Imperial Armour Fall of Orpheus gave the Death Korps a new type of regiments, the Assault Brigade.

+@@kybercat7+ I think Astartes/Legion Chain weapons use small fusion power systems, that won't run out of juce anytime soon. Better off trying to break the weapon instead.
@@cnlbenmc You could be right about this. im really not sure. On one hand chaos space marines often have access to old legion gear that is as good if not better than modern standard Astartes gear. He could be useing a beautifully crafted chainsword with a power cell that can last a entire month before needing to be replaced. On the other hand many chaos bands have been wandering without any real form of resupply for thousands of years. Its totally possible that a war band has has most of its legion gear break down over the years. with most lower ranking marines having to make due with whatever they could scavenge from dead loyalists. TLDR The Thing about chaos is that even chaos war gear is well...chaotic and unpredictable.
You'd think Krieg would be given priority for bionic replacements, as while replacements are a dime a dozen, if you can keep a dude who lost his legs in action, then you'll now have 11 Krieg guardsmen, instead of the 10 who were already ready to replace the one lost. It may not sound like much but the numbers would add up quickly. I don't see any reason to not keep as many of these adamantium-balled bastards combat capable as possibly by any means necessary. My point is, Death Korps of Krieg + a detachment of Mechanicus with some knowledge in the makings of bionics = Many many soiled traitor undergarments
Changing that culture would be hard. Mayne attach a sororitas chapter to them as medics, so that the men of Krieg will know that the Emperor wants the broken among them to continue to serve?

Catachan Jungle Fighter: Doing a joint operation with Krieg is great. They LOVE drawing the enemy out and leaving em open to slice their throats. Still, they scare the grox piss out of me.
During World War 1, when British and French medics treating injuries from trench fighting noticed some alarmingly large wounds. These gashes seemed to be made with a large blade such as an axe. One doctor asked a front line officer if they had recovered any battle axes from German troops. They hadn't. It turns out that the Imperial German soldiers had taken to sharpening their entrenched tools, the folding shovels, and using them as melee sidearms. This practice was quickly adopted by other armies. Today, there is an entire fighting style centered around the weapon. It would not surprise me to learn that Krieg guardsmen re-invented this martial art. Edit: autocorrect changed axe to are. Changed back.
The Death Korps: the only Guard force where the battle cry “Kill me Daddy!” Is allowed and not looked into by the Inquisition or Commissariat. These guys scare me, in Dead Men Walking they fight Necrons and actually look forward to it! But as bat shit insane as they are, I wouldn’t mind them on my side.... yah know, as long as they aren’t depressing/scaring the entire front when they are not in combat.

Nah. The Death corps doesn't enjoy war. If they enjoyed war, that would mean that they were having fun and they don't deserve fun.

I'll be glad to give you my shekels when I get paid again.
Warrior Crab I'm thinking around the level of aggression where he would charge a chaos space marine, get cut in half, then proceed to try and strangle that same chaos space marine with his (the guardsmans) own hanging intestines whether the gurdsman succeeds is up in the air but that's probably the level of aggression required on average by my guess.

Modern Gas masks are pretty comfortable in my opinion. We have to wear them a lot in my unit since we are specialised to fight biological threats (also chemical to some degree), the longest period I had to wear one without break was 33 hours during the summer. You can breath well with the actual combat filters (training filters are worse they also last only 50h compared to combat filters +500h) and you can drink safely at any time using your specialised canteen. BUT: The fucking suits kill you during hot weather! The CSA (ChemieSchutzAnzug meaning chemical protection suit) is a plastic bag that cooks you in your own juice. I literally filled my boots with sweat during an exercise and all you hear when you move is the rustling of the suit. The normal ABC suit consists of a thick jacket, pants and boots. The Jacket and trousers are basically filled with activated charcoal, that makes them awesome during winter but you will die of heat stroke during hot weather in minutes if you cant just sit in some shade.
I fainted after 10mins of running with that shit in basic (whole nbc suit), +33 celsius and no shade anywhere (so one can just guess how much temp was directly in sun so to speak). Threw up in the f**** mask
But you assume that Kreig is using gas masks similar to ours, but they aren’t, they appear to be made out of some kind of chemically treated leather or very robust fabric
Imagine if the Death Korps went up against the Iron Warriors, or the Death Guard... The war would be so slow, the Commissars would think they were having Sanguinalla Armistices, and probably get BLAMed for heresy, for that thought alone.

