PLASTIC. DEATH KORPS. OF KRIEG.

[@cleeiii357]

Tbh, Shovels are more on the fandom's image for them. Canonically, their preferred melee weapons are bayonets and clubs.

[@okonkwojones]

Yeah, but C’mon give us the shovels though…

​@xixviii7703 they have the hades tank for that. No reason to hand dig a trench especially during a way when the tank can do it way faster and then just follow behind setting it up

[@Azurios]

The artillery is really cool. And you get 3 additional dudes. If you just want the cannon, you can put the guys on their own bases. I love models with this option.

[@LenaMaia-o9o]

OK, ngl, the Laspistols looking like slightly chonkier Mauser C96s is a really nice touch fitting with the overall Krieg aesthetic

[@gregorygreenwood-nimmo4954]

The new Death Korps range and the Aeldarri models in particular are fantastic, and you have to love the bonkers wolf riding gobbos. A standout for me is the new Warp Spider Phoenix Lord - that model has a great sense of dynamism and manages to convey a suitably predatory arachnid aspect in a humanoid model. For the Krieg, all the models are great - the new special character, Death Riders, the Combat Engineers (shout out to the mini remote controlled mine), and the various field artillery and heavy weapon team options; all of them look awesome.

[@emzetkin1100]

Tbh I wish the RC mine looked more like the tracked AT mine, the cyclops, like how it originally looked. Especially since Ukrainians have started using something similar against Russia

[@mr..pleasant9298]

I’m convinced that the horse gas mask doubles as a muzzle, there’s no way those claws aren’t attached to some horrible predator that stalks Krieg looking for new recruits to devour

[@donkratos5627]

What most people missed is that “stick” is actually the new PRIMARIS SHOVEL… It uses anti-gravitic technology to push the mud, instead of the FIRST BORN SPADE…

[@Jelle1880]

I'm in love with every single one of the artillery pieces, especially the MLRS

[@theycallmepiccolo9985]

I will not start a krieg army I will NOT START A KRIEG ARMY I MIGHT START BOTH A ELDAR AND KRIEG ARMY. I also just noticed the random base on the second death rider image good job GW XD

Lol. THAT BASE BETTER BE IN THE BOX.

And now people are modding Krieg models into Steel Legion.. the wheel turns

[@knightsljx]

condolences to the Blood Angels this edition. they really got shafted in this edition's refresh

[@Deadjim17]

The mounts of the FW Death Rider minis were very long legged as well, the claws look unsettling fantastic they really do... it's been knocked out of the park

[@Piehead99]

A bunch of these would make some really great base minis for Trench Crusade as well. The engineers especially would only really need the Aquilas shaving off.

[@Prophetofthe8thLegion]

It was perfect, perfect, down to the minute detail.

[@jamesespinosa690]

Except the proportions. The krieg mini's look like trash compared to their resin counterparts. The new style of guns is also crap.

[@frostedbutts4340]

@@jamesespinosa690 This is absolute copium lmao. As someone who owns both.. the sculpts are almost exactly the same and I even mix them in squads fine.

[@madmerlinsart]

I've got 20 infantry plus a "command squad"-ish, it's 28 guys plus tech priest and converted commissar, and a dude in a tank. I have parts left over for 1 more guy but I think I used his specific head elsewhere now I don't have one that fits him. Really looking forward to this box, the fact Krieg were Resin only in the past really stopped me collecting them, but now I'm happy to commit to the army.

[@secutorprimus]

I adore this release. I'd love to see how the Krieg cavalry compare to the Rough Riders and Admech Serberys. I also have hope that Guard will move past incentivizing heavy tank spam, and encourage more artillery, elite infantry, cavalry, and light tanks. Emphasizing basic lasweapons for the cavalry was a *great* choice. The Combat Engineers being equipped with autopistols also carry intriguing lore implications (what could be the tactical/logistical considerations?) The aeldari releases are also all bangers, as usual. The new Spider Lady diverges aesthetically a bit, from the rest of the Lords, but... she looks good enough to make up for it.

[@vraska8799]

Ironically, that's how prehistoric horses' claws looked like, then it evolved into hooves... the beast was so small you wouldn't be able to mount them tho. edit: i think they had more fingers, but they general look was something like that.

[@alphaleigpyne]

The Marshall on his steed has a lot of details on his base. I like his laspistol aiming at unseen target while his sword is on his side. Commissar and Command Squad are quality. The Combat Engineers have the same style of the Grenadiers without their hotshot-lasguns and other special weapons. They should do a KT of them or have them as part of the DKoK elite units for WH40k.

[@alphaleigpyne]

The Marshall's laspistol and power sword options works for the upper pose preference.

