It would be cool to see some young guy on krieg work his way up through basic training through the ranks until he makes commissar then dies like a true krieg guards man should
@@kriegdeathrider7805 Either the story is like your describe(something that _rarely_ happen to regular Kriegsman) or he just died in the second episode like the usual kriegsman.
I love how the Commisar shows no caution in the trench, head not hunched, no reactions tonl the explosions, clearly seasoned. He knows his job is easy as no one in his unit would even think of retreating, and he will only have to work hard to get into the action before the kriegsmen kill all the enemy themselves. The only soldiers as fearless as a Commisar.
In fact he has to do the opposite, because even a Commissar knows a dead guardsman is no use unless as an example. The Kriegs are so willing to die that the Commissar has to make sure they aren't so suicidally wasteful with their lives.

Honestly this is probably the most on point portrayal of the Death Korps, like it's not the meme-y "Haha me gonna suicide" territory that they're usually subjected to
They are not afraid of death but not stupid about it. They are willing To do things most regiments would think twice about but do them without hesitation. But they also understand blindly charging into shit is stupid and that if they do not plan things accordingly and make sure every body is used for a reason
Well it is the suicidal meme bit, but on a more strategic level, considering that the Regimental Commander learned his flank was folding with comms cut and his response was a frontal assault. It’s a recipe for encirclement eg The Lost Battalion in WW1. However, it’s very much lore accurate.
@@6thsavagebro trench warfare is like this. Long bombardment, then over the top. Them going over the top is not a reference to one battle it is to a whole war
Seeing the heretic soldier check in on his companion when they tripped over fleeing the Kriegsman was a fun detail, because it reflected a degree of compassion which our protagonists do not have.
I mean the Cultist was fucked the moment he broke the Lazrifle. That way he at least had A chance. Anyone going up against a Kriegsman, who has his Shovel out, in melee is as doomed as the Eldar Race!
Love the design of these guys, the gaz mask is british, the clothes are french, the helmet and the name (krieg = war) are german, really a concentrate of ww1.
@@lp.shakur The longcoat & trousers bears a striking resemblance to French WW1 uniforms. The helmet top shares a profile with the French Adrian helmet while the bottom part is clearly inspired by the German Stalhelm. The iconic gas mask is extremely similar to the British SBR Gas Mask used during the war. The bayonet is modeled after the American M1917 Bayonet. The Lasgun Model 98 is named after the German Gewehr 98 The breastplate worn by Krieg Officers and Death Riders is inspired by the French Cuirassier breastplate. It could be argued that Krieg is more French than German with the prior points stated. It doesn't stop there as even the way Krieg fights can be likened to French military doctrines. Krieg and France fight with attrition with similar cases being noted with Vraks and Verdun respectively. Krieg and Germany however don't share the same doctrines as Germany in our world simply can't monumental losses, instead opting for quick and decisive strikes such as the Schlieffen Plan and Kaiserschlacht Offensive
Just wanna point out how well executed the sequence at 4:10 is. Like, that's some textbook trench clearing. Throw a grenade, wait for detonation and immediately open fire. Don't wait for a target since if anyone survived that blast they aren't gonna give you a chance to take careful aim. Kinda small detail done really well
Everyone's talking about the sound effects, I love the little details: the trigger discipline, the proper tactics on both sides, and the easiest to miss; at around 4:26, while the traitor guardsman is emerging, he threw his rifle over his cover in the opposite direction that he emerged from as a distraction. And it WORKED. The Krieger's rifle barrel flinched towards the gun momentarily, which bought the traitor the seconds he needed to close.
exactly ! this whole video was so awesome with the little details in mind,the bayonet combat with the parry,turn and pull,the full auto to single shot switch before and then this distraction one aswell...
I didn't notice that. It made him miss because his aim was off by JUST that much cuz of the distraction. I love those "blink and you'll miss it" details that a lotta stuff has
My favorite thing about this is the small details you put into it, but most notably the sound of the las gun fire. That is probably the closest thing to what an actual laser would sound like, imo. Not the classic "pew pew" we all know but something more grounded. Well done.
