No space marine legion is quite as repugnant and horrifying as that of the Death guard. They turned against the emperor of mankind and chose to instead follow nurgle, the chaos god of plagues and despair. They are the warhammer 40k universe’s equivalent of power armor equipped plague zombies. they are immune to pain and can shrug off practically any injury. this once proud and noble legion, has forsaken its oath to protect the men and wemon of the imperium of mankind, to instead travel the cosmos, spreading Nurgle’s corruption as far as possible. lets take a deep dive into their tactics and history and see what Nurgle’s nasty boys are all about.

With the Deathguard appearing as the main antagonists in the new Warhammer 40000 chaos gate game, I figured it was a good time to give the gross boys their own deep dive.

  1. Does anyone know of any official Warhammer 40 K novels that show case the death guard facing up against the necrons or having any kind of interaction with the necrons? They are complete opposites not just because the necrons are pure science as opposed to the warp but the necrons have also been known to absolutely despise the notion of the less clean aspect of organically such as bodily waste and fluids

  2. I like your videos as long as I don't have to suffer your hairdo. I have no other qualms than that really petty one. I hate your hairdo with a passion. Not you as a person. Just your hairdo. That very specific part that looks like a dead embalmed shi-tsu fused with your scalp. Other than that your content is pristine, your videos are long, which is something I crave, your explaining is accurate and detailed, the illustrations are interesting ad pertinent , and I had not seen some of them, and you like Nurgle apparently as much as I do, which is also a plus in my book. And while you don't have the best voice, as I prefer deepeer and slower voices, even gloomy ones (we're in grimdark territory after all), you are articulate enough and it's not an offence to the ear. I wish you well. Except for your hairdo. I've lived through 5 decades as of now and yet I've never seen something that atrocious, eventho I knew the 80's. But you look young. There's still chance for your hairdo.

  3. Not going to lie, I always loved mortarion and thee death guard, but I know they're not the most popular. It just enjoyed that they were the toughest of the Marines, imagine an enemy that nothing will stop slowly trudging ever closer no matter how hard you hammer at them, they just keep on moving forward. Plus his power sythe was badass lol

  4. I was so thinking that x-sheets was a terrible idea, laughed like hell when you popped in and said exactly what I was thinking, and then you hit me with a raid ad?! What are you? A dark eldar archon??

  5. Ive been addicted to these deep dives. Id love to see a huge deep dive on the nids or Grey Knights someday. I've learned more about Warhammer 40k in 3 days than I have reading 50 books
