"I once heard Sly Marbo was a missing primarch"
@@Trollio_Yt perhaps, but that kinda undersells his raw unlimited power😳
Maybe Sly Marbo is both missing primarchs....
@@Morogwai He is the one that ate the other one
Dorn can confirm otherwise
"I can confirm that as not being true." (Paraphrased)
The "some of the best, if not THE best" bit is one of the best, if not THE best bits on this entire channel
@@guidomista3570 as long as there are guardsmen to glaze I’ll keep it running🫡
They are simply all the best there ever was.
You can tell he was excited about this one, each little dude has so much more detail. He even got promoted to a kasrkin
@@plasticbag4102 lmao yeah I had a lot of fun drawing the various storm troopers
Finally. Some guardsmen glaze.
We need much more glazing for guardsman than shitty space simps
@@GreenKorby I’ll glaze guardsmen til the day I die🫡
Only in death does the glazing end@@KrakDuk
@@thomastlol4762 even in death i still glaze.
Yep, it's the Kasrkin episode. Now this is epic, hope everyone likes this video as much as I like the Kasrkin
Correction: While Steel Legion Stromtroopers may seem similar to Death Korps Grenadiers, they are very different as they are organized into divisions and usually are sent to support units on a company level. Additionally, while they do sometimes wear the Steel Legion rebreather most of them wear the usual Stormtrooper pug faced mask.
Kid stepped out of line so the drill abbot brutally made the kid do a jig on their tiptoes then recite the Lectitio Divinitatus backwards to set an example to the others
It was one of the best, if not THE best video you ever made.
The katzakian are classified as grenadiers like the death corpse of krieg grenadiers by the astral the only units classified as Stormtroopers are the tempesta scions
Death Korps, pronounced "core", not "corpse". Or perhaps a 4D chess move to make English Imperial Citizens like myself drive comments...I will tell The Inquisitors!
No joke the Kasrkin vs. Chaos Cult part in the second Eisenhorn book was epic. It started as "Well, seems elite enough" when they decimated the cultists effortlessly, but then the Daemon host appears and oh man the sequence was the indomitable human spirit kicking in. They died but they did to save and buy some time for Eisenhorn and his team; basically holding back.
WE KASRKIN ARE BORN TO DIE! GET EM, LADS!
That bit about the navy seals having the names of American heroes got me thinking. Now I just want a spec ops group with the madmen of American history like John Paul Jones, John Brown, and Douglas MacArthur.
@@orthobison9749 dont forget Roy Benavidez, and war daddy (forgot his name but was a sherman tank commander. Movie fury was based of him)
@@josemgarcia141 or Audie Murphy and Carlos Hathcock
@@josemgarcia141 Lafayette "War Daddy" Pool
Douglas macarthur while he might been cool during ww2 he was kinda a scumbag, there was his failure in korea, and then after his retirement he pushed for less veterans benefits
@@orthobison9749 i can see that being a Netflix show or something lmao
🎶"OUT OF THE TRENCHES, THE STORMTROOPERS RISE!"🎶
STRIKE IN ZERO HOUR
Sabaton jumpscare
Nice sabaton reference
Death korp also fit well the attack of the dead mens
🔥
Jägers led the way, the pioneers would join the fray, initiative gained, advancement sustained
This video is one the best krakduk videos if not the best
Need this kind of comment after each video
@@thatno0b504 thank you! I really enjoyed making this one, I just love the stormtroopers and it was cool to learn more about some I didn’t know much like the steel legion ones
I think yours is one of the best, if not THE best version of this meme comment.
9:55
I just had the epiphany that tabletop 40k is essentially just green army men taken to its extreme conclusion
@@dontshootmex5588 it basically is lmao. My childhood made me destined to find warhammer. I used to army build green army men and Lego stormtroopers.
Thanks for watching!
Well tabletop Wargames started with little Tin Soldiers, way back in the 1700s. These Tin Soldiers were the "Army Men" of their time.
The Napoleonic Tin Soldiers is what started D&D. "Chainmail" was a ruleset for incuding Fantasy elements in Napoleonic Wargames, And that is what directly inspired D&D.
