DEATH KORP OF KRIEG THE STRUCTURE OF SLAUGHTER

[@Baldermort]

DEATH KORP OF KRIEG THE STRUCTURE OF SLAUGHTER Covering the equipment, structure and officers that make up this legendary Regiment of the Astra Militarum, the Imperial Guard, of the Imperium of Mankind in Warhammer 40,000. The story at the beginning is a fan fic an never ever to be considered cannon. Any inconsistencies are down, of course, my own failings. I am far from perfect, despite how I try my best to give you all quality videos to view/listen to.

[@sumpterino]

The Death Korps of Krieg is one of my favorite regiments! they take pragmatism, sprinkle a little blood & guts over it, wraps it in a trench coat and promptly turn it up to 11 ☠

[@alganhar1]

Pragmatism? Is that what you call it? Nothing to do with pragmatism, pragmatism is keeping your soldiers alive as much as possible because, despite what WH40K states, dead soldiers win no wars, they are simply dead. Pragmatism is rather like the US approach in WWII, spend things over lives. SPend lives if we must, but things are far easier to replace than properly trained soldiers, especially the Specialists. I despise the Kreigs, because they are based on the ultimate fallacy, WG, having no real knowledge of WWI tactical changes based the Kreigsmen on their 'idea' of WWI... and its largely bullshit.... Wave attacks were, despite the common perspective, very rarely used after the first 3 or 4 months for example. Modern Combined Arms Warfare was born in the mud and the Blood of the Western Front. An infantry platoon went from rifle only in 1914, to a combined arms team including a gun team, bomb team (grenadiers), mortar/rifle grenadier team, rifle team, and finally a small HQ team... feel free to replace team with Squad/Section depending on your nationality.... Give me the Cadians any day.... or even the Catalans.... But the LAST thing the Kreigs are about is PRAGMATISM, they are about spending blood for ground, little else. That is not pragmatic....

[@adrienwatson2179]

@@alganhar1 You're going into purely meme territory. Kreigsman ARE pragmatists. They arent described by GW as memes, they're described as pragmatic. The Death Korp is willing to die when necessary, but not for no reason. They dont throw themselves on the enemies sword, but are willing to do so ONLY if it serves a purpose. It's a common misconception that they WANT to die. No, Kriegsman want to KILL and are willing to die to accomplish that task. A great example would be the bunker assaults on Vraks. The Death Korp protested violently when they were pulled back from the vicious underground fighting..... they were furious because the leadership threw away their lives then retreated.. making their deaths worthless. They argued that they could have taken the bunker complex and that would justify the mass deaths, if only the commanders had the stones to follow through and let then do their work. The Death Korp is not suicidial they are murderous.

Kreig really does emphasizes everything that 40k is and should be. A world where death is a mercy, a world where the sky is nought but myth and life is unceasingly brutal. Compared to the world of Kreig, Catachan is an exotic safari. And very few places can really compare to how terrible it truly is to live on. The fact that people can still live on that world is a testament to the unending and perhaps even foolish undaunted spirit of mankind. But most the death Corps of Kreig emphasizes the sheer massive scale of death that there is.

[@abelbabel8484]

Why are they holding special weapons? Because they were ordered to.

[@dabigork]

Why because they run forward and roll a " 1 "

[@tarantulathree-one8013]

Remember when Guardsman don't want those guns because they explode? Kriegsmen carry them with pride because not only do they destroy the enemies of the Imperium, they get to sacrifice on top of it as well. So yes, happy gas mask noises indeed. Surprised those kriegers aren't pitching tents or wetting their pants just from holding those sacred weapons.

Death korp!!!! Awesome stuff baldy!!!

[@Kosh1516]

Hey Baldermort, This is one of your best to date. Please send me to the 40k galaxy. Thank you!

[@valtherando5269]

There is so much Warhammer lore to take in, and as someone as new as a babe to it all, you're voice is poetically soothing despite the vast carnage and gory war you narrate. Such a thing makes it all so much easier to take it.

[@zzombeemuffin]

Thanks!

[@Baldermort]

Many thanks to you brother Muffin. Merry Christmas! *bows to brother Muffin*

the best lore channel ! thank you !

[@MoriaGecko1]

I love how at the beginning the kriegers had only 1 real regiment they respected and that was the catachans.

[@shanehennessy9366]

Yes Krieg, I just know this will be amazing. Thanks wordsmith Baldemort and Mrs B for this spectacular content!

