Not that they're built for attrition warfare, but they do have the highest casualty rate amongst Fire Warriors. They were designed in answer to the Imperium's fortified and defensive fighting styles, and so its the ballsiest and most Krieg-like T'au that are given Laser Shotguns and charged into trenches to dig out stubborn enemy positions.

As for the match up, I would still go for the Iron Warriors cause of their daemon fuckery. I know the IW don't use daemons as much, but even daemon engines can have a harmful warp aura that can petrify guardsmen with fear and despair, I'm using "Storm of Iron" as a source for that.

Random fact about the Maginot line. France knew Germany was going to go past it.

And France wanted to expand the Maginot line further up, but Belgium protested it.

Take a military archetype like the Sailor or the Footslogger, Demolitions Guy, The Leader, buff sailor dude, Tech Guy, Girl Soldier or whatever and turn it into an Action Figure/Miniature and then slap a character/worldbuilding about their homeworld onto them. The biggest difference was that Hasbro went for what was then US military dudes and GW went more broadly with Vietnam Warrior Guys, Modern-ish guys, Soviet Guys, Imperial Russian Guys, etc.

Apparently underneath all that dirt gear and the gas mask the Krieg actually very attractive physically to the eye. They look a little on the young side but their noted traits is having firm gray eyes which definitely show the horror of war that they seen despite their youthful looks, and for the most part have blond flowing hair. I'm not sure if it was in the novel Krieg or in the novel Dead Men Walking in one of them a normal Imperial citizen catches a glimpse of a kriegsman without his helmet or gas mask and it's apparently written that he's handsome. But almost a little too young infact to even be considered a white Shield among the Cadian... it's implied that they look so young because the planet might be using unethical practices when it comes to their Vitea womb systems. It also goes into the unnatural feeling of uneasiness that just looking at your average Kriegsman can give. It's not implied that their blanks like jurgen from The cain novels. But it's definitely implied that there's something about them that isn't quite right compared to what a normal human feels. My personal belief and this is just my theory is that the repeated use of those wombs is slowly but surely Dulling and dumbing-down the Soul potential. Like right now there may be about 15% of the way to being a blank. Clearly a good chunk of what makes a human a human is missing from them. But it's not enough to the point where they are completely seen as a void Within the emotional Spectrum. However I believe that if you gave it like maybe another hundred Millennia or so the planet would just be pumping out blanks for their standard infantry soldiers. just think about that for a moment just think about how powerful of a weapon against chaos that would be to have an entire Army of Imperial Guardsmen for not only blanks but also have the almost psychotic mindset of the kriegsman. That might actually even be the plan. Maybe not implying that was originally designed. But it definitely could be something that might occur in the Far Far Future, that maybe someone found out about the flaw and did something to ensure that the flaw would, after they are turned into corpse starch and don't have to worry about the consequences, end up manifesting, something beneficial. As long as a blank is given an order they will follow it out Jurgen is proof of this. Now imagine Army of Jergens all led by commissars with the the same amount of Madness and balls-to-the-wall self-preservation as cain himself. The Imperium would be reclaimed from the rip caused by the eye of Terror and its resulting destruction within at least 325 years and that's not even including needing to use the primaris Marines.

The French, I'd argue, are also historically an even better fit as the inspiration for the Death Corps of Krieg than the Germans. At the Battle of Verdun, the longest battle of the entire war, the French adopted a battle cry of "on ne passe pas!", meaning "they shall not pass!" as they spent 303 days holding the line against endless German attacks. It's fucking badass, if you ask me.

About the shovel, it is history time ! During WW1, heads of the french army thought bayonet was a good melee weapon based on previous conflicts. It was in an open filed battle, XIXth century style.Unfortinatly, in trenches, with very little space when your are drag into melee combat, a gigantic stick with a little knife at the end is not the best weapon. So the french treachmen started using the shovels for combat, despite their primarly purpose as a tool for the trenches. When it was time, a guy going to the front with just a sharp shovel and a couple of grenades wasn't so uncommon. So yes, I think kriegsmen primarly use shovel during battles in their confort zone : trench battles. (I am only talking about frenchen because I only know about them, but since both sides were doiing more or less the same I assume germans also used shovels a lot)

so, in WW1, bayonets weren't little knives like they would be in WW2, they were still 1.5 foot long (at minimum) blades with a focus on stabbing, less so on cutting. Remember that calvary was still believed to be viable at the beginning of the war and infantry were supposed to use a rifle with a bayonet as a spear to defend themselves. So a lot of people did do ad-hoc weapons for trench warfare, not just shovels (which were wonderful, you sharpen the edge for what is effectively an axe, and at the same time you don't have to carry something extra with you), but makeshift maces, knives, punch daggers, brass knuckles, anything that could be thrown around in tight quarters. It's only as the war goes on that you start getting specialized equipment/units, like the german storm troopers who were specialized for raiding trenches and would usually be armed with pistols and bags of grenades

@staringgasmask

At the beggining? Perhaps, but then trench knives and maces were introduced to fill that particular gap, including a switch in bayonet tactics, with soldiers often removing the bayonets and using them as standalone knives in the trench.

