40k Lore, The Death Riders Of Krieg! Shock Cavalry On The Battlefield Of The 41st Millennium! 

"yours or the enemies?" *yes*

XD

Why Not Both?

Both is good

*Yes*

Best use of gasmasks ever.

1million:1 odds are a wet dream for the men of Krieg xD

Krieger: "bold of you to assume we are sane in the first place"

* observe Don't mean to snub you in any way, man, just wanna help make this comment as glorious as it should be.)))

It's more like he says that and the krieg riders charge the chaos marine formation without a word.

Krieg: Hears words, wordlessly turns horse toward enemy bunker line, screams war cry in gas mask as he gallops away. Guardsman: “My point exactly.”

“COME BACK AND FACE ME YOU COWARDS!!”

I mean, riding down routing enemy is one of the main duties of cavalry.

More like “THE ENEMY HAS BROKEN DUE TO OUR CAVALRY CHARGE!” …*depressed gas mask galloping noises*

“WHY ARE THEY STILL FOLLOWING U-“ -Last words of a heretic trench defender before getting trampled.

The funny part is in the Krieg regiments, the commissar's job is to make sure the Krieg guardsmen *do not die needlessly*.

True but the Actual truth is "Gory is way the first man will die"

Also arch used the same song on repeat for most of the siege series, and the series was still amazing

Death Korps does it officially. Catachans from what I understand, never do anything, there's just a massive chain of coincidences for every single commissar who is unsuitable. Unlucky, as you can see.

It seems silly to use a horse when if you can just clone animals you could pick a gigantic lizard with armor plates or mega arachnid. Mega arachnid cavalry sounds fking nuts.

@@chadcuckproducer1037 Gotta honor holy Terra

@@chadcuckproducer1037 They also are cannibals, that eat even Space Marines. So... yeah.

And the death rider horses are gentle and child friendly?

Being cannibals is a huge plus. Then you don't need to clone separate animals as food stuffs. Eating space marines sounds like a huge plus when looking for animal cavalry. Especially since you may need to fight chaos space marines. Lol Seeing as how mega arachnids were at one point a spa e faring race they should be able to be trained and hypnoibdoctrinated similar to a space marines. Then looking at the mobility, they would have a huge bonus over horses in that too. Plus 8 legs would offer more traction. And you could put a horse head helmet on them so you could feel like Odin riding his nephew, Slepnir!

None left alive at least.

Emperor bless me, “The rider is just the commissar for the horse” is the most BRILLIANT thing to grace my mind!! xD And it would make total sense from a non-Krieg and ESPECIALLY-KRIEG standpoint!! xD

@@UGNAvalon XDD pretty much, just made me think of Queen Alfsigr from Skyrim, anytime there was an enemy and I wasn't riding her, be it a mudcrab, ice troll, Daedra or Dragon, she'd attack it and kick its ass XDD I'd usually end up chasing after her, using any spell I could to heal her XD I mean, if the Mechanicus made the Krieger war horse, it'd make sense that it'd be an aggressive, nearly psychotic animal. I don't remember if the Kriegers or 40K in general used tech to mindlink with their horses, but if I was a Krieger's roided up mutant war steed and some jumped up Xeno or Heretic shot him from off my back, I'd stomp anything not of Krieg present on the planet into paste for so long as I was able XD

​​@@Karelwolfpup funny enough I've started a Skyrim playthrough with a really big immersion mod pack that includes one that lets you train your horse to improve it's health/damage, speed and stamina. I was assaulting a Giant camp once and forgot to tell my horse to stay put and saw her run at top speed into the camp and start kickboxing the mammoth... *and win*

ArCh Is A kNoTzEe

Valark straight up stole art like the worm he is.

@@joshuafischer684 hate the creator, love his creation. Idc wtf he does as long as it doesn't get himself arrested. His lore is top notch.

@@jacobp.4593 do you mean Chapter Master Valrak, or am is this somebody else

@@HoodedLord yeah that "guy" he compains about Arch constantly but "borrowed" Arch his commisioned artwork to abuse it for his own video's , the hypocrit

Tau: Melee weapons is of no use on the modern battlefield. "scary chainsaw noise"

That what the Kroots are for :)

Kroot: Are we a joke to you?

