They Were HORRIFIED At What The KRIEG MEDICS Were Doing! - Quartermasters Of The Death Korps In 40k 

Ah. Excellent. Time to relisten to it again

There's a bit in the book cadian honour that I think you could do a video on. A praetorian insults the cadians and gets punched by a cadian general at the start

Yeah, hell of a book, in more than one way, hope their new Vraks book is upto the same level.

It was the first warhammer book I’ve ever read, I love it.

Bro I need it

PDF: “Fair enough but what next are you gonna cut up them up and eat them too at what point do you lose you’re humanity and become more like the Ad Mech?”

​@@Channel-23sKrieg: "When I stop breathing just like these servants of the Emperor. When that happens feel free to take whatever I hav left if it can save you or another who is still breathing too."

@@Channel-23s ´´yes´´

“Wtf he gonna fuss over? He dead!” - Krieg medic, probably

@@Channel-23s KRIG:ma'am corps starch is our main food source nothing goes to waist no death is without purpose

Y'all think we got the time and budget for that ?! HELL NAH !

'You see a blood bank?'

Guardsman: the body is only sacred while a soul reside in it *lights a cigarette and blows out a cloud of smoke* their souls are with the empero now, that in the ground is just meat and blood.

@@Nightmare704RYhardcore. I love this statement.

I have great respect for the dead and hope to join them very soon. But until i do, these particular dead can serve the emperors will one last time. Which i am even more enthusiastic about than dying

Hey you can do IT after you drain bodies from blood and transfer organs...

That was my first instinct, cuz 40k, but they're probably taking it to use for transfusions, so a little more practical and a little less grimdark for the sake of grimdark.

​@@ngageman1988 Do it, and you won't be finished before being done in by the survivors.😅

​@@thewhiteknightman Grimdark for the sake of grimdark? That's grimderp.😅

How do you think the main imperial standard issue ration called "corpse starch" came into being for all walks of life to enjoy.?

Kinda like stacking dead bodies of your friends and enemies to be used like sand bags or used as improvise cover against bullets.

@@tnganthavee100I wouldn’t be surprised if they did that tbh

If my dead body could save my comrade from a hail of enemy fire and give him a chance to make it home my corpse would smile.

​@@Proditum-dt4vz No, your corpse would be looking like a lump of pulled pork covered in hot sauce with absolutely no ability to smile because it is dead af.

Oddly enough, that’s a wholesome way of describing organ donation.

In the 41st millennium, everyone is an organ donor.

True

Nice comeback!

“…but those corpses had the zombie plague.”

May those who march serve the emperor, even in death

@@theguybehindyou4762nothing a shovel in good-condition couldn’t fix

Honestly yea in situations like this you got to make do with what you got better to take blood that was gonna go to waste anyways then leave it and let another soldier die of blood loss

@@theguybehindyou4762 they were killed by necrons not zombies

Cuz he don’t got Emprah on the brain.

Most of them are actually like that, the idea that Krieg are mindless lunatics incapable of reasoning is just from memes, now if the guardsman insisted on stopping the medic then he might get shot.

Sounds like they also need every one of the living, too, if the situation is that dire.

Well Krieg trooper being mindless lunatics incapable of reasoning are just from the memes. Most stories depict them as fully capable of human interaction and logic. I remembered in a book that people can see Krieg guardsmen chatting at the dining hall. The difference is they took pragmatism to the extreme making them borderline inhuman, a trait they share with the Catachan and other deathworlders.

​@@minhducnguyen9276 Can you really blame them for taking pragmatism to the extreme while mixing it with a extreme martyr complex though? Considering what happened to Krieg?

If I say "no", how fast will it take to get pummeled by a hundred shovels?

@@magnusbjarni three seconds, the forces are at rest and only the medic is close to her

@@albertlofling7310 3 seconds is an over estimation more like 0.01 seconds before the bonk of shovel

@@StarKnight619assuming one isn’t thrown at Mach fuck, those things are sharp as fuck to

Dreadnought Voice:i... Cannot...move

Imperator

Isnt Emperor in latin Imperator

So they can be (possibly) turned into Corpse-starch in case they get low on food.

​@@246vili Which doesn't happen as often as memes love to depict.. The Imperium has regular friggin food for it's armies (what the hell are all the agri-worlds for otherwise..) Corpse-starch is another one of those last resort things. Unless you're a skitarii. .

@@septimus7524 Very true. But then again, if you're fighting the enemy while cut off from reinforcements and supplies for a long time, "last resort things" can eventually become a necessity.

