Ok, I don't collect the Iron Guard, but something about them in the new Imperial Guard codex is driving me insane. It seems to me that if they're named "The Mordian Iron Guard", they should come from a planet called Mordia. However, all over the codex they refer to the planet as "Mordian". Does this bother anybody else? It would be like Americans being from American or Russians from Russian. Is this a gaff in the new codex or have they always been from "Mordian"? I suppose this also applies to Catachans, but there I know previous codii and books have listed them as being from a planet called Catachan. So which is it? Mordia or Mordian?

Has the planet always been called Mordian though, or is it only called that in this codex?


Ok, for others wondering the same thing, I will answer my own question. The second edition codex clearly refers to the planet as Mordia. This makes sense since saying "Hi, I'm Bill. I'm a Mordian. You've heard right, planet Mordian is unpleasant" just sounds wrong. Way to double check your publications before printing GW. They even painted "Mordian" on a chimera in the hobby section.
