It just a regular Commissars job. On Vraks they had to execute full bataillons who refused to keep fighting and where running back to their own trench (when trying to breach the second defense line if I remember correctly)
No that's just the online headcanon. Just like the idea that Kriegers are suicidal maniacs that charge Chaos Marines with their shovels. The lore is this: The Krieg Commissars are morale officers just like any Commissars. Kriegers break just as any other regiment and they don't swing their shovels around. On Vraks their morale actually broke and they fled so so much for the unbreakable maniacs the Internet makes them out. Kriegers *do* have a very pragmatic view of life and will die to achieve a certain goal (even if that goal is just to advance the front line a few meters). They are skilled fighters and use tactics and thus by the very definition they don't spend their lives easily. I find it a crying shame that the Death Korps have been reduced to a meme regiment. It's very reductive and takes away from their lore and character.
@@Onk3lM0 actually the commissars of Krieg do sometimes have to stop the men from charging to far ahead and being killed they also have faced being killed by their men for stopping them from charging cuz the commissars are not from krieg and do not know the reason why the men of krieg fight the way they do some with time understand the reason but they also know that it’s useless to waste men
@@andrewramsdale sure but that is neither an inherent quality of Krieg (read Gaunt's Ghosts series. Incompetent Commissars that don't understand or work with their regiment are common) nor does it occur in such a frequent way that it's a "thing" Krieg is known for.
I'm approximately two weeks into this hobby (started with the Militarum Combat Patrol), and just want to say this was a really nice, low-key and fun way to learn about these units.
I love how most of us are here to use minis as battle tokens to enact a plan of war and duel our opponent in a battle of wits, meanwhile Dave is literally here to play with his dollies - and he is 100% unashamed and unapologetic. You stay you Dave ❤
It's really cool that you got an army from the old range, the new plastic is nice but the detail level is noticeable especially with forgeworlds legacy .
The newer sculpts are more detailed and easier to work with, but the older sculpts nail that foot-slogging infantryman vibe. A lot of the older IG sculpts were GW trying to capture the historical wargame players, and it shows.
Love DKoK, have a large collection myself but no Forge World resin, only 3rd party and 7 boxes of the old "Veteran Guardsmen" from the earlier Kill Team set and many many tanks. Keep it up Dave, great vids
theres actually 2 command squads from frogeworld, the one in the video is the company command squad which is the hq unit, there is also the line command squad which was back when troop slots were a thing and you could put several infantry squads in a single troop slot beause guard, the line command was where the vox was the solar auxillia use this format in the horus heresy for their infantry tercios
Fun fact, the commisars of the death korps act kinda different from regular commisars. Because of the suicidal nature of the krieg. Instead of focusing on executing fleeing soldeiers they mainly focus on preventing their soldiers from needlesly charging the enemy gun lines. So they act as dams until it's tine to unleash a charge across no mans land.
07:45 there is a cool book about the lifespan of a single Guardsmen called "17 hours" named a fter the average lifespan of a new recruit in the guard. Can recommend
Thought the same but I learned that they are actually a conglomeration of different WW1 uniforms. Their coats are French, helmets German, gas mask English and so on.
Easy kit bash. Loads of spare bits in the kill team box so grab some war games Atlantic French infantry and get a bunch of heads from somewhere. Cheaper kreigers
Comissars actually don't normally go through the normal ranks of the soldiers career. they are trained by the schola progenium. so it's way less miraculus that they survive.
Mind that the Kriegsmen aren't suicidal. They're extremely pragmatic, to a level that can in some cases make Adeptus Mechanicus go WTF. For them, lives - theirs and everyone else's - are a resource to be managed, used and expended as needed required. A Kriegsman won't throw away his life for no gain, but he WILL spend it gladly if that is necessary to accomplish a battlefield goal.
After watching this i became a subscriber now this rather nice showing of the Kreig boys in customary grey could also be painted in almost any colour depending how the base is decorated ie green coat grass lands and jungle warfare, white coats snow ,beige coat desert sands, grey coat citys towns etc and blue for NAVARNA-PLEXU a chemical biological poisonous accident by the Adeptus Mechanicus experiments on Lictors that the biologist with the Deathwatch of course.
I did not know so much about them, even that they have some firepower and some presence, i still go with the Cadians, they seems to be more rational and not suicidal and have better equipment/ armor, specially the Karskin veteran squad.
I don't know how 40K uses Combat Engineers, but in the real world, they're usually the ones that clear minefields and obstacles that would hinder tanks and mechanized infantry from moving forward during assault, they also tend to do any demolitions or breaching of fortified bunkers that is needed. and yes, they can also build bridges and that sort of thing.
I find the name of the lances on the cavarly to be hillarious because fire lances were probably the first firearm used....and GW just took the concept and changed the name.
...? No one becomes a commisar. They are trained specifically for the task. Also Kriegs don't want to die in battle, they simply are willing to accept the fate. What they WANT to do is win.
