Death Korps of Krieg
The Death Korps of Krieg are a regiment of the Imperial Guard in the Warhammer 40,000 universe.
Introduction
The Planet Krieg was once the site of a rebellion against the Imperium. In retaliation, the people of Krieg subjected their world to 500 years of atomic cleansing to root out the rebellious factions.
The Death Korps are fearless warriors, never flinching even in the face of unavoidable death, which they see as atonement for the rebellion. They see their deaths fighting in war as penance for the heresy of their ancestors. They are a dedicated trench and siege warfare force and perform best in wars of attrition.
Appearance-wise, the Death Korps are similar to the Steel Legion, but have darker colors, and their masks usually have a skull motif. Of all the regiments of the Guard, they are the most gloomy and dark, both in appearance and in spirit. They bear a strong resemblance to the Imperial German Army in World War I, in tactics (trench warfare) and appearance.
Military
Unlike most other Imperial Guard regiments, their engineers are a squad and are upgraded with shotguns. They have tanks that have a lot of upgrades, such as the Arkurion. They have a lot more firepower for their tanks than the Cadians. For example, the equivalent of the Cadian Basilisk to a Minotaur or a Cadian Chimera Transport to a Gorgon. Unlike most other regiments, they do not have elite squads like the Ogryn or Stormtroopers. Instead, their shock troopers are given powerful weapons like Bren or a Meltagun.
