Morturg's been noticeably tweaked in the new edition, for better and worse.

Pros: He has +1T over his old statline and a 2+/4++ save plus Shrouded (6), courtesy of his new armour. He's also gained Relentless, Bitter Duty, and Counter Attack (1). His combi-flamer now has chem-munitions baked in, his sword is AP2 and has Reaping Blow (2), and he gets two disintegrator pistols for extra shooty fun. He's gained a new psychic power as well, Shielded by Hate, which lets him go into reserves with one wound instead of dying as long as he passes a psychic check.

Cons: He's lost Infiltrate and Master of Ambush. His new Warlord Trait is The Shadow of Death--during deployment, if any enemy unit is deployed within 18" of Morturg or any model in a unit he's joined, then once all Infiltrators and Scouts have been deployed on both sides, Morturg and all models in any unit he has joined can move up to 7" in any direction, but must end the move in coherency. In addition, Morturg and any unit he joins get a free Reaction when an enemy unit comes in from reserves (including deep-striking). Being able to scoot around the table during deployment and gaining extra Reactions are nice, but not being able to infiltrate units anymore is a real kick in the nuts, considering that was one of Morturg's greatest strengths as a warlord. He's also lost access to Endurance, and if he fails his Shielded by Hate test while joined to a unit, that unit suffers Perils of the Warp. His sword now has Overcharged, which is a bit of a pisser; any time he attacks with it you have to roll a dice and a result of 1 causes him to suffer a wound, though at least he can use his shiny new invuln save against it.

tl;dr, Morturg is no longer Commander Asshole, though being able to take extra reactions against units coming in from reserves isn't bad and he's now more survivable thanks to his improved toughness, saves, and Shielded by Hate.
