- Arch's series on the Death Korps of Krieg continues with a look at DKOK's personnel management polices. Obviously, they are among the most fraught in the whole Imperium, maybe in the whole Warhammer 40,000 (WHh 40k) universe.

Lucius pattern lasgun is capable of semiautomatic fire only arch made a mistake here but there are single shot lasguns in 40k known as laslocks and they are popular in regiments from feudal worlds however still very rare
Arch is a great storyteller but he gets lots of the factual bits wrong
Arch does mix up his English words and sayings a lot
@@gobknobbler3465 well he's not a native english speaker. Ive been with too many online Germans, Pols, Iclanders, Spaniards, etc for too long for his screwing up of English to get to me. I never even noticed the wrong term being used and assumed he meant semi-auto, just no burst fire, like with the Only War RP system.
@@codyraugh6599 Hey, i'm russian. And so long as i can communicate with all kinds of other people across the globe using pidgin english it's fine by me if any of us make mistakes from the standpoint of a native english speaker.
@@StevenLockey Not so much getting bits wrong, as he occassinally makes a mistake on a word. That leads to some confusion.
In the first Ciaphis Cain book, two different Valhalian regiments were nearly wiped the fuck out by the Tryanids so the Munitorium got the idea to merge the regiments together in order to keep up combat effective numbers. Even before Commisar Cain met the merged regiment he knew how bad of an idea this was and would spend the first quarter to half of the book trying to make the members of the regiment work together by any means.
The scene of the "food"fight is my favorite
Yeah merging a ceremonial parade units with crack frontline unit was a bit much not to mention one being all female the other all male. But surviving a few bloody scrapes they fit well enough later on. \
Actually, Tunnel Warfare (which was also used in the Crimean War, the Middle Ages and the Ancient Era) is called mining (and counter-mining).
So yeah, Arch is more correct here than you.
"Tunnel warfare is a general name for war being conducted in tunnels and other underground cavities. It often includes the construction of underground facilities (mining or undermining)"
"Since antiquity, sappers have used mining against a walled city, fortress, castle or other strongly held and fortified military position. Defenders have dug counter-mines to attack miners or destroy a mine threatening their fortifications."
@Dave Baton Arch was talking about using the mines to attack, however.
@Dave Baton I do not say that Arch's knowledge of military is perfect.
However mining (and counter-mining) is the general terms used for tunnel warfare, especially in the context of trench warfare (in the context of Guerilla Warfare less so, but Arch was talking about the trench warfare variant not the Viet-Cong style guerilla variant).
I could have sworn it was called sapping and was the reason trench warfare became less effective.
@@michaelleader633 it is also called sapping, hence sappers.
@@gokbay3057 Bingo. ;)
About Arch's "through tons of dirt comment" he's specifically mentioning the troops themselves. In 40k there's a hand-held device called a Seige-Auspex that can "see" in one direction up to 600 meters and can detect enemy movement/metals/etc. Of course there are the more advanced heavier bits of equipment, but 40k ECM and ECCM is so spotty and advanced that it's typically seen as best to rely generally on the Infantry held tech or just the Infantry themselves, assume the enemy have ECM but still give the more advanced tech you might have on hand a try just in case. And when i say that ECM and ECCM is spotty and advanced, the Eldar's tech is built to fool the actual person looking at the computer display so no matter what the Tactical display shows the men reading it will always think the Eldar are somewhere else, while Nids generally don't have the things being looked for, or have a innate sense for when electronic scanning is being done and will go into a psudeo death state to fool the technology....while orks will just put more stuff out there, have more boys screaming on top of their lungs into every possible radio frequency, or running around doing every possible thing to overwhelm a sensor system so you just so happen to miss the bunch of orks painted purple sneaking around the flank who would have normally set off your motion, gunpowder, and noise detectors.
You're referring to the Battle of the Crater during the Richmond-Petersburg campaign when you mentioned underground explosives in the American Civil War.
Pretty Brutal Campaign by American Civil War standarts
More than 5600 Union soldiers lost their lives in that campaign of 9 months of Trench warfare and raids.
I don't know much about Confederate casualties but i'm confident that thousands lost their lives from starvation and combat.
One interesting point is that campaigns involving mass use of trenches usually ended with much more casualties than more traditional campaigns.
You can see the precedents of the things we would see in WW1.