I like to think the bang is the sound of the air in front of the barrel rapidly heating from the laser bolt, leaving a near-vacuum, that's then instantly clapped shut by air pressure. Like how lightnings get their sound but on a smaller scale
correct me if im wrong but i am pretty sure all the gun sounds are from tarkov, i hear the bullet cracks , m4 , heavy machine guns and grenades from eft
“My ancestors are smiling down on me, can you say the same Imperial?” “I have my own sins to atone for infidel, and your death will mark one more made clean.”
During the wwi trench wars they also used to create something they called the "Trench needle". It's essentially just a large iron spike. Easy and cheap to make but it makes for a far more effective weapon in the cramped conditions of a trench than the bayonet. Not quite as effective as the spade but much easier to produce, carry around and less cumbersome.
@@KingQwertzlbrmpf trench needles were quickly listed as a inhumane weapon and banned from all forms of warfare because of how hard it was to treat and heal the wounds it caused
@@sethgilcrist8088 I mean, yes, but that didn't do much to actually stop the usage of them. They were just too effective in combat and when it comes down to close combat nobody really cared much about such lofty ideas like humanity. The only consideration was to not be the one to die. Other inhumane weapons like for example poison gas are tactical or even strategic weapons and as such their use is a command decision. The trench needle on the other hand is a weapon for the lowly grunt in the trench. And the ease of production meant it's use could never be really much contained.
Chaos cultists: "WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!" "NOOOOOOOO" imperial guardsman: "We're all going to die" "I know" Death korps: "We are all going to die" "Good" 👍
Krieg left to their own devices would never retreat, never surrender. They would win or kill themselves trying. Their Commissar must have ordered the retreat, spineless non Krieger.
@@GastonBoucher The Death Korps of Krieg famously do not retreat, even to their own fault. A Commissar's role in a Krieger regiment is to urge caution and pragmatism instead of wall-to-wall martyr charges so that each trooper kills the maximum number of heretics before dying gloriously for Krieg's sins.
@@nicholasthompson1387 Depends. Krieg commanders tend to be a different breed, understanding the necessities of warfare and the difference between a life sacrificed and a life wasted. A Krieg commander may well know when a line is broken, and require falling back to the next line. They are masters of siege after all. Of course it goes without saying, no Krieger will ever fall back until it is absolutely necessary.
@@GastonBoucher If I understand my lore correctly, the last time a Krieg Commissar ordered a retreat, his men brutally killed him because of cowardice.
“Guardsman, where is the rest of your squad?” “Dead, sir.” “Very well, join the lines.” “Yes sir.” This is why Death Korps is my favorite. Absolutely nothing phases them and they’re loyal to a fault.
Ah to have a Kreig commander lol. "Your entire squad is dead and you are injured?" "Yes sir, barely made it out alive sir." "Very well, get to the front you'll be the first over the top since you are familiar with them."
What I like about this video is that it presents another view on the Chaos troppers. When one of them trips his comrade checks in on him and stays behind to cover the retreat of the others. It shows a degree of compassion, duty and heroism that is rarely given to the human followers of Chaos. Usually they are these one dimensional charicatures.
@@scribblerstudios9895 no need for that, many chaos cultist are rebels that joined chaos to flip the middle finger to the Imperium and find a future free of it it hapened so much that until Guilliman's awakening, it was an everyday issue
No. This is Krieg 40K. Don't know much about the wider 40K but I would love to see any other commander tell a soldier to rejoin the line and have said soldier have 0 fucks about joining the line even tho it is most likely a death sentence.
@@proudamerican183 This is pretty common for all guardsman regiments due to the alternative being summary execution by commisar, every guardsman would usually fall in line, but the kriegsmen are the only ones who want to do it, they live and breathe to fight and die, that is their entire purpose.
@@zeth1331 Okay. So all soldiers rejoin the line but besides the Krieg with 0 f*cks to give (maybe even negative f*cks to give), the others have some f*cks to give.
@Rill I'm not even too sure the whole interaction is accurate, It should've just ended at "Very well". A Krieger would likely know exactly what to do when he's out of a squad, he joins the next line, no hesitation.
@@kickguy223 Well, it's that, or he would stand there at attention, until given orders otherwise. The Kriegsmen are among the most disciplined, within the Astra Militarum.

