Editing Moritat (section)

==Overview==
Moritats were originally exclusive to the [[Raven Guard]]. These warriors were veterans, who succumbed to a mental condition called the Ash Blind or the Sable Blind that caused them to fight with suicidal fervour and determination, as well as with an urge to murder the closest enemy. Most of these warriors died, yet those who survived were recovered and nursed back for later use. [[Corvus Corax|Corax]] organized these berserker madlads into Shadow Killers, who made highly effective shock troopers and assassins. In fact, the Ash Blind proved to be so good at their job of [[FATAL|anal annihilation]] that during simulated battles, the [[Ultramarines]] suffered three defeats when they sparred with the sons of Corax in simulation battles when the latter deployed those suicidal maniacs.

[[Roboute Guilliman|Robbie]], being the tactical analyst he was, looked at the Ash Blind and pulled the same stunt he did when he created Fulmentarus Terminators after seeing [[Perturabo]] and his Tyrant Siege Terminators. He declared the Ash Blind worthy of refining and thus created the Moritat. Unlike the Fulmentarus, the Moritat did find its way into every Legion.

The Ash Blind mutation makes more sense than [[Deathsworn|what]] [[Wulfen|two other Legions]] [[Red Thirst|with genetic defects]] did to Astartes (and way [[Deathsworn |cooler than turning]] into Furries or being used as cannon fodder). As it could be seen as a gene flaw that only comes out when a Raven Guard has a flash of PTSD. Instead of flipping out to [[Rip and Tear]] he loses his shit and decides to shoot or assassinate anything that isn't an ally.

Armed with dual [[Volkite Serpenta]]s or [[Plasma Pistol]]s linked to their jump pack's power source via armored feed cables, the Moritats proved to be very nasty warriors who could jump in, unleash a never-ending hailstorm of Volkite/Plasma fire and jump out to look for more prey. Volkite and Bolters are options when waiting for their handguns to cool down from the intense volleys. They wear absolute [[Awesome|sick-ass looking]] [[Mark IV: Maximus Armour|Maximus-pattern armour]] that has been modified with extra plating on the chest and an augmented eye-piece to better accommodate their insane fighting style.
