What's his problem?

What's his problem?

People didn't appreciate the shit he did or how vital he was to the Crusade. Couple that with the Emperor being a tard and not telling anyone about Chaos Gods, so Perty had to deal with thinking he was crazy for the Warp literally staring him down at all times instead of knowing that this was a malevolent force bent on destruction that just does that. If the Emperor told him he wasn't crazy and the Warp really IS an evil thing staring him down, that might have taken a lot of the paranoia away.

Perturabo buried his dreams and his heart on Olympia's ridges, and then willingly cut all emotional ties and dived into Hell, all because he truly believed in his father's utopian dream of Imperium. He would do anything his father asked of him in order to achieve it. He murdered millions, because his father asked him to. He broke empires, shattered armies, and his Legion bore the most grievous wounds and losses, because his father asked him to. And he ignored the implications of it all, because his Father asked him to. Do you honestly believe none of this ground into his long lost humanity, the empty core of his being that he cut out, because his Father asked him to?

He is War-Broken. We're talking about God-Level post-traumatic mental disorder here. Perturabo can't control his emotions at times. He stares out at nothingness, and speaks to his past. One moment, he's unreachable, and the next he's ripping your head off because you brought him bad news. He can become utterly lost in fine details, both in crafting weaponry, and tearing down citadels. It calms him, returns his mind back to the emotionless numbers that represent hundreds of thousands of his sons dying. The further detached he became from reality, the further he tried to hide from the horror he was crafting, the worse his emotions got.

And Perturabo buried that shit. To admit the hurt and the fatigue would be to admit he was human, something imperfect; To acknowledge the dropping morale of his men would be to admit that they were weak. So he did the only thing he knew how to: He moved forward. He got the job done, and the next, and the next and the one after that. He kept doing what his father asked from him, because that's what "Perturabo" would do, the Primarch who shouldered burdens without complaint, who did the jobs no-one else wanted.

Olympia was the line crossed. His mind broke, his heart broke, and he became the Monster he ran from his whole life.

Because his Father asked him to.

Heres a better question, why did Mortarian quit?

Everyone else had some reasonable excuse. Mortrarian hated sorcerers, mutants, xenos and tyrants.

And he joined the side that had that in spades.

Daddy issues, like every other Primarch. Actually, did the Emp have a single good relationship with any of his sons?

Horus ironically

Sanguinius, magnus until nikea, Vulkan, and Horus. Otherwise that's it.

It started with Barbarus. Mortartion's adoptive father was a horrifying Xenos-necromancer that ruled his world from atop a toxic peak. Mortarion rejected him, rebelled, and led an army of men in primitive biohazard suits to kill their Xenos overlords. He was very much successful, and his father lurked atop the most treacherous, toxic peak, the sole remaining thing that kept him from solidifying his rule over the world he and his men had fought and died for.

As he laid siege to the creature's citadel, the Emperor came down, and informed him that unless the citadel was his tomorrow, he would be vassalized. Mortartion then launched a one-man assault on what amounted to a fortress filled with toxic gasses that could kill a space marine, filled with zombies.

He almost did it, too. But due to the lack of preparation, he was defeated by his Xenos-father, only for the Emperor to come down, kill his nemesis, take his planet, take his people, and send him out to conquer more in the name of the Imperium of Man.

As you can imagine, he held a grudge.

As for Psykers, he felt that the council of Nikea did not go far enough, and afterwards, he started dabbling in Warpshit in an attempt to figure out how best to defeat it.

The Khan makes some really good points calling Mortarion out on his shit.

So does Typhus in Dark Imperium.

Spitefull asshole that took the worst job expecting a medal and needed to see all of his men dead, even if he had to make them kill each other. No wonder he turned to chaos, megabitch that resented everyone, go cry in a ditch filled with groxshit

Thats such bullshit Perturbo was always a cunt. Literally every other Primarch made time for their own desires, he was just a useless whiny bitch.

>As for Psykers, he felt that the council of Nikea did not go far enough, and afterwards, he started dabbling in Warpshit in an attempt to figure out how best to defeat it.
Confirmed for having brain damage. What an absolute idiot.

Too intelligent for his time.

the idea itself is fine, you need to know about demons to fight demons, the thing is warhams has the chaos "lmao you corrupted because chaos too good" effect. Certainly he didn't know that.

He got sick of Dorn's shit and being confused with the Iron Hands.

Go back to 1d4chan.

>the idea itself is fine
No it is 100% pure dogshit. Hating the warp so much you go learn about how to do sorcery is just brainfuck retarded.

Unironic shitposting IRL in his grimdark universe.

>he started dabbling in Warpshit in an attempt to figure out how best to defeat it.
is that what this means? I interpreted as simply studying on it, rather then practicing it.

No, he goes to the ashes of Prospero and steals information on how to cast sorcerous spells. Because he's literal retarded.

Blame the Emperor. That was him that created Perturabo in that way

If he was a literal retard, I doubt he would be able to learn anything about the warp.

Extreme mental instability

Yes because taking personal responsibility for you actions and emotions would be too hard for a 200 year old super human.

Lol. Yeah thats why he got rid of his navigators then got stranded in the warp and got forced to turn to Nugle by Typhus.

his problem is he's the best primarch. if you dont have a 30k IW force youre basically a massive fuckign faggot.

He shouldn't have gone chaos desu, just rebelled period while telling chaos to fuck off and die - same with mortarion

He did recognized his mistakes after Olympia. That's why he broke

This.

It would be nice if some of the traitors beside Alpharius and Curze remained pure

>Oh know I've made mistakes
>Should I attempt to better myself or simply turn on my Father and burn all the good that he has achieved
Hmmm...

That's pretty much what he did. He's a Chaos Demon prince yes, but his legion is all about using Chaos as a weapon/tool above all else. They aren't zealous at all and rather look for their own interests. It's what makes the IW awesome, because they are in it for them instead of glorifying any Chaos Gods.