Warhammer Fantasy Battles Started cause Games Workshop had the UK license for D&D and they came up with it as a way to assemble your D&D mini collection into a whole army.
Then 40k Rouge Trader was Warhammer Fantasy Battles "IN SPACE"
So, it all comes Full Circle.
"kid stepped out of line so the drill abbot brutally ripped their (left)eye and then ate it to set an example to others"
@@hellwolf2251 that would explain the asymmetric masks of some of the old inquisitorial stormtroopers lmao
@@KrakDuk yup and it adds character -1 perception +2 intimidation
Kid stepped out of line so the drill abbot brutally sandblasted their toes off and then salted the nubs to set an example to the others
"Stormtroopers are the best humans" *Solar Auxilia left the chat
To be fair, The Solar Auxilia doesn't exist at the same time of stormtrooper.
Solar auxilia left the galaxy too. But yeah they’re the ultimate in what a standard human army could be
@@sturm9087 Why did they leave the Galaxy?
@@agent5778 after the Horus Heresy they were disbanded as a formation. They were an entirely self sufficient extremely well equipped human army that could quickly and easily replenish its numbers and had equipment for pretty much any kind of combat. They were nearly as dangerous as an astartes fleet when they went rogue. So the astartes got cut down into chapters because the imperium was run by primarchs after the heresy and they were seen as the perfection of human warriors by the emperor. The solar auxilia had no such protections so instead of being cut down into smaller formations they were outright removed as a pattern of the imperial army.
"They litteraly have the power of friendship on their side" Friendship is magic, AND MAGIC IS HERESY!!!
"kid stepped out of line so the drill abbot brutally gyat their rizzler and then nae naed to set an example to the others"
I'm going to regret this in a year.
The edgy brainrot kid😂
You should regret it now.
@@larryking500 you sir would be too cruel for the position. We’ll send you to deal with the dark eldar
"kid stepped out of line so the drill abbot brutally hit the griddy to diddle their gyatt and then fanum taxed his ankles to set an example to the others"
Only imperial stormtroopers are so precise
*Solar Auxilia left the chat
@@sparrowsbewertungen6930 i wish starwars didn’t make their storm troopers a joke, they’re actually really cool in concept😭 thanks for watching!
@@KrakDukas Star Wars fan I too wish they weren't turned into a joke - IIRC, only original trilogy and Andor treats them right
@@Jfk2Mr all the jokes about them started during the original trilogy...
One of the best, if not THE BEST video on UA-cam! This time - for real!
@@MrEricoze thank you! Glad you enjoyed
These guys need a book series of their own
You could probably get a really good tactical strategy game out of the Scions or Kasrkin. Something like Aliens Dark Descent where you control a fire team in real-time to complete objectives, with an alarm meter that ramps up the difficulty as your team is discovered and spends more time fighting.
There is one : "Kasrkins" by Edoardo Albert
@rangerofthewasteschaoticne6888 lets be realistic.......no real 40k fan will ever try and be stealthy in that game 🤣
Fun fact - in Dark Crusade, if Tau are the one that beat the Imperial Guard, in their epilogue there is an info that after the fall of Victory Bay to the Tau some Karskins managed to escape to the wilds and they started a guerilla war against the xenos.
Imagine a book about them in a scenario like this :)
Fun fact: Stormtroopers that make it out of the Schola Progenium and into a guard regiment are actually "rejects" - the best of the best get taken into an Inquisitorial retinue instead.
Imagine, if the rank-and-file stormtroopers are this elite, how much better are the ones that work for the Inquisition?
Source: "Caves of Ice" by Sandy Mitchell (2nd Ciaphas Cain novel).
I mean, if you're regularly dealing with the embodiments of the Chaos Gods, you'd HOPE those guys are good..
I think the Lucifer Blacks have to be my favorite elite guard regiment. Too bad there isn’t too much lore about them, other than that a Lucifer Black sergeant was able to land a hit on Alpharius himself.
@@quacker2212 ya those dudes are badass. I got a whole video dedicated to them planned for the future. Thanks for watching!
