DEATH KORPS OF KRIEG

Description

Death Korps of Krieg – The Unyielding Line of the Imperium

The Death Korps of Krieg are perhaps the most iconic and fanatically devoted regiments of the Astra Militarum (Imperial Guard). Hailing from a world devastated by nuclear war, the Kriegers are defined by their grim determination, absolute obedience, and willingness to sacrifice themselves utterly for the Emperor. This multipart plastic kit finally brings these legendary troopers to the standard Warhammer 40,000 range, allowing players to field these stoic soldiers in their armies.

Lore: Penance Through Sacrifice

The history of the Death Korps is one of collective penance. After their home world rebelled against the Imperium centuries ago, the loyalist faction launched a devastating war that rendered the planet a radioactive wasteland. Ever since, the descendants of Krieg have sought atonement through relentless, suicidal warfare, believing that death in service is the only way to cleanse their ancestral sin. They are masters of siege warfare, trench combat, and are utterly fearless, viewing life as a cheap commodity to be spent in the Emperor’s name. Their distinctive appearance—gas masks, greatcoats, and helmets—is necessary to survive their toxic home world and has become synonymous with their grim resolve.

Battlefield Role: Stalwart Infantry and Special Weapons

This plastic kit builds 10 stalwart Death Korps of Krieg troopers, forming the core infantry unit for your Astra Militarum forces. In the game, Krieg units excel at holding objectives, weathering heavy fire, and launching relentless, close-quarters assaults. Their high leadership and ability to shrug off casualties make them a reliable, if expendable, backbone for any Imperial commander.

The kit is highly customizable and allows for a variety of specialist roles within the squad:

• Standard Troopers: Armed with utilitarian lasguns, the standard weapon of the Imperial Guard, they provide reliable, massed firepower.
• Special Weapons: The kit includes components to equip troopers with specialized armaments, such as plasma guns, meltaguns, or grenade launchers, allowing the squad to counter armored threats or elite infantry.
• Command Options: Components are included to build a Sergeant or Watchmaster, often equipped with a chainsword or bolt pistol, to lead the squad.
