Got to love it when the commissars are the only sane ones in a regiment. Happens with the Moridian Iron Guard too. "What commissar? You dont want to slowly walk towards the enemy's firing line while firing by rank? YOU HERETIC!!!" *blam!*
It's the reason why Kreig Guardsman only have Commisars and Officers from their own world and they aren't shared with other worlds. Other Officers don't get enough men killed for them to be considered devout by the Krieg guardsmen and Krieg officers get too many men killed in normal regiments causing moral to break rapidly.

@@Eddneton94 Well, think of it this way: 99% of Imperial Guard commanders could be perfectly competent, 99% of the time the Adeptus Administratum and Adeptus Munitorum could get everything together and get the equipment where it's needed, 99% of the time the Imperial Navy could be there in appropriate force to support ground operations, and 99% of the time the Adeptus Astartes could work alongside local forces to support them and achieve objectives complimentary to theirs. Even if this 99% degree of appropriate support and adequate preparation was upheld across the Imperium, there would still be thousands of worlds, trillions of people, and trillions of tons of equipment that were completely and utterly lost simply because of how many war fronts and how many conflicts the Imperium is in simultaneously. Even if everything was running at 99% efficacy, the number of accidents, losses, and mistimed orders would be so many that there would still be plenty to look at to justify a reputation for things going wrong. That's almost the perfect explanation of 40k in general: it's so big that in the end it doesn't matter how well one person does things, somewhere else just by sheer probability somebody is going to fuck it up. TL;DR: The Galaxy is big, and even if 99% of the time everything went right that 1% of the time things went wrong would account for losses of manpower, equipment, and planets reaching well into the Trillions.
Hell, the 19th still deserve respect for an epic death. For them to have held out against Chaos space marines, let alone the Death Guard for that long. I can't remember the book, but, even the Brazen Minotaurs and Raven Guard (I think) had their hands full fighting blight marines. For mere mortals to have held out that long is a feat. Kudos to the Death Korps, honor to the 19th!
Plus, every dead plague marine is a huge loss for the Death Guard. No matter how superhuman, well equipped, and experienced you are, some random 24 year-old with a melta gun has the potential to kill you. And that is hilarious.

@@Elenrai so in a way it's similar to the trio of Remembrancers in the Thousand Sons HH Book? I ask cause i liked them, along with Magnus who i believe to be a true loving and caring father figure over his legion, as if they were literally a thousand sons of his.

now this is why I love 40K with it's apocalypse size battles gruesome Carnage full on over the top Madness that will just simply destroy lesser universes, And this is what a Monday -Saturday at most to what they're normally used to, it just puts a smile on my face.
It's worth noting that the 19th's position would have had an at least workable line of withdrawl had at least that bridge to the starport been left intact by the Dark Angels.
Exactly why the Dark Angels blew it up. Can't be too helpful to the Imperium. Has me thinking the Dark Angels are as loyalist as the Alpha Legion are traitor.
Seems like the placement of the 1st LK where the 30th was, in a piecemeal fashion, is somewhat similar to what the British did during ww1 when rotating out units with “fresh” units. Essentially frontline troops would fight then once the second line troops arrived, the former first line troops would move to the rest area in the rear whilst those who were in the rest area move up to take the now vacant second line before they in time take the position of the first line.
No where near as much actual battle lore, wouldn't be the same quality as vraks. My guess is his next big lore thing will be Vilgus when that shit show is over.
@@nikoslav You're part of the minority. This series has done really well view wise for arch. Not saying that your opinion is wrong, just that you differ from the majority of viewers. I do agree that he should do more of the primarchs though, Those videos would be fucking awesome. Arch fully explaining the back story for magnus just makes me want to laugh preemptively
TP3 seems to be more of a Area-denial weapon than a siege breaker. Like a minefield in gas-form. Perfect to cover a retreat, but utterly useless as an offensive weapon.
I'd noticed lately how over the last few episodes the number of comments about how tough the Krieg Guards had gone down a fair bit. But they're back now.
Honestly the lord commander should have just told the Ecclesiarchy that they won’t be given command of the army because the war on the planet is entirely their fault for electing a chaos worshipper to the position of cardinal
Vraks: *performs massive ritual to summon chaos astartes* Death guard: *sees planet loaded with chemical and biological weapons* "we are here because papa loves you"
My guess would be predecessor, though it would probably be useful as hell against a Tyranid position. My bet is the stockpiles are from the end of the Horus Heresy, when they were having to dig the Iron Warriors out of their forts around the Eye of Terror.
*Krieg officer* ok men I need raise hand on who want to join 19th line core to safe guard the first line core there going be 100% chance that your going to die.*99.99% of krieg troop raise their hand the .01% who did not had no hand to raise but making a lot of noise to join*
I like how virtually any other mortal force in the galaxy would have just instantly shattered in the position the 19th Regiment was in. But the DKoK still made the God dammed death guard "bleed" for it.
If it wasnt for the fact they dont play well with others; you could put the krieg, catachans and cadians together on a campaign and nothing would stop them haha
Imagine the Tau trying to fight the Death Korp. "Why the fuck are you charging me, in my fucking Riptide, with a fucking pig sticker," "Because I can't gut you with my Trench Knife if I don't come closer!!!!!!"
The Mordian Iron Guard could rival them in the discipline department, perhaps exceeded by the Imperial Fists. (with their rear-embedded sticks) | 3:39 - Isn't that the way of the red shirt? Especially THESE red shirts. | 12:40 - It's why the Sisters of Battle were formed. | 16:29 - The Celestial Lions understood this much. | 18:20 - Sounds like the England football team manager job or...pretty much any high level US government job right now. | 20:28 - That's why they're there! | 26:25 - The Sons of gamma-irradiated Conan the Barbarian. | 27:28 - The Death Guard, spreading Nurgle's "love" since the Horus Heresy. | 37:20 - They were tough to take down BEFORE they turned to Nurgle.