I figured they never see any actual combat on Terra, and have doubts about how good they really are.
BASED. Storm troopers, Kasrkin, anything guard related but equipped with carapace armor is fucking awesome. Gotta love the chunky little devils.
@@sanchez444 based take. Carapace armor and hellguns is a god tier combo
One of my favorite "Elite Troops" of humanity are the Lucifer Blacks, they caught on to Alpharius and thought "Nah I'd win." even though they didn't but one did manage to land a blow on him. They are as close to a Custodes a human can get.
In terms of skill alone to make a wash down comparison. If the regular guard are equivalent to regular frontline battle brothers of the astartes, The Scions are the equivalent to the Grey Knights/Death Watch and the Lucifer Blacks are the Custodians.
That fucking korps corpse joke was amazing.
Except it isn't pronounced as corpse. It's pronounced core.
@@TheRonan92yes that's the point 😂
@Sara3346 literally makes the joke not work. It's not the point. Mispronounced for the entire video.
@@TheRonan92 Just because you didn't laugh didn't mean there wasn't a functional joke.
@@Sara3346 Is the functional joke in the room with us now?
Hey, the steel legion aren't yellow dkok, the dkok are blue/grey/green steel legion! (No actually, the first dkok models were kitbashes of steel legion models. Steel legion came first. Sucks that gw forgot about them.)
funny but also sad that now it is the opposite
@@m1sfir32 lol yeah I was poking fun at that little misconception. RIP steel legion enjoyers. Tbh I think steel legion is cooler than Krieg anyways. Thanks for watching!
Krieg came first as a concept (IG 3rd Ed Codex vs Codex: Armaggedon), but the first Krieg models were indeed repainted Steel Legion
@@KrakDukHERESY
While I'm very happy at a KrakDuk upload, the lack of Lucifer Blacks in this episode is kinda sad, but understandable. Hopefully in another episode
He's the best, if not close to the best
Turn the "Edge" to 11! I freaking loved this Thanks for the great lore it makes 40K so much more enjoyable.
@@pulsegategaming lmao some 40K lore is just straight edge🤣🤣 thanks for watching! Always good to see you here
Harakoni need more lore! What we have is so badass. these fuckers are basically the U.S. Army Rangers during WW2 but with Plasma guns and against flesh tearing horrors! They got two modes: Hot drop directly into the most well defended zones like a Helldiver, and then just hold out for as long as you can until the main force can relieve you. Or guerilla warfare where they are dropped behind the lines and expected to act like Catachans, minus the genetic superiority.
100%. It’s a fucking crime that they keep getting overshadowed by the Elysians!
"Good job on surviving your third battle, Hans. Now put that skull mask, shit is now getting real."
**coughs in 20% survival rate for grenadiers**
TEMPESTUS SCIONS MY BELOVED
Your channel is arguably better than the other 40k lore channels. Short(not a 2 hr video), to the point, and funny lol.
Kasrkin are the best stormtroopers if not guard units. Love your videos Kastellan Krak.
Fun fact: at the siege of Kraks Khornate space marines arived and started killing the death korps of Krieg but after the death korps reorganised a bit they fought the khornate berserkers in MELEE COMBAT and WON by sheer will and determination
Sly Marbo likes going on enthusiastic walks in the countryside for relaxation. Still leaving mountains of corpses in his wake and usually he only has a pocket knife on him.
dude the Korps/Corpse joke is so funny and infuriating lmao
They're all some of the best, if not THE best storm troopers around!
Kasrkin are also my favorit stormtroopers. There is another epic Kasrkin moment in the lore, namly in the book "cadian blood", where a Kasrkin seargent climbs up a chaos dreadnought with his broken arm and proceeds to kill the dreadnought by shooting in the eyeslit with his hot shot laspistol!
