      Thank you so much for doing a piece on the Mordians. They remind me of my cousin's old regiment, the US 3rd Inf "Old Guard": yes, they're picked in part for height and do formal drill and ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier & such... but there's also a particular intelligence requirement and they guard the Pentagon. It was wise of Al-Queda to not try a ground assault.

    The Iron Guard have been an example of discipline and control as they will never break out of formation or their morale as proven on numberless battles and wars throughout their service within the Imperium. They may look like toy soldiers who are dressed for a parade rather than the brutal war zones of the Galaxy, but in truth they use this image to confused their enemies and reveal that they are just as effective as any Guard Regiment, and they are known for beating traitors space marines in battles without them breaking at all.

      @@stillcantbesilencedevennow I think the original comparison to the USMC is the most accurate, especially when you take the mental aspects into account. The USMC isn't necessary, it only exists because of its reputation. There was even a period of time when the Corps was disbanded. Just like the Mordians, the USMC is reliant on reputation to stay alive, the difference being one fights for their world not being dropped and the other their Corps not being dropped. On top of that, a lot of the imagery is almost a carbon copy of USMC recruitment posters, especially from around WWI-WWII. The Corps is also famous for its urban operations particularly from Vietnam into modern campaigns (think Fallujah). The only real differences I saw between the Mordians and the Corps was that Marines are also famous for their initiative, thinking for themselves, so the point on them not moving even while being flanked sounded much more like cold war Russian doctrine, or perhaps doctrine from the Napoleonic era, everything else though perfectly matched the history and mindset of the USMC.

One could also say "love" and "devotion" to the Emperor vs "pride" and "reputation" of the Regiment. As a Krieger, I could just see/feel the tension in the shared trench! 😁 Love this, as always!

    Remember reading about a group of Mordians that got backed up in a seemingly impossible assault on an enemy fortress by a trio of Blood Angel astartes. When one Mordian questioned would three be enough, one of the Blood Angels was enraged that the guardsman would question him and warned him he'd be back 'after' they took the fort. Sure enough, back he came and basically stood in front of the Mordian who just stared him down until the Blood Angel gives a surly 'For the Emperor' then buggers off. Standing your ground against a touchy pissed off 8 foot tall superhuman vampire in power armor with only your guts and some fancy epaulettes....now that's soldiering!

      Good that they did not claim to have heads of Iron, e.g.:
      *”I am Iron-Head, and I rule my den.”*
      Note that speaking thusly means one is a Witch to be reckoned with - much as if the man or woman in question were a sold-out devotee of Chaos Undivided.

    I'd heard they don't carry hand grenades because their use would require more agency than they're willing to exercise on the battlefield, but could you imagine if they were equipped with grenade launchers? Just imagine the earth shattering impact of a hundred grenades all detonating at once in the enemy's ranks, all spaced out to do the maximum possible damage, followed by more explosions a second later, again and again until the enemy formation in front of the Mordians has been reduced to a smoking ruin.