About the Shovel bit, many world war I soldiers prefered using shovels and entrenching tools to bayonets in the close confines of the trenches. Here is a good quote from "all quiet on the western front" which is based on Remarque's own experiences in the trenches of the war "In any case, the bayonet isn't as important as it used to be. It's more usual now to go into the attack with hand-grenades and your entrenching tool. The sharpened spade is a lighter and more versatile weapon - not only can you get a man under the chin, but more to the point, you can strike a blow with a lot more force behind it. That's especially true if you can bring it down diagonally between the neck and the shoulder, because then you can split down as far as the chest. When you put a bayonet in, it can stick, and you have to give the other man a hefty kick in the guts to get it out. "

Hell, their native designs are even a reference to Germanic names, culture or artists. Brunnhilde, Gotterdamerung Howitzer, the Ragnarok tank, the Blitzen artillery platform... And there's something neat about that. A society near swallowed up by war naming their machines after references to old plays, artists and theatrics. A retention of the Human in the soul-devouring Martial. Instead, people puppet a joke they heard from a friend that heard from a friend that was introduced to the setting by said joke by a friend, etc, etc. Hell, Kriegers in the ye olde 3e Codex were originally shown with an axe looped in their belt. Not a shovel, an axe. The shovel jokes didn't come about until 4chan's /tg/ board began making jokes about supplies going off to Imperial institutions were replaced by shipments of Kriegers who'd build fortifications in odd places. They didn't use them as weapons. They used them as tools. The joke changed, as they do, but the lack of understanding of the origin and the reason has led to a flanderization of a frankly amazing regiment. They're one of the most highly trained 'regular' Imperial forces. Just behind Cadians, honestly. They're not Scions, of course, but they're damned good. And to get that, to create a mass produced force that is that quality, they're made of broken child soldiers. There's a duality to the Krieg when you look down deep enough that you, for a moment, touched on. The pitiable bit and the stoic half. I think people waver into one or the other too much. The best exploration of the Krieg, I believe, has come in Steve Lyon's shortstory 'Left for Dead'. We don't have a Krieger committing warcrimes, slaying aliens or dying hard. He's breaking the rules. He's going AWOL. He's exploring if all of it, all of the Sacrifice, is truly worth it. He takes on a dead man's name. He befriends a little local girl. He stands a head above the Imperial citizenry, not only in build but in action. When others fear, he acts. When others waver, he trudges forward. Where others flinch, he endures. But he also builds connections. He has yearnings. He doesn't just tolerate the little girl, he befriends her. They almost take on a thin sibling like connection. And then the setting reasserts itself and the story comes to a close. It's bittersweet, it's interesting and it explores what the Korps is about. It's not about being suicidal. The Krieg aren't suicidal. They're driven and religiously motivated, yes, but the goal of death in the Emperor's name is just an aspect of their belief. The Valhallans are willing to die, after all. Hell, the Vostroyans know much about owing debts. The Krieg are the only ones that truly uphold sacrifice to such an ideal, though. They have given up everything and continue to do so. They have offered their home, their history, their wonders and their arts, their culture and their name and their future all onto the alter of war and burnt it in the attempt to find mercy from a stoic corpse-god. They fight, tooth and nail, but their own abilities means they cannot be forgiven. To be forgiven is to lose a purpose, to reduce efficiency, to take away what it means to be Korps. They are damned by their own duality and there's something sad yet heartening about that. The attempt in spite of it all. When Stringstorm released his Krieg song, I disliked it. It felt too self-weepy for a Krieg song. Theirs is a martial tradition, unbowed but accepting of the weight of what must come. It is discipline, iron and steel, but it is pitted and worn. Tired, but inexorable and unwilling to stop. But people look at them, see them as 'funny suicide shovel man' and all of the interesting bits get run out by a constant barrage of the same worn out jokes. And then we ended up with the latest Krieg novel and good god was it fuckin' terrible.