Just a little fun fact. The death korps lasgun, the number 98 lasgun is a reference to the German K98 used be the German army in ww2. Which is a bolt action rifle with a lot of stoping power. Similar to the cemiautomatic extremely heavy hitting n98 lasgun.
Isnt it gewehr 98 rather than version kurz? As far as I know Lucius tends to be on longer side
@@wojszach4443 possibly. It could be either really. To me the Lucius pattern is around the same length as a K98 going off of the artwork.
@@alexadamson9959 for me looks like manly conpensator contest from that war, longer rifle longer bayonet, comeback to 15th century which is miniature first war anyway
Aceess to more resourses, anyone here imagined a veteran kriegster commander, utterly touched, with tears in his eyes at the sight of *basic* *imperial* *army* *resources* ?
16:15 based directly on english history. Longbowmen would go around and shoot anybody in the heart that was dying on the battlefield after the fight was over to shorten their suffering and allow them to die less painfully than bleeding out after having your guts ripped out.
I think you mean stab. A longbow isn't really suited for aiming at your feet. Besides, what a waste of arrows that would be. ;)
@Dave Baton actually, not *that* bad a way to go out (at least, if you aren’t squeamish)
The only person in the 40k lore grouping who goes into "more" detail than Arch is Luetin. If there's a hole in the fluff Luetin will outright say there is a hole in the fluff, Arch will "fill in the space" with what ever he thinks woould fit or make someone laugh.
what about Occulus???
Arch is pretty good at telling people when he is filling in a hole in the lore. Usually he will say that something is a personal or community theory, other times he will just use old lore that has since been retconned and he will say as much.
Arch and Luetin both have a tendency to miss or ignore details, I find Arch misses less as he is more than willing to pad his videos with tangents and minor details even if the tangents tend to be why he forgets details. Luetin however is someone who described the Dark Eldar in 15 seconds when doing a beginners guide to all the major factions in 40k so that the video would be less the 23 minutes. When the lore is as deep as Warhammer having someone like Arch spend over an hour talking about specific portions of the lore and it's potential meanings, implications and theories about it is great and I prefer it over Luetin who cuts details to keep video time low,
@@JeanLucCaptain on Par with Templin Institute, however both suffer from the "trying too hard" bug.
@@SI-fz1zv Its forever a war of trying to cut it into sizable chunks that are less than 20 minutes and even Majorkill trips all over that one, though he's better than most at it. You just "can't" do the fluff justice without spending hours on it.....
@Dave Baton I apologize for my verbal shorthand. When I say "try to hard," there is a thing in the music and movie industry called "over produced" something edited and over-hashed, redone and redone and redone to where it gains an air of sterility or disconnect for me. Both suffer from that, as Occulus tries to remain relevant through multiple edits....
The issue with applying the term semi-automatic to a lasgun is that it has no internal mechanism to set.
A semi-automatic pistol requires that rounds be loaded into the weapon's magazine, then the gun must br manually cycled through the action so a round is drawn from the magazine and loaded into the chamber and the hammer is cocked. The trigger is pulled, the hammer drops, the round is fired, the recoil is used to cycle through the action again and cocking the hammer back, readying it for the next shot to be fired by the pull of the trigger once again.
In this instance, a lasgun does not have this issue, because the gun is ready to fire the moment the powerpack is loaded into the weapon, and there is no cycling action between shots; the lasgun is primed and ready to fire the moment the safety is disengaged, assuming it even has one, and will remain so for as long as the power pack supplies energy to the weapon. Therefore, describing a lasgun like the Lucius as single shot is accurate, as it has no burst fire, sustained fire, or overcharge settings. While this can be described as something akin to automatic or semi-automatic fire, it's a disservice to firearms terminology.
In short? The applicable terminology for a lasgun would be better derived from a bloody water gun than a modern firearm.
Michael Collins, an Irish Republican Army (IRA) nobody grunt in the Easter Rising Rebellion in Dublin City Ireland, in 1916. Head of Finance during the Irish War of Independence from the British Empire (1919-1920), and basically one of the top two guys in the IRA, simply by still being alive by the end of the war..ans also including his many successes in financing the IRA, including with Thomson Submachine guns introduced apparently for the first time ever into combat because WW1 ended before they could be used to arm the US military.
Also of better quality in the hands of presumably mostly Irish peasants, then the US special forces in Normandy 20 years later, because the guns had to be simplified for mass production in WW2.
