In my very first game of 8th edition I played against someone who played Abbadon and to delay his advance I literally had to just throw body after body at him and the advancing wall of Black Legion CSMs. When a squad died, you can use a stratagem where the last soldier alive calls in an artillery strike on his position and whittled them away one by one and poked wounds on Abby. I modelled one gentleman with his E-Tool in hand and he managed to keep surviving a Soulgrinder's attacks even after his squad had died off The Soulgrinder said fuck it and tried to retreat at which point my lascannon teams and autocannon teams knocked him down to three wounds Then I charged the guardsman back in and with his etool struck the daemon engine which then failed all three saves and died. Finally on the last round I need to hold out to win he has a clear shot to the objective so I charged in my command squad and field officer. Abbadon chewed through the command squad but with the DKoK orders they were able to fire plasma and lasguns into his face during the melee. Finally it was just my officer left and he managed to strike the final blow with his power sword. The CSMs killed like 60 Guardsmen but the fact that my no-name officer ran in and struck down Abbadon as his men were massacred and blowing themselves and the enemy up is mucho Krieg, especially because he got killed the next round to mass bolter fire. Krieg carried the day with like 98% casualties. It was great.

During the battle a Keeper of Secrets rips the top off a Leman Russ and the tank gunner looks up, and blasts the tank ammo storage bin with his sidearm, destroying the Keeper. Tho the reason we probably don't see much of the Deth Korps anymore is they, kinda sorta, look like S.S. Nazi troops even with their WW1 style.

Yay, Death Korps! Great to see my guys get some love, first world war inspired insanity included! They are Forgeworld and are very expensive as such, but they have current edition rules. About the helmets, the Krieg one is actually a mix of the German Stahlhelm and French Adrian Helmet. Their coat is mostly French, the gasmasks are British and the carapace armour grenadiers and engineers wear is German. And to give another example of how implacable the Death Korps is, Krieg troopers wish to martyr themselves to atone for their betrayal centuries ago. Their named character is even called Marshall Karis Venner the Thrice Martyred, because he was assumed to have died three times before.

well technically the gasmask is a mixture of british and german ww2 gasmasks (british ones are either more baggy or have an extra metal bit on them, the gasmasks looks most like ww1 german gasmasks masks with british style hose and filtration satchel.) the trench coat is also more of a mixture then you give it credit for, its collar (and argueably slieves) are like german coats. their backpacks are also largely german at first glance, but are infact a combination of french and german ww1 backpacks when you compare it, with alittle bit of austro-hungarian. their trousers alos seem to be german, while their boots and puttees are french.

Yes, the DKoK helmet is based on the WW1 German M1915 Stahlhelm (with some style taken from the French Adrian helmet) while the Armageddon Steel Legion is far more based on WW2 German Fallschirmjager (paratroopers). Another note on organizational differences: the DKoK are the only Imperial Guard formation allowed to field combined arms regiments (this is in the form of their siege regiments) this is, of course, for logistical purposes but also because the DKoK are so trusted by the Departmento Munitorum, very rare in deed.

Note about helmets: You were partially correct about both helmets, but not all the way (which is understandable, most people don’t know this kind of thing). The Death Korps do use a helmet inspired by the stahlhelm, which replaced the pickelhaube in 1916 or so. However, the Germans kept the stahlhelm as their main infantry helmet all the way up to and through World War II. The helmet used by the Steel Legions is indeed inspired by a WWII helmet, though not a German one (since they were still using the stahlhelm design). Rather, their helmet takes inspiration from the American M1 helmet design, which was standard issue for American soldiers throughout WW2 and onward until it was phased out in the 80s.

Marching practice: we use LIVE Artillery to teach our boys to find cover. AND we use Womb failures to use live fire to teach us to watch for snipers and they are ordered to kill us at EVERY moment. And fun fact, when in transit to another battle ground while on transports in the Warp, their bayonet drills have life sized dummies that are Death Korps troopers in picture. When a commissar once asked them why, they said “Because the greatest enemy is ourselves.” (From book, “Dead Men Walking”.) Come now, give us the whole backstory my friend.

What IS this game ?! 40K has essentially dogpiled my brain - I'm on to my 4th videogame adaptation, ordered books (going to start with Gaunt Ghosts) but the l o r e is so rich and vast, many thanks for putting these videos together man, it's all pretty spellbinding for a newcomer 👍👍

The Germans used the Stahlhelm in both world wars. And while it's not quite exact, the Steel Legion helmet looks closer to the Adrian used by the French during both world wars.

As he pushed the button to drop the bomb

“...not much to give but tears and dust...”- jeez, you make this world sound kind of grim, and dark. Hmmm... I think you may be on to something there. 😉. Thanks for the awesome video! I was never interested in building any Astra Militarum force- I bought the “Get Started” box of the Tempestus Scions to kitbash some Inquisition henchfolk, but that was it. Except for the Death Korps. They are just so incredibly, grimly cool! And prohibitively expensive, as they’re only made by Forge World. I’ve made my 30K Raven Guard of 90% Forge World stuff, and I don’t know if I have it in me to make another really expensive resin army... but we’ll see! Thanks again for another awesome video- And, you just gotta love an army whose acronym of initials sounds like “D- Cock”. That’s just badass.
