You often do weird things with your titles, like simples mistakes that look like typos, inconsistent use of majuscule. What's up with that ? I would assume you're the kind of personne paying attention to such things.
The Death Korps typically fight in near-total silence, save for the orders of their commanders. Deranged lunatics is probably the phrase you're looking for.
Wondering what the death korps was up to during the space battle? No not really. Just imagined them staring at the sky while mumbling in their gas masks something like "Get down here in the mud and fight like a man you bloody cowards"
I feel like that Tech priest in the background is just looking at Arch thinking: "He's talking about Heresy... He's talking about Heresy and no one is stopping him... Sh-should I..?"
Correction it will always get worse , after all kreig guardsmen don't die for the emperor despite what they think, for right now their dying to entertain the chaos gods
_Every time a Death Korp Infantry see a problem..._ *Every Death Korp Infantry:* _Look, I'm not saying we're using our bayonet charge tactic to solve all our problems but! We definitely should, it is the best time to use that tactic._
In before the Death Corp become the first Imperial Army in history to take down a Despoiler class battleship with nothing but Lasguns, hand grenades, shovels and bayonets.
all it takes is to sharpen both parts of the blades and you got a nifty two handed spear ;3 that can be open while inside a wound, or used to snips limbs off if you on some battle drugs. you should see the battle shovels
When you think "it can't possibly get any worse, can it?" Nope nope nope. It totally can. The krieg regiment: the only people who can get aroused by the word bayonet, no matter how dire the situation is.

It wasn't until reading the Genestealer Cult Codex that I realised that Krieg is actually in Segmentum Tempestus - that, in other words, the Imperium has been supplying this siege from two whole segmentae away. Real efficient, Imperium. Real efficient.
In this case, it has less to do with efficiency and more to do with volume. Most regiments cannot produce the numbers of soldiers Krieg does, let alone have them armed, trained, supplied, and ready for the everlasting meat grinder. In addition, Krieg are specialists in exactly this brand of warfare (see episode on DKoK), so why muddy that specialization with another regiment whom while closer will likely have less experience in not only siegecraft (honestly, a very specialized brand of warfare) but are more likely to be less efficient on the ground. There is something to be said for using the right tool for the job over the nearest
One problem I can think of is that nearby worlds might be friendly to Cardinal Xaphan. What's the point of deploying a regiment of guardsmen from a world in the same sector if they just go join the rebels?

It seems you're confusing Macharius and Malcador, Arch. The first is "second-generation Baneblade" and was reintroduced to Imperium only recently, primarily being sent to regiments asking for super-heavies where no true Baneblades and the like are available. The second is a design deemed old in Great Crusade era and, yeah, was replaced by Leman Russes, now mainly mothballed
Arch, I love your discussions of the militarized nonsense of Warhammer 40k. Have you ever considered doing historical military documentaries? There is so much history that is glossed over at best or forgotten at worse that could use your unique ...um Perspective. The African campaigns of ww1 or the early Naval fights of 1914 (dueling luxury cruise ships!) Would definitely be in your wheelhouse.
The drawing at about 4:25 that shows trenches and bunkers is heretical. Trenches should have 90 degree or shallower angled intersections to stop the pressure waves of explosives that detonate inside the trench from traveling as far and killing more troops. Considering that these fortifications were built before the Cardinal even was born, they would not have been constructed as shown in the drawing.
"All i heard as those magnificient bastards went over the top lightning and thunder roaring as the rain plummeted down, was an old voice from home telling me: *There is no glory in sacrifice to the ego. There is no power in self servience. There is no honour in a mercernary's heart. Only through your actions do your words mean something in this world.* I saw two regiments of men go over a trench that day. I saw a legion of gods come back"
@@86siris just tell Netflix or someone the Vraks is trying to stop the Death Korps "immigrants" then they'll support funding this. It would make even the Alpha Legion proud. Edit: I have the perfect pitch "The "religions conservatives" of Vraks were trying to build walls to stop the poor "immigrants" of Kreig, but it turns out Vraks was manipulated by and concluding with "Russian bots" know as the Alpha Legion. They were spreading "fake news" know as chaos leaving the poor people of Kreig to express their unique culture in the only way they knew how, slowly marching across no man's land in "peaceful protest" against Vraks."
Great video as always, love the artwork. I've been listening to this "documentary" while at work, along with the other guys at my department and it really makes the time fly. Keep it up, you're doing the Emperors work over there! The only thing that really jumped out at me though is I think you've gotten the macharius mixed up with the malcador. The malcador was the heavier precursor to the leman russ that eventually got replaced and relegated to second line duty or simply mothballed. The macharius was a fairly new invention designed to fill in for baneblade variants when the forge worlds were incapable of meeting the demand. Magos Nalax of forge world Lucius designed it and when Krieg was "liberated" Lucius was designated to provide them with super heavy elements. Krieg supplied the death korp well enough but super heavies is a bit beyond their remit. As Lucius was already swamped with demands for baneblades they started producing machariuses for the death korps instead. Sorry if I went on a bit of a rant it's just I finally got my own macharius and I've read up on them quite a bit.