Sidenote, the German Empire in WW1 did not use the Kar98. They used the Gewehr 98, which is literally a Kar98 but a little bit longer. Or, I guess the Kar 98 is the Gewehr 98 but shorter since the latter came first. The Kar 98 was used by Nazi Germany during WW2, which isn't what the Krieg are.

One aspect that I would see in Krieg is that, while they have this "grim tenacity" upon them, they are still HUMAN, but adding strange quirks in their life, like: - intricate altars to the Emperor and its Saints, or some venerated figure (Jurten) made from discarded materials in the best "trench art" style; - choir singing, where they would sing their own version of "The Watch on the Rhine" in a solemn way, to show their determination, their faith, and their HOPE for a future; - gallow's humor, with trenches being given addresses like "Blown Head", "Bayonet Crossing", "Grenade Alley", etc, with also funny plaques saying "Nr. Of days without accidental grenade explosions", or stuff like that; - "trench painting", an interesting method of meditation in which a Krieger (generally one more inclined to the arts) would take a portrait tripod, a clean canvas, brushes, paint, palette, go "up the trench", lay the material, and make a painting of the no-man's-land with a style resembling the ones during the 1910s and 20s; - their humor would be DAAAAARK, as in: when they are searching for their target, they would take the head of an enemy corpse, and use it like a puppet like: DK: "Hey, you! What is your name?" Head(DK using a very whinny voice): "I am Bitchy von Tot, a sissy enemy who died like the little fag that I am." DK: "Where is your base?" Head: "Oh, the base where the other sissy-parents of Bitchy are over there." (Moves head to point towards the enemy base). DK: "Good. Now-" (Krieger gives a pimp slap to the head, to "sent it away" and remove it from his hand) "- don't bother us. We are working."

And a Krieger Grenadier (the DKofK version of the Scions) is, HANDS DOWN, one of the most TERRIFYING things in the GALAXY...

Love the "matchup" style segments in the video. Havn't really seen anything like it before that i can remember and it's quite fun.

Iron warriors would send out waves of cultists to make the dkok run out of ammo, however they would still be a little less effective, as tactics such as forcing captured soldiers to drive towards the enemy and being shelled by their own men doesn’t do as much psychological damage as it would to other regiments. Iron warriors and Krieg would definitely be bros if they worked together, and weren’t used as the regular chaff to clog guns

Once I read a bit more about how France was defeated in early WW2, I stopped summing it up as “the Germans went around the Maginot Line” and started saying “the Belgians dismantled half of France’s defenses in a burst of stupidity after the Allied betrayal of Czechoslovakia, which let the Germans march through all but unopposed.”

I am glad to hear someone use this platform to make this point. A lot of fun is to be made from the memes associated with WH40K and the fluff, but seeing the increasing trend of having people's only exposure to the lore of 40K be TTS and meme reposts and then perpetuating the memes they've picked up as the de-facto canon gets grating after a while. I'm a fan of both the shovel memes as well as the tragedy of The Death Korps of Krieg, it's just a shame that the shovels is most of what people know them for.

In reference to the Necrons beating Krieg, that actually happens in the novel "Dead Men Walking." Spoilers ahead for the novel: An Imperial mining world is revealed to be a slowly awakening tomb world, and its PDF are all but massacred. The nearest Imperial force is a regiment of Krieg on leave, who swiftly arrive and begin their usual tricks of turning whole city blocks into rubble, and digging huge-ass defense lines. As it turns out, the Necrons are better at attrition warfare than the Kriegers, who, while inflicting some casualties with melta and plasma, are slowly whittled away before retreating and abandoning the planet to its fate.

Then the boys from krieg come in and march unfazed into machine gun lines. The idea of that level of fanaticism/ disregard for ones life is hilarious. Like immediately your brain goes, ok what's the worst big ugly monstrous thing that would make even a space marine piss himself, now throw some death korps at it and watch the big ugly start cowering in fear.

On the Shovel meme: It was actually a ‘trend’ at least in the German army to use shovels and Granades when storming trenches, cause shovels where easier to remove after killing someone (leaving less time for your enemy to shoot you, whilst you try to figure out how to get your bayonet out off the other guys rib cage) So at least there is some real life pendent for the meme (although it is grossly overdone)

One small note, in the krieg book it told that the nukes that he use were warp infuse nukes. They were considered so powerful that the main krieg guy and the tech preist theorized that the Big E purposely hid them away cause they were considered to dangorous. The main krieg did warn the rebels to surrender or he will destroy them all and proceed to do so when they refuse.

Thanks for bringing up that Krieg isn't based off only ww1 Germany (emphasis on ONLY), It seems a lot of people who took a middle school history class and fell in love with anything German from the world wars because they are rebellious and begin idolizing their personal head cannon version of Germany come to warhammer and latch onto kreig and then only focus on the German inspiration.