It started out as steel legion at plstton level then i painted it in grimdark krieger colors. Then I bought a couple of tanks.... then kitbashed a couple of heavy tanks(ragnaroks) then I bought second hand,a dkok army that someone had done a good job of kitbashing, then more tanks, then more infantry. I found organisational tables and built a panzer granadier unit ( one armored two motorized infantry) according to 2nd edition codexeses. I now have the 3032nd pnzrgrndr regiment (improvised). And the fluff is based on battles. Lottsa kitbashes. Omg. Look at 1/35th scale russian early world war two 203.. howitzers. And their tractors!!! Mud puppies!
Came to the comments to see if my fellow kreigers correted your bit on Commissars, and it looks like they did. Normally the Commissar ensures the troops face and charge the enemy, but in the case of DKOK they intentionally stymy their zeal or try to hold them back where necessary, to avoid overwhelming and unnecessary casualties.
I'd like to go over the lore a bit more: Certain parts of the internet have sadly made the Death Korps a meme, all about how Kriegers will suicide charge the most rediculous situations with just their trench shovel and just kill their Commissars when they try to keep them from running to their death like headless chickens. I find that very reductive and whilst I can chuckle at the silly memes it has gotten to a point where this awesome army with a rich backstory is just the "haha, shovel goes brrrt" faction. So I'd like to take this opportunity and explain the actual Death Korps: Commissars assigned to the Death Korps of Krieg don't have the primary directive of "stop the men from running into enemy gunfire". They are morale officers just like any other Commissar out there. As Dave explained Kriegers carry the eternal guilt of their forefather that once betrayed the imperium and thus they think of themselves as "unworthy" and having to cleanse their bad name via glorious death in service to the Emperor. However, that doesn't mean they want to die and just throw their lives away. In fact they want to serve the imperium as best they can. That usually means winning wars and you don't win wars by blindly dying at every opportunity. Their grim outlook on life just makes them take on missions other regiments would hestitate. Need to crawl 3 kilometers through a tunnel we dug and explode these melta charges under the enemy's ammunition depot, which will 100% vaporise you in the process? Kriegers will do it. Need a unit to stay behind and hold the line while the rest retreats? Kriegers will give you three units (if you want). And so on. Life is a currency to be expended to win the war but that doesn't mean life is cheaply thrown away. Kriegers, whilst indoctrinated for war from a young age, aren't emotionless killers that'll never break no matter what hell you send them into. The civil war on Krieg itself saw regiments regularly breaking each others morale. And famously the Siege of Vraks also saw Kriegers morale break and retreat. They are absolutely hardass warriors, each and every one of them, but they are still human.
@ Man, I bought a bombard for my Krieg and dry fitted the gun with the huge shell, looked awesome. But then I looked up the stats - S6???? I’m just going to proxy it as something else.
Commissars are not native Koresman, they are actually brought in to try to stop the Kreig expelling their lives unnecessarily. So kinda the opposite role from standard Guard platoons
My grandpa told me about his participation in WW2. He was a 18 year old specially trained MG soldier of the Wehrmacht and took part in the Blitzkrieg campaign against Poland 1939. He told me that Poland still had cavalry Dragon units that came in full gallop with drawn saber down the open field. He was lying at a row of trees and mowed them completely down with his MG. All of them. This marked the definitive end of cavalry in warfare. My grandpa told me he didn't even stop for a while after that. The Wehrmacht just moved on quickly (Blitzkrieg) and crossed the field of dying cavalry soldiers. He saw horses still standing, blooding from various wounds till they fell dead. And on he went to Kiev.
Thanks emperor, this is not regular horses. And, as i understand, you flank with them troops you just attacked from underground. Nazis were lucky Poland didn't came to same conclusions. 🤪
I wish the memes didn't take over DKoK. No, they don't 'want to die in battle'. They are just more willing to take on super dangerous missions or take risks other soldiers won't. But they are still soldiers and would without a problem fall back or withdraw to better positions if necessary. They are quick to accept casualties because they see it as their duty but they don't throw away their lives for nothing just because they long for death. DKoK are an army of attrition. They specialise in siege and long drawn-out battles, throwing away your life is not the smartest thing to do in those case. That said, gorgeous army. I can't imagine how much effort it takes to paint those ancient models haha
Death Korps are best Korps. I have a personal fascination with anything WW1 related. The cavalry are interesting to me on two levels. In fluff terms the notion that they are for flanking makes the Death Korps the most ambitiously optimistic troups in the game. Trench and seige warfare are pretty notorious for not actually having flanks to attack. Thats a hallmark of that type of combat really lol. On a personal level horses were a big deal in WW1. Horses were used to shift arty and supplies around. My great grandfather (mothers side) served in WW1 in an artlillery regiment as one of the horse dudes. By some odd coincindence my other great grandfather (fathers side) worked on the home front training the horses that went to France (and probably got blown up often).
Love the forge world DKK - the true scale makes them look so gritty which really brings their backstory to life. The new sculpts in the squat cartoony proportions of the regular warhammer really don't do it for me
Can't go wrong with Siege Studios. They did a custom Gabriel Seth and Sanguinor for me and I'm happy with both. Alternatively, Blightforge on IG makes epic grim dark conversions. I have a Kharn by him, and it's glorious.

