Are there not phosphor pistols? The Sulphur hounds have them
Are those different?
@@mr.potato2223 They're different. They fire phosphor which is a real thing. Phosphex is the 40k nightmare fuel version. The STC was lost for it so they use a pale imitation. I made another comment about it but admech have a single phosphex gun, it's a relic called the phosphoenix. When one of their number destroyed the STCs because phosphex is genuinely that awful they tied him to a stake and shot him with the phosphoenix.
*Correction: followers of Slaanesh wind up experiencing dissatisfaction, disappointment, disillusionment, and the gnawing, frustrating anxiety attending the unfulfilled desire for more, and more, and more excess the longer they remain in the thrall of She Who Thirsts.*
*As they become increasingly numb to sensation, requiring ever escalating stimulation to feel anything at all, they're left empty. They become dissolute, hollowed out shells chasing the next high and never achieving it; or never achieving it for long enough to satisfy. Think the most extreme example of a junky you can picture. Now add to that immortality, forced to live with unsatisfied addiction for all eternity. That's a follower of Slaanesh.*
*Nurgle's children, by contrast, are genuinely happy and perfectly content with their lot in life with no unrequited desires to plague them.*
Lol, *plague* them.
Sounds dope, not gonna lie.
The downside is that you're basically dead and only being kept alive by Nurgle's influence.
In one story some Death Guard were cut off from the warp and they immediately began screaming in agony before falling dead since all of their organs had failed a long time ago and they could now feel the rot.
@@TheLangenator Which, more or less, applies to any follower of Chaos; Nurgle or otherwise. Once one pledges to Chaos, their soul is pretty much forfeit. It just becomes a matter of time. Nurgle's followers, obviously, have their consequences front-loaded and made physically manifest as dead, decaying bodies. But all of the Chaos Gods corrupt body and soul, eventually; each in their own way.
@@TheLangenator Considering that their insides have been mush for centuries, I'd be more inclined to believe that they just keel over on the spot, like a zombie turning back into an inert corpse.
The whole talk about Death Guard being slow and steady is always funny to me, who in 4th ed was considering putting together a death guard bikers army.
WARLORD TRAIT: THE DRONING
The Warlord is surrounded by a cloud of fat plague flies, who harass the Death Guards enemies and eat away at round casings, coolant vats and fuel containment canisters.
This WARLORD has the following ability:
‘The Droning (Contagion): While an enemy unit is within Contagion Range of this unit, at the start of your opponent’s Movement phase, halve that enemy unit’s Move characteristic until the end of the phase.’
SHIT, I confused them
@@Bricky It's ok, DK said Dark Knight when seeing Typhus's pre Nurgle model. At which I think he meant to say Gray Knight.
I figured the lore was...some kind of droning or buzzing insect sound used as a sonic weapon...but it blows up or dismantles your fuel and ammo supplies, annoys the shit out of you, and has giant flies to boot...yay...
I believe that the Death Guard and Salamanders are the two "largest" legions in terms of the physical size of their average Astartes.
Isn't that actually Alpha Legion? Biggest Astartes, but smallest Prmarch(s)
@@znalniaskas I have read that as well, but forgot about them. Thanks for the reminder my friend.
They chonk
@@Shooter762 just as planned
@@mr.potato2223 Thicccccccc
Ive read the title "IMPERIAL GUARD: WE ARE NURGLE'S REAPING BLADE" and was like - wait a minute something aint right

