"Sir, I`ve killed their Commissar" "You did WHAT?" "I`ve killed their leader, so now they are disorganised and we can crush them" "You fool, you killed the only thing that was holding them back, we are dead men"
Well... The Commissar was probably the only thing holding them back from suicide. Commissars don't usually hold Kriegers back if they can just overwhelm the enemy, but with the commissar now gone, the entire regiment will probably just rush the enemy trench and most of them will be cut down before reaching the enemy, making their sacrifice effectively useless. The Imperial Guard aren't stupid, they are willing to sacrifice most of their forces for a victory, but if that means they wouldn't have enough men to hold against a counter-attack they most likely just wouldn't attack and try to whittle down the enemy first. Kriegers are special in this because they only want about two things, to slaughter the Emperor's enemies and to die while doing so in an effort to redeem their irredeemable sin. They are a highly effective and elite unit, but without someone to control their efforts they can just end up dying before achieving victory.
@@lionhartjohn1000 The role of a Commisar in a Krieg regiment is less "charge!" and more "charge! But like, twelve feet to the left, so you don't run through the minefield by accident!"

Wall of text about how Kriegsmen would make you beg for titans. Titans can be driven off by massed artillery fire or a few squadrons of canny pilots. Orbital fire can crush them like Guardsmen under an earth shaker. If you have none of the above, then all you need do is spread your army out, a titan’s reach is long but they are few. Even if your unit is caught by a god machine it is not too hard to survive, simply don’t fight it, don’t run for cover, weapons, fortifications, or armor, simply grab survival gear and run from your unit, those that would execute you would be too busy facing the titan. Titans are walking fortifications and artillery, their weapons are expensive to move, let alone fire, they won’t waste quake rounds, thousands of bolts, floods of plasma or promethium just to slay a single soldier, no they will be aiming their weapons towards the masses of soldiers or the heaviest war machines. The Death Korps is the opposite, they take whatever threats you send them as cordial invitations, they will see your unholy arms as chances to repent to their emperor, they will laugh in the face of torture. They WANT you to kill them, they won’t just let you, but they do want to die. The only thing they truly hate, is an enemy that ignores or them. If you run, they will hunt you down through the most inhospitable terrain to the most well-made fortress, they will break through, and they will expend every round, power-pack, and soul in their possession to do so, and with their ties to the right facets of the imperium they have each in spades.

@@Yesuliph yes they can. there is nothing stopping the people of krieg from feeling emotions. just that 90% of their emotions are Rage at the old krieg ruling class and shame that they turned krieg away from the imperium for so long.
I'm not versed in Warhammer Lore, but given the rest of the comments, I feel like the Krieg are the kinds of soldiers who would voluntarily commit suicide because they missed too many shots.

Whether it's heretics, demons, xenos or even themselves
Long story short: Their planet once was a nice and heavily defended world that one day tried to secede from the Imperium. A war ensued then amongst the loyalists and the heretics (Separatists). The loyalist forces were ordered to regain control at all costs and that's exactly what they did: They unleashed a nuclear apocalypse on the planet, dooming Krieg to a nuclear winter and annihilating most of the population. Despite this, the war still continued until the loyalists won. When the Imperium authorities arrived, they declared that, for their treachery now Krieg had to a pay a tribute in the form of a heavy military contribution to earn redemption. As a result, the Krieg soldiers developed a mentality obsessed with sacrifice that put samurai and spartans to shame. Their motto is, in a nutshell, "Kill enemies of humanity no matter the price, our lifes are expendable".

Here's some useless inspiration: At my job, me and fellow operators are required to drive a vehicle around the premises of where we work to complete our hourly routes in a timely manner. One day, I felt like changing it up. Taking with me my Bluetooth Speaker, I hooked this marching rhythm up to it and went about doing my hourly routes without the use of a vehicle. To my surprise I was able to complete every route on time like I normally would when driving a vehicle. Goes to show that so long as you got a good rhythm to march to, you can do things just as fast and efficiently.
That's actually why armies use drums and marches: Loading a musket is a rather complex process. You need to do a lot of things not only in a specific order, but at a reasonable speed, AND more often than not, under some heavy pressure. That's why soldiers used to be trained to follow a rhythm and do things in unison. It was far less likely that they would commit a mistake and it raised their effectiveness in high pressure situations. There's a book called "Meaning in technology" by Arnold Pacey. It has a full chapter on rhythm, music and its relation with technology, like industrial machines making rhythmic noises, people's affection for the sound of Harley Davidsons, soldiers marching... it's a very interesting read I totally recommend.