Fun little fact about the name of the planet, in the new krieg book they actually make mention of how they all knew that the world's name Krieg literally meant war, and at least prior to the civil war they all thought it was a bit weird how their world's name was essentially war in another language inspite of them having been in a long ass age of peace. If you ever do more of these videos please do one on the Tallarn desert raiders. I fuckin love those guys and how they got virus bombed by the iron warriors and simply did not care and baited the iron warriors to mass deploying everything from titans to legions to try and wipe them out, before they gave up and gave Tallarn the dub.

thanks so much for making the sponsership a chapter, i thank you and hope you continue to do that.

I simultaneously nourish and cherish those 3 interpretations of Krieg with great joy.

Necrons can also just pop up behind their fortifications like the Eldar as they are the most adept at telaportation. They can even telaport away as soon as they adjust their forces to attack from another unexpected angle

Aaaah my fav german space empire. The only place where a Stahlhelm is stil acceptable.

I've always saw the shovel meme as more about how the Kriegers are always working. that while not standing guard or actively shooting at enemies, they are expanding the trench network with their shovels, and if enemies broke their line and got into the trench at that time, you'd wack em with the shovel.

Stormtroopers is great

I quite enjoy krieg as I have a deep interest in the ww1 style of trench warfare, and how complex and advanced it got by the time 1917 rolled around and the entente started to make moves on The Germans, and krieg embodies this perfectly and I love them for it. Btw, krieg guardsmen using shovels as a primary weapon isn’t as far fetched as it sounds. If a krieg regiment is engaging in trench warfare with say traitor guard , once krieg troops reach the enemy trenches, the conditions become less than ideal for a lasgun + bayonet combo, due to the cramped conditions one finds in a trench. A shovel (entrenching tool) is a very handy improvised melee weapon that’s more suited for the brutal, close up fighting in trenches due to its size and ability to still mess someone up, in WW1 for example, when both sides sent parties to raid the opponents trenches, they often left behind their rifles and went with revolvers and improvised melee weapons such as maces or shovels, much easier to swing a shovel than a rifle/bayonet combo. Oh and later on the Germans used SMG’s in their stormtrooper units due to their compact size

I took me quite a while to realize that their helmets might be a combination of the 2 most drippy helmets in WW1, the Stanhelm and the Adrian helmet Although i like the Pikehelbe more than both of them

The best way to describe The Death Korp of Krieg is they have a culture of sacrifice not suicide

I will say some of these armies are more neutral to me, even matches where it comes down to the forces at play more so then anything else. The 4 I can think of are Tyranid, Iron Warrior, Nurgle, and Necrons. Tyranid: While the hive mind can adapt it does rely a large amount on large wave charges, something the Kriegsmen will be able to deal with more easily. If they try to burrow under the trenches, the Kriegsmen got Engineers who specialize in that warfare as well with specialist gas bombs, something the nids tend to not like. I'd say it comes down to if the Tyranids figure out a plan fast enough before Krieg does enough damage. Iron Warriors: Both masters of this type of warfare, I firmly say it's down to whose ready first. Krieg may have numbers, but as a handful of Iron Warriors showed on Vraks, that doesn't mean shit to them. Then again the Iron Warriors didn't go on the attack and were being whittled down faster then they could Krieg so it's even to me. Nurgle: Again, 2 masters of Attrition. Nurgle has some tougher guys but their slower speed means the Korps artillery is gonna be useful. Of course Nurgle could beat them but they'd need stronger plagues and gas then usual to beat guys specialty trained and suited to contaminated areas. Again, 2 masters of that type of warfare, it's down to the forces at play. Nurgle did well enough on Vraks but again, didn't stop them nor were they really destroyed. Necrons: I think you see a theme here. Attrition warfare. There is a major battle of Krieg vs. Necrons that Krieg almost won till the populace turned on Krieg for being too harsh. But, that regiment was redeploing elsewhere and I don't think at full strength so maybe a little more krieg power would have won and sealed them, I don't know. What I do know is it's 2 armies of vast, fearless warriors, one with better tech, the other who can outnumber and a bit more outmanuver.

I think SODAZ made a good video displaying Death Korps of Krieg before it was removed. I have never played TT Warhammer but I geek out at the stories, Lore, Novels and Audiobooks. I think these guys are neat. They consider wearing '2 skins', they Advance in step of a Space Marine (As the meme goes) to keep THEM safe, They relish and celebrate being surrounded purely because they 'REEEEEE' out of excitement that they may shoot in every direction. The trench tool wielding just adds to their 'Trench Warfare' style. I love this kind of Lore.