@@246vili fair enough. In brutal battles and seiges where supplies are scarce/cut off cannibalism isn't unheard of. Russians and German troops were recorded to resort to cannibalism in the worst days for each side during the battle of Stalingrad.

@@246vili Yeah that's fair, truly desperate times call for the most desperate measures However I'd argue something like straight up cannibalism really requires some EXTREME extremes. I know at least I personally would starve to death before even thinking about eating human flesh. Could just be my own personal bias though, as I quite frankly just despise the very concept of human cannibalism with a genuine hatred, in fiction or otherwise. Like diddling kids, going cannibal is something humans just do not come back from. We're just not supposed to eat each other, a fact nature itself made sure to make clear to us.

as brutal as it is, dying from hunger with a bunch of edible corpses around you when you could have made them into 100% safe food seems dumb

They cause WAY too much colateral damage to be called "efficient" but they'll get the win in the end for sure!

@@AlphagonOmegariusDoes the imperium really care about collateral damage? Since high collateral damage doesn’t mean you aren’t efficient, It means you aren’t fighting precision warfare.

@@ITCCC_V2 they're inefficient even for imperium's standars, they even get assigned special commisars so they don't waste that many human lives! XD. Don't get me wrong, i love these dudes, i like their over-eagerness to bring absoulte destruction over both themselves and the enemy, but they're NOT efficient by any standars (not even imperial)

​​@@ITCCC_V2 "does the Imperium care about collateral damage" you watching memes or something? Such damages can be beyond repair and will struggle in the long run and a lot of Inquisitors would say so.

I’d put the sisters of battle or the Catachan jungle fighters above the krieg in some situations, but for brutal, grinding attrition and siege warfare the krieg are supreme

1 Tau was killed by a lot of shovel bonking in Exodite.

@@meidyot1672 First the Kriegers make angry Pyro noises, then take turns pummeling the Tau while saying, "BONK!"

The fishmen would shit their pants at the dead men marching. I'd love to see them try diplomacy again and get an even worse shock.

​@@kattkatt6961 I could definitely see a tau delegation going to meet with the krieg commanders, who did agree to negotiations. Only for said commanders to be krieg line troops in officer uniforms to begin engaging the tau, only for the whole sector, friendly and enemy alike, being absolutely landscaped by artillery.

Ironically, the Tau and Krieg have somewhat similar world views. Both are devoted wholly to their cause. I could *easily* see a Firecaste medic doing the same, if their technology wasn't advanced enough to not warrant it. I know people like to hate on Tau, but the Firecaste are just as grimfaced and serious as the Krieg. They have an entire battlesuit formation dedicated to suicidal people who have lost their squad, to be thrown into the fray to die or create a breach.

Thank you.

To expand on it a little - PDF are effectively reserves. Since every planet tithes Guardsmen, those who didn't make the cut stay behind. It varies world to world, some PDF are pretty well trained and equipped, almost guardsmen themselves, others are little more than militias and volunteers. PDF are typically less experienced and less prepared than the active regiments of the guard.

*Planetary Desertion Forces

@@ambion19 A few planets even have PDF forces that are far better trained and equipped then the imperial guard, a few rare ones even having access to power armor and gene editing, not as good as space marines but still super soldiers compared to a guardsman, but obviously planets with reserve troops like that are exceedingly rare.

@@PhoenixT70 portable document format*

To my cynical side, that just sounds like the writer putting their personal sensibilities into the scene. Instead of writing the characters as they are or would actually be, they write FOR the characters. I'm only spitballing here. Haven't read the book yet. There are other possible explanations, of course.

@Skaldzerker I think ya hit the nail on the head with THAT one.

​@azraelknightquest5754 I guess for me it would primarily depend on the PDF trooper's response, but I'd still wager the interaction is the writer talking through the character to the audience. Cheers.

I mean tbf, the average PDF doesn't meet Warp demons, genestealers, or other true horrors on a regular basis Remember that the most common enemy of the Guard is the (often rebellious) civilian populace

@cyantile5490 For the most part, you aren't wrong. Don't forget, though, that the entire mythos surrounding Big E is that he and the faith in him is protecting the Imperium from those true terrors. They are generally known to exist, regardless of if they are ever encountered in the lifetime of 99% of your average humans. In this case, they had literally just finished fighting Flayed Ones. That said, the only reasons in universe I can imagine this particular trooper would react this way after seeing the Deathkorps in action are either post-adrenaline shock or a desperate psychological need to separate themselves from the evil of the Necrons.

