My favorite thing about the Death Guard models is that most of the bigger models have little nurglings running around. I love looking at all the models and trying to find all the little guys running around.
New to this hobby (sort of, used to paint d & d a long time ago) - your channel is one of the better I have found, really appreciate the content and the inspiration.
Miguel Álvarez ?? 🤔 I’m wondering if I’m being dense now. Magnus did break The Emperor’s webway gate and broke the council of Nikea’s edict. Heretic in my eyes. Russ was only meant to bring him in though not annihilate them.
Magnus wasn't a traitor until his Legion got exiled to the Eye, it's reflected by his actions on Prospero, choosing to "accept fate" rather than fight out of a sense of loyalty, believing that, if he fought at full force and broke the Wolves, the Imperium would be robbed of 2 legions instead of just 1, he also tried to parlay with Russ and would no doubt have been ready to fix his mistakes, had Russ followed the actual orders given directly by the Emperor instead of being a fucking sock pupet for Horus, which he probably realized by the end of the Heresy. Honestly though, by the time Prospero burned, Tzeentch had gripped Magnus and the Sons him by the ginger pubed scrotum sack. He undeniably, colossally and monumentally fucked up, causing more damage to the structure of the Imperium at the time than Lorgar's Ruinstorm, even big E knew he wasn't a traitor at that point, he also knew Magnus was critical for his human-webway plans. His royal "Oopsies!" was more a product of him suffering from the same lack of knowledge about the Chaos powers his brothers had, and their many...quirks... But that was basically was the bedrock of the Heresy as a whole. Though frankly Tzeentch's duplicitous and shitty manipulation or exploitation of Magnu's ignorance and curiosity didn't make things much easier. Interestingly enough, one could argue present day Magnus and "mortal" Magnus are no longer the same entity anymore, one being more akin to a dark reflection of the other. Unlike Mortarion, who ascended whole, Magnus's soul fragmented into shards that were scattered across the galaxy this after his Legion vanished into the eye. One of his shards even merged with Revuel Arvida to create the first Grey Knights Grand Master, Janus. When Magnus did finally ascend, he was still technically "incomplete" and he spent time piecing himself back together into a daemonic entity called the "crimson king", which is as close to Magnus as you can get... but with more daemony and horny bits...without technically being 100% Magnus since some pieces are gone forever or still missing... but is still Magnus... but sort of.
So I just picked up dark imperium and abadon and I already have robute so I thaught I might get the primarch of nurgle so I can have one on both sides then I found out it was this absaloutly amazing model
I feel like one of the reasons I don't like the plastic Magnus is because he reminds me of those early G.I Joe action figures that were like a foot tall
Morbane It’s because I don’t sit at home and do these videos everyday. I recorded this one 2 weekends ago before I’d decided to adopt that phrase. Time is not as linear as people think. Anyway yeah I’ve heard it will be Angron but first I think we will get another loyal one.
Jim Pattie not really, as when super refers to "painter" that means someone who likes painting, in which case, as you will do a lot of painting with this model, so good!
Magnus heretic? #Magnusdidnothingwrong! Also man that is such of large model, would need magnetize or get box specified to him carry him around. Not would dare to put him into as whole into soft foam case
Project Biology Yeah I completely understand your dilemma. Although at GW (confirmed by the manager of 40K) models are made because of the designers and sculptors not the lore or rules writers. I think it’s great that GW invest so much time and effort into a model like this and give everyone that opportunity to use it in a skirmish.
Sissies? Nah, they got a raw deal cause sloberface MC-doggieboyo decided disregarding direct orders from the Emperor and ignoring the revelations his brother gave him was a great plan. To be fair though, I woulda taken good care of em, better than the Mollusk anyways.
I agree mate just got the Death Guard Codex and find it interesting that they are as psyker heavy as they are when you start reading how anti psyker he was
Steven Holt my thoughts exactly but it’s really not! 😀, The way it goes together makes it very strong and even the little flying daemons are on flexible chains so they’re hard to break
So, you still think it's worth £85 even though it's one of the smallest models for such a high price, with some being just as big for £65 and such? You must really like Death Guard. I guess, at the end of the day, it's about what you really want/like. It is pretty nice and good video, sir. :)
its a piece of plastic that you paid too much for, it costed them under 4£ to make it, if you invested that money into something else you may have been better off

My one complaint with the death guard in general is that they're sort of mono pose. Other than that I think they're amazing.
Ollie Dixon my major complaint is playing against them (from my limited experience) they just refuse to die!!!
Death Guard is by far my fav chaos legion.motarions model is absolutely gorgeous.i got him angron and waiting on dante to put in the middle
Handsome lad that.
Indeed

Magnus was not an heretic while figting Russ, just Russ being dense.

