The Death Korps of Krieg - Why they never retreat? l Warhammer 40k Lore

[@vd00d]

Imagine being a comissar assigned to The Death Korps. Suddenly, you are the least fanatical member of your entire regiment and your job now is to try to keep your charges from gleefully dying for The Emperor, possibly with you in tow.

[@FrankLemarin-df4sp]

Things are not like that in the novel the siege of Vraks, a commissar had to shoot a wounded troopers because the other wanted to help him instead of charging. A colonel ordered a withdraw in front of a demonic invasion etc. Fluff wise they are no longer the war machine they used to be.

I hear kriegsmen or warmen are such a belligerent bunch that they end up winding up other regiments not of their world only the marccarbian jannissary and the mordian guard are shown any respect

[@jjohnson796]

Having these stories posted on YT and just listening to the audio makes them feel like an old time radio show. Pretty cool!

[@kaidorade1317]

And a new Death Korps novel will soon be released!

[@weaviejeebies]

I wonder if the characters will be Sgt.Jurten and Cpl. Jurten teaming up with Lt. Jurten trying to take a crucial objective on the orders of Col. Jurten. 😉

I've always wondered how the Death Korps would perform against the Machines in The Matrix. Would humanity have had a Fighting chance?

[@jameselliott216]

😑Would the *MACHINES* have a fighting chance?

[@aurorajones8481]

mmmm That would be a facinating mash up. Anyone?

[@vampurhntrd]

The Korps have held their own against Necrons, the machines from the Matrix would be light work.

[@jsgoh1]

Perfect timing and an interesting topic,thank you:)

[@lhcdrivernephi2837]

They do retreat, too many people get their lore from memes and not the books.

Happy 4th 🦅🇺🇸

Ill still level the field with my partical whips.

[@JackFrost008]

Dont need your damned commissars.

[@ninjapirate47]

Love that they fight with shovels... pass it on... especially to bricky!

[@wodthehunter8145]

entrenching tools, eg shovels have been an important part of war since pre history.

[@michaelsebi]

Except they don’t. At least not as prominently as the fandom believes ! There’s not a single sentence in the lore that claims they use the shovel as their primary melee weapon. The bayonet is. The shovel is only used as a backup emergency weapon in all the canon we have, it’s just a meme otherwise.

[@jameselliott216]

Why the Death Corps never retreat? 🤣 Same reason I can't fly simply by thinking happy thoughts! *IMPOSSIBLE!*

[@alagass6466]

Gonna die sooner or later anyway, why not sooner?

[@gradualdecay1040]

Jurten was a lunatic!

[@thedudeofthenorth]

And a Hero...godda be a bit crazy to beat those odds

Your voice sounds exactly like Asmonds editor, cool voice tho.

[@fatcoyote2]

The Death Korps do retreat. They do break morale and hoof it. In the series of books wherein the Krieg were fleshed out, they break and run many times.

I love that even the nazis are included in 40k.

They’re French. Google French WW1 Legionaire. Shits even the same color. Nazis are much more “I’m a 16 year old shitposter” though, so you know… warhammer community will always have plenty of edgelords screaming that.