@@Marinealver yes, yes you are

@@Marinealver Not a tasteful joke though. (yes, pun intended).

Check out my idea. Mega Arachnid mounts. Cannibals so you only need one species for both mounts and mount food. Can also eat a space marines. Great for fighting chaos space marines.

@@chadcuckproducer1037 or you just grab grox and modify them the same way the krieg mounts. Some rough riders use a breed of grox as their mount. Now imagine what monster would pop out of THAT. friggin dinosaur from HELL. Plus Grox are not very picky about food already so thats covered...

Eversor?

@@chadcuckproducer1037 carnivors are inefficient energy wise, ideally you want a mount that can thrive on the same rations as their riders for simplicity and a plant-based diet for efficiency. cannibals are a bad idea

@@matthiuskoenig3378 nothing screams efficient like irradiating your planet so that you must live underground for a million years, clone armies, horses vs futuristic super soldiers and armor, and explosive lances. Anyways, just feed them chaos space marines.

He has a lot of competition. Lutien09 and Oculus imperium give him a run for his money

@@ieuanhunt552 archs voice plus video structure is better imo

@@ieuanhunt552 arch didnt sell us out for dawn of war 3 unlike leutin.

Listening to Arch talk lore is like hearing a funny friend tell us about his favorite stuff from the setting. It's grand. Oculus Imperia and Baldermort are higher production value and amazing, but sometimes you just want to listen to a friend. And you don't get the deep dives like Arch's Badab series anywhere else.

@@ieuanhunt552 youtube is big enough for all three. Plus I like to compare arch's perspective of the lore to lutiens

If you like that consept, you have to read the final battel in "The Forever War" by Joe Haldeman.

That has been the main draw behind Warhammer 40,000. You can mix Medieval Knights with Starships and it would be believable. But now Garbage Wreckshop wants it to be $tar War$ and sell out to Di$ney.

Glad Dune is contributing to this with its revival of sword & “shield” combat! ;D

@@UGNAvalon Dune is contributing to this? Gee Dubs looted Dune 40 years ago.

@@bopaintsminis True but the recent movie is one of the best for sword and energy shield combat I've seen.

Brettonia on suicide watch.

You should be far more concerned about the kriegs guardsmen breeding....

Xeno mounts for Rough Riders. Why not give Death Riders a Pegasus mount?

The gryphs would just be flying above in order to find new targets to stampede. (And to avoid getting backstabbed commissar-style…)

@@chesterbonaparte6787 Especially because shovels are perfectly makeable by old world technology.

Queues up thunder horse!

That would be riding a hell drake.

never

Except this statement makes precisely zero sense. Any idea how much fodder horses eat? During WWI almost one third of the total volume of the ENTIRE British Logistics train was taken up by horse fodder. The stuff ain't heavy, but it IS bulky. Also, modern large breeds of horses cannot live on hay or grass alone, they quickly starve if that is all they are fed, so they need supplements to that in the form of oats, bran and other cereals. The huge volume of logistics required to feed their horses is the very reason why by 1939 the British Army as a whole, and the BEF in particular were completely Mechanised or motorised. Yes, transporting fuel has its issues, but it is actually less volume intensive than horse fodder..... ANYONE who has had any experience with modern large horse breeds would be pissing themselves with laughter whenever anyone says such horses require no logistics.... Now, granted the Death Corps mounts are not your typical horses, however, nothing removes one very important fact, the amount an organism needs to eat is directly correlated to two things, its size, and the speed of its metabolism. Death Korps mounts will need to eat, a lot, now it may well be that they could eat pretty much any vegetable matter, and I will give you that one, however they still need large quantities of it.

@@alganhar1 I suppose then that unless mentioned, the imperium has found a way around the logistical problem of horse fodder. It's the only way.

