*Ad Free Version available on Lorehammer Patreon, link below.*Before they became the Plague Marines feared across the galaxy, the Death Guard were the relentless XIV Legion of the Great Crusade. In this episode, we explore their origins as the Dusk Raiders of Old Albia, their transformation under the grim rule of Mortarion, and the brutal doctrine that made them masters of attritional warfare. From the toxic world of Barbarus to the battlefields of Isstvan, Prospero, and Terra, we follow the Legion's rise, their unwavering loyalty to their Primarch, and the tragic chain of events that condemned them to Nurgle's embrace. Join us as we examine the organisation, culture, wargear, campaigns, and philosophy of one of the Horus Heresy's most iconic Legions, before disease became their greatest weapon and eternal curse.Lorehammer Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/c/lorehammer/membershipOne Time Donationshttps://paypal.me/lorehammerpodcastLink to all Linkshttps://linktr.ee/Lorehammer40k

From the opening betrayals at Isstvan to the poisoned corridors of the Terminus Est and the blood-soaked walls of the Imperial Palace, this episode follows Mortarion through the Horus Heresy and his tragic fall into damnation. We explore his loyalty to Horus, the corruption of the Death Guard, his confrontation with Jaghatai Khan, the bargain that bound him to Nurgle, and his transformation into the Daemon Primarch of the XIV Legion. Once a warrior who sought to destroy tyrants and eradicate sorcery, Mortarion's greatest battle became the one he could never win, against the darkness within himself.

In this episode, we explore the origins of Mortarion, Primarch of the Death Guard, from his creation in the Emperor's Primarch Project to his harsh upbringing upon the toxic world of Barbarus. We examine his struggle against the necromantic Overlords, his reunion with the Emperor, and his transformation of the Dusk Raiders into the relentless Death Guard. From there, we follow his role throughout the Great Crusade, exploring his philosophy, leadership, wargear, relationships with his brother Primarchs, and the campaigns that forged his Legion into one of the Imperium's most feared instruments of conquest. Before betrayal consumed the galaxy, Mortarion had already become a legend of grim endurance, relentless warfare, and unwavering resolve.

Along the way, we discuss the rise and evolution of Primaris Marines, the return of legendary characters, the Tyranids' latest invasion, and how Games Workshop has shaped the modern face of Warhammer 40,000.