That is so cursed it’ll probably happen.
Massive malady milkers
dont give GW any ideas...
"urge to kill, rising"
Plague "sorceress"
More death guard, grand father nurgle smiles upon us today!
I don't know why. I can just picture the Death Guard being like the Toxin Tractors in Command & Conquer: Generals & Zero Hour. With their quotes. Just laughing it up and watching their enemies just gag and gasp for air as they die from the toxic air.
"Hehe, aged to perfection."
"Would you like to try some?"
They would 100% use the bombtruck with the toxin upgrade.
This entire episode encapsulates why if I were to have to fight the forces of 1 chaos god, nurgle would be my last choice.
slaanesh would be mine. at least your not suffer forever.
@@richardlair6981 You have it entirely backwards. Slaanesh is all about seeking pleasure, seeking sensation, and never having enough. Slaanesh will make you a drug fiend, never satisfied, numb to the things that once gave you joy as you desperately seek out another hit that will never be enough. Slaaneshi's don't mutilate themselves because it's fun, they do it because anything less does nothing for them. And when your never ending search for greater and greater sensation to fill the emptiness inside you for even just a moment all but inevitably leads you to your death, Slaanesh will devour your soul and you will be gone.
Nurgle on the other hand takes away all pain and discomfort and fills you with contentment and joy. Nurgle doesn't care if you want to spread his love or just sit on your couch forever. Nurgle will whisper encouragement for what you want to do, will support you in being yourself and not needing more or better just as much as he will support you in seeking to improve and spread his diseases. Under the aegis of Nurgle, you feel no pain and suffering, know no fear or discomfort, and will be eternally happy. And if somehow you should fall, Nurgles garden awaits you where you can lounge in the Grandfather's care for eternity or seek to venture back out into real space if that's your thing.
@@notsae66 exactly. thats why i woud choose slaneesh as my last choas god to fight.
@@richardlair6981 Okay, I totally missed that this discussion was about _fighting_ a god's forces rather than joining them. Yeah, Nurgle and Slaanesh are definitely not pleasant tonight against, though Tzeentch is also pretty terrible. Khorne is the best, his guys will prolly just kill you relatively quickly.
@@notsae66 yea, you fight nurgle you get bad disease ten die, you fight slaneesh you get dragged to the pits of hell to be tortured fro years then turned into a sofa to live eternally in pain.
54:00 _Sound of glass breaking_ "That is literally the worst thing you could have said." -Bricky, Ordo Amogus
That quote in the beginning is proof that Mortarion is more of a petulant man-child than Perturabo
I see you're a man of culture
@@phylippezimmermannpaquin2062 But of course
Flesh rots and Metal rusts, but all decays for our Plague Father.
Flail of Corruption note:
In 8th edition, the damage was spread over the entire unit, not just 1 guy.
So if you made 2 hit rolls, and it totaled 4 damage (lets say), instead of 2 dead marines, it was 4 dead marines
MORE DEATH GUARD?! LETSGOOOOO
Edit: I am surprised they didn't talk about the Lord of Virulence considering it is a new unit/ model, and it has a badass design.
OH THE SMELL OH GOD
Man you are just everywhere huh
@@suppmydiff3257 Jorm knows how to get around
Aren't there like seven different kinds of plaguelords?
@@johnj.spurgin7037 never too many plague Lords
Those scythes being called Manreapers always reminds me of a weapon in Fallout 3 called The Manopener. It is a giant handhelt circular saw that you use as a melee weapon. It is not as diseased as the Nurgle weapon but the chances are pretty good that it will give you tetanus if you survive it.
I'd say Tetanus is your smallest concern when being attacked with a circular saw.
2:55 hell yeah dude
Also Nurgle propositioning Mortarion like he's selling him a pizza is exactly how I imagined it went down
According to the lore of Adeptus Ridiculous most of the legions of chaos are italian, and i like that.
50:00 Do ya think the death guard make bad jokes and puns when throwing the death's head grenade?...
.
.