My point was that Michael Collins reminds me of a Death Core of Kreig officer who was raised threw the ranks not just by success, but also by just still being alive.
DKK=Irish? Confirm DKK ginger’s? Confirmed DKK=ww1?
@@theangrygermanlad1328 I'm just saying that the man's life is simular, because of the amount of times he could have died, but didn't.
Including going into Dublin Castle, the British intelligence headquarters at the time, repeatedly, for I think meeting spies, getting documents...this is at a time when British Army torture on captured prisoners was a thing...and he was the head of the assassins that where executing these elite British secret service agents.
@@theangrygermanlad1328 Michael Collins was not a ginger, but I am. We are quite rare here compared to the amount that people think are over here in Ireland.
Also, since death core men never remove their helmets or gas masks, who knows?
@@theangrygermanlad1328 But good point though...I just read your name. Yes, the DKK is obviously German WW1 inspired.
Did you hear about the German government's weapons shipping to help our Rebellion in 1916, and hence, hamper Britain's main source of manpower in it's army at the time...possibly per capita, but I'm not sure.
@@theangrygermanlad1328 The first World War: Revolutions, explains it in and Ireland's 1916 Easter Rising Rebellion in detail: ua-cam.com/video/PAwyfgOkUdk/v-deo.html
31:25 into the above linked WW1 documentary shows the 1916 Easter Rising (Irish Rebellion ).
Watch the Arch's video on Mordian Iron Guard. These guys are even more crazy when it comes to discipline.
Good catch on a "single shot", i missed that when i was listening to the original video.
Thing is, in 40k there are single shot las weapons too, those are called laslocks. Cheap as chips, uses include hunting, and being issued to PDF regiments on particularly low-tech worlds, where the only expected opposition are local savages with little to no access to firearms of their own.
being trapped in seatbelt is easily solved with a pair of scissors
Hope the scissors are in a secure case, or else the crash is going to get a lot more interesting.
@@Yacovo there's actually things called knives, also there's a tool designed specifically to cut seatbelts in a easy quick swipe.
That assuming you have scissors or other sharp tools to cut yourself free.
Love your channel love the guard The iron guard is a regiment and arch dose it well and major kill has a new “lion” show up big love bro 😎
One messup you made is that select fire is not actually burst fire select fire simply means you have different firing modes so for example select fire would be semi auto and full auto where you can switch between those modes or semi auto or burst
Thanks for the video, though sometimes its worth remembering that Arch is Norwegian and his English terminologies aren't exactly the most accurate. Or at least that's the excuse given so you drive yourself crazy.
He often mistakes "atmosphere" and "gravity" when talking about spaceships.
U should react to mikefireburns video called anger manegment when his friend zach tell's him how he ended up in anger manegment while in The army its super funny
I think that would be his other channel but it would be a good one
Most tyranids are about as tough as your average human, only the big nids are as tough as AFVs
Like I said. Siege of vraks is quite long. But you can check Arch's War for Armaghedon series.
The War of Badab series is more interstellar instead of planetary, but it is also a good watch.
I think he should redo Armageddon because as it is it's almost better than these other ones but the videos need to be redone and it would stand out as a master piece.
It is not as interesting from a military standpoint.
"aww that's cute" - Nurgle worshiper in response to the death corp uniform.
"we do social distancing aswell!" - deathkorps artillery team
@@Darknessblade4me Pearls Jam do the evolution starts playing.
well... actually Death kKorps are actually pretty well equiped to fight against nurgle worshipper, yes there are some nurgle sourced bio weapons that would break htrough DK equipment but, not every nurgle woshipper has entire list of nurgle's ..... gifts on him.
31:50 how dare you put Man under xeno, Paul!?
really love all the info you give that relates to the warcraft universe. You seem like a really smart guy that i enjoy learning about real world stuff from.
This was cool. Particularly from a real military perspective. God bless you man. Well done.
The only reaction channel where I'm likely to learn something new every day. Quality reaction as always.
Problematic Promotion Policies....... oh god i actually laughed for like 5 minutes straight after i saw that...
I can't wait to see what u will think of mordian iron guard.....
For you to see how the death corp is insane: later on the series, they'll be fighting khornate bersearkers, wich i think you should watch a video about to get an idea of what you are really dealing with here, they are fighting those by.... *charging* *at* *them* , 90% casualty rate? Guaranteed death before reaching the enemy, and loss of a whole squad or even platoon, is a common ocurrance to the kriegsman.