WH40k is a pretty fucked up universe to explore but the gist is;
-The Universe fucking sucks
-Krieg did bad things and now their world is dead
-They live on a toxic world and their main export is Cannon fodder
-Said Cannon Fodder (which is saying something compared to how the imperium treats the Guardsmen) is HUNGRY for death. Whether it's heretics, demons, xenos or even themselves
Just like my pal said, it's pretty fucked up. But fucked up in the good way. It's grim and dark
Long story short:
Their planet once was a nice and heavily defended world that one day tried to secede from the Imperium. A war ensued then amongst the loyalists and the heretics (Separatists). The loyalist forces were ordered to regain control at all costs and that's exactly what they did: They unleashed a nuclear apocalypse on the planet, dooming Krieg to a nuclear winter and annihilating most of the population.
Despite this, the war still continued until the loyalists won. When the Imperium authorities arrived, they declared that, for their treachery now Krieg had to a pay a tribute in the form of a heavy military contribution to earn redemption.
As a result, the Krieg soldiers developed a mentality obsessed with sacrifice that put samurai and spartans to shame. Their motto is, in a nutshell, "Kill enemies of humanity no matter the price, our lifes are expendable".

If yall wondering where this quote came from, its when the United States first joined WW1 and helped push the Germans out of France. The French decided to retreat and fortify Paris. Not the United States Army though, they dawned their gas masks and proceeded to shank/stab/shovel all of their enemies to death. (thinking about it, I think this is where the Krieg originated from). If you dont believe me look up the quote and you will see the aftermath.
@@omega_mlg1027 yeah the Krieg reminds me of the USMC, especially in ww1. They have the uniforms of other nations from WW1 but the way they fight and how they never retreat perfectly resembles the US Marines. The only time the US Marines retreated were when they were under the command of the Army.

Here's some useless inspiration:
At my job, me and fellow operators are required to drive a vehicle around the premises of where we work to complete our hourly routes in a timely manner. One day, I felt like changing it up. Taking with me my Bluetooth Speaker, I hooked this marching rhythm up to it and went about doing my hourly routes without the use of a vehicle. To my surprise I was able to complete every route on time like I normally would when driving a vehicle. Goes to show that so long as you got a good rhythm to march to, you can do things just as fast and efficiently.
That's actually why armies use drums and marches: Loading a musket is a rather complex process. You need to do a lot of things not only in a specific order, but at a reasonable speed, AND more often than not, under some heavy pressure.
That's why soldiers used to be trained to follow a rhythm and do things in unison. It was far less likely that they would commit a mistake and it raised their effectiveness in high pressure situations.
There's a book called "Meaning in technology" by Arnold Pacey. It has a full chapter on rhythm, music and its relation with technology, like industrial machines making rhythmic noises, people's affection for the sound of Harley Davidsons, soldiers marching... it's a very interesting read I totally recommend.
Ever read the story of the tortoise and the hare? When you get a fast start on things, it's easy to slack off, whereas a steady pace can easily lead to the systematic thinking that lets you get things done
That's Truth! ❤

@@yurifier9649 cadia is a planet with an army.. Krieg is Army with a planet.. if 13 black crusade invade krieg instead of Cadia..chaos would lose as krieg doesn't even corrupted cadians are..also krieg holds more soldiers than cadians are.
Glad to see the scouting party is in good condition
A boy watches the soldiers as they march.
“Where are you going?” He asks.
“To war.”
These are Kriegers, they haven't gone to war in over 1000 years.
They just go to die.
"Praise the God-Emperor! Every day is a good day to die in his portrait of ash!"
"To death"
