Then looking at the mobility, they would have a huge bonus over horses in that too. Plus 8 legs would offer more traction. And you could put a horse head helmet on them so you could feel like Odin riding his nephew, Slepnir!

@alganhar1

2 жыл бұрын

Except this statement makes precisely zero sense. Any idea how much fodder horses eat? During WWI almost one third of the total volume of the ENTIRE British Logistics train was taken up by horse fodder. The stuff ain't heavy, but it IS bulky. Also, modern large breeds of horses cannot live on hay or grass alone, they quickly starve if that is all they are fed, so they need supplements to that in the form of oats, bran and other cereals. The huge volume of logistics required to feed their horses is the very reason why by 1939 the British Army as a whole, and the BEF in particular were completely Mechanised or motorised. Yes, transporting fuel has its issues, but it is actually less volume intensive than horse fodder..... ANYONE who has had any experience with modern large horse breeds would be pissing themselves with laughter whenever anyone says such horses require no logistics.... Now, granted the Death Corps mounts are not your typical horses, however, nothing removes one very important fact, the amount an organism needs to eat is directly correlated to two things, its size, and the speed of its metabolism. Death Korps mounts will need to eat, a lot, now it may well be that they could eat pretty much any vegetable matter, and I will give you that one, however they still need large quantities of it.

Hello Arch! Love the video, an excellent break from the day and a great love letter to the insanity of Krieg! According to sholagladiatoria the ww1 iteration of the british cavalry "saber" was a stabbing implement, meant to be used as a short lance by the rider. Considering GW and the ww1 asthetic of krieg I think they went with that version of the "saber" for that reason.

"Some of us may die, but that is a sacrifice the Emperor is willing to make"

I really liked the Gudrun Cavalry from the eisenhorn books from what I remember they rode giant lobotomized carnivorous sloths and were large enough for 3 riders

Polish Hussars, also a shock cavalry, used similar weapons as Death Riders. Single use Lance, koncerz (cavalry piercing sword), saber and pistol.

Could be ired before charge impacted to disrupt target pikemen or musketeers. those are nice chace weapons and for close quarter needs - faster faster than saber, and sure point and click weapon.

I think a 3rd person shooter set on Krieg where you take on the life of a DC soldier, from the moment you get drafted and arive in the Corner of Hell known as "boot camp", at the end of witch you get to pick your path( in simple terms Class with diverging class quests) and then participate in some of the most well known battles of the Corp. I would love it if every class was sent to different battles, but that might be too much. The way I imagined classes to work would be, you choose the path that would lead you to become agrenadier for example, well you have to do achieve specific feats such as be really good at killing people with your shovel, get 100 headshots with it, then once you get recruted in one of those Grenadier Squads another path opens up, maybe become an officer and so forth, basically climb a ladder, but ith options for those who don't want to climb. This could make for a decent Battle Arena but with 50+ people on each side, we could get a battle between the Death Corps and the Blood Pact since they sahre the most in common in terms of discipline. And if the dev decied to ever add Saits an Demons either keep them as NPCS you summon like in the Alterak Valley BG or have them be temporary buffs you get once you a specific quest in the battle ground.

Cant help but wonder if some of those magos Biologists that worked on the creation of the Krieg "horse" had had any involvement with the Officio Assassinorum, specifically those of the Eversor temple. There certainly seem to be some points of similarity between a Krieg steed and an Eversor assassin!

I still think it's silly that they don't carry guns, a glance at Prussian cuirassier regiments, a pretty good equivalent from history shows that most of them carried not just pistols but carbines as well, and that also includes the Garde du Corps, at least into the Napoleonic wars, where my knowledge of said cuirassier regiments becomes rather scarce.

Krieg Regiments are heavily modelled on WWI German Army, and the German Cavalry of WWI were certainly armed with rifles, admittedly carbines not full length service rifles. Only ones to have full length service rifles were the British Cavalry, but that was 1) because the SMLE was short as service rifles of the time went and was specifically designed for use by both infantry and cavalry, and 2) the British Cavalry of 1914 were actually trained more as mounted infantry rather than traditional cavalry. I have a copy of the 1912 Cavalry Training manual, and three quarters of it is literally the 1912 Infantry training manual. They just tagged on a bunch of cavalry specific chapters and left it at that. The Cavalry had to pass the same marksmanship and field tests as the infantry did.

deathriders have pistols, and the ridermasters (squad leaders) can have hotshot lasguns.

When I listened about those horses Eversor Assassins come to my mind. Similar degree of modification to make near unstoppable blunt instrument.

"The space marine equivalent of a normal horse" Somewhere a White scar: "Sergeant, here is an idea, just hear me out. How about instead of the shitty ground clearance bikes that get stuck on anything except perfectly leveled road, we use the maneuverable, genetically enhanced Krieg monsters that they call a horse." Sergeant: "Nonsense, these Harley-pattern attack bikes are from before the dark age of technology, surely they are perfect when there was no innovation for so many millennia.

Space marines are much bigger and heavier than man. Probably even this monster horses are unable to carry them effectively for reasonable amount of time.

Actually they're probably even faster than mechanized units in 40k, most tanks (leman Russ etc.) go about 45 to 50kph top in lore and a galloping horse can go 50 without major issues best racehorses go up to 70 kph, and since this is 40k the Krieg versions can propably do 80 km an hour for half a day with no issue

Since there are examples of Russes going fast AF there is a theory that the official "maximum" speed was set in the factory because that's how you discourage running away and, what's much more important, that's how you make fuel consumption more efficient.

@@kronos661 sounds about right. Governors very much a thing in military vehicles. Mostly because troops do stupid when they have fast stuff to play with. With 40k building methods. They probably don't even know the governor's on the engine in the first place anymore.

I can only think of three vehicles in the US army with governors. A Stryker, an M1, & a HEMMT. Everything else just hits a (shitty) top speed because of a lack of power.

Commissar: Why do you wear armour? Krieg Rough Rider: To die harder. Commissar: I will give you the Emperor's mercy if you say that again.

Imagine a Centuar that was built like a Death Rider Mount...

Gas mask horses would be terrifying to see, especially a juiced up one mega horse.

In a star wars vs 40k fan fic clone artillery hit the horsy and blew it's back half off with the rider. The horsy still running and being hit by machine gun fire threw itself into the nest killing the gunner and taking out the gun.

Actually, the thrust emphasis of the saber matches with WWI equipment and thought. The last sword model issued to the cavalry in the British Army and used in WWI, was a thrust only weapon. And given the Great War theme of the Death Korp, it makes perfect sense.

Yes thats true. But those were not sabers but rapiers. Sabers are horrible fur thrusting, especially from horseback.

Arch you're videos are so much better then the penal colony guy

Wow is it 2018 again! Krieg lore let’s gooooo

The best lore channel on youtube strikes again. Also I'm totally not biased because Arch is from the same country as I am, my opinion has nothing to do with Norwegian supremacy at all, I promise!

Thanks for the content, Arch! You are doing great!

Actually missed an upload, also, I'd love to see a Dragoon guard regiment

Death Rider Comisar: If I see any of you turn from the charge punishment shall be swi **heavy gasmask laugh** easiest job in the Imperium.

There's no stoppin the Krieg!

I definetely love your "r", it gives the whole narration some charm

Those monsters put the horses from Aot to shame

I really like when Arch makes lore videos. This video is great. Please Arch, focus on this type of videos.

You still stand tall as one of the best when it comes to video's Arch. Have a good one.