Talking about krieg, I particuraly enjoyed a scene in „Dead men walking” when a DK officer (i think, been some time since ive read it) was a bit dissapointed/saddened that the comissar he once worked with didn’t recognize him

4:20 i just started vibing to that age of mythology ost, brought so many memories

I remember the day when the Guard used to be fun: The Tallaran (hit and run with indirect fire support) , Mordian Gaurd (extreme discipline and extremely hard to break) , Krieg (Siege warfare).... problem is how do you translate it to tabletop rules in a way that would make the investment worthy? Tallaran biker/mortar squads? Mordian Uber-Commisars? ... It just doesn't work game and business-wise.

I love seeing people come up with different ways to put there "High Heels" on for RAID!

I like you so much that I even watched the commercial. Now that is love.

Small point outs, the lasgun utilized by krieg is a pattern that only 15 shots in its capacity but with a few shots can put down a apace marine, burning through the cerimite armor. Unsupported death korps of krieg detachments, not full regiments but small units were able to counter traitor marine forces when encountered, most likely at great cost; it is humans against space marines still after all, but they ended up winning engagements. In relation to the necrons, yeah a fully awakened or even partially awakened tomb world would be a tough battle, however oddly enough the Krieg have actually beaten the Necrons in attrition warfare, and almost blew up a dormant tomb with a nuke. What stopped the kriegsmen was the local populous ambushing the transport team because they were tired of the kriegs way of fighting (that being casualties are acceptance during battle, be it soldier or civilian) and had also begun worshipping the necrons. With vraks around the corner the fight against the necrons was abandoned as no more losses were acceptable on this world. Krieg battle doctrine is to spend lives as needed, they excel in attrition style warfare, be it as attackers or defenders, but they're not good at the other forms of fighting. That's why there is so many types of regimens with many being specialized for types of war, types of environments, or both. I love the kriegsmen, they have there ups and their downs, but all in all when people actually look at them and their philosophy, the Death Korps of Krieg are an effective and efficient fighting force, undeterred by even the worst the galaxy can throw at them, they understand the pice a victory can be, but pay it with tactics, strategies, and equipment that see to it that victory is won no matter how many troops die. The most interesting thing though is how much trust the Imperium bureaucracy actually has in the Death Korps, as they are one of the few units in the Imperium that are allowed to employ combined arms tactics.

To be fair by the time WW1 happened the french high command thought that the 1800's forts and fortifications were absolete so they moved out most of the heavy guns and soldiers from them to the trenches....the irony of this is that when the Verdun offensive began the germans practically melted the trenches which were 2-3 metres deep to a flat ground with their artillery, whereas the old forts escaped without a scratch.

Complaints from a Warhammer nerd in order 1. Nukes fell on both sides of the planet for the whole time of the war 2. Shovel meme is fantastic, 2.5 im fairly sure it came from a british war myth that you could cut someone in half with a shovel 3. They dont aim to “take as many people with them and die” because they dont aim to die, they are just willing to die in the cause 4. You still seem to not understand that khorne is not simply the charge in no matter the costs faction, that would be the korps. Khorne does have an idea of strategies that they put into place such as flanking in a battle and attacking from advantage. 5. Orks are nowhere near all melee, orks are one of the few factions that out gun, out number and out melee the guard as a whole and thats why they are one of the most major threats, they have other weapons then CHOPPAS and gorkanaught 6. You fail to consider that not every single unit in the DKOK is using an explosive rapid fire gun like the iron warriors would be by standard, although the DKOK do also have anti trench weapons. 7. Tyranids are another case of “will tank every shot with your lazguns” on the big ones, and the little ones will outnumber you 8. I agree with aeldari countering kriegers but krieg can win against things that dont charge directly at the trenches, thats what the mobile weapon teams, ground burrowers, cavalry, etc are for. 9. Tau. I play tau in the tabletop even, lorewise however tau are fairly slow, about as fast as a human (the weapons artillery were made to kill) the battlesuits are specialised enough to survive that with stealth speed or pure tank but they will be outgunned with numbers by the krieg. Krieg also use a specialised type of lazgun that is stronger than the normal one used by cadia for example. 10. Necron are better against krieg but also they dont have super regeneration, all of the specialised gunner weapons bar the flamer are able to kill one and send it back to the crypt. In addition shrugging off small arms fire also applies to space marines. Other than that pretty good video

yea but tbh i cant blame hime since a lot of krieg lore is no where to be found since theres almost no information out there other than books and small comments and gw being shit at writing and consistency