Nice video! But I think the Lucifers Black deserves an honor mention! There's sadly not much lore but a whole storm strooper regiment thats trusted with guarding the imperial palace along side *custodes * and that can trace their lineage back to the great crusade crusading with the big e himself
My custom regiment Storntroopers are called “Tannith scouts” (obviously based on the tannith First n only) and i imsgine the deep strike as them being camoflsuged in position ahead if time for ambushes
This video is one of the best videos of the Chanel if not the best video at all
Dang, you made me realize that all these guys are some of the best, if not THE best stormtroopers out there!
I didn't know that Armageddon grenadiers existed, now i need some hellguns for my steel legion
Ya I wish there was more stuff on them. What i found was pretty sparse and it seems they mostly wear the extra armor under their coats anyways.
Thanks for watching!
This is one of thr best storm trupper video if not the best
I love my Death korps Granadier from the kill team, he's my favourite mini from the box
KASRKIN HELL YEAH BROTHER
you are one of the best, if not the best 40k animator/machinima guy
I don't need a video to tell me how good kasrkin are after I lost an entire thunderwolf squad to them, mostly through overwatch
@@quintonnanneman6826 oh yeah kasrkin are always fun on the tabletop (even if I hardly play lmao)
Love the vids KrakDuk! Kasrkin are so friggin cool I would love to see them in more of the games. Do you think you will ever do a video on the different types of Imperial Titans? (Love me some Imperial Knights)
Krakduk maybe the best Stormtroopers, if not THE BEST stormtroopers around.
This , this right here is what I was lookin for! 😂😂😂
I too love the guard and I am glad to see the stormtroopers mentioned. They are up there for me behind the Mordian Iron Guard and Eylsian Drop troops.
I love Stormtroopers, both of the Imperium of Man and the First Galactic Empire.
I found your channel today and watched like 3 or 4 videos so far and had to sub you are way too funny.
Aye thanks alot dude! Glad you like my videos I appreciate it
Imperial Guardsmen will always be the most badass warriors of 40K. In a galaxy of hyper advanced alien races and mind bending horrors beyond your comprehension, you are a normal man, having nothing to protect you other than your low quality armor and weapons, the meat shields in front of you, and the Emperor's mercy. To face the horrors of the 41st millennium as a mortal man is nothing short of badass.
"Remember, lads! Just like we did on Ceprus Prime!"
7:42 I see what you did there. Well played.
Teehee
"Kid stepped out of line so the drill abbot brutally [scolded] their [disobedience] and then [punished them with a reasonable level of harshness] to set an example to the others."
"kid stepped out of line so the drill abbot brutally called their parents and then had a stern talk to set an example to the others"
Its really traumatizing when you realize that all the kids in the Schola are orphans.
Every Stormtroopers variant: ..some of The BEST STORMTROOPERS, if not THE BEST STORMTROOPERS around.
Fun to think that in the thirtieth millennium, almost every member of the Solar Auxilia was on the level of the 40k stormtroopers
Great video(Scions are my fav fr)
I’m convinced all the schola lore with casual drill abbot murder and the spine thing, as well as the mindscraping, is from the days where it was over the top satire instead of the more serious tone now
Kidd stepped out of the line so the drill abbot brutally yelled their lungs out and told him he wasn't the best of the best, if not the best to set an example to the others
I own all three kinds of Storm troopers depicted.
they are my favorite unit too! so big respect!
Babe wake up, new KrakDuk vid just dropped
"Kid stepped outta line so the drill abbot brutally made him stand at the position of attention horizontally so that he himself had become a line and then told the others to forget the old line and stand on the new one"
Playing DOW1 and getting the Kasrkin out as IG is when you stop baiting and start pushing. "Long have I wished to serve under you, Sir!"
what I learned from this vid is that all of these are the best stormtrooper regiments no exceptions
"Mega augmented freaks with literal aim assist" is craaazzyyyy 😂😂😂😂
As someone who's made an army of Inquisitorial Stormtroopers from the new(ish) Kasrkin kits, this made my little guardsman heart flutter. Glad to see someone shares the enthusiasm for Stormtroopers that I do. Anyway, I'm gonna go lament the way they massacred Valkyries this edition ... again.
“THE IMPERIUM OVERCOMES, AND WE ARE THE IMPERIUM!”