"... go ahead. Try that. You'll die before you even get started."

That is what they do. Every natural child birth on Krieg gets blood drawn from it for use in the vitae wombs to prevent clone stock degradation.

Without degrading the genes themselves to the point of nonfunctionality.

I do like that theory if we go with the idea that krieg does clone, it isn't cannon but it is a good theory

​@@albertlofling7310The lore is very, very vague on precisely what "Vitae Womb" technology actually is. Some sort of quasi cloning farm would make sense, and explain how a nuclear hellscape of a planet like Krieg can afford to send 50+ *million* fully equipped soldiers (complete with armor, artillery, and gunships) off planet every single year. For context, the largest military on earth (numbers wise) is something like 4 million in the PLA. Thats from a country of 1.2 billion people. Now yes, Krieg is going to manage a slightly better efficiency than that, given it's non-warfare production needs are met by other planets, but when you factor in attrition rates from training (kriegers use live fire and live artillery) and the like, we're probably talking about the ability to *produce and export* more than fifteen times the largest army on earth every single year... one way or another, those rates aren't natural. Not with how small the base population is likely to be.

@@andrewgause6971 1 know this, 2 why are you counting one military from one country? Krieg is the planet it draws from and on top of this their entire society is about war, if antrhimg you should take the highest standing military populations during wartime across all of earths history and compare that

Idk why, seems like a better-than-average plan for 40k

Comander: "You are truely machine without any human feelings!" Magos: "Thanks. It's my goal but I'm not there yet."

Telling the equivalent of WW2 paratroopers that their dead friends are going to be turned into food to feed the rest of them would be so beyond the pale that it wouldn't even be considered. Imagine some bean counter going up to the 40k equivalent of Capt. Winters and telling him that his men would be ground up and served to the rest, you could imagine how that would go down.

Post-mortem. You basically said "Upper Arm." Technically you didn't say anything at all because what you said doesn't mean anything, but the closest thing would be upper-arm. The phrase you're looking for is post-mortem.

82DK no less, NO FORCE MORE LETHAL!!

No different then the zombie acopalies.

They're not really "medics". Krieg quartermasters have the task to run around and try to get every soldier who they deem "worth saving" back on their feet. The rest gets a bullet through the head. They do this to save precious medical supplies . Wiki: "the loyalists loathe to "waste" their precious supplies on soldiers with low chances of survival or which could not be readily returned to the battlefield"

How so? Keeping the non-lethally wounded going is exactly what they do.

Hey, SOMEONE needs to give all those OTHER Kriegers The Emperor's Mercy

Not the best reference since 82DK has a long story of being absolute jerks.

@@maxterrox1527 And? What does that have to do with anything I’ve just said?

​@@tsarindustries5273 You DO know that the 82DK Regiment from Foxhole is named after the 82nd Regiment from Krieg, right? Not the other way around.

@@carebloodlaevathein6732 "That’s a regiment from a game called foxhole that is Krieg inspired." - Me, 20 hours ago Besides, there's a Warden Insignia on his helmet if you can't figure out how to read properly.

​@@carebloodlaevathein6732 In the picture shown the 82dk soldier has a warden insignia on the helmet, it's a foxhole fan-art.

Yea I can't imagine most mature adults live so long.

Their clones

@@tomhenry897 sort of. They use the Vitae-Womb, the say its a little understood technology outside of Kreig to mass produce humans. While cloning is very wide spread and as understood as any other technology in 40k.

​@@MsJuno it was my understanding that Vita-Womb tech is strictly ILLEGAL & HERETICAL. but Krieg was the only exception to this rule and thus were allowed to use it, but to never, ever share it and or let other planets besides Krieg, use this tech?

​@@werewolfhunter1347it's not outright heretical, it's heavily frowned upon. If it gets into the wrong hands... You can imagine what kinda trouble that would bring.

For their troops, IT WAS. Their troops are well known for being under-supplied. Look at Ukraine, a full 4th of all the vehicles they get break down before they can even get to combat. They had to cannibalize 5 radar arrays to get even 1 to work in the first year of the fighting (it isn't much better now). This is just what we know. I have talked to Russians that are ex-military who now live in the states (retirement age) and the things they can tell you about are insane. They had to scavenge ammo and rations from the dead OFTEN. No supply was ever guaranteed for them as apparently logistics is bad all over Russia even for civilians let alone the military which has things 'go missing' more often than you would ever expect.

​​@@Nempo13 A wise man said it once, and I will say it again. Russia is a Third Rate Country with a Second Rate Military. Always has been, always will be.
