  • The 14th Legion were renowned both for their endurance and for their choice of weaponry, and were a consistently powerful force in the Great Crusade. Led by the Primarch Mortarion, they turned traitor during the Horus Heresy and are now the servants of the Chaos God Nurgle. This is their story.

    Some say, that while in his original pod, the infant primarch mortarion had the ancient Terran song 'don't fear the reaper' stuck on a loop. How it affected him is unknown.

    As mentioned Death Guard are from Albia as are the Iron Hands. I always imagined the Death Guard being more English as there's the use of (anglo-Saxon) Huscarls mentioned in the Horus Heresy books and there's a stereotypical WW1 trench warfare/spirit of the blitz to them. I think the Iron Hands are more Scottish due to the dour stereotype and the old angry/good with machines and engineering trope.

    I want to say the Overlords were not Xenos, given 'Mort' having Terran roots. It's too much of a coincidence for me.
    But whatever they were by the time they ruled over Barbarus, some kind of runaway ruling class given over to Chaos in a way that allowed them animate the dead.
    Now, I'm not saying it was Nurgle, but...

    • @TacticaImperialis

      I think the Mortarion-Khan relationship, as it were, would be similar to that of Horus and Khan. Both acknowledged that they were warriors, not much more, even if they were incredibly good at waging war it was pretty much all they knew. As a result, they had a healthy level of respect and were almost kindred spirits - I wager that in a way, Khan saw Mortarion in a similar manner, though Khan's pro-psyker attitude will have probably been a contentious issue for them.

      I think Mort kind of liked all of his brothers (With probably one exception, try to guess who.) But this was compounded by the fact that Mortarion was an asshole. If Perterabo had the personality of an angry teenager who punches wholes in drywall because dad took a way his computer. Mortarion was the stereotypical teenager whose is apathetic to a fault and responds to everything with a "Ugh, whatever..." While silently hating everybody around him.
