Their penance had not been unheard by the Emperor, who wept for the Children of Krieg, the Prodigal Sons and Daughters of the Imperium who atone for the sins of those who came before, Sacrificing their lives on the innumerable battlefields across the Imperium, not knowing they had long been forgiven.
Tragedy: They probably won't ever be forgiven until literally every foe is defeated, the Imperium, while massive and has near billions to trillions of guardsmen, can't risk losing the billions bred on Krieg, and as such can't take the risk of them losing the will to fight the way they are by being forgiven. They'd either become MORE suicidal of joy, or become a 'normal' regiment with billions of troops, while useful, Krieg is built for setting up and breaking sieges, and are quite good at it because of their suicidal nature. Worst case senario, they stop fighting altogether, which while slim, is always available, and the Administratum can not take that risk. So on and on they will burn. "In an endless cycle, I am a nameless link, though millions from before gone too in a blink.... May the mountains of our corpses earn a scrap of his forgiveness." But they never will. They are the true tragedy, forever fighting for forgiveness that will never be administered, no matter how much the person wishes for it.
@@Dragonspirit223No. They've earned forgiveness, so long as they never stop marching until either Krieg and every Kriegsman falls, or until all heretics and all hostile xenos are purged. The non-hostile ones can be purged by others. It took their future, but they are forgiven, but cannot be allowed it back until the job is done.
Commissar: We've overrun them, we need to reinforce this trench and wait for reinforcements! Oh for the love of the Emperor, stop charging! *Shoots Kriegsmen to stop them from dying*
No no, everyone knows if you want to stop Kriegsman from charging you threaten to send them to either a peaceful planet or if your lucky a pleasure planet. Reminding them of course that either option will see to it that there will be no dying for the Emporer of winning victories for him. Best to send a small group of men to such places for a couple of days to show your Kriegers that it's not an idle threat. Also make sure they know if it even seems like any one of the shot back the whole lot of them will be subjected to this punishment. Does tend to keep the enemy being the only one shooting at or straight out shooting the Commisar.
@@juliovictormanuelschaeffer8370 Exactly.Emperor shall not tolerate any cwardice,Anyway i gotta head back to the trenches to polish my shovel and sharpen it see you around.
For them, their debt has only the barest fraction has been. Every setback, and every defeat the Imperium suffered during the Kreig Civil War is sin that the DKoK must atone. For the men, the munitions, the supplies, vehicles that fought in their Civil War was a man, a munition, a supply or vehicle that the Imperium did not have when it was needed most elsewhere. That is the source of their guilt, and their fanaticism.
No question of forgiveness the one city who stayed loyal destroyed the heretics so I think the death korps would have already been forgiven if the emperor could tell them so either through psykers or by calling the governor of krieg to come to the throne room
Krieger: “Where am I?” Emperor: “In my halls, guardsman. Rest easy for your duty has been fulfilled. A shame to see such youth wasted to repay the debt in which one does not owe.” (Removes the guardsman’s gas mask) Krieger: (Kneels) “I am not worthy of your forgiveness, Emperor.” Emperor: “Nonsense. Anyone your youth who charges into the horrors of battle without fear to seek my forgiveness is deserving rest.”
We do not deserve any forgiveness.We disobeyed the emperor. We are not worthy of his presence. We are paing off our debt. The debt was not paid off yet. We shall break our positions to repay it. Or at least a shard of our sin.
Even in death our debt is not paid. It shall never be paid. For our sins against the God Emperor of mankind are too terrible and too many. My fate is to forever stand guard knowing that I do not deserve to rest. If I do not stand guard in the afterlife then my fate is to be reborn back on Krieg in an endless cycle of dying and being reborn to try in vain to attone for my sin.
We fought and died on a thousand worlds for atonement, now I shall stand guard at the gate to his hall for the rest of time to become worthy of his presence.
Wasn’t it Baldermort who said “If the Emperor were to be healed and walk amongst his people he could crush the fighting spirit of the men and women of Krieg, he could eradicate hundreds of years of hate, pain and suffering with but three words. ‘I forgive you.’
man, I can imagine, on the rare case that a high ranking Krieger ever goes back to Kriege, he has a ritual, one of the captured traitor hives from centuries ago, the rock crete bear etching of names, from both sides, tallied and recorded in the 500 year civil war. he comes back with this list of the crossed out numbers on his reports, and slowly crosses out the names, one name, one number, one name one number... when memorial of a hive city no longer bears any legible names.... then maybe, just maybe they can be forgiven...
That’s similar to the fact that if a member of the DKoK dies a martyr or does a good enough act they get to be given a name from the census made before Krieg’s rebellion
This just makes me want a warhammer game where you control a squad of krieg guardsman on a doomed planet, each moment of combat would be brutally hard where winning is impossible, just to hammer in how brutal both sides can be. Krieg never give up, yet they cannot win this conflict.
you miiiiiight want to rethink that. the average life span of a krieg soldier is less than 1 hour. join the cadians instead. atleast you get 1 WHOLE day before you die.
Everybody is praising Cadians, Krieg, Mordian, etc but nobody is giving a shit about guardsman Tom from Mining World D345-9 somewhere in Segmentum Pacificus. He was melted accidentally by Titan's friendly fire. Press F for Tom!

@@kuzmin2744 Yes, if I remember right in the Second war for Armageddon a Krieg battalion rushed a heavily defended Ork position because they were out of power packs and killed the majority of the orks with whatever they could find. The commissars couldn't stop them and in most Imperial Guard regiments the Commissar's job is to stop guardsman from retreating my executing cowards and keeping the momentum up for those under his charge. Commissars of the Death Korps job is to be a liaison to literally any other Imperial faction also participating in the battle so that they can keep up with the Krieg guardsman and actually be useful. They are also responsible for damage control when the guardsman inevitably fight amongst themselves, or when generals or other commanding officers just don't understand the Krieg mentality and how they work. For example a Krieger would insult any other guardsman by claiming his faith is lacking. On the field however, a Krieg commissar's job is to keep the guardsman from dying too quickly or getting to overzealous and wasting their lives through uncoordinated attacks by literally shooting them in the back if they charge forward. If you are truly interested in this faction of Guardsman I would highly suggest reading a book called Dead Men Walking by Steve Lyons or just straight up reading the lore written about the faction. As far as the brutality of this faction of guardsman I personally think they are the most bad ass and most tragic of the majority of what the Imperium has to offer.
The shovel is a useful tool for a Krieger. It is an entrenching tool, a blade if needed, or merely a tool to keep something grounded. But you'd be more likely to see a Krieger bayonet charge with their lasgun instead, either entirely disregarding the shovel, or using it as a desperate last resort to please the emperor.
I'm finishing up my Black Legion army and want to start a loyalist army at some point. Ive been looking at the Krieg for a long time and I think I'm going for it
Of all the evils perpetrated upon man by others, nothing could ever match those that man is willing and eager to inflict upon himself. Even the most depraved of monsters would balk at the nightmarish fate inflicted upon Krieg, and the unstoppable, broken army that it has spawned.