What I love about this is that it portrays the Guard as being a genuinely competent and well trained force. So many people frequently compare them to Astartes or Xenos and just assume that the IG are mere fodder and just bodies to add to the pile. However people forget that in the spectrum of human soldiers in the Imperium, guardsmen are actually fairly high up and surpass many layers of recruitment beyond militia and PDF etc. As a result, it is actually refreshing to show them as being capable in combat and not just as meat for slaughter. These aren't just your average press ganged mongrels or desperate voidsmen. They are a dedicated and elite combat force and its good to see such depictions of the Guard.
Yeah. Guardsmen are actually pretty competent. And unlike what the meme says they don't get swayed by chaos easily either and usually fight to the last man if necessary. And they are actually the main fighting force of the imperium. It's mostly the civilian population or pdf that falls to corruption.
Elite they are but they are canon fodder, even the Astartes afe canon fodder. That is what soldiers are especially those of the Imperium of Man. But it is also true for real life soldiers: Canon fodder.
Their massive casualties can be explained by the fact that battles happened on a much bigger scale, IRL usually we have battle for a city or village, but in W40K universe theyre fighting for entire worlds
Something I never noticed before, around 4:05, the traitor slightly readjusts his grip on his rifle. He isn't shaking or anything, but it still shows some of the stress is getting to him without making it overly dramatic.
@@Veellinn I fear cultist weaponry is forbidden to be used since it can be corrupted... Also I believe kriegers don´t scavenge (I´m not sure if the quartermasters do however) though I can be wrong. He´ll just have to talk to the munitorum for a replacement.
That's why we love our E-Tool in the army, even the Chinese love it when they saw it, they looked at US military weapons, they yawned, they look at the collapsible shovel, 'we can use it to hack men in close combat.' they were freaking fascinated by it.
"Where's the rest of your squad?" "Dead sir." Normal officer:"Take some rest and recuperate. Guard the artillery." Krieg general:"Join the front lines."
@@simplewrites it very much does. Krieg Commisars only exist to stop Kriegers from killing themselves in useless suicide charges and stop the commanders from being death seekers. Commisars for Krieg have to be humane and above all worry about losses, so your joke doesn't work at all if taken at face value.
actually did the lasguns SO RIGHT. This is the best depiction of the combat flashlights i've seen in any media, it's perfect. The beam is almost immediate, instead of the "star wars" kinda laser projectile. This reminds me of the lasguns in fallout, strong too. This is fucking rad
Other guardsmen: “I’m going to die to the most horrible and vile monsters the galaxy has.” Krieg: “So am I.” Other guardsmen: “This is awful!” Krieg: “This is the greatest day of my life!”

Another detail that I think people overlooked is the trenches: You can actually see the difference between the Krieg's trench and the Traitor's trench. While the Krieg trenches are more organized, and well fortified, the Traitor's trench looks disorganized, shamble and it is more like a crater rather than a proper trench.

Nah. The only people who outnumber the Kriegers are the Tyranids, and maybe the orks. The advantage the Krieg has is the same as the Tyranid advantage though. No fear, and while the individual is mindless, it is directed by skilled commanders.

Some ideas I've had for playing a Krieger in a game like Dark Heresy or Only War. "Only likely to die? I must have disappointed my commanding officer." "Keep your chainswords and power hammers. A Krieger needs only his faith and a shovel." "They seek to engage Krieg in trench warfare? And the Militarum says WE have a death wish." "The mask IS my face. Any Krieger will tell you the same." "Hope? I'm sorry, but what is this "hope" you speak of?" "What do you fear more? Death? Or disappointing the God-Emperor?" "Man must die for mankind to live. Nobody understands that more than a Krieger." "Dark, cramped, reeking of death, with the constant sounds of explosions. Ah...home." "Focus on the other men, chirurgeon. The God-Emperor will decide if I've done enough." "Redemption...finally..."
I really like that in the end the battle wasn't won by a psychic, the space marines, or a Godly intervention. It was simply man against man fighting for their lives. Love it!
Honestly, go for the Gaunts Ghosts books, or any of the Imperial Guard Omnibuses. Notable mentions for individual novels are 15 hous, Gunheads, and Desert Raiders. It's more often Guard grit than not in those books. Baneblade is also pretty good. If you like Catchans, read Death World by Steve Parker, and never Straken. Straken is the only 40k book I have ever regretted buying, because it makes fucking IRON HAND STRAKEN OF ALL PEOPLE look like a bitch. And if you want the dark side of 40k, find Fire Warrior.