@@alganhar1 unless the geneforged stomach and intestines of the moun are ridicusly efficient unlike most hervivores, thats why they eat that much. they do not get full payload for their food. they probably do not shit as often and get high energy for mass. leaving them able to live of the land and nutrient paste carryied on small containers.

@@alganhar1 That is fair. However in the case of the Krieger horses, Couldn't they feed them... shall we say, "Unprocessed Corpse Starch"

Lasguns can be recharged in the field while ammunition has to be manufactured which the Mechanicus has a monopoly. Easier to recharge a battery than make a bullet.

It's a sign, get your gasmask and shovel.

Subconscious is cool huh?

@@ornu01 For the Emperor.

only 10 here so far but many other rough riders to ride with them :)

thats... a lot of money unless you cast your own or printed them yourself? either way, gotta love running down chaos marines on "horses" that are just as tough as they are xD

@@AnikaJarlsdottr they are real paid for them myself

@@killerkriegsman85 hey, if you can afford it, good on you ^w^

@@AnikaJarlsdottr 3 Earthshaker cannon, 15 crew, 3 Armageddon basilisk, 3 Artemia hellhounds, 2 hadies drills,20 Grenadiers, 26 engineers,9 mars pattern leman Russ tanks, Shadowsword, 100 infantry ,2 centaur artillery vehicles, 6 sentinels, Malcador with battle cannon, 9 heavy weppons teams and 2 command squads.

Wait. THEY GOT RID OF THEM?!

@@tefras14 Only Krieg has riders now, the rest of the guard doesn't. They got legended

@@TheAlterspark For fucks sake. Warhammer 40K is going to be just space marines and generic soldiers the way this is going

@@tefras14 female space marines obviously, need to get on that trend maybe some they/themhoods?

@@tarektechmarine8209 Sororitas exist

In the grimdark future of the 42nd millennium, there can be no victor.

@@otaviolobo7989 there is no victory, no mercy, no respite, there is only a galaxy ablaze in WARRR!

lmao! I can see Arch dabbling in Malice worship.

and then finding out that they dont know what retreat means and think it means banzi instead or something

Picture this: An elephant that’s been hollowed out, its torso replaced with a small weapons platform, maybe some mounted lasguns, and an autocannon on the top. Then just to top it off, there’s a grenade launcher in their trunks.

@@omegawilliam95s36 A cyborg Elephant? Why not just leave it as an elephant, but give it enhanced intelligence so that it can act as a mobile crew less tank

Greetings! Preiss algorithm gods!

More happy gask mask noises in the background along with sharpening shovels.

for being the goodest of boys today the horses get double rations. *Happy gas mask noises to follow*

Underrated comment.

Mammals are more weather resistant

Bitches love horses.

@@NateMcBrady dude, they have floating tanks. I'm sure the mechanicus can figure out a heated blanket.

...elaborate?

That sounds like the kind of shit the magus biologis would do.

Sounds like a Krieg thing

They are now attracted to shovels

The Mechanicus has the Cybermastiffs.

They will release the good bois

Since there are examples of Russes going fast AF there is a theory that the official "maximum" speed was set in the factory because that's how you discourage running away and, what's much more important, that's how you make fuel consumption more efficient.

@@kronos661 sounds about right. Governors very much a thing in military vehicles. Mostly because troops do stupid when they have fast stuff to play with. With 40k building methods. They probably don't even know the governor's on the engine in the first place anymore.

@@sethgilcrist8088 Most people. I think that mechanicus more than less knows and there are people who know that if you do sth than russ goes faster because on the previous one they had it shot off or something and the ride got faster.

@@kronos661 I think it would have gone like this. So we took a hit in the engine compartment and boy did it make the machine spirit mad. Why I've never had the Russ charge the enemy so fast.

I can only think of three vehicles in the US army with governors. A Stryker, an M1, & a HEMMT. Everything else just hits a (shitty) top speed because of a lack of power.

sigh, nowhere does it say they need commissars to prevent them from charging too soon. meme lore =/= actual lore. commissars are there for the officers and not to stop them charging too soon, but remind them of their flanking units (as leading and fighting from the front leads to over-concentration on the immediate enemy)