35:58 Don't dispair. Arch is Norwegian and the norwegian people lost their right to _"bear arm"_ long ago. He simply dosen't know.
Norway has mandatory military service my dude
@@powerflumi There are ways to get around that, boi
@@Cainite that still means more norwegians per capita are trained than americans my son.
Besides that of course, both you and Paul are almost willfully missing the point of the Norwegian dude said.
Paul just did an aktuhulally correcting a mere technicality.
Also the you guys are also about to lose that right if the current trend is to be noticed.
Infact many of your states already have stricter gun laws than most european nations even
@@powerflumi I like to have your _"problems"_ - live would be so much easier.
@@Cainite that doesnt even make sense amerikanski boy
Happy days, love seeing arch stuff. He's so..colorful. his attempts at being verbose is also very cute.
You should check out the all guardsmen party
Amazing as always, love your perspective.
26:00 The plan and training was to charge the sides next to the crater and turn those new flanks. However, when Burnside heard that a fresh Negro unit was the one set (and trained) to do it, he swapped them out for veteran whites -- who didn't have time to train for the unique tactics.
The Imperium's resources may be virtually infinite, but they are not distributed evenly, and if it would cost a king's ransom to have a single Guardsman survive a crippling injury and become combat effective once again, then the Imperium will generally use that king's ransom to outfit a new regiment instead, because why invest in keeping one soldier alive when you can equip a thousand grunts? Granted, some individuals like Colonel Straken of the Catachan Jungle Fighters' 2nd Regiment do receive life-saving surgeries and augments that leave them two bolts shy of being a Tech Priest, but they have actually managed to do something impressive enough to warrant keeping them alive.
Then again, the Catachan Jungle Fighters are like an army of Rambos, so...
Tyranids aren't known for their mining operations, generally, but if you try to tunnel toward a Tyranid hive, you might bump into somebody way better at this than you.
This would be a supremely bad time to find out that they brought a Ravener, or Emperor forbid, a Trygon. Both of these are sneaky subterranean snake-critters with too many sharp bits and a disturbing lack of respect for lasgun fire.
Tunneling with tyranids haha No!
It's interesting that this piece of information about the Krieg only having a serial code and a number is here, because later on Arch goes on to refer to a particular officer of the DKOK by name.
They are given their serial number when they join the DK, they have normal names to.
Kriegers See themselves like ammunition they have little value but still some value to be spent not wasted
Maybe the krieg use shoulder armor rather then the chest as they are usually prone or crouched in a trench or foxhole or horizontal digging tunnels. the shoulder armor then would be kind of useful, along with the helmet.
it makes sense that a kriegsman would prioritize their shoulders. if they get hit center mass, they die, big whoop. if they lose an arm and live, that's downright shameful.
Comment for the machine god!
38:10 Good point about a "rifle" needing to have rifling. This is the gripe I have with the Tau "rail rifle" that is visibly, obviously not rifled
I mean... It could arrange the magnets to put a spin on the slug as it fires, to aid in stabilization? Maybe? That is kind of a misnomer now you mention it...
Just here to say keep it up your pretty much the only UA-camr who does reactions right. Giving good commentary
Tunel warfare against the tyranids is prety much suicide.
Thers no force in the galaxy better equip for undergrownd warfare than the nyds.
Radio dosnt work well undergrownd but tyranid synapse does. So they have superior cordination and movility while you need to rely on a landline for coms.
They allso have specialized bioforms that borrow undergrownd.
Imagine a groop of deathcore engeniers making a tunel then sudenly get surrownded by a pack of ravaners who imediatly start killing those highly specialized troops.
Or a bigger beast like a mawlock or a trygon apear from under them, kills a bunch of kriegsman, retreats undergrownd and then you realize that righ behind it comes a swarm of gaunts warriors or genestealers who are gonna eat your troops alive.
Eaven if you have sismic sencitive equipment and know they are coming, they can dig really really fast and your tunel will be destroyed or used against you.
mines cud work well against them in that situation but all the time efort and equipment invested in making the tunel will be wasted.
'theres no force in the galaxy better equip for underground warfare than the nids'
->firstly there is the 'crons which also have specialised forms for tunnel warfare, and they are alot tougher than the 'nids.