@@Tophatism I didn't think you were referring to that. There's not really much in the way of depictions of Kriegers being anything but cold blooded killing machines. There are some memes of them but not commonly shown and more or less never depicted in video. So, I had no reason to believe you were referring to the shovel thing. Which is often less a meme and more the truth.
I don't like the krieg personally but that may be because they are meta. I just think other regiments do more while acting more human. Making their sacrifice more notable and their bravery stand out . I'm not going to debate but the likes of the cadians and the Mordian Iron guard seem better.
@@Guardsman_Greg Well ya know, that's because the Krieg do a much different job than other regiments. Their specialty lies in siege and attrition warfare, hence their love for artillery and trenches. For these sorts of situations, having cold, almost emotionless killing machines would be much better than humans who have to deal with morale. Not to mention the fact that when charging a heavily defended position they won't hesitate and get bogged down. At the same time they're also trained well enough to recognise whether they should charge the machine gun or not. Although they all want to die, having a meaningless death is also a waste. Most other regiments use maneuver warfare strategy, where you use strategic maneuvering to break enemy positions and cause great casualties in a single stroke. This involves dislocating and disrupting the enemy whether it be through strategic strikes on important targets or infiltration and surprise as well as subterfuge. The Kriegs on the other hand employ an attrition warfare strategy where they force the enemy into a conflict where in a more normal maneuver warfare scenario they would have the advantage but with them being bogged down in attrition warfare those advantages dissappear giving the Kriegsmen a chance to win against what would otherwise be a superior foe. Technically, the Cadians can also do the same as the Kriegsmen do and fight in an attrition war to great effect but unless the enemy forces are far stronger than the cadian force, a great achievement to be sure as the Cadians are some of the best warriors that humanity can produce, then leveraging their, in comparison to other regiments, better and more numerous equipment would be better done with a maneuver warfare doctrine. I'm not really sure about the Mordians other than their regiments being smaller but much more better equipped than the average IG force.
Probably didn't have a commissar model with a gas mask, on a technological view point, so in the future he'll maybe have the models. All we can do is wait for the next animation
I love how the Krieg trenches look to be proper, well made trenches with appropriate height, reinforcement, and dugouts. Meanwhile the heretic ones look like a sloppy mess that would barely protect against anything.
Man, when I voiced the second character, I was NOT expecting this to get to 2 million views in 3 months! So flattering! Well done to everyone involved and thanks again for roping me in :)
Well - being assigned as a commissar to the Death Korps is essentialy a punishment post for any commissar. Usually it falls to him to countermand the suicidical orders of the Krieg officers and impose some semblance of advanced tactics. not that Kriegers like that very much and often commissars are consumed by accidents on the battlefield...
@@HiopX The Death Korps of Kreig view the commissars normally tasked with pushing men to charge as cowards. The commissar either dies trying to lead front the front like normal, or he dies because he can't keep up.
It's rare that you see "show, don't tell" done verbally, but that was everything you need to know about Kreigsmen in one short exchange. Such a perfect exchange
I think everything you need to know about them can be determined just by watching this clip. No one is talking to each other, no one even looks when someone is shot, there’s no personal items, every one is just looking straight ahead.
I love the clean slightly electric sound of the lasguns in this. So often people overlook or over dramatize the sounds in 40k. Lasguns go pew, because laser LOL. Boltgun go Boom, because HUGE gun. These weapons are not like the weapons we are familiar with.
Lasguns fire, never run out of ammo, almost never malfunction or breakdown and can make bowling ball sized holes in people. It’s just that doesn’t really do much when you’re fighting a literal god.
The teaser for the Regicide had the most accurate representation of bolter firing as far as fire rate and recoil goes. It's common to go boom cause "automatic RPGs" but it should be closer to a large caliber chain gun.
@@gustavakerman5419 Bolt shells are propelled by a small amount of compressed water (yes, water is incompressible), that pushes the projectile (the bolt) just out of the gun before the rocket nozzle kicks in, providing most of the motive force of the weapon. If you are meaning the explosive payload? Well I have more bad news, From the official cross-sectional renders of bolt rounds we can calculate the amount of explosive filler comes to less than a gram of hi-explosive. Meaning that when a bolt detonates on your target you will get a small sharp crack like a primer. Sorry, no earth shattering Ka-Boom, no explosion of gore, just a small sound, and a less than one millimetre (1/25th of an inch) hole though your opponents armour.
I will sum it up for u battle is fought for ten trillion or more men that tanks are more valuable than soldiers and the reason why infantry first then the heavy tanks also swords and spears are not obsolete coz shotguns will lose against people with swords or most preferably chain swords and naval combat is not modern they use broad sides cannons than long rang naval artillery and they like ramming with expensive ass ships to the enemy Faction summary : Humans are like the European coz if your not human ur dead if u don't believe the holy emperors words ur dead and if u question the words of the emperor ur dead Orks loves fighting even love fighting their own kind and build powerful machines and weapons from scrap and held together and powered by their imagination and belief if they belive a ork live even tho u stab its heart it will still live and forget to die Eldar basically elves that is closet to extinction Dark eldar basically elves that like sex and very horny Tau are the stereo typical sci fi faction that loves long rang and punch like a pussy Chaos basically 4 satans Tyranids huge hungry bugs that look like xenomorphs from alien Necrons robot space Egyptians with the best technology

