Couldn't help but notice your mentioning of the Death Korps charging with no fear. There is a reason for this. Listen to the lore about Krieg itself. In a nutshell, spoiled rich fucks felt they were overtaxed (waaaaa I don't get to build myself a new palace for my birthday) and overthrow the Imperium government. The highest ranking Imperium officer, a Colonel was ordered to hold Krieg at all costs and deal with the rebels by any means necessary. He was given locations of weapons and launch codes The "Liberation" army comes to his base and discovered the doors are welded shut. Then there is shaking and nuclear missiles launch into the sky, and come back down all over the planet The loyalists were prepared while the Liberators weren't. For 500 years Krieg fought a civil war underground and on the surface. When it was over, Krieg asked to rejoin the Imperium and had not one Imperial Guard Regiment as their tithe but 20 and volunteering for the worst war zones. The Death Korps are taught the importance of sacrifice for The Emperor. Whispers are told of Krieg soldiers being quickly grown from cloning, because they have no regard for their own lives. Serving the Emperor is their meaning in life.
Nobody really comments about hiw terrifying it is to have a giant wearing armor running at you in a hallway with a chainsaw sword and punching you to death.
I know I might be late but the horse models are nothing compared to the description of a horse from krieg which are genetically altered, bes fit to be built in the muscle tone of a fuckin grizzly bear. Hell I think those horses actually eat meat. If I recall from the books.