->secondly the imperial guard and specifically the deathkorps use ground penatrating sensors, so no ravaners supriseing engineers here. the kriegers outfought the nercons in tunnel warfare in orpheus war. i think they can fight off the much easier to kill tyranids too, atleast some of the time.
also note that krieg can also dig really fast, with their hades drills and other special equipment. they have mole launchers which are literally mineing missiles, that mine their way through solid rock at super sonic speeds. the ravaners and mawlocks and tygons will be detected and shot up by mole missiles long before they can sneak up on the kriegers, realistically. meanwhile smaller bioforms will fall prey to the melta and flamer ambushes which proved very effective against necron scarabs. the 'nids would need sheer overwhelming force to get anywhere near a properly set up krieg tunnel.
as for coms, you know you can bounce the signal off other emiters right? and the deathkorps has no issue with communication. in one of the short stories as part of vraks we had a engineer watchmast raid tunnels behind enemy lines and use his vox to communicate with other tunnels during the operation. maybe our radios don't work but the imperium doesn't use our radios...
simpley put you are severely under estimateing the korps here. now that is not to say the tyranids couldn't win, nor that it is nessisarily deceively in favour of the guard. but they certainly have weapons to counter all the 'nid tricks and thus the korps most certainly could outfight the 'nids in atleast some tunnel battles.
Hades breaching drill spools up....
yes I concede that the Käfers have that one down.
@@matthiuskoenig3378 mear suposition but thers a lot of factors that are unacounted
1.- how many nyds are there? a full hive fleet? a splinter fleet? some stranded force that stayed on the planet?
2.- how many kriegsman are there?
3.- what kind of equipment do they have?
counter mining operations can and have been used against the deathcore in the past siege of vraks being a good example,
in vraks the renegate militia had inferior digging equipment and they manage to counter krieg digging operation reasonably well.
Tyranids are much more adapted to undergrownd warfare than the vraks defenders.
if vox comunication works thats good an all but not nearly as effective as tyranid synapse, not eaven close.
I think you are overestimated the mawl launcher supersonic speeds digging trough solid rock? com one
and eaven if they cud really be that fast (wich i really doubdt) they are allso highly spezialiced and limited equipment a ravaner swarm can number anything from a pack of 3 fo a millions on a single asault.
yea krieg can probably detect an undergrownd force aproaching but can they stop them before they arrive? thats another story.
but the most important thing is. why woud you use undergrownd warfare against the tyranids?
it is used against fortified and entrench positions tyranids rarelly use them.
why hit the enemy where they are likely stronger than you?
a fortify trench system and heavely defended srtong points are a much better tactic against nyds and the kriegsman excell at that type of warfare to.
I just dont see the point of spending needed resurces in an undergrownd battle against the nyds.
@@vHindenburg what woud they eaven use it for against the nyds?
Your understanding and exsperience would be a great match with arch's loremaster knowledge. You should team up
Arch's literacy is questionable compared to Paul, he mispronounced a lot of words whereas I am.not sure Paul has stumbled with pronunciation yet.
@@sincenobodyasked3123 Well that is true an another good reason. Arch is norwegian so it isn't his first language. And Arch was actually correct in calling them Mines.
while im not sure about the wider imperium
the siege specialized space marine chapter and legion, the imperial fists and the iron warriors both also have seismic scanners and a whole lot of other ways to detect enemy tunneling
the problem with them is that in 40k, they dont stop the artillery just because you have men digging tunnels that can collapse from the slightest tremor
so that messes with those scanners a little
39:08 this is the weapon that kills marines on breakfast and warbosses for dinner. Think of it as hand held .50 rifle that runs on laser, it's stats are ridiculous, one or two hits take down marine according to official rulebooks
According to the tabletop yes. However if you play Only War, Dark Heresy, Deathwatch or Rouge Trader its not even close to putting a Astartes down even with 2 shots at full power. In lore if you read Vraks they hit Chaos Astartes with a dozen shots at some points and they don't go down. However yes a standard Greenskin, Tyranid like a Termaguant, Tau Fire Warrior, Kroot, Aldari, Drukari, and such will go down in a shot depending where you hit them. However Astartes, Tyranids Warriors and higher, Demons, Necrons, and other things will take alot more and most likely are fast enough to avoid being hit more then once and have better weapons then you.
Not in lore. Unless you get a few extremely lucky shots which is ridicolously unlikely.