I love how the Commisar shows no caution in the trench, head not hunched, no reactions tonl the explosions, clearly seasoned. He knows his job is easy as no one in his unit would even think of retreating, and he will only have to work hard to get into the action before the kriegsmen kill all the enemy themselves. The only soldiers as fearless as a Commisar.
the only division where the Commissars job is to prevent them from dying gloriously too early.
In fact he has to do the opposite, because even a Commissar knows a dead guardsman is no use unless as an example.
The Kriegs are so willing to die that the Commissar has to make sure they aren't so suicidally wasteful with their lives.
Considering he has a power sword, this campaign is probably vacation for him

So fucking stoic dude.
Everyone's talking about the sound effects, I love the little details: the trigger discipline, the proper tactics on both sides, and the easiest to miss; at around 4:26, while the traitor guardsman is emerging, he threw his rifle over his cover in the opposite direction that he emerged from as a distraction. And it WORKED. The Krieger's rifle barrel flinched towards the gun momentarily, which bought the traitor the seconds he needed to close.
Wow, didn't even notice that at all. Good eye!
exactly ! this whole video was so awesome with the little details in mind,the bayonet combat with the parry,turn and pull,the full auto to single shot switch before and then this distraction one aswell...
I didn't notice that. It made him miss because his aim was off by JUST that much cuz of the distraction. I love those "blink and you'll miss it" details that a lotta stuff has
I'm not sure world war I style trench warfare could be considered proper tactics. The barrel flinch is really cool though!
@@Freekymoho why would you think that ?
My favorite thing about this is the small details you put into it, but most notably the sound of the las gun fire. That is probably the closest thing to what an actual laser would sound like, imo. Not the classic "pew pew" we all know but something more grounded. Well done.
I like to think the bang is the sound of the air in front of the barrel rapidly heating from the laser bolt, leaving a near-vacuum, that's then instantly clapped shut by air pressure. Like how lightnings get their sound but on a smaller scale
Its sounds like a fuse popping so violently you could mistake it for a large caliber rifle.
i think it kinda sounds like a gauss rifle