Each Death Korps soldier is fully trained to the standards expected for combat-readiness set down by the Departmento Munitorum, with particular emphasis placed on hazardous-environment survival and endurance, and physical and mental resilience. Proficient in the use of all basic Imperial Guard weaponry types as well as the use of grenades and explosives, a Death Korps soldier is also proficient in rapid and skilled construction of trench works and defences. They are also exemplary hand-to-hand combatants, with bayonet-drill being practiced from childhood. Accuracy is secondary in Death Korps weapons training to fire discipline, with the ability to maintain continuous fire en masse as part of an infantry formation considered to be of paramount importance. Death Korps Guardsmen have a tendency to be highly insular, unemotional and often taciturn to the point of silence outside of their duties. They also display a high degree of fatalism and an unusual morbidity of habit, such as carrying relics, ossuaries of bone or other memento-mori about their persons as a form of religious observance to honour those who have fallen in the service of the God-Emperor. Spiked helmets are famously worn by the troops of the Death Korps of Krieg; however this is in truth rarely the case in the field, but many Krieg troops maintain the tradition either with improvised spikes or, less commonly, older patterns of the spiked helmet that have survived and been passed down through families (ie they still have family blood lines) The minds and characters of the young prospective Guardsmen are purposefully broken and remade stronger, just as their bodies are trained to withstand hardship and endure suffering that would kill other men -- a task already begun by the mere fact of living a life on blighted Krieg.
Munitorum Officer 1: ok, so after the new information on the re-entry of Krieg to the imperium (and the... unique properties displayed), we have created a new designation for planets specifically devoted to delivering IG regiments to us fully trained and geared... What should we call it? MO2: a War Planet. MO1: wouldn’t that affect their morale? MO2: you do realize they voluntarily chose to be called the DEATH KORPS of Krieg. MO1: alright! MO2: oh also remember to send more Commissars. MO1: but... we just sent a new bunch. MO2: yeah but they keep getting Blammed by their men when they try to declare a tactical retreat. MO1: I feel like this is planet is fucked up even by OUR standards.
I don't think you have to worry about Krieg Space marines anymore than you need to worry about Catachan Space marines. However, you can't be too careful...I can only imagine the joy of seeing a legion of Krieg Space Marines.

@@cnlbenmc You could be right about this. im really not sure. On one hand chaos space marines often have access to old legion gear that is as good if not better than modern standard Astartes gear. He could be useing a beautifully crafted chainsword with a power cell that can last a entire month before needing to be replaced.
On the other hand many chaos bands have been wandering without any real form of resupply for thousands of years. Its totally possible that a war band has has most of its legion gear break down over the years. with most lower ranking marines having to make due with whatever they could scavenge from dead loyalists.
TLDR The Thing about chaos is that even chaos war gear is well...chaotic and unpredictable.
You'd think Krieg would be given priority for bionic replacements, as while replacements are a dime a dozen, if you can keep a dude who lost his legs in action, then you'll now have 11 Krieg guardsmen, instead of the 10 who were already ready to replace the one lost. It may not sound like much but the numbers would add up quickly.
I don't see any reason to not keep as many of these adamantium-balled bastards combat capable as possibly by any means necessary.
My point is, Death Korps of Krieg + a detachment of Mechanicus with some knowledge in the makings of bionics = Many many soiled traitor undergarments
Changing that culture would be hard. Mayne attach a sororitas chapter to them as medics, so that the men of Krieg will know that the Emperor wants the broken among them to continue to serve?

During World War 1, when British and French medics treating injuries from trench fighting noticed some alarmingly large wounds. These gashes seemed to be made with a large blade such as an axe. One doctor asked a front line officer if they had recovered any battle axes from German troops. They hadn't. It turns out that the Imperial German soldiers had taken to sharpening their entrenched tools, the folding shovels, and using them as melee sidearms. This practice was quickly adopted by other armies. Today, there is an entire fighting style centered around the weapon. It would not surprise me to learn that Krieg guardsmen re-invented this martial art.

33:00 I would find it hilarious to see a krieg soldier be introduced to a "luxury good". I can see a krieg soldier looking a rubber ducky and saying "Is this a weapon?"

Krieg guardsman to other imperial guardsmen(attempting to heighten their loyalty to the emperor): IF YOU’RE NOT DYING YOU’RE NOT TRYING
I like to think that the clerk who told his boss krieg had 20 regiments ready to go had a very good day. hell he may of even rewarded with a small cupcake.docked from his pay of course but still a cupcake.
I can only imagine that response.
"Minister, the Vox Relay from Krieg has been delivered, it is a reply to the tithe levied on them."
"What does it say, scribe? Are they incapable of releasing one regiment?"
"We have recruited, trained, equipped, and are willing to provide 20 regiments.."
"............................."
"... And we wish to be sent to the most hostile battle zones."
"............................."
"Minister?"
".............................. Get those men to me. NOW."