What’s the life expectancy of a Kriegsman vs Guardsman? Most accurate answer lives twice as long ❤
7 ½ hours
@@Mr_Quimper Just couldn't make it 8 hours eh?
For the average guardsman, life expectancy on the battlefield is measured in hours. For the kriegsmen? Minutes.
Maybe 15 hours if you go by Mitchel Scanlon novel “Fifteen Hours”. Krieg is a whole different beast compared to other Astra Militarum groups. It’s more of how many bodies are you willing to expend for an objective. Best representation of this mindset is the novel “Krieg” by Steve Lyons.
depends, are you at the front of the line or are you traitorous scum?
If memory serves the Krieg Commissars have the job of keeping the troops from running into battle, rather than from battle.
It just a regular Commissars job. On Vraks they had to execute full bataillons who refused to keep fighting and where running back to their own trench (when trying to breach the second defense line if I remember correctly)
No that's just the online headcanon. Just like the idea that Kriegers are suicidal maniacs that charge Chaos Marines with their shovels.

It is habit forming, be warned.
One of us, one of us, one of us!

Facts.
Yes!
It's really cool that you got an army from the old range, the new plastic is nice but the detail level is noticeable especially with forgeworlds legacy .
The newer sculpts are more detailed and easier to work with, but the older sculpts nail that foot-slogging infantryman vibe. A lot of the older IG sculpts were GW trying to capture the historical wargame players, and it shows.
@alistaroand they did. h
Watching daddy Dave tell me a story was weirdly nice and soothing.
I think the death Korps are the best regiment by far and am super siked for there new plastic models
Same. New models look cool.
I frigging love the Death Korps of Krieg. Can't wait for the new models to come out.
I think this might be the coolest collection I've ever seen. The paint job on this Krieg army captures their aesthetic and lore perfectly.
Siege of Vraks might be my favourite 40k story so far. I come back to it again and again. Made me collect Krieg.
Krieg were my first army and my gateway to being such an avid enthusiast for the Imperial Guard.
Looking forward to starting a Krieg army, pretty cool army showcase vid. I really liked the format :)
Yea, I gotta agree a 40k army based on Rohan would very awesome to see.
Brilliant video. Thank you for making this one Dave.
This channel rocks. Keep moving.
Love DKoK, have a large collection myself but no Forge World resin, only 3rd party and 7 boxes of the old "Veteran Guardsmen" from the earlier Kill Team set and many many tanks. Keep it up Dave, great vids
The same for me. Alot of steel legion infantry as well. Pile of shame is getting smaller.
Thanks to you I found inspiration for an Army I wanna paint in the future.
Nice worn down, rusted metal look and damage signs you have there.
This was awesome, I need more of it in my feed!
I love that the DKOK is a hommage to the 1st world war soldiers, mixing French and German soldiers elements.
So cool
The lenses of your Quartermaster's mask go exceptionally hard, I must figure out how to recreate it lol.
Fantastic video Dave
Yarrick omnibus, fantastic book, highly recommended.
great video dave, death corps krieg (unendng and (so far) uncaring waves of mass casualties) has analogies in 2024 warfare too! thank you Sir!:)
15 hours is the average life expectancy of new meat in the guard