@@AbyssWatcher745 this is if you roll 10, if your rolls are in range of 5 then from 2 you extend it to 4 hits
@@eichler721 in lore you look for tsbletop because it is core of warhammer. Books are blockbuster movies, tabletop and rpg are go pro fotage. I did calculation. Maximal damage output of m36 without overchatge packs is d10 plus 5 pen 2 against marine armor 8 toughnes 4 hp 20 which means 3-4 good hits without fury.
On the other hand lucius starts with base of plus 7 or 8
In lore marine is not so immortal, it is tough but quite killable, trick is to kill it before it murders you with ridiculous initiative and ballistic skills. This is beauty of warhammer, even elites arent so immortal like books tend to say, it is skill rather than armor
And then tabletop, yep killable due to how macro it gets, wound 5 save on 3. But then we still have 2 specialist weapon per squad which are better suited but out of equation since talking lasguns now which are as far from flashlight as you can get
Kriegers do get body armor it's called flak armor primary use for flak armor is to prevent damage from explosive shrapnel basically what this guy is saying is completely false death korps of Krieg do get body armor higher-ranking Kriegers get carapace armor and the Grenadier are equivalent to Tempestus Scions (storm troopers) in other imperial guards unlike them Grenadier serve with regular troops because the Death korps doesn't want elitism to form in the ranks that's what caused the Civil War on Krieg. Also high ranking members of the Death Korps of Krieg do have names like Karis Vernner the Thrice martyred.
Another nice video, though I think you got a bit too caught up in his choice of words a few times. I think he just had a poor choice in words and meant what you said. English isn’t his first language, so it could be a translation error, too.
Afaik Krieg Guardsmen also have flak vest similar to the ones other Guardsman like the cadians have. It won't save you from a lasbolt most of the time but it will deal with autogun(normal balistic guns) rounds pretty easily.
i like your informative commentary
Comments for the Emperor
You should cover a more detailed thing on the Catachans, where armor is optional.
You glossed over something. The Watchmasters, i.e. the sergeants of the Death Korps, will be the ones doing the tutoring, and since they have served as a rank-and-file Death Korps Guardsman AND survived a stint in the grenadiers, who are placed in even more dangerous positions than a standard Krieg Guardsmen, and he has done this presumably for several years so that he could be recognized as worthy of being promoted to an NCO, odds are the Watchmaster is damn good at his job, and since the Krieg educational system makes the School of Hard Knocks look like a fucking daycare, any Guardsman the Watchmaster takes under his wing is either going to become an expert soldier and a veteran in his own right, or he is going to fuck up and die.
Yes, statistical luck is an important factor, but anybody who beats the odds in the Death Korps is either so lucky he simply MUST be blessed by God-Emperor Himself, or he is the most hyper-competent motherfucker you could ever expect to meet outside of the Adeptus Astartes. Because if you have to serve on the front lines in the Death Korps for several years before you can be declared an NCO, then you require either bottomless luck or testicles of raw Adamantium.
26:00 About the battle of the crater. Afaik they had black troops specially trained for the assault after the explosion, but then decided to use white troops instead which contributed to the disaster.
Thanks for telling me what a semi auto is
25:16 that happened for ages ago, even something like Vienna, is reinforcements came hours later wall would cease to exist, 1st world war is just 16th century siege warfare turned to ridiculous scale
What about 2 year rotations. 1st year is in country with a group who's already bee. There a year. Second year, they take the lead and a new group fills the 1st year spots. That way everyone in lead has experience.
41:12 They get those for LARP-ey identification, not protection. GW has a boner for pauldrons so they put them on everything they can, which is kinda good for tabletop since you can put markings on them, being a large enough surface area.
Idk if they made a reason in universe for this, but irl this is why they have pauldrons instead of chest armor.
Now the part about a lass bolt not even registering with a chaos space marine isn't exactly true, if it hits thier armour yes but underneath that armour they are still flesh and bone, so guardsman are taught to aim for the weak spots in thier amor which is pretty much just thier joints where there is a gap in the thick plate to allow movement to at the shoulder elbows knees and necks and if they get really lucky and hit one of those spots and it does go through and hit the marines actual body it will disable whatever it hits to if they hit the neck it will kill or atleast make the marine combat ineffective and if it hits the arm or leg it'll disable that limb
It isn't true that death korps don't get armor in book down amongst the dead men they wearing under the graycote
Are you ever gonna continue this series?