[@tvinky1992]

Another fantastic video, keep up the great work mr. B

[@Baldermort]

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@davebowman9000]

Marvelous relexion at the end, Brother! I really like those moments. Excellent work as usual!!

[@kalebeckart1009]

Absolutely marvelous as always Mr B, you are a shining light

[@scottag3597]

Easily my favourite regiment. Great work as always Baldermort!

[@marklimonci998]

Awesome video! Your right, so many people think of the DKoK as a joke, stupid for throwing their lives away but they don't understand the mentality. They seek atonement, not death. However if the price of atonement is their death, they are willing to pay it.

[@themerryharridan8409]

Ahhhhhh. My son’s favorite faction. He’s getting death riders for his birthday.

[@Baldermort]

Lucky lad indeed !! They’re awesome!!

[@drmadrid1]

You’re a good dad

[@adman1381]

At last! Another Krieg video from Baldemort!!!!

[@commissaryarrick9670]

When I die bury me with my gas mask and tell the emperor I paid my debt faithfully and with honor

[@Ramsesdgr8]

Another outstanding story and great information on the Korp. Thanks again, Baldy.

[@diegogisbertllorens7416]

Great work, as usual! Loved your personal comments by the end of the video, always adding some depth to the often nonsensical and over-the-top official lore.

[@serjobsalot8768]

Right in time with the new plastic Krieg models

[@BBlueu2]

Amazing video Baldermort, thank you! It's immensely difficult to actually relate and act out the mentality and demeanor of Kriegsmen. DoK really capture what we can become through industrialization of War, and losing our humanity through cloning and extreme religious fanaticism. DoK are the scariest thing to me in 40k, even more than the Tyranids.

[@JacobVeith]

Brother Baldermort you've done it. You've covered my three favorite factions now. The 7th legion, The Black Templars and now the DKoK. Once again you tell an amazing tale. Keep it up.

[@L3GHO5T]

Dude. You deserve a Nobel peace prize in literature

[@MoriaGecko1]

Ive always associated the entire culture of krieg with that of the slayer cult from WH Fantasy except with humans instead of dwarves and on a much more massive scale. Slayers abandon there old lives entirely in search of death in order to atone for a perceived shame. Not just any death will do. Only a glorious one will make up for their sins and with kriegers its no difference.

[@JoshuaKevinPerry]

Urge to shovel RISES

[@MojoTunc]

A little blasphemy there in the beginning Brother Baldermort, 'we are the body of the emperor' ? How very dare they?

[@Baldermort]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😎😎😎

[@CosmicBackgroundRadiation01]

That first 10 min was masterful.

[@BohdanKaiba]

Really gets you in the proper mindset of a Krieg!

[@leekah9981]

After listening your videos and listening especially the Death Korps Of Krieg your storytelling make me feel like I am in the story itself That I am the character in the story as I fought in the muddy trenches of Krieg Warfare As I fought against Xenos and heretics Demons alike with a shovel and thank you for this video and telling the Inner workings of how the Krieg was made...

[@cadders554]

Oh this is glorious, amazing voice acting and story telling

[@noblepsyker4953]

KRIEEEEEEEEEEEEG!!!!!!💀💀💀💀 Sorry about that I just get a little excited when I hear death korp of krieg, all out of my system now 👍

[@FoxHoundV]

The first part is pretty much how I feel about the polo wearing office people while I fix equipment for them.

[@Janulo8524]

oh yes ... had a very bad Friday but this ... THIS! Will make it just that much better !

[@g58781]

This is a good mentality to have if you have to go to a job that you hate!

[@rougenarwhal8378]

0:01 that krieger needs a cup of recaff

[@notagamer2637]

I want this intro in my life I love the death korps of krieg. They are true saying others are weaklings. Even the astartes feel fear at rare occasions, but these regular men, given regular training, they do not. They are so filled with devotion and loyalty that they do not. All they know is that is enemy, i am a weapon. And they just throw themselves out there, to them chaos and tyranids and orks and everything else is equal, enemies to the emperor. And they cant stand it...this was the faction that brought me to warhammer, and my love for this has increased ever since

They have to stop Kreigers from going over board, But I wonder if 1 was ever taken out for not being "Brave" enough!

You sir are a troubadour of 40k

[@PostProteusKitten]

Nice Sharpe reference at the end there.

[@tabletopgeneralsde310]

The intro story makes me cry.
