Hi, Voice Actor and Writer for both the Steel Legion and Death Korps here. The Steel Legion currently is going to get its own patch called the Steel Patch which should release in a few months that includes a massive update to both models, its unit roster and voice lines. However, if you are still attached to the OG voice lines, there will be a separate voice pack for them called Legacy. Also, about the Hellmarch, yes I made most of the sounds for the Death Korps and while the march is from CnC, the one I used was not from the game itself but from the propaganda reel that game got it from, hence why no music.

[@rmcgowa1987]

Yes it's as I said this version is not c&c it's the original

[@jameslewis2635]

With this sound clip I feel like there should be NOD and GDI factions in this mod. I know you can't though because you would get a C&C C&D.

Krieg is a fun faction indeed. If you want a game-mode that really suits them, try out survival mode. You have to defend against 10 waves of increasingly stronger hordes of enemies as the name suggests, and Krieg with all their defences and artillery, is a great fit for that. Especially if you up the pop cap to 30/30 or 40/40. Just be careful not to get too close to the enemy base or it spawns a doom wave of high tier tanks and/or relic units.

[@simenhartford7206]

Important note: If you enable the titans win-conditon and play Krieg you get access to a "teleportarium" building in the advanced building menu that allows you to construct a big airship and if you also enable the tier 2 titan win-condition you can build a massive warlord titan! All the vanilla factions and some of the modded ones have all gained a "tier 2" titan, which gives them a titan that is stronger than a scout titan.

[@rmcgowa1987]

You should also enable the artillery ai

Lord General Erwin von Eichhorn, the games canon LG for the 103rd, lost it fighting the Necrons and had it replaced with a cybernetic one. Yes, that is a reference to the novel Dead Men by Steve Lyons, and it will be mentioned in the General's after action report when you defeat the Necrons in DC.

[@t.mcgarry4]

Immediately went and listened to Hell March after this. Yeah it now will drive me crazy hearing the sound clip in game, that song absolutely slaps. Also, figured i should fill you in on what was happening with the Rubrics when you killed them (the basic Thousand Sons infantry) - essentially they are just dust in a suit of power armor. when they 'die', the dust leaves the power armor and goes to inhabit a new body. essentially they never actually die, as long as they have a suit of power armor to inhabit they're effectively immortal. (Thousand Sons are my main tabletop faction and i thought it was a cool fun fact)

[@rmcgowa1987]

This is true of rubrics but the chosen are what rubrics used to be some survived the Rubric of Ahriman without turning to dust.

[@t.mcgarry4]

@@rmcgowa1987 ya, that's why I specified the rubrics alone. I noticed later that the aspiring sorcerer's have the same death animation but thought the lore tidbit was cool so left it up :)

[@rmcgowa1987]

@@t.mcgarry4 Didn't mean to target this at you personally just wanted to put that up there for anyone interested in the lore Very few Thousand Sons space marines survived the Rubric of Ahriman those who did the "chosen" were made a lot more powerful because of it this is why in game they have a lot bigger health pools and are a lot tankier. The majority who didn't survive the Rubric of Ahriman were little more than reanimated dust trapped in armour which can't die which retained only a semblance of their former selves this is why in game Rubric marines are very slow and not as accurate should this armour ever be destroyed the dust will escape and seek out the next nearest available armour so Rubrics essentially can live forever.

[@grumpycato8314]

With the addition of the Kriegers, this is officially my favourite mod (they were my army when I still had my models). I hope they add the Pretorians next! Ps: the Siegfried is cheap because it's just a weaponized farming tractor PS II: I think your Pioneers have a dog that acts as detector

As someone who collects and paints warhammer models, the best advise I can give you Shack, if you're scared to try, is not be too worried about the end result. If you've never painted models before, you're bound to make mistakes, but I guarantee that you will be happy and proud of what you were able to accomplish. Also, thin your paints and apply multiple thin coats

If I remember correct, Rubrik Marines are basically souls trapped in power armor. Something that their Primarch did.

[@Spiphie]

Not the Primarch Magnus, but the Chief Librarian of the Thousand Sons, Ahriman. He was essentially the second in command of the legion, and defacto leader once Magnus started on the path to Daemonhood and was busy with other things. It was a last ditch effort to stop rampant mutation; and it worked, albeit with a cost.

I think the whole perpus of the steel legion was to use huge amouts of armour to defeat emines, leaving infantry battles to the death korps, (they are sorta the armour version of the kreig with iron ahrd discipline and a lack of belive in other regiments so they think if they not doing it themselves then it wont be done right, they also where the reason armageddon DIDNT fall too the orks so ide say they a prtty solid lot)

An interesting thing about the krieg is the among other faction their unit the grenadiers has that passive thing like the guardsmen where if you upgrade your hq you gain more units in that squad BUT unlike them if you manage to build enough resources and to upgrade and build the maximum amount of hq you can get about i guess 20 grenadiers in 1 squad which is funny when the trench grenadiers doesn't have that (would have been fun since i love mass tanky melee unit), although there a limit in how many you can build (2 grens and 5 hq), the amount is still enough to make that squad basically unkillable against most infantry because of how much dmg they output might as well use them as meatshield and infantry slayers.