"Kid stepped outa line so the drill abbot brutally got a credit card for 40k dollars with 40% APR in their name and then maxed it out to set an example to the others."
Solar Auxiliary: Ha don't make me laugh,
Andrei from Helsreach is an example of an Armageddon Steel Legion storm trooper.
Let’s karking goooooo another Duk video just in time for lunch break
You now made me love storm troopers
Kid stepped out of line so the drill abbot brutally shit their pants and then made it fortnit dance to set an example to the others
Also in the same book where the Kasrkin fight the daemonhost, Eisenhorn and his party even say their uneasy around Kasrkin. Even the Eisenhorn himself says he'd be afraid to fight just one of them.
Hey love the video. You really light up talking about your favorite subects. Im sending/Showing your stuff to anyone who will listen. Welcome to the big wigs. Love your stuff, and keep up the good work. Health, wealth, and happiness to you and your family.
Thanks a lot! I really appreciate it, I’m glad you like my videos. I wish you the same!
"Kid stepped outta line so the drill abbot brutally talked shit to the cartel on their social media account account and posted his address on his story to set an example to the others"
"Kid stepped outta line so the drill abbott brutally hooked up with their mom and then brought her in on family day to set an example to the others
Very excited for this one, tabletops I play primarily “stormtroopers”, whether they’re scions, inquisitors requisition stormtroopers, Grieg grenadiers, I even have a few old metal Kasrkin minis(I use them as sergeants)
Love your channel❤
This was awesome
Thanks!
The death korps used to be an alternate steel legion paint scheme before they became their own army, just a heads up.
Dont forget that one time the Kasrkin Killed a Old ass Chaos Dreadnaught, Im pretty sure theres a Animation of it around here on UA-cam
Loved it, loved it! Bring on the rant! You rant with the best of them. You are Lazerpig, t6 and Bitter Lynx level!
This has quickly become my new favorite warhammer channel
I love your videos for your little drawings alone! I also never heard of these guys until i saw youe video so thanks for telling more about Warhammer 40k!:D
Great video as always. In honor of this video being released, I will be putting together my Krieg Grenadiers and painting my Kasrkin.
the "Intervene" tweet got me dead
This was probably the best!
If not thee best!
fan rant on how cool Stormtroopers are 🤟
GIVE EM THE ‘OL KASRKIN DUBBLE TAP!
tbh your videos are the best, if not THE best, funny and short informational videos for 40k to ever exist
edit: have to say bestest of the best elite soldiers. Necron Lychguard.
I'm sorry
His excitement ane energy is infectious i see him at 0:20 and i also get a big ol smile on my face
In 40k:darktide everyone is rejected discount stormtroopers
Another neatly animated video, you're getting better! Keep em coming and interesting!!
I love seeing your drawing gallery expand. Great video as always
Dude, you keep these videos comin' and i'll keep coming back. Love them!!!
I think that krakduk is one of the best, if not the best, youtubers ever!
YES!!!! Love the stormtroopers but Kasrkin are the best! Salt of the earth and tough as nails...not like those snooty glory boys. Lol! Great video Krak and great to see my fave faction get some love. BTW, you're right: the old Inquisitorial Stormtroopers were indeed glorious even with the Easter Island noggin...😅😅😅
Grenadiers really said 💀
I love how he avoided the term marine corps so that its not space marine, but navy seal for stormtrooper
Storm Troopers in all their forms are probably my favourite infantry in 40K. The metal 3rd Edition ones are still my favourites - I love their respirators especially, like a sci-fi version of the SAS in the photos from the Iranian Embassy Siege in the 80s. The poses werent perfect as you say, and the models are a bit 'busy' with all the grenades and pouches, but while I quite like the plastic Scions, I wish they had been a bit closer to their predecessors (though having the beret option, as a nod to the original STs, is very nice). The Kasrkin models - metal and Kill Team plastic - are great as well.
...still really think that Hellguns/Hot-shot Lasguns should have -2AP and all Stormies have Toughness 4 (in exchange for a small cost increase) though.
This is the best video, if not THE best video around. (keep making content I really like its style)