Its only mentioned in a total of two sentences and then it is glossed over, but the Ravenor books are quite interesting simply because of the tertiary lore deposits they contain, it is quite interesting to see how the author managed to actually make an interesting cast of characters that interact in a manner more entertaining and occasionally more logical fashion then the space marines in the horus heresy did
@@Elenrai so in a way it's similar to the trio of Remembrancers in the Thousand Sons HH Book? I ask cause i liked them, along with Magnus who i believe to be a true loving and caring father figure over his legion, as if they were literally a thousand sons of his.
@@zachsmith1676 I cannot say, but as it happens I am about to buy that audio book so I can listen to it while I am at work (I spend way too much money on audio books, HELP! XD), I will get back to you in a day or so and tell you my answer :D
Death Guard: * *deploys experimental chemical weapons* *
Death Korps: "Finally, a worthy opponent! Our battle shall be legendary!"
41:03 looking at the entire picture, I can’t help but imagine that that Guardsman on the left is like “can you belieeeeve this shit?”
Kreig commander: "Hell has arrived men get prepared!"
Kreig Guardsmen:" Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!" promptly fixing bayonets.
"Fix bayonets!"
"The acid melted them, sir."
"Very well. Fix melted metal blobs!"
"Sir, yes, sir!"

Krieg Guardsmen are probably too zealous for even the most devoted Inquisitor to handle.
@Random Imperial Guard Kreig guardsmen getting a chance to join the Emperor in eternal battle, I think they be come even more suicidal
15:20 ...And now I'm picturing The All Guardsmen Party with Kriegsmen.
God, I want to play that.
*polishes bayonet in a erogeneous way with heightened speed*
I polished my weapon's bayonet so hard that I accidentally discharged before ready

