@BridgeTROLL777 Not necessarily clones, at least in my understanding. There's never been any confirmation on what a vitae womb actually is, weather it's cloning technology, some form of artificial insemination (test tube baby) or something else entirely. All we know is it gives us more happy gasmask wearing shovel wielding zealots than could be produced naturally.
I love the Death Korps of Krieg because they just perfectly represent what 40k is all about. That, and the fact that I‘m German so they obviously get points for representation
I prefer to think that the Death Korps enact battlefield communications the exact same way Genndy Tartovsky portrayed Clone Troopers in the animated Clone Wars shorts; using hand signals only and in complete silence.
Iron Warriors : our iron is unbreakable Death korps of Krieg, Mordian Iron Guard, and Catachan Jungle Fighters : allow us to test that theory *readies weapons*
I didn't think Catachan Jungle Fighters is suitable to fight Iron Warriors. Their expertise is fighting guerilla and ambush, how can you do that against enemies who fought in fortifications? Unless they used their cheesy plot Armor...

My favourite! Colonel Commissar Ibram Gaunt! Wielding the Sword of Sondar! For Tanith! Less Hollywood than Yarrick, but more integrity and honour than Cain. 🫡
Dan Daly is who the original quote is from. In the battle of bellauwood he fixed bayonets and told the marines under his command to "come on you sons of bitches, do you want to live forever!" Then charged, broke, and overran the German lines.
They're also one of the few armies in the entire guard to be allowed combined arms regiment. Basically airforce+army+artillery combined. It's usually banned because combined arms traitor guardsmen are terrifying, but because krieg has 0% chance of turning traitor, they're allowed whatever strategies they see fit
Great episode and a video game where you just play as a number and you can give and just assigned another number of the Regiment would be great fighting against Orks, GeneStealers, and Tyranids would give an amazing horror and Grimdark game for us fans.
Have you watched The League of Lore video on Kreig yet? Features the voices of Baldermort, Occulus Imperia, MajorKill, 40k Theories, A Border Prince, and a few other UA-camrs...
WOW, just wow - excellent story and appreciate the Death Korps history. I have read some Black Library books on the Death Korps and found them hard to put down. Have you done a Gaunt's Ghosts storyline?
Regular guardsman: *Holds a knife incorectly while opening a field ration.* Krieg guardsman: *Jumps up and grabs shovel while making angry gas mask noices.* Commisar: "Nonono! It's ok, it's fine, the emperor will judge him when he falls in battle, sit down again, there we go.. Breath.. Good soldier.." Kreig guardsmen: *Strained gas mask noices.*
In the book, the Greater Good, Ciaphas Cain met with Death Korps riders and the seargent had a name i couldn't recall.. hmm.. must be an isolated event for the Death Korp
The Death Korps are a regiment known to many within the Imperium and won many battles and wars against impossible odds, but it is their eternal shame that lets these fatalistic fanatics to find redemption within death.
Sabaton produced a song called "March of the Dead Men", and I thought it was for the Death Korps of Krieg, but nope. It was for Russians swarming the German lines during World War Two.
Close... It was the Battle of Osowiec, a Russian controlled fortress in modern day Poland during WWI. Germans launched a gas attack on the fort followed by several thousand infantry, and were repelled by only ~100 Russians literally spitting up pieces of lung and flesh. Unfortunately the Germans captured the fort soon after, within a couple of weeks, and the Russians retreated.
Ah Death Korps... The one army we should be getting with all their siege and breakthrough machines but somehow GW don't wanna make... (and I mean good models instead of forge ones)
This was perfect until 9:25 the M40 are tools and not used in such a manner by the DKOK. it's the mandela effect . or memes dripping into lore. The primary melee weapon of the DKOK is still the Bayonet.
They do not break the mind of kriegsman in training to build them up again. If their mind can be broken they are to week and need to perish. The strong will be build up even better, they are strong, they will serve the the imperum well and only that is worthy for the Emperor!
9:23 This is FALSE, and a misconception that has to stop being spread. A meme that has a historical background yes but there is not a single sentence in any Krieg lore source that states the Entrenching tool is their Favored melee weapon. The bayonet is as stated in the Siege of Vraks page 16. " All Krieg soldiers carry a 45 cm long sword-bayonet. This heavy bladed, razor sharp knife is the guardsman's ONLY close combat weapon (...) All Krieg guardsmen are highly proficient with the bayonet, so much so that some commanders have remarked that the bayonet seems to be the regiment's main weapon. " Other than this, great video and great voice !
Before Games Workshop sold out to soulless heretical corporate suits, the whole company was all about player engagement. Not just allowing, but encouraging fans of the franchise to add their own flavor to the lore. To build on the vast 40k universe. To be creative. To not just buy an army of miniatures. But to make it their own. Painting, kitbashing, writing, making heraldry, house-rules and sharing all of it. Making models out of nothing but spare sprue parts and green stuff. Inspired by the original grim-dark. That was the heart of the hobby. Once. The picture of a Kriegsman planting his shovel into the face of an ork boy. Is too good to not be true. The fandom has adopted this idea. It is a cultural meme stuck in the creative souls of countless fans. And that makes it so... Not only is it bad-ass as fuck. It is also very reasonable and practical. As you admit there are plenty of historical examples of combat shovels. It also makes every sort of sense with the existing official lore. A kriegsman that is not actively fighting on the front line, eating, or sleeping. Will most likely be digging a trench. And if you dare disturb their work. You will get a shovel to the face. That's just how it is.
I am curious. The Death Korps of Kreig seeks forgiveness for their betrayal. Why would loyalists seek retribution for a crime committed by traitors? Unless it was traitors that contacted the Imperium. Is it possible that the loyalists lost the civil war, but with no other option available to them, the traitors sought penance from the Imperium? A theory, I don't fully support, but felt needed to be uttered.
Not gonna lie, pretty low end theory if I had to be honest. The DKoK seek repentance as the traitors were from Krieg. They feel the collective guilt of having that stain on their honor.
It's mainly the memehammer group that makes them look even more suicidal than they are They want to die, yes. But they want to die giving good service to the Emperor, not charging at a titan with a shovel like a fucking moron
A fair opinion, though a tad pretentious, the whole “I dislike it because others like it”. Though I do think as well that there are many interesting regiments, all good in their own way.
@@fallenunit5189every regiment have their own identity, the death korp gets the fan's favor simply because they embody the grim dark nature of the settings. Just like the cadians are favored for their unflinching courage, defiance even in the face of certain death

