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.
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
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. 😉

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.
25:55- It’s unfortunate that GW didn’t feel the same about not abandoning them!?! You know, since they have never made any official models with DKOK on horses!!!
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.
Does the korp have their version of a blitzkrieg ive only ever heard or seen it written that the kriegs are attritional forces there to bleed the enermy dry surely they are not so singular so black and white in matters of warfare
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.