11:01 just imagine he got rejected and the way of getting rejected is getting shot specifically in the heart
such a shame their models were obscenely overpriced for a generation (and now they're in plastic, just normally overpriced)
It's probably so owner's of the old models don't feel ripped off
Grimguard 3D printed armies, you’re welcome
Damn, that collection is worth a small fortune.
07:45 there is a cool book about the lifespan of a single Guardsmen called "17 hours" named a fter the average lifespan of a new recruit in the guard. Can recommend
As a German, I appreciate that all positive German terms like Krieg are now part of the English language.
Honestly can't wait to see the new models painted in this super dirty grimdark style, I think they're gonna look rad.
Kept moving today. Got over a mile walking with the dog…..and Farsighted is the Bomb.
Really great job! 🌟🌟🌟🌟
Great looking army!
They look like WW1 german soldiers. I might start collecting them soon. Especially the cavalry models.
Thought the same but I learned that they are actually a conglomeration of different WW1 uniforms. Their coats are French, helmets German, gas mask English and so on.
@@Onk3lM0French German and English like u said the ones that are pure German in looks are steel legion

Looked into it, most commissar survive to be around 40. Seeing as how most standard guardsman die on their first few missions thats quite impressive.
That Hugo Boss outfit is fire.. :))

That's a nice doll collection.
. . . And now for the Steel Legion refresh, come on GW ! ! !
Like zombie voodoo terminators, the chances of a ladybug landing on your sleeve is low, but never zero.
15:05 the bumper you mentioned is also used to dig in the ground so when the gun fires it goes get kicked back becuase of the recoil
Interesting. What is it about the DKoK that draws you?
lol, @@MWG_Dave AI responses are crazy... Recoil. Recoil, draws us back.

This is such a cool army.
guardsmen, you will serve on the front line, or you will serve on the firing line
Little disappointed he didn't show off the Earth Shaker Cannon that is so massive it requires a team of men just load the thing
If I must buy a sentinel for my guardsmen I know it will become GeenSteeler cult.
That Drill makes surprising technical sense, for being a 40K model...
Love you Dave
Don't worry Dave, it's still called the Imperial Guard for those of the faith.
Brilliant video and may I just say, for the emperor 😅😅
I hope we can get a plastic mecharious soon, my dkok needs a vulkan variant
Great grimy style
I find the name of the lances on the cavarly to be hillarious because fire lances were probably the first firearm used....and GW just took the concept and changed the name.

The "bumper" on the colossus is a spade. It lowers into the earth to prevent the howitzer from rolling back from recoil.

I'd like to go over the lore a bit more:
Certain parts of the internet have sadly made the Death Korps a meme, all about how Kriegers will suicide charge the most rediculous situations with just their trench shovel and just kill their Commissars when they try to keep them from running to their death like headless chickens.
I find that very reductive and whilst I can chuckle at the silly memes it has gotten to a point where this awesome army with a rich backstory is just the "haha, shovel goes brrrt" faction.

Not just the Macharius tanks, but also the Bombard, Praetor and a host of other models.
@ Man, I bought a bombard for my Krieg and dry fitted the gun with the huge shell, looked awesome. But then I looked up the stats - S6???? I’m just going to proxy it as something else.
I love the death corps of kreig but I don’t know where to by them
Yeah Buddy!
Commissars are not native Koresman, they are actually brought in to try to stop the Kreig expelling their lives unnecessarily. So kinda the opposite role from standard Guard platoons
I keep wanting to see these painted in feldgrau or with head-swaps to French infantry helmets.
That’s a lot of shovels 👀
There combat engineers! They blow stuff up, build bridges,dig tunnels! They fix your damn car!

What colors did you use on the tanks...(*To paint the future kriegs and tanks)
Life expectancy of a Imperial Guardsman is 15 Hours
how doni find these models? cant seem to find anywhere
For your knowledge those "Horses" was not actually Horse they actually Bear genetic as horse
WWI in the 41st Millennium - Amazing
