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.

[@maxmoore970]

Against unending waves of krieg suicide bombers and only melee weapons on hand, Korn berserkers can choose to run or they can choose to die. It's just a numbers game.

[@kieranh2005]

@@Birb_of_Judge actually 'A twist of the wrist II' which is the road one. 'A Twist of the wrist' is aimed more at racers. I've got the racers one and watched the video made of the second one. Well worth watching. Good to hear you've got some experience under your belt.

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.

[@TechPriestCharlie]

It legit brought a tear to my eye when I listened to the speech at the beginning with the musical accompaniment. Amazing work as always Lord Baldermort!

[@commissarthorne3894]

"For we are the Death Corp of Krieg. Our gift is Death. To our enemy- To Our Lord- Our gift is Death." That line shook me to my very core.

i remember it diferently for a long time, it was. our gift is Death. to our enemy and ourselfs. still tink it sound more cool.

[@RedwolfDogrocket]

There is something about the sound of an air raid claxton that gives a man a thrill and a shiver of the inevitability of the coming strike. Everything and everywhere like the act of a deity. Luck. Are you born with it? Good then you might live to see another day after the next 30 seconds!

[@Sterben_knight]

I always believed that if the Death Guard remained loyal and were deployed along side the Death Korp they’d be a truly unstoppable force. It would be impossible for any opponent to break their lines

[@theburgerking1236]

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.

[@alexandersmerage4931]

14:36 why are kriegsmen holding plasma pistols? That’s a waste of resources

[@QixTheDS]

Even worse. They’re plasma guns not just pistols. Disgusting.

[@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.

[@unknown3113]

I was watching 'the sandman' (a warhammer 40k tactics channel on yt) he was talking about how to be competitive in 40k and talked about trading units on the battlefield. Kreg does this tactic well, sacrificing units in order to take something more valuable from the enemy

[@baldermort]

Yeah, those sites crack be up. Solidly. Because if you want to play at that level then you need to play and play and play and work out your own list. The original lists and good players make a good fist of it. People think they can take a net list and it’ll give them victory. It simply doesn’t work that way. The army is far far secondary to experience and knowledge of actually playing. Math hammer, as fun as it is, Is probably worse for competitive chances and players than just playing the game. :).

Vraks would have been back in imperial hands in less than 6 months instead of nearly two decades and that includes their deployment and setup time to planet surface. now the hive city would most likely just be dust, ash and random rebar sticking out by then, but it would be loyal once again.

I'm a newcomer to WarHammer, (I blame a frriend, : P lol). After he got me started he told me to look up the Death Korp of Krieg, this was the first vid I found. Sir, you instantly made them my favorites. The lore, the delivery and passion behind it, and that final line in the opening section gives me chills each time I hear it. "For we are the Death Korp of Krieg, our gift is death. To our enemy, and to our Lord, our gift is death."