Russ: "I'm kind of retarded."
If it wasnt for corrupted horus, russ wouldn’t have went for the kill, if only, poor magnus....
size comparison with Robute Guilliman? :>
Working overtime this WE to afford this baby, thx for the review, gets me motivated.
I think Morti is my favourite GW model ever, that dude is a nightmare
I’ve been debating on doing something ever since I got the triumvirate of the primarch set which is building a scene with all the plastic primarchs
That “pistol” must be the size of a turret mounted heavy plasma gun
Thank u soooo much for all The amazing vids you have done for all of us : )
hellsingova1988 Thank you for your support it means a lot.
What about having mortarion fly in as close as possible and then teleport deathshroud around him at the end of the movement phase?
Thanks for another great review! Love your videos!
The Bhodisattva You’re welcome. Thank you for watching.
Amazing model, great review as always! Im just wondering how you’re gonna paint him after assembled... Not easy...
I Painted him in about 8 different pieces 😂
unholy shit that thing is absolutely insane
I wasn't really on the fence about Mortarion, but this definately made me want to grab him even more
would it be possible to show what kind of tools you use to help build and paint your models? ie brand of glue, clippers, brushes etc.
Paul Smith Yeah sure. Thank you for the suggestion.
awesome, thank you :)
"The emperor protects", also zooming in and staring Mortarion straight into his eyes. Shieeeet
So I just picked up dark imperium and abadon and I already have robute so I thaught I might get the primarch of nurgle so I can have one on both sides then I found out it was this absaloutly amazing model
I feel like one of the reasons I don't like the plastic Magnus is because he reminds me of those early G.I Joe action figures that were like a foot tall
What happened to 'papa bless'? Mortarion looks great, funny that his pistol is the size of a primaris. Hoping for Angron for the next daemon primarch.
Morbane It’s because I don’t sit at home and do these videos everyday. I recorded this one 2 weekends ago before I’d decided to adopt that phrase. Time is not as linear as people think. Anyway yeah I’ve heard it will be Angron but first I think we will get another loyal one.
Fair enough. Which loyal primarch do you hope to see released next?
Great detail and great model. The only thing I would change, is the scythe. I would convert him to be holding the scythe with two hands.
Screw Mortarion! I'm here for the Nurglings!
Omg great model and great review, as always
Thx for the review. I’m not sure how you transport him..... he seems so breakable!
Could i use the forgeworld model of mortarion in 40k?
I am thinking about gettig him
He’s an absolute beast aswell well op
Do you paint your miniatures?
What spare parts do you get?
Do you plan on painting him as best as your abilities allow, or just like the rest of your DG?
FancyLlamas I’ll do my best. Not sure on using all that blue and pink that GW used though.
Great review man. But he's $170 here in Canada. From his rules. He's not worth the money or the points. When I can take Necrosius and typhus for less.
terrabornstudio m41 well if playing is all you care about sure. I’m a builder and collector so worth it for me 😁
I’m afraid of getting him and fucking up the paint up tho
Great review thanks buddy
IDICBeer 40k Thank you Nick appreciate that. Meant to ask you are you enjoying the new Star Trek or not a fan?
Sup3rSaiy3n Great question. I had that question on my last Q&A and have answered it in an upcoming video, if you can wait he he
cry. In NZ this equivalent cost is 125 quid. wtf. lovely model
John Kirby $140 in the us
Its $230 in AUS
I wish i had the points left to run him
He's going to be fun to fight if my mate ever gets him
A Painters Dream! More like a painters nightmare. lol
Jim Pattie not really, as when super refers to "painter" that means someone who likes painting, in which case, as you will do a lot of painting with this model, so good!
You mistakenly said that the pistol is called silence
?? When? At 1:30 it is correct. Scythe is Silence and pistol is lantern.
You dun know
are we in the Renaissance of plastic soldiers
Magnus heretic? #Magnusdidnothingwrong! Also man that is such of large model, would need magnetize or get box specified to him carry him around. Not would dare to put him into as whole into soft foam case
I always struggle to justify buying big and important characters because I can't see a daemon primarch leading thirty marines.
Project Biology Yeah I completely understand your dilemma. Although at GW (confirmed by the manager of 40K) models are made because of the designers and sculptors not the lore or rules writers.
I think it’s great that GW invest so much time and effort into a model like this and give everyone that opportunity to use it in a skirmish.
How dare you say Magnus was a heretic, it's all the furries fault. He's only a dp because he thinks he looks cool.
Ollie Dixon lol
Magnus ia a sissy like is sissy legion
Ollie Dixon it’s all because Magnus fucked up emps golden toilet and Horus tampering with communications
Sissies? Nah, they got a raw deal cause sloberface MC-doggieboyo decided disregarding direct orders from the Emperor and ignoring the revelations his brother gave him was a great plan. To be fair though, I woulda taken good care of em, better than the Mollusk anyways.
Praise papa Nurgle the best good in the universe, tzeentch and his follower must die through the blessings of Nurgle!!!!!
Did i just read Heretic Shit i think i need too gather my friends too rally on you with our Shovels
Weird how he's a psyker how he was very anti psyker according to lore
I agree mate just got the Death Guard Codex and find it interesting that they are as psyker heavy as they are when you start reading how anti psyker he was
Nightmare to paint. So much in the way of the inner details.
It seems a very fragile model.
Steven Holt my thoughts exactly but it’s really not! 😀, The way it goes together makes it very strong and even the little flying daemons are on flexible chains so they’re hard to break

impel Thanks for watching and for your comment.
impel other warhammer models(like half of Forgeworld apocalypse units) are far more expensive and don’t look nearly as good as morty. Nurgle hater!
