	The '''Mordian Iron Guard''' are an army of the [[Imperial Guard]], hailing from the planet of Mordian. They are renowned throughout the [[Imperium]] for being right [[Warboss\|hard]] bastards, never backing down and prepared to die to the last man as necessary, as well as being from a planet with an adjective for a name (the Earth equivalent would be if Italy were named Italian, or a city named San Sebastian -oh wait).

	First of which is their rigidity. While the Mordians boast a rather formidable wall of discipline on both the attack and defense, this often hinges on a rather strict and precise chain of command that can almost never deviate from the ingrained doctrine mindset within the Iron Guard. If that chain of command is disrupted in any way, this can lead to a Mordian unit being left in an exposed position or carrying out an order that has long since expired, and the Iron Guard will not deviate from it even if its uselessness and wastefulness is slapping them in the face. Also, the few units of veterans and tank squadrons that do exercise limited independent command make up only a small minority out of the larger force of dapper automatons. In short, their overall flexibility and initiative in battle is so lackluster, that it would make the Death Korps of Krieg die laughing. If the enemy is sufficiently protected in a void shielded hive city, it will be long and brutal, where Krieg would have the patience to starve them out and most everyone else could do shock assaults or at least sabotage the void shield generators if the planet is deemed fully lost so that the hives anti orbital fire doesn't shootdown the exterminatus vessel and the retreating transports due to being sufficiently suppressed. The Mordians would suffer horrifically and unlike Krieg that isn't the point.		First of which is their rigidity.

	Second is the types of opponents that the Mordians excel or falter at fighting. Whether it's the starving rioters or demonic onslaught upon Mordian itself, an onrushing horde of screaming Orks, a never ending swarm of Tyranids or even a more conventional mechanized force drawn up in formation, the Iron Guard is at its best when its grinding lockstep advance and perfectly orchestrated firing lines are allowed to be brought to bear upon their foes. Against other more 'tactical' foes such as the Tau, they end up the British during the Revolutionary War, there bright coats making them stands out against the background for every sharp shooter and skirmisher. Even worse, if they face an enemy that actively avoids a head on conventional confrontation in favor of hit and run strikes and stringing them out through guerrilla tactics, like the Genestealer Cults, some Chaos factions, or almost all Eldar factions, they end up like Napoleon's French Army in Spain and Russia.

	The planet Mordian along with the entire [[Stygius Sector]] was invaded by Chaos Forces led by warbands loyal to Tzeentch. The Iron Guard held their ground as reinforcements arrive, but there were too many heretics and slowly the Imperial defenders are being bled dry. (Didn't help that the dead are being raised as zombies or that the Warp claimed several Imperial ships and an entire planet during the conflict.)

	Further reinforcements came in as an Eldar Strikeforce from [[Craftworld Ulthwé]] aided the Imperium. Being the cryptic pricks they are, they tell the defenders that they can't win and advised them to leave the sector. (Seeing as the Chaos Invasion is led by the [[Thousand Sons]] under [[Magnus]] as well as [[M'kachen]], they had a point). Even though the discipline of the Iron Guard kept them from being overrun, they agreed to retreat, and evacuated what they could. It probably stung, but you'll never see a Mordian getting mopey about it.

	However, thanks to the perseverance of the [[Iron Hands]] and its successor chapters, Chaos forces were finally driven off Mordian and reclamation of surrounding worlds continued in order to secure the adjacent passage through the [[Great Rift]]. It's not quite clear if they reinforced the Mordians or joined a Mordian attempt to re-take Mordian or if they did it on their own. Seems likely that the planet was secured due to their arrival instead of evacuating the planet. Speaking of, that the Iron Hands did this proves the Eldar were wrong. Again.