[@RobbieB2606]

They are so so good, fair play to GW

[@HappyVoidWanderer]

I love the death riders, they pulled the "horse?" part just right and the artillery is perfect. Not a fan of how the Combat engineers looks more grenadiers though

[@LemanRussVanquisher]

I've been into the actual hobby of 40k since the end of 7th. I am the most excited for this release that I have ever been for any release since getting into 40k.

[@cassandraphoenix6773]

They've got me too, even though I promised myself I'd never buy GW boxsets again after all the fomo crap. Massive fan of the Krieg and the models have done the army justice.

[@InquisitorThomas]

Trench Crusade is looking pretty good.

[@KudiGamer]

great New Antioch sculpts

[@JumpyLemming22]

I’m hoping that Krieg gets an infantry unit that primarily uses shovels, like a trench digger unit that can get stuck into combat. I know it’s a meme, but Krieg do love digging trenches and i hope that GW leans into the meme a little bit, at least for just one unit

[@ger5956]

The medic instantly gave me Plague Doctor vibes. I don’t want a new army, but damn, GW have really forced my hand! 😅

[@JoeWedgwood-ik9zo]

I much prefer the old forge world models, is it just me?

The preview was on Friday, wasn't it? And that bit of a horse is, indeed, its mane.

[@bjf10]

Ope, there's another shovel on the heavy weapons squad!

[@e.nordstrom3892]

I feel like GW hit a turning point this fall. Yes, they do plan and design things years in advance, but the shift in teasers strategy and what they showed off feels promising. Hating on GW is almost part of the hobby, but I do really want them to have success. They had Coteaz, Agents and BA, and those releases where… Not the most well recieved. Then we get a break, followed by this preview, showing off 10/10 ranges. Sure hope this is what the future looks like, GW showed us they really can deliver exiting new stuff in volumes.

[@lonelystrategos]

I hate the new engineer shotguns, they look infinitely worse than the FW version. Also, shovels are an overused meme, not something the Death Korps actually frequently use in melee. The rest of the releases are mostly great, though.

[@Frosty4427]

Tiny Legend, rightfully so, are about to see a huge spike in their profits.

[@Dingghis_Khaan]

[@Urunian]

Krieg and Malcador infernus sounds like a new guard detachment is being started. The real question is do these make the top 5 horse list?

[@RobbieB2606]

They must surely be in the top 5, they are QUALITY in my opinion

[@ger5956]

The absolutely win the top horse prize! 🐴 😅 🏆

[@spencerruston406]

If you want Krieg to go with the tanks then maybe artillery and cavalry could fit?

[@bigsegzygypsy7619]

Memes are cannon! KRIEG NEED THEIR SHOVELS!!!

[@origulator]

The horse has prosthethics, which implies that it was horribly injured and then operated on before getting nurtured back to health, which means horses in 40k are treated better than horses irl. That's fun.

[@knightsljx]

I don't know what to feel about the FOMO box set. I feel GW is going to price gouge the hell out of it. If they treat the artillery piece as a centerpiece model, that box could be £180

[@herrmartinsson1987]

cool

[@markhickson9087]

I think they are good but I'd not go perfect. I love the big and medium guns, love the troops. However, I'm not sure on the "horses". A couple of the stances are off for me and the leader's mount is just too chunky. Ordinary trooper get lithe, elegantly weird "horses", where as the commander gets a shire horse? I'm not keen on it at all. It might be better to put him on a standard mount??

[@luscinius2933]

Not a fan of the revolver pump-action shotgun, something like the Scout shotgun would've looked better IMO. Mildly disssapointed that MLRS is not Nebelwerfer-esque. C96 laspistol is a really nice touch, though.

[@fistimusmaximus6576]

hmm need more shovels!

[@jamescurtis2112]

What with all the Kreig artwork on the codex are Cadians being replaced for the poster regiment for the Imperial Guard?

[@EggmovieX]

Its just a special cover for the big box with Krieg units

[@kt-z8r]

Honestly, I hate the oversized shotguns and a lot of the poses. The only things I really like about them are the heavy weapons emplacements and the artillery, not even the crews really.

[@felixarbable]

It's funny because I've not spoken to anyone who thinks these are better than the old models. They look way less realistic and grimdark

I feel they leaned a bit too much into the skull mask theme. They are supposed to be dour and stark so this decoration feels fancyfull.

[@dakotawalkerauthor]

Honestly not the biggest fan. I think the Death Riders were much needed and probably the most faithful adaptation. The bug-eyed goggles in the redesign just look cartoonish, and the "Engineers" have me fuming, because they opted to just make them look like grenadiers instead of giving them their own iconic masks.
