About

Death Korps of Krieg

The Death Korps of Krieg is one of the most iconic regiments of the Astra Militarum, known for their grim determination, unyielding discipline, and willingness to die in service to the God-Emperor of Mankind.

Origins

• Homeworld: Krieg, a desolate and irradiated planet in the Segmentum Tempestus.
• Background: Krieg was once a thriving Imperial world, but a devastating civil war broke out when the ruling class rebelled against the Imperium. The loyalists, led by Colonel Jurten, launched a nuclear campaign to reclaim the planet, reducing it to a radioactive wasteland.
• Legacy: After centuries of brutal trench warfare, the loyalists emerged victorious. The survivors adopted a mindset of penance, vowing to repay their planet’s perceived betrayal by producing generations of soldiers to serve the Imperium.

Characteristics

• Trench Warfare Experts: The Death Korps specializes in siege warfare, trench battles, and attrition, often deployed in grueling campaigns.
• Relentless Discipline: They are fearless in combat, willing to charge into certain death without hesitation.
• Appearance: Recognizable by their gas masks and greatcoats, reminiscent of World War I-era soldiers.
• Doctrine: Their motto could be summarized as "Victory through sacrifice". They place little value on individual lives, focusing solely on achieving the mission.

Hammer of War

The phrase "Hammer of War" is not specifically tied to the Death Korps but is a common thematic term in Warhammer 40,000, often referring to the unrelenting force of the Imperium's military might. In the context of the Death Korps, it symbolizes:

• Implacable Offense: The Death Korps’ preferred tactics, involving overwhelming artillery barrages, infantry charges, and a focus on wearing down enemies.
• Unstoppable Sacrifice: The notion that no cost is too great to achieve victory for the Emperor.