They actually used the entrenching tool as a weapon at the battle of Stalingrad in ww2. Great scene.
They also used anything and everything that could be sharpened or swung hard enough in ww1 for trench fighting
During the wwi trench wars they also used to create something they called the "Trench needle". It's essentially just a large iron spike. Easy and cheap to make but it makes for a far more effective weapon in the cramped conditions of a trench than the bayonet. Not quite as effective as the spade but much easier to produce, carry around and less cumbersome.
@@KingQwertzlbrmpf trench needles were quickly listed as a inhumane weapon and banned from all forms of warfare because of how hard it was to treat and heal the wounds it caused
@@sethgilcrist8088 I mean, yes, but that didn't do much to actually stop the usage of them. They were just too effective in combat and when it comes down to close combat nobody really cared much about such lofty ideas like humanity. The only consideration was to not be the one to die. Other inhumane weapons like for example poison gas are tactical or even strategic weapons and as such their use is a command decision. The trench needle on the other hand is a weapon for the lowly grunt in the trench. And the ease of production meant it's use could never be really much contained.

Depends. Krieg commanders tend to be a different breed, understanding the necessities of warfare and the difference between a life sacrificed and a life wasted.
A Krieg commander may well know when a line is broken, and require falling back to the next line. They are masters of siege after all. Of course it goes without saying, no Krieger will ever fall back until it is absolutely necessary.

What I love about this is that it portrays the Guard as being a genuinely competent and well trained force. So many people frequently compare them to Astartes or Xenos and just assume that the IG are mere fodder and just bodies to add to the pile.
However people forget that in the spectrum of human soldiers in the Imperium, guardsmen are actually fairly high up and surpass many layers of recruitment beyond militia and PDF etc. As a result, it is actually refreshing to show them as being capable in combat and not just as meat for slaughter. These aren't just your average press ganged mongrels or desperate voidsmen. They are a dedicated and elite combat force and its good to see such depictions of the Guard.
"Mess with the best. Die like the rest" ^_^
Yeah. Guardsmen are actually pretty competent. And unlike what the meme says they don't get swayed by chaos easily either and usually fight to the last man if necessary. And they are actually the main fighting force of the imperium. It's mostly the civilian population or pdf that falls to corruption.
Elite they are but they are canon fodder, even the Astartes afe canon fodder. That is what soldiers are especially those of the Imperium of Man.
But it is also true for real life soldiers: Canon fodder.
Their massive casualties can be explained by the fact that battles happened on a much bigger scale, IRL usually we have battle for a city or village, but in W40K universe theyre fighting for entire worlds
Krieg are portrayed more favorable than the green armored cannon fodder.

Meanwhile the kriegers get sniped and no one even flinches
I noticed that too, it really matches the lore and shows what the Kriegers faith does to them.
Tbf they are pretty much indoctrinated from birth to believe that the greatest thing they can do is die for the emperor on the field of battle it’s why they have the most deaths out of all of the guardsmen regiments
@@commanderstorm8874 and somehow the numbers to replenish those losses aswell.
@@steves578 You think that's bad? Their "training" on Krieg is exactly the same as this. Probably 1 in 3 Krieg guardsmen actually make it through the training to get to a warzone to fight and average age of your Krieg guardsman is like 15-16 years old. They're just kids behind those masks.
@@patrickturner6878 idk man but they must screw like rabbits.
Another detail that I think people overlooked is the trenches: You can actually see the difference between the Krieg's trench and the Traitor's trench.
While the Krieg trenches are more organized, and well fortified, the Traitor's trench looks disorganized, shamble and it is more like a crater rather than a proper trench.

@@thomasfoster4370 Krieg engineers do just that. And when the line goes further up, they have to do it all over again and they are happy to do it. Digging a trench without being fired at from the enemy is just boring for them, too easy.

"Those poor bastards"
Nah. The only people who outnumber the Kriegers are the Tyranids, and maybe the orks. The advantage the Krieg has is the same as the Tyranid advantage though. No fear, and while the individual is mindless, it is directed by skilled commanders.

It actually made me cheer for both sides equally.
Ikr, like that concern toward that tripping dude. Man.