I really enjoyed this episode. The art was great and the music in

Well done, this is fantastic and was worth all the wait.

Warrior Crab I'm thinking around the level of aggression where he would charge a chaos space marine, get cut in half, then proceed to try and strangle that same chaos space marine with his (the guardsmans) own hanging intestines whether the gurdsman succeeds is up in the air but that's probably the level of aggression required on average by my guess.

If a Krieg guardsman gets shot in the head or only to realize he's a perpetual
Is it a living nightmare or a happy ending
One way of looking at it he failed to die for the emperor
The other way to look at it he can die for the emperor for the rest of Eternity
Yes
I think that would take the glory of death away if he could just come back and do it again.
“Hey, I can keep killing the heretics!”
“I’ve sacrificed 6 lives this month for the Emperor, I think I deserve a second pudding cup… I’m so bad”
In life war, in death peace.
In life shame, in death Atonement.
He'll go in restless, ashamed, but with the perpetual motion toward removing the xenos from all over the imperium.
I'd say that's a win.

Modern Gas masks are pretty comfortable in my opinion.
We have to wear them a lot in my unit since we are specialised to fight biological threats (also chemical to some degree), the longest period I had to wear one without break was 33 hours during the summer.
You can breath well with the actual combat filters (training filters are worse they also last only 50h compared to combat filters +500h) and you can drink safely at any time using your specialised canteen.
BUT: The fucking suits kill you during hot weather! The CSA (ChemieSchutzAnzug meaning chemical protection suit) is a plastic bag that cooks you in your own juice. I literally filled my boots with sweat during an exercise and all you hear when you move is the rustling of the suit.
The normal ABC suit consists of a thick jacket, pants and boots. The Jacket and trousers are basically filled with activated charcoal, that makes them awesome during winter but you will die of heat stroke during hot weather in minutes if you cant just sit in some shade.
So your the poor fvcks they send in first during a zombie outbreak.
I fainted after 10mins of running with that shit in basic (whole nbc suit), +33 celsius and no shade anywhere (so one can just guess how much temp was directly in sun so to speak). Threw up in the f**** mask
But you assume that Kreig is using gas masks similar to ours, but they aren’t, they appear to be made out of some kind of chemically treated leather or very robust fabric

Imagine if the Death Korps went up against the Iron Warriors, or the Death Guard...
The war would be so slow, the Commissars would think they were having Sanguinalla Armistices, and probably get BLAMed for heresy, for that thought alone.
After making that comment, I watched the rest of the series. I feel both smart and stupid, for hitting that then-hypothetical nail so hard on the head.

Each Death Korps soldier is fully trained to the standards expected for combat-readiness set down by the Departmento Munitorum, with particular emphasis placed on hazardous-environment survival and endurance, and physical and mental resilience. Proficient in the use of all basic Imperial Guard weaponry types as well as the use of grenades and explosives, a Death Korps soldier is also proficient in rapid and skilled construction of trench works and defences. They are also exemplary hand-to-hand combatants, with bayonet-drill being practiced from childhood. Accuracy is secondary in Death Korps weapons training to fire discipline, with the ability to maintain continuous fire en masse as part of an infantry formation considered to be of paramount importance. Death Korps Guardsmen have a tendency to be highly insular, unemotional and often taciturn to the point of silence outside of their duties. They also display a high degree of fatalism and an unusual morbidity of habit, such as carrying relics, ossuaries of bone or other memento-mori about their persons as a form of religious observance to honour those who have fallen in the service of the God-Emperor.
Spiked helmets are famously worn by the troops of the Death Korps of Krieg; however this is in truth rarely the case in the field, but many Krieg troops maintain the tradition either with improvised spikes or, less commonly, older patterns of the spiked helmet that have survived and been passed down through families (ie they still have family blood lines)
The minds and characters of the young prospective Guardsmen are purposefully broken and remade stronger, just as their bodies are trained to withstand hardship and endure suffering that would kill other men -- a task already begun by the mere fact of living a life on blighted Krieg.
When your planet is literally called war
I know right
Munitorum Officer 1: ok, so after the new information on the re-entry of Krieg to the imperium (and the... unique properties displayed), we have created a new designation for planets specifically devoted to delivering IG regiments to us fully trained and geared... What should we call it?
MO2: a War Planet.
MO1: wouldn’t that affect their morale?
MO2: you do realize they voluntarily chose to be called the DEATH KORPS of Krieg.
MO1: alright!
MO2: oh also remember to send more Commissars.
MO1: but... we just sent a new bunch.
MO2: yeah but they keep getting Blammed by their men when they try to declare a tactical retreat.
MO1: I feel like this is planet is fucked up even by OUR standards.
