Charlo Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Hey guys, looking to be inspired with 40k fluff for DG... Been listening to Talon of Horus by ADB and I'm loving the way the Chaos marines are portrayed. Real nuance as opposed to frothing mad-men and "I'll get you next time gadget" style villains or berzerkers. Is there anything similar to this for my boys of the 14th? With their disgusting nature it seems other legions don't really like being around them so it's hard to find that nice inter-legionary banter and talk?

Marshal Loss Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 There are Death Guard characters in The Black Legion, the sequel to Talon of Horus - the main antagonist is a member of the 14th. Highly recommended.

Charlo Posted November 13, 2017 Author Share Posted November 13, 2017 Wonderful. Once I'm done with Talon i'll move on to that i'm sure. Anything else come to mind?

Sandlemad Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Stormcaller. It's primarily a SW book and there's no inter-traitor banter but the DG are portrayed as a ferociously competent enemy and the main villain has a good bit of nuance. He's a weary, melancholy gardener-sorceror called the Mycelite. All the galaxy is in pain because of entropy; he simply wants to accelerate the process and free everyone from the suffering of life, for their own good. He can't understand why the SW can't see that it's better this way. It works well because he comes off as having these good intentions, even if they are perhaps not in the mainstream of XIV legion thought as laid out in the codex. Moustache-twirling doesn't come into it. Indefragable and Warpmiss 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/341296-death-guard-40k-fluff/#findComment-4930749 Share on other sites More sharing options...

battle captain corpus Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Both the new Space Wolves books, Blood of Asaheim and Stormcaller are excellent for DG fluff.