@@lmperioEspañol Their uniform is actually a French ww1 trench coat, and the gas mask is ww1 British, the tactics they use are Russians in ww1 and ww2. The only German thing would be the helmet. In other words, The death korps of Kreig are the human representation of ww1.
@@alexeibolavik1072 Bro, have you hever see the german uniforms of ww1? When they started used the stahlhem? The French coat was blue, this is grey
@@lmperioEspañol that was the 1914 French design. They realised that the blue and the red colour palettes made them an easy target so they made a new one somewhere around 1915. The trench coat is called the "French Horizon blue M1915 Greatcoat" and yes the name implies that it's blue but it's grey in some images. I think only the officers wore the Colourful blue ones and the soldiers got the grey one.
from all this, what stays with me the most is the breathing at the end. Absolutely spectacular.
I love the calm breathing throughout the entire video, even when they charge the enemy gunline.
Really goes to show the unflinching zeal and determination of the Krieg in the face of Death.

This is also true in real combat.
The vast majority of wars today are not fought by what we would call "advanced weapons" so much as the AK and machettes in the hands on children.

"Since the day I joined the guard"

*very happy gasmask noises*
The animation at 3:49 is on point! The movements looked natural and had weight. I would recommend working on the actual "wound" animation, but this is really well done! I'm excited to see what you've learned and done after a year!
would have been great if the guardsmen had reported "we have taken crippling casualties, requesting permission to advance"
**Happy Gas mask noises**
Honestly though the more realistic Krieger is trying to use himself responsibly, so this arguably makes me happier. To see occasionally what the triggers are really like is actually nice.

This is amazing, it's so good to see the Death Korp being badass and not just cannon fodder for a bunch of Space Marines. Great job!
Some ideas I've had for playing a Krieger in a game like Dark Heresy or Only War.
"Only likely to die? I must have disappointed my commanding officer."
"Keep your chainswords and power hammers. A Krieger needs only his faith and a shovel."
"They seek to engage Krieg in trench warfare? And the Militarum says WE have a death wish."
"The mask IS my face. Any Krieger will tell you the same."
"Hope? I'm sorry, but what is this "hope" you speak of?"
"What do you fear more? Death? Or disappointing the God-Emperor?"
"Man must die for mankind to live. Nobody understands that more than a Krieger."
"Dark, cramped, reeking of death, with the constant sounds of explosions. Ah...home."
"Focus on the other men, chirurgeon. The God-Emperor will decide if I've done enough."
"Redemption...finally..."
shit fam those are good
you need to shorten them
Hope? Where Is that? When do we besiege it?
I know nothing about this game but GOD DAMN this is so depressing and dark
Even without any context
@@someone_7233 this is what the Krieg Corps are, a bunch of aggressive suicidal warriors. That's why everyone loves them

Yeah the heretics are sure fighting for their live alright
Honestly, go for the Gaunts Ghosts books, or any of the Imperial Guard Omnibuses. Notable mentions for individual novels are 15 hous, Gunheads, and Desert Raiders. It's more often Guard grit than not in those books. Baneblade is also pretty good. If you like Catchans, read Death World by Steve Parker, and never Straken. Straken is the only 40k book I have ever regretted buying, because it makes fucking IRON HAND STRAKEN OF ALL PEOPLE look like a bitch. And if you want the dark side of 40k, find Fire Warrior.

You do the Warhammer 40K lore justice. If they ever make a show/movie in our life time you deserve to direct it.
If you ever feel useless just remember that there was a commissar with these Kriegers.
the commissar is there to stop them not make them go forward
@@joshkay9120 usually commissars assigned to DK units have to contain their soldiers zeal. I find kriegsmen to be very useful when I have a situation that requires their expertise in my service to the inquisition. Interestingly kreig soldiers are some of the most dedicated soldiers I’ve seen. Never have I had to question one who wasn’t direct and forthcoming with answers. They are a credit to the imperium and I wish all soldiers were so willing to satisfy the requirements this inquisitor and servant to the emperor has
The commissars have to stop the kriegers from advancing too far and ending the battle prematurely