You know. The more lore I learn I notice some thing do make sense that otherwise wouldn't. Such as the fact all the close range melee combat, trench warfare in the 41st millenium, etc. Seeing the artwork above it all clicked. Lasers aren't very good weapons at long range. Thermal blooming attenuates the beam and breaks it up in perfectly clear air, let alone the dusty, smoky dirty environment of a battlefield. So I can imagine if you had an army composed of laser weaponry. The only way to guarantee good kills is straight up point blank firing into each others faces and large formations of shock troops. The advent of laser weaponry due to logistical requirements for a weapon that uses no ammunition and can be cheaply built and shipped in the trillions led to a regression in combat tactics because we're talking about a return to weapons that are most effective within musket range. 100 yards or so would be the real, practical effective range of most small arms laser weaponry requiring you to mass up and charge.
I really like that first picture. See, at 1:20 I was still wondering why the gentleman so fashionably dressed in red is toting a refrigerator. But at 2:38 I feel the real question is... why has Mr. Octopusface a giant metal bunny biting in his shoulder? Is this why he is so angry that he needs to vent his anger by hitting fashionably clad gentlemen with refrigerators on a stick?
"Duel" is an extremely generous way to describe said Berserker finally noticing the Guardsmen who's been pointlessly slapping at his thigh with a shovel, and then casually cutting off his head with a single disinterested stroke and continuing on.
A guardsman would not be able to do it. But hundres? Thousands? Kriegers are like orks: when enough of them get the same idea, it is hard for it to not come true.
@@catarinamagalhaes4775 I can hear the distant warcry of these Krieg Guardsmen "Kriiiiiiiiieeeeeeegh!" The more Krieg energy, the more unbelievable things happen
Silver this was in the third warhammer match I ever played but I killed a space marine with a cultist who only had a banner.... Yes I know it was mad but it happened
You should try out Foxhole... Put on a gas-mask and head for the front and you're basically a Death Korp Guardsman, we just need to be able to use shovels offensively.
I know the Kriegers were probably internally delighted, but even thewy have to have been somewhat frustrated at that situation. I mean, imagine finally smashing straight into a fortified position after months-years of a stalemate, finally getting a stable foothold.. only for a massive ship to come down from the heavens and start blasting you to pieces. That's got to be absolutely heartbreaking.
Who said that the Kriegsmen had no creativity ? "Sir ! Our tank is stuck ! -Man that pilbox ! -Sir ! Our pilbox is heavily bombarded and exposed ! -I want that unentrenched tank back to moving towards the enemy NOW !"
Damn, the Lord Commander is lucky they sent the Death Korps. ANy other Imperial Guard would have either left after such a death toll, turned renegade, or "misplaced" his orders and fought their way
Imagine this: A Krieg guardsman is found guilty of staying alive too long without sacrificing body parts and judged to live in a luxury planet. 20 Years later that said planet is constant 1700s line battles with muskets and all, while this guardsman has made the luxury planet into right and true luxury planet for a Krieg guardsman.
Asgards Son after vrak’s like I’m pretty sure he said before it started ? And maybe a couple of normal lore videos on 40k and fantasy maybe so maybe a couple of months to a year
Sopted watching the series a few month ago, just picked back up, and hearing that the death korp had to entrench themselfs again really brought back up all the crucial parts of my previous watch time
Some old British Army infantry manuals contain instructions for how to conduct indirect fires with machine guns. Probably where they got the idea from and definitely more effective with autocannons and heavy bolters.
Great sacrifice? Isn't that standard procedure for the Death Korps of Krieg? | 9:20 - Cheery?! That's not in their vocabulary! | 20:00 - Hell March from Command & Conquer Red Alery is quite fitting for this scenario. | Ciaphas Cain had the best response to the Khornate battle cry of "Blood for the Blood God", he shot one dead and said "Fine, he can take yours", I'm guessing that's next.
Unfortunately, I have never seen anyone on youtube do a full Siege Of Vraks campaign. Someday I would like to try to do it, but first I have to build a Renegade army and a trench board or two.
@@victorselve8349 Krieg isn't really german. It's uniforms are inspired from WWI prussian uniforms but that's about it. I guess you could say that the extreme reliance on hirarchy is pretty similiar to prussian military doctrine, but that kind of doctrine was pretty common during these days so it's not really a distinguishing feature. And what do you mean it doesn't translate into english? Of course it does. It's "slightly increased humidity"
Arch serious quation, how the hell was the death core able to continue fighting given that they lost void power and I'm guessing the transports, so how could they reinforce after the space battle? Plus given that there was a legion of TITANS roaming around blasting heretically at their will... How does that work out with continuous assults?