The rotation system of Vietnam sounds like how bands change their leaders and how people who are leaving and joining don’t trust each other enough.
check out the movie "Beneath Hill 60", they where Mining, Mining for the perfect place to put the Boom!
Had no idea that rotations were so horribly done in ww2 lol. Btw why don’t they overlap at all? So if you got a 12 month tour then the first three months are sort of “under” the group already there, then 6 months doing your thing, and then the last 3 months is you showing the new rotation the situation at hand and how it’s currently being approached.
Also for that 3 in 10 surviving chance for being the watch master’s student, it makes sense since you are usually going to be next to the watch master and therefore in a slightly better spot since the watch master is trying to coordinate everything. This plus you don’t have any gear that makes you stand out like an officer might have on them. As for why train a dead man walking? Well it’s a dead man walking that is training the dead man walking so what’s the harm. They aren’t really expending any resources for the training.
10:20 that is also true for german forces
model 98 lasgun ... no resemblance to the k98 rifle of old times, no xD xD
the german "PK" consists of the date of birth in 8 figures, the first letter of the last name and a 5 figure number that is computer generated in case the first part comes up multiple times
Love this 😁
Lol love how everyone just freaks out when someone gets their terminology wrong, or miss speaks.
8:01 rip
Here is a Death Korps audiobook that is only 52 mins about final stages of Kriegsman training.
The mindset of these guys is the real weapon here. Imagine if the shame of cowardice was placed on your family's shoulders before you were born, then someone offers to train you to redeem your family name. They train you in war, they pump you full of steroids, electrolites, diazepam, hand you armor and weapons: then say "Make it happen,".
You're angry, it's a fine edged weapon, tool, keeps you warm at night. You want success and redemption so bad you can taste it on your tongue. Sure, the other guys died in the last charge, but you are trained not to fear death, why, because a win starts with you. Grabbing your rifle and fastening your bayonet you think of the words the first hardass in your life said to you. "If you prepare to win you'll die a fool, but if you prepared for death you've found the path to your victory,". The whistle blows and you're all about it, charging out of the smell of stale piss, fresh puke and blood, muscle and sinew lashed so tightly over bone that all you want to do is lash out.
Logistics are nice, but in utter chaos, being unpredictable is being immune to statistics. That's how it plays out for these guys. ;)
I would love to see you play valkyria chronicles 4 on a stream
sadly the pic of teh quatermaster is retoshaded :( whats so hard on a bit guts hanging out of an "corpes wounden man "
Yeah when I think single shot I always mean a single shot then swap cartridges semi auto isn’t single shot thank you
I believe in the lore it says it's a single shot las gun. But games workshop is always bad at explaining things they use wrong terms.
you should check dark angels by occulas
"Why would you invest anything in a walking corpse?" I'm pretty sure the same could be said of you considering you said you were an MP in thus a "non-combat role" even though you have had experience in war-zones like Afghanistan as you mentioned leading a platoon. One thing to remember about the Krieg attempting to impart experience is the solid German belief (even to this day in certain civilian sectors) of apprenticeship to either rapidly acclimatize the individual to the conditions at hand or to enhance his combat potential by removing the dumb crap that gets soldiers killed...even if its required by the top brass. Basically the idea of investing anything into soldiers is largely to get more out of them otherwise the US military would be like the slave fighters we fight against armed with only a shirt and a rifle.
The Krieg are overwhelmingly focused on being suicidal in the name of the emperor, but are primed into being specifically murder-suicidal...kill as many as you can before you go. So if the quartermaster believes that giving you flak armor will make you kill 3 more enemies before you die and applies it industrially to entire regiments then he will do so. Also since its the Imperium most roles in their society (unless giving miracle like interventions or massive risk taking) is basically to the death. You are a worker till death, you are a noble till death, and you are a soldier serving till you die of either combat or old age. That and remember that their are literally trillions of humans to replace you in the meat grinder so the chance the Imperium actually cares how well your performance is compared to the professional dynamism of Western Republics is even lower than a Kriegman's survival statistics...certain planets notwithstanding of course.
Watch Luetin Tyranids First Contact. it very interresting and entertaining!
The Death Korps of Krieg: redefining "survival of the fittest" since 39,433 AD.
Death Korps of Kreig treat soldiers like Amazon treats employees.