@@mitmit4492 ah ik im late but i wanted to say dat
I love how you showed the Kreigers as competent soldiers here instead of the meme version everyone talks about. This was a pleasant animation, I hope to see more like it in the future.
The meme of Kriegers is them being coldblooded killing machines.
You dont think the shovel action was classic guard meme?
@@Tophatism I didn't think you were referring to that. There's not really much in the way of depictions of Kriegers being anything but cold blooded killing machines. There are some memes of them but not commonly shown and more or less never depicted in video. So, I had no reason to believe you were referring to the shovel thing. Which is often less a meme and more the truth.
I don't like the krieg personally but that may be because they are meta. I just think other regiments do more while acting more human. Making their sacrifice more notable and their bravery stand out . I'm not going to debate but the likes of the cadians and the Mordian Iron guard seem better.
@@Guardsman_Greg Well ya know, that's because the Krieg do a much different job than other regiments. Their specialty lies in siege and attrition warfare, hence their love for artillery and trenches.
For these sorts of situations, having cold, almost emotionless killing machines would be much better than humans who have to deal with morale.
Not to mention the fact that when charging a heavily defended position they won't hesitate and get bogged down. At the same time they're also trained well enough to recognise whether they should charge the machine gun or not. Although they all want to die, having a meaningless death is also a waste.
Most other regiments use maneuver warfare strategy, where you use strategic maneuvering to break enemy positions and cause great casualties in a single stroke. This involves dislocating and disrupting the enemy whether it be through strategic strikes on important targets or infiltration and surprise as well as subterfuge.
The Kriegs on the other hand employ an attrition warfare strategy where they force the enemy into a conflict where in a more normal maneuver warfare scenario they would have the advantage but with them being bogged down in attrition warfare those advantages dissappear giving the Kriegsmen a chance to win against what would otherwise be a superior foe.
Technically, the Cadians can also do the same as the Kriegsmen do and fight in an attrition war to great effect but unless the enemy forces are far stronger than the cadian force, a great achievement to be sure as the Cadians are some of the best warriors that humanity can produce, then leveraging their, in comparison to other regiments, better and more numerous equipment would be better done with a maneuver warfare doctrine.
I'm not really sure about the Mordians other than their regiments being smaller but much more better equipped than the average IG force.
Everything I could ever want in a WH40K animation.

Well - being assigned as a commissar to the Death Korps is essentialy a punishment post for any commissar.

I love the clean slightly electric sound of the lasguns in this.
So often people overlook or over dramatize the sounds in 40k.
Lasguns go pew, because laser LOL.
Boltgun go Boom, because HUGE gun.
These weapons are not like the weapons we are familiar with.
The lasguns sound appropriately lethal, people forget they're not useless, just often used against inhumanly powerful foes
Lasguns fire, never run out of ammo, almost never malfunction or breakdown and can make bowling ball sized holes in people.
It’s just that doesn’t really do much when you’re fighting a literal god.
The teaser for the Regicide had the most accurate representation of bolter firing as far as fire rate and recoil goes. It's common to go boom cause "automatic RPGs" but it should be closer to a large caliber chain gun.
Bolters do indeed go boom
@@gustavakerman5419 Bolt shells are propelled by a small amount of compressed water (yes, water is incompressible), that pushes the projectile (the bolt) just out of the gun before the rocket nozzle kicks in, providing most of the motive force of the weapon.
If you are meaning the explosive payload? Well I have more bad news, From the official cross-sectional renders of bolt rounds we can calculate the amount of explosive filler comes to less than a gram of hi-explosive. Meaning that when a bolt detonates on your target you will get a small sharp crack like a primer. Sorry, no earth shattering Ka-Boom, no explosion of gore, just a small sound, and a less than one millimetre (1/25th of an inch) hole though your opponents armour.
I don't know much about 40k but that was some dope-ass action dude
kriegs are cool. Problem is to play them you need to buy them from forgeworld. That means theyre hillariously overprized
I will sum it up for u battle is fought for ten trillion or more men that tanks are more valuable than soldiers and the reason why infantry first then the heavy tanks also swords and spears are not obsolete coz shotguns will lose against people with swords or most preferably chain swords and naval combat is not modern they use broad sides cannons than long rang naval artillery and they like ramming with expensive ass ships to the enemy
