Everything below is for the omnissiah. But like, you can read it if you want. Just a synopsis of the video you're watching.
The Death Guard, originally the Dusk Raiders, were one of the original Space Marine Legions, later renowned as staunch followers of Nurgle, the Chaos God of decay and despair. Their journey from loyalist warriors to vectors of contagion and plague is marked by a series of pivotal and tragic transformations, deeply influenced by their Primarch, Mortarion.
Originating from the poisonous fumes of Barbarus, a planet shrouded in toxic mist and ruled by oppressive warlords, Mortarion was shaped by his harsh environment. He instilled in his legion a tolerance for toxins and endurance in the face of suffering. Renamed the Death Guard during the Great Crusade, they were relentless in their pursuit of the Emperor’s enemies, displaying an exceptional tolerance for war zones that would cripple other legions.
The Horus Heresy was the turning point for the Death Guard. Aligned with Horus, they eventually found themselves stranded in the Warp during their voyage to Terra. It was here, in the hellish confines of their warp-tainted ships, that they succumbed to a plague known as the Destroyer Plague. This supernatural affliction was no ordinary disease but a concoction of Nurgle himself, designed to test and ultimately claim the legion.
Transformed by the plague, the Death Guard emerged as Plague Marines, grotesque parodies of their former selves, embodying the resilience and fortitude they once prized, now twisted into enduring the most abhorrent conditions as a boon from Nurgle. Mortarion, having ascended to daemonhood, led his transformed legion to the Plague Planet, located within the Eye of Terror, establishing it as their base of operations and a new, festering reflection of Barbarus.
Throughout the subsequent millennia, the Death Guard have been a plague upon the galaxy, participating in major conflicts like the Siege of Terra, where they were instrumental in many dark deeds. They are marked by their use of biological warfare and the deployment of daemon engines and bioweapons that spread Nurgle’s gifts of disease and decay.
Mortarion, ever the tactician, has not only managed to keep his legion intact but has also directed their actions in alignment with the whims of Nurgle. Whether through the casting of the Rubric of Ahriman that afflicted their sorcerer brethren in the Thousand Sons or through direct engagements with the Imperium, their impact is devastating.
Today, the Death Guard continues to serve as one of the most formidable forces of Chaos, with their actions guided by both Mortarion’s strategic genius and the insidious will of Nurgle. They remain bound not only by their allegiance to their god but by a shared history of resilience, now perverted into a relentless delivery of corruption and decay.