I believe, he said that this episode happens at the same time as the void battle, so loss of void superiority and arrival of titans just didnt have time to affect things on the ground
Captain Puffin Puffinson by already outnumbering the defenders 3-10 to one. You just need to get more efficient (cowardly!) with how you choose to spend your existing resources.
Should have watched to the end before commenting! :o) The events in the void in the last episode were roughly simultaneous with the events of this episode. The Chaos ship only arrived at the end.
I see you army, and raise the stakes by three groups of titans! HAHAAAH!! Oh yeah?! Well, i see your titans, and raise the stakes by an orbital defence canon! Take THAT!
When he mentioned unusual weather I thought the Plague Marines had dropped a little something extra on the Death Korps with the rain. I had forgotten the altered timeline.
Enjoyable narration as always Arch. But, i must ask. Will you inevitably make some mention of the combat engineers and sappers exploits in the vicious tunnel rat fighting that took place during the siege of vraks?

Damn, I wanted a mouse pad but taxes hit....would rather not be jailed by uncle sam ya know?
Nice! More siege of VRRRRRRRaks.
You had me at "Fix bayonets!"
What better way to start the weekend than with some Lore
Unfortunately, I have never seen anyone on youtube do a full Siege Of Vraks campaign. Someday I would like to try to do it, but first I have to build a Renegade army and a trench board or two.
Those Macharius heavy tanks are my favourite characters in this episode
30:00 anyone notice that death korp engineer giving that chaos soldier a purple nurple with wire cutters? XD
YESSSSS!!!!!!! my bookmarks loaded into a arch video again
Or as a Krieg guardsmen would call it
"Leicht erhöhte Luftfeuchtigkeit"
Why would he say that in german?
@@KingQwertzlbrmpf 1. It's a German proverb
2. Krieg is German
3. It doesn't translate to English, at all.
@@victorselve8349 "Slightly absorbing humidity"
@@victorselve8349 Krieg isn't really german. It's uniforms are inspired from WWI prussian uniforms but that's about it. I guess you could say that the extreme reliance on hirarchy is pretty similiar to prussian military doctrine, but that kind of doctrine was pretty common during these days so it's not really a distinguishing feature.
And what do you mean it doesn't translate into english? Of course it does. It's "slightly increased humidity"
@@KingQwertzlbrmpf the word Krieg
Arch serious quation, how the hell was the death core able to continue fighting given that they lost void power and I'm guessing the transports, so how could they reinforce after the space battle?
Plus given that there was a legion of TITANS roaming around blasting heretically at their will... How does that work out with continuous assults?
I believe, he said that this episode happens at the same time as the void battle, so loss of void superiority and arrival of titans just didnt have time to affect things on the ground
Because Warhammer is silly, are reasons we don't use ww1 strategies today.
Captain Puffin Puffinson by already outnumbering the defenders 3-10 to one.
You just need to get more efficient (cowardly!) with how you choose to spend your existing resources.
Your literally asking about the next episode those things just happened at the word "Pours"
Should have watched to the end before commenting! :o) The events in the void in the last episode were roughly simultaneous with the events of this episode. The Chaos ship only arrived at the end.
I see you army, and raise the stakes by three groups of titans! HAHAAAH!!
Oh yeah?! Well, i see your titans, and raise the stakes by an orbital defence canon! Take THAT!
Uhm, im confused where we are in the time line. I thought chaos titans were running down the lines?
Arch videos are a worthy reason of staying alive
The Emperor Protects!
"Sir, we are surrounded and our squads are dying by the minute!"
"Well it's about time. FIX BAYONETS"
20:20 with a name like Macharius it has to be good.
it really do be like that sometimes, ya know?
death korp idea of fighting shell the enemy line and charge into say line while the round are hitting the ground.
Is that a combat engineer disemboweling a guy with wire cutters at 30:38? How metal.
Was waiting for this one. Thanks :))
When he mentioned unusual weather I thought the Plague Marines had dropped a little something extra on the Death Korps with the rain. I had forgotten the altered timeline.
26:30 Did I just hear "retreat"?
"advancing in the opposite direction"
Dinner while listening new Vraks video. Meal never tasted better!
1:28 - That dude looks like Alucard from Hellsing :D
I imagine that Ogryn charging the Death Korp officer saying "HEY, HOWS YOUR HEALTHCARE?!" as he's winding up the backswing of his hammer
@@TheGreatThicc Too complicated for Ogryn ;) More likely is "UGGGGGHHHH!" or something like "Ogryn SMASH!"
" Y BONER 3 , THE RECKONING!!!"
Enjoyable narration as always Arch. But, i must ask. Will you inevitably make some mention of the combat engineers and sappers exploits in the vicious tunnel rat fighting that took place during the siege of vraks?
So I haven't slept since the last Siege video. I'm pretty excited to finally be able to get some rest.
It never rains around here, it just comes pouring down...
"I can guarantee eventual victory!"
Yep, that's good enough.