You should react to the tallarn dessert raiders by italian spartacus
I did actually miss the fact he used "Single-shot" and not "Semi-automatic".
since a lasgun is most simmilar to a water gun IRL, i would state that single shot would be correct, due to it not having "mechanical modes" in how fiering works
@@gampie13 That is actually a fair point.
damn paul...
Hey Pal could you do a reaction to “Star wars battle of point rain”?
Love it
I can help but to notice that you severely underestimate the lasgun, Paul. Alone, they aren't the strongest of weapons, but grouped they are a force to be reckoned with. The hellgun even more so. Those weapons have enough power to punch through heavy armor, including space marine armor. Don't underestimate the lasgun >=)
Or you could just keep your troops there until their enlistments are up.
He didn't say it increase their survival by 50%, he said maybe by 10% three out of 10
Going to 3 from 2 is a 50% increase. I have 2 melons. Getting a third is a 50% increase. Listen to the college man.
The problem with that is the scale started as 0 to 10 context matters if there was no scale there then yeah you would be completely correct although in the end it's just probably go for something that doesn't really matter lol
Judging by the videos of US training Afghans, the biggest issue was probably finding CAPABLE recruits.
It looked like i imagine Imperium training Ogryns.
Paul, Arch is Norwegian, most Europeans do not know the difference between single shot and semi-auto.
I´m European as well and know how little gun knowledge the average person here has. Luckily i watch Paul Harrell.
During ww1 some smart ass decided that it would be a fabulous idea to create a stupid idea called the pals battalions where you and your closet friends and community will be rounded up and sent into the same units or battalions, and whilst this worked in theory as well as on paper however since being near of next to your friends would ensure competition as well as increased bonds but unfortunately when you consider trench warfare, entire villages of young men and boys would simply be as arch pits it
WIPED THE FUCK OUT, and when you’re the last of your entire village how would that make you feel
The Cult of Sacrifice is less of a an actual religious cult and more of a nihilistic philosophy that has developed on Krieg; virtually all of the Imperium values sacrificing themselves in the name of the Emperor, but on Krieg, your life means absolutely nothing and carries no intrinsic value whatsoever. Your value as an individual is determined by how much you are willing and able to sacrifice, and if the only thing you can manage is to take a lasgun blast to the head, jumping on a grenade, or leaving your corpse draped over a piece of barbed wire, then at least you were worth SOMETHING, you have committed the ultimate sacrifice of offering your life in the name of the Emperor and the Imperium, and you will no longer be a burden to the rest of society.
The problem is that most Kriegers are fanatics who ONLY think about making the ultimate sacrifice instead of making their lives count for as much as humanly possible. In short? Any Death Korps Guardsman who dies in his first deployment because he was too eager to get shot is a rookie and an amateur, and he will die as such and remain so forevermore.
claiming the imperium has infinite resources isnt really an accurate statement
yes it has massive amounts, nearly infinite
but it also has equally or more need
so it does pay of to use those resources sparingly
Hi
I'm glad you didn't edit it out. We need to point out that 8t was the nazis who did it. ;)
Also, I recommand you to check the Mordian Iron Guard video afterwards. There is _quite_ a lot of parrallels between Mordia and Vraks.
OK, this does it. These new missiles travel 300 miles. The Kremlin is 500 miles away. Ukranian planes can fly to within 250 miles of Moscow and launch. They might catch Putine wit his pants down. Vaporize Moscow.
shame you used arch's video.
Edit: Looks like i stirred up a hornets nest XD
I must warn you that arch is involved in extremist right wing politics. You can do your own resurge and form your own opinion, but i whanted to warn you.
I woudnt whant to be asociated with him
Sry 4 typos
Nobody's going to believe this when the only evidence is a collection of out-of-context Discord screenshots that may or may not have been edited by the left-wing extremists who spread them.
@@Morrigi192 i love that you originaly wrote "communists" XD
So is CIA, FBI, Santa Claus.....i wanted to warn you
Define 'extremist right wing' for me please. Everyone slinging that accusation that I've asked to define it has just thrown a tantrum and called me names but not answered the question...
Makes me think that they don't know what it means either.
Name one major attack from far right extremists in the past 30 years and provide proof not debunked screen shots that where tampered with and have been proven false. I can name a dozen from the far left in the USA alone in the past 2 years that caused dozens of deaths and hundreds of injuries. Throwing accusations around without proof is a tactic of the weak and pathetic.