Yes please that had me interested one second and on eage of my seat the next.
Stop! Shovel time!
Thank You Brother Remembrancer. One of the best Human regiments in all of the lore.
Your elucidations continue to shine the Emperors light.

I think we all love the WW1 Stoßtruppen vibe these guys have 😂
My favorite Astra Militarum group, I listen to the Krieg book when I work out.
Story of kreig never gets old , definitely the coolest of all the guardsman forces.
Sharpening E-Tool and bayonet noises intensified!!!
They are truly the embodiment of "Only in Death does Duty end"
Mark my word Remembrancer, this video will break the internet.
Everyday im shoveling
I have always been Imperial guardsmen in WH40k games. When I got introduced to Kriegsmen, I knew that I was at home **happy shovel noises**
Commissars act more like counselors to the Krieg Officer corps
Great episode and a video game where you just play as a number and you can give and just assigned another number of the Regiment would be great fighting against Orks, GeneStealers, and Tyranids would give an amazing horror and Grimdark game for us fans.
I have been hoping for this video for a LONG time! Thank you Remembrancer!!!
Jurten is an absolute mad lad.
Woooooo KRIEG baby!! The best of the best in the astra militarum! I will want to see more your the best thank you Rembrancer!!
I was wondering when you would do these badasses. I swear scariest guys outside of space marines IMO.
Already my absolute favorite lore Video! Bravo!

Not yet Brother, they shall require plenty of research to do justice.
@@TheRemembrancer Understand but hoping it is on your horizon "in the Grim Darkness of the Far Future...."
So Commissars had to switch careers from enforcers to advisors because of "their comparable lack of nihilistic zeal"
Regular guardsman: *Holds a knife incorectly while opening a field ration.*
Krieg guardsman: *Jumps up and grabs shovel while making angry gas mask noices.*
Commisar: "Nonono! It's ok, it's fine, the emperor will judge him when he falls in battle, sit down again, there we go.. Breath.. Good soldier.."
Kreig guardsmen: *Strained gas mask noices.*
only about 20 warheads left their silos, yet the entire planet was cleansed of life
those weren't simply nukes, those were at least fusion or worse
Whats the name of the song that starts playing at 6:21 ? I need this in the gym!
Time to break out the shovels and gas masks!
KLAUS, THE TRENCH, DIG IT

Kriegsman feel guilty about their worlds betrayal, Germans feel guilty about WW2, parallels are there. I like it. Favorite Guardregiment
