Skalpynock Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Dark Angels, Iron Hands, Death Guard (three War Crime Legions) Raven Guard (they pretty much invented them). Of these 4, I'd wager that IH have the most potential for flavorful fluff.

k0nahrik Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Technically they were present throughout all of the legions but what Skalpynock suggested is more fluff-accurate Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/330810-moritat-which-legion-is-fluffy-for-him/#findComment-4650841 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Loss Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 To add to the above, don't forget the Blood Angels. In practice though, every Legion bar the Salamanders used Moritats in greater or lesser quantities.

Noctus Cornix Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Any legion could have them, save Salamnders (because they're pansies) Of the Legions they would seem most likely, Alpha Legion, Blood Angels, Dark Angels, pretty much the ones everyone else has mentioned already. Honestly, Word Bearers would probably fit more than most too. They have their own special destroyer cult and everything. An Ashen Circle themed Moritat would be :cussing awesome!

Silk Posted February 9, 2017 Author Share Posted February 9, 2017 Thank you guys, My problem is, originally i planned starting Thousand Sons, but the more I read, the more I Think that The Moritat and maybe Destroyers for him are really really unfluffy :( when I tend to Thousand Sons -.- Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/330810-moritat-which-legion-is-fluffy-for-him/#findComment-4651086 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Golem Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 I don't think they're unfluffy for the TS. They aren't necessarily what you'd expect when you think of Thousand Sons, but that makes them more interesting as an idea personally.

Corswain Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 I would think that there might be some great opportunities to create fluff for a Night Lords moritat. Seems right up their alley.

Lord Asvaldir Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 I would think that there might be some great opportunities to create fluff for a Night Lords moritat. Seems right up their alley. It sure does, I could see Night Lords using a moriat as a sort of assassin/saboteur who would be used to spread terror before the main assault.

Lord Asvaldir Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Yeah because of that they seem fairly unusable in a competitive list.

One of their cults, called the "Order of Blindness" is where their scouts and Destroyers are located in the command Hierarchy, which was led defacto by Amon. The Order if Ruin are siege masters and Logistics, and the Order of the Jackel are temple guard/champions and Medicae.

bluntblade Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 And to think Amon seemed so mellow. I always thought they'd follow Phosis.

Kelborn Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 So Amon is in charge of the Order of Blindness and the Hidden Ones or are they summed up now?

Sandlemad Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 So Amon is in charge of the Order of Blindness and the Hidden Ones or are they summed up now? Both, perhaps, if then Order of Blindness contains the scouts? From the bits of Inferno released, it looks like the three Red Orders are another layer of mystic strangeness layered on top of the regular companies/fellowships of the XV legion, just like the five cults. So conceivably you could have a legionary who is part of Amon's 8th Fellowship, part of the Raptora cult, and part of the Order of Blindness. I was never clear though if the term Hidden One applied to all TS scouts or just their deep cover sleeper agents. I mean we don't really even see them in Prospero Burns, just the daemon-Amon.

lanceqi Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Blood Angel IMHO, that duel-hellpistol-wielding cold-hearted killer is truly a nightmare for everyone.

Calas Typhon Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 I find that naturally, the Death Guard are probably the most fitting with the vast amounts of Destroyer sections within the Legion. And what we know of the nature of the Destroyers, especially in this Legion ("Distant Echoes of Old Night"), they pretty much fit right into that cold blooded Murderer type mould. Its only a small jump from a destroyer squad to lone wolfing. Night Lords, Iron Warriors and the Alpha Legion are also good shouts. Although the Alpha Legion might be more inclined to push Saboteurs rather than Moritats.

bluntblade Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Certainly, the Death Guard are the fluffiest choice. Regularly fighting on hellish worlds, and having constitutions that could handle absurdly toxic substances even by Space Marine standards, they were far more willing than most to use any weapon at their disposal, so much so that Ferrus was concerned about them polluting worlds that were ripe for settling. Once the Heresy got underway, any squeamishness went right out the window and they began using phosphex as a void weapon among other fun things.

SkimaskMohawk Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Pretty surprised that only the first reply has Raven Guard...since they completely invented it. Corax beat Guilliman in a series of mock battles using them. They even have their Moritat-Prime as a special character Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/330810-moritat-which-legion-is-fluffy-for-him/#findComment-4655551 Share on other sites More sharing options...