.
.
"Let's help them get ahead in life, brother!"
"Here, your friend says hi, just ask him!"
"Heads up!"
"Hey guardsman, incoming reinforcements!"
After battle..."Now that was a heady fight."
I bet it's, "Heads up!" as it sounds surprisingly similar to "Frag out!"...
I absolutely love the idea of Nurgle boys making corny jokes in combat, that fits them so well.
(only to Iron Hands) what an honour, to be headed towards your primarch!
I will say that a theoretical clean, 'Original" look for some of the Death Guard stuff would be right up my ally. Sanitize the literal hell OUT of it, remove the spikes, and you've got some sleek gear. Like the mortar vehicle, or the bloat drones.
Oh, and you need a short episode on power weapons, since I'm not sure you've ever clarified for DK or your audience what those are. There's also the ridiculousness of the power shield with a built in bolt pistol and lasgun.
This coming out while I'm extraordinarily sick can't be a coincidence
Grandfather is ready to see you now.
Y'know what, Nurgle's one of the better Choas gods to worship.
accept papa nurgle's love
I will. I get to keep my mind and I no longer feel pain and I finally have a family who loves me!
It can be and is.
It still enrages me that you can't outright buy Lord of Contagions. You have to get them in a box
7:35 Honestly it'd be pretty on-brand if their melee weapons just fall apart inside the victim where the fragments turn into slugs because warp shenanigans.
For good stories after the fall of Cadia, I would look to Shroud of Night by Andy Hall. It has a little bit of what the alpha legion are up to, Kharn, Celestine, and what the Imperium is trying to do to fix this mess
Lukewarm take:
All traitor Legions looked cooler before they got tainted by chaos.
Death Guards and Thousand Sons had cool as coulor schemes
Emperor's Children had a really cool royal purple thing going
Arguably the word bearers got cooler after the heresy. Suddenly tattoos and spikes became all the fashion rage. Before that they were just ecclesiastical. Church people are boring.
They made a hulk with a giant book on its prow that opened to reveal a giant gun barrel for a ship-sized plasma lance. Hillarifying
my favourite scheme. unpainted and pine green.
Night Lords didn't change lol, they look the exact same both Pre and Post.
Pre heresy Emperor's Children and World Eaters have two of my favourite colour schemes
So how do the Krieg do against the Death Guard? Both are siege experts who like a long drawn out war, and Krieg can match Death Guard for their toxin resistance due to living on Krieg.
Vraks has shown us they don’t fair all that well against the Death Guard.
@@ancientgearsynchro true, but they fair a LOT better vs their chaos corruption then most would due to being religious fanatics seeking martyrdom
Death Guard is an Astartes Unit, and no matter how badass the imperial Guard are, they are outclassed.
@@S3verusMyGI wonder about Lucifer Blacks vs Death Guard? We’ve seen a Lucifer Black sergeant vs a chaos primarch (Horus?) while the sergeant still died… he did well for a normal human with great training and some of the best weapons ever. Being able to even get a scratch is a huge achievement for a normal human being, but its kinda just like the Thanos all that for a drop of blood scene 😂
@@shogunender8752Lucifer blacks, solar auxilia, etc, the human forces created and trained to be peak human power are definitely good. They stand up well, especially for normal ass human beings who just happen to have the best training and equipment. It's too bad there aren't more 40k playable human groups that are power armor wearing badasses...like, imagine training a catachan and giving them power armor to use. The heresy stuff is good and it's really a shame that they don't exist more as factions or special characters we can use in the main game time-frames 😢
I might be going insane, but didn’t we already get a death guard video?
EMPERORS CHILDREN WHEN??
RESET THE CLOCK
Man, please do an episode on the word bearers. They're really interesting and have a lot of really cool lore
I'm obsessed of that video of lorgar narrating his orchestra of the warp to Magnus
@@phylippezimmermannpaquin2062 I'm the same. It's such an amazing video
6:31
"He's a little confused but he's got the spirit"
The Death Guard are supposedly poise to push in through Tau space. I really hope GW follows up on this plot thread.
they could have just called themselves plagues, the 7 plagues sounds better then the 7 plague companies
After the Mortarion part I'm surprised they didn't talk about Godblight so I'm guessing they didn't read it.
You guys seem to be forgetting that ALL followers of Chaos feel good about their allegiance. Slaanesh is obvious, Nurgle bios you’ve covered already, Khorne followers LOVE the act of combat, and the Tzeentch lot are getting off on “ultimate cosmic power” , as they see it.
Chaos has some serious perks, if you have the right mindset. The vast majority of chaos followers have good reasons for following the path, even though ( in the majority of cases) it ultimately leads to their destruction .
I play Deathguard, "nerf" isn't 100% accurate. The best unit got cheaper, but yeah, most stuff is more expensive now. Though, I ran 40 poxwalkers in 1k army, and they're still deece.
Yes it got cheaper and you can no longer use it as to the last target. So it was a shadow nerf :P
39:42
That smile is the most infectious thing here 👉👈
The tallyman could also be keeping score on how the diseases act, how the victims react to the diseases, how many died, any immunities, speed of spread, all that.
Nurgle is known to always be concocting new diseases so the Tallyman probably speaks directly to Nurgle and it's followers so they can work around any issues they find
I would have loved to hear them talk about the Myphitic Blight-haulers, Foetid Bload-Drones, and especially Fleshmowers but still a great episode! Wish I could get the thumbnail as a poster!
This was a good episode to listen to while eating dinner ngl
I lived close to where dk is taking about and can confirm that yes the dust is orange and will wreck your shit.
Great podcast as always boys and shy kinda wanna commit to the guard now
I'm so ready for the spreading of love ...

26:10 Simping for Lotara - you're welcome
Tbf I think the main thing that hurt Deathguard recently was the general rule change that makes it so you can't really mix subfactions.
I like how some of D.K and Bricky statements have age poorly from the older videos

@@Sara3346 enthusiasm and happiness are not quite the same...

More Nurgle, i want more Pox and more Entropy
54:33 "throw that as in a circle Mortarrian" -Bricky
Nurgle got recked by Big E
So any battle against the forces of Nurgle immediately turns into a battle of attrition that you aren't likely to win. Longer you fight the more likely you are to get a terminal illness
I painted my death guard to be a bunch of rusty, rusty, rusty boys with flesh colored tentacles and all kinds of gross to go around, and may I just say
I've never been this excited for an episode.
Thousand Sons, World Eaters, and Emperor’s Children go very hard into their themes. Each deserve their own respective codexes.
You need to read The Word Bearers Trilogy!!!
Yes!
"You can play 40k ON TOP of the Manta"
You jest.... but I do want to run something narrative on top of one......
Have 2 warlords have a melee fight on top of one. Maybe Farsight rides on top of the Manta to go fight Chaos, Abaddon teleports onto it by accident, and the 2 just duel on top of it.

Not to get political, but I'm really glad Shy brought up the scarlet rot problem in Ohio.
That is why that state is like that, right?

Upsets me that the death guard are so grim. They missed a huge opportunity to make Mortarion jovial and happy like a proper nurgle daemon.
Eh, It’s apart of his character to be bitter.
Plus Mortarion hates slavery, by pledging himself and his legion to Nurgle, he enslaved them all. Kind of a good reason to be bitter.
Love the Death Guard they are in a three way tie for second in 40k with the Iron Warriors and Night Lords for traitor legions with the Thousand Sons being my favorite traitor force.
deathshroud are still some good as hell minis. back when orks had an 8th codex i had 5 of them teleport in a single corner i couldnt screen and they brought my morkanaut from full to 0 wounds in 1 round. i wasnt even mad that was amazing to watch
I'd be mad about the I.E slander but this is the only time I've ever heard it spoken of outside of it so you win this time DK.
True when ever I talk about the I.E people don't know it exists and I have to tell the that it's the slum before big bear. Lol.
@@atinmiles3985 Idk fun place to grow up 9/10.
39:45 ... that's the trollface.
It's literally trollface with a helmet on.
damn perfect timing the best adeptus ridiculus video and the best hammer and bolter episode came out today. Grandfather blesses us brothers
How DARE you leave out the chosen sons of Mortarion! 😂 I love the show guys. Keep up the great work.
He said death guard first. He got it.
The word you got stuck on (fecundity) is pronounced feck-un-ditty. It's a great word. Fecund means "Capable of producing offspring or vegetation; fruitful. Characterized by or suggestive of fertility." So it's basically saying that things are becoming more ripe and full of fertile plagues.
Out of all the chaos space marines, the Death Guard look the sickest (both figuratively AND literaly!)

I absolutely love Shys editing of memes in the background and her sarcastic smug Humor ^_^
Dk gets the win. Shame for not immediately going "yup! You got it!"
DK is the very definition of the phrase "failing upwards."
When you called deathgaurd happy go-getters with horrible smelling feet I realized that i am deathgaurd and I have chosen the right army.
Four words "death guard demon kielbasa"
these dudes are best friends with the great horned rat
Glad to know other people belt out “Nuclear”. Hell of a song.
5:51 I'll be waiting for my Ultramarines episode thank you very much my good sir.
DK sounds like Fry?
" I see Death Guard? Ah crud. "
You know could mortarion somehow cause the orks to win by forcing trayzn to release the crork to fight morty which would increase the tech level of every ork in the universe to Crork levels which would shat on every other species
I feel that will never happen in the lore but is funny to think about
orks... a green fungus spreading across the galaxy like a plague...
yeah that sounds pretty nurgle to me...
Crork?
@@thecrtf4953 i think he meant the krork or brain Boyz as the orks call them... From the war in heaven times...
@@thecrtf4953 Orks during the war in heaven
They were scary as shit and were generally pretty overpowered with power armour more complex than the most advanced custodes
Imagine reading this sentence with no knowledge of 40k.
Love the content, been playing the videos in the background while I die repeatedly in Elden Ring. also when we gonna get an episode on Big E's best buddy Malcador? interested to hear how DK reacts to Malcador confessing his past to a dying woman
16:22 man nurgle and his goons keep making enemies of the necrons
53:58 Zamn, gimme some of that Typhussy 😫
These guys might be right up there as the group I'd least want to encounter in the 40k universe 😅
11:25 funny enough, PlayOnTabletop had an episode where a Manta was part of the play surface.