Polish your shovels you peasants.
Nineteenth Siege Regiment!
You will delay the enemy until the last grenade is thrown, the last laspack is drained, the last bayonet is dulled and the last of your men have given their lives to the God Emperor!
**heavy gasmask breathing intensifies**
Painting up my Death Guard Kill Team while listening to this. The part with my brethren and their new found gassy toy brought a big ol nurgly smile on my face :D
Commander: you’ve been ordered to withdraw.
Kreig guardsman: well I’ve just stuck the bayonet in the bastard, you want me to take it out right now?
Hey Arch I hope everything is ok now and you got your RL in full control. Thanks for the great addition and during your spotlight saying you are no where done. NYC thanks you for more awesome Lore.
Side not did you ever hear back from GW about selling some of this beautiful art?
What happened IRL?
Wait what happened?
@@tulipalll In the comments section of the last siege of Vraks video he said that RL kept getting in the way of him releasing two videos that week. That is all I know though.
@@elysiankentarchy1531 ok. I wonder if it's business concerns or family.
As Elisan said in his last video he said their was RL issues and that's why we didn't get 2 videos.
Man, when it rains in 40k, it really pours, huh?
Mostly in blood
Imagine having to be the poor fucker at the top who has to fix this galaxy...
@@arfbark3924 at the top, do you mean the high lords of terra? Cause they did fuck all till guilliman booted their asses outta office.
@@Jaghatai_Kahn After he ranted about how f--k all they literally did for the last years. And then they whined while he was imprinting his big primarch boot up theirs.
And it rains good old sulfuric acid at that
The amount of times the word “death” is said in this video is incredibly metal.
Remember loyal citizens of the Empire, "It can ALWAYS get worse!"
It's not like I'm gay for the siege of Vraks or anything
We wouldn't blame you LOL
Assigning gender to a youtube series seems a bit, stupid...
That being said. *Fixes bayonet*
Cardinal Xaphan: "Shit! Shit! Shit! We need reinforcements, like, yesterday!"
Arkos: "I got you fam"
...
Zhufor: "BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE!"
Nurglites: "Hey look, chemical weapons, noice! Grandpa will be so happy with me!"
Arkos: "Aight, ima head out to mess with Kreig, you kids figure things out here"
Cardinal Xaphan: "Ffuuuuuu--"
now this is why I love 40K with it's apocalypse size battles gruesome Carnage full on over the top Madness that will just simply destroy lesser universes, And this is what a Monday -Saturday at most to what they're normally used to, it just puts a smile on my face.
It's worth noting that the 19th's position would have had an at least workable line of withdrawl had at least that bridge to the starport been left intact by the Dark Angels.
It do be like that 😂
Exactly why the Dark Angels blew it up. Can't be too helpful to the Imperium. Has me thinking the Dark Angels are as loyalist as the Alpha Legion are traitor.
I've just dodged spending the evening with my in laws, about to go home from the pub... And it's vraks video. Praise the God Emporer!
privacy first good man
You see the Emperor does protect
Clearly the Emperor protected!!
Praises be to the Emperor
Seems like the placement of the 1st LK where the 30th was, in a piecemeal fashion, is somewhat similar to what the British did during ww1 when rotating out units with “fresh” units. Essentially frontline troops would fight then once the second line troops arrived, the former first line troops would move to the rest area in the rear whilst those who were in the rest area move up to take the now vacant second line before they in time take the position of the first line.
Well, siege of vraks is basically battle of verdun is spehhhs
id love to see a video/short series on the orphean war as it is one of the more detailed battles with necrons. love your videos and work
When you are done with this series you should do one on the 13th black crusade
No where near as much actual battle lore, wouldn't be the same quality as vraks. My guess is his next big lore thing will be Vilgus when that shit show is over.
this has been boring af and I wish he'd made lore videos about other factions of the army, or about the primarchs maybe (like he did for konrad)
What about one on Spiky Tits? (Magnus the Red)
@@nikoslav You're part of the minority. This series has done really well view wise for arch.
Not saying that your opinion is wrong, just that you differ from the majority of viewers.
I do agree that he should do more of the primarchs though, Those videos would be fucking awesome. Arch fully explaining the back story for magnus just makes me want to laugh preemptively
@@Benthesniperof8 then I wish he'd decide to virtue signal and listen to le minority.
The majority will always suck up and like whatever he uploads.
Press F to pay respects to the 19th.

Your lore videos keep me fighting my own battles, you’re the best. Thanks for the Thursday stories!
Your work in this series is amazing sir! Keep it up!
TP3 seems to be more of a Area-denial weapon than a siege breaker.
Like a minefield in gas-form.
Perfect to cover a retreat, but utterly useless as an offensive weapon.
Never clicked a notification so fast
There a guy who clicked on the notification so fast he froze pornhub
Sacrifices necessary for linking up the 1rst Line Korps with the 30th you say?
Do I hear delighted gasmask noises?
Fantical shovel waving
This is another fantastic episode! I look forward to every week to hearing the latest news from the Vraks battlefield.
I'd noticed lately how over the last few episodes the number of comments about how tough the Krieg Guards had gone down a fair bit. But they're back now.
Keep calm and Krieg for the Golden Throne.
Honestly the lord commander should have just told the Ecclesiarchy that they won’t be given command of the army because the war on the planet is entirely their fault for electing a chaos worshipper to the position of cardinal
Vraks: *performs massive ritual to summon chaos astartes*
Death guard: *sees planet loaded with chemical and biological weapons* "we are here because papa loves you"
These videos make the long drive to school and home again bearable, thank you!
TP3 seems like a precursor or successor to the Acid in the Hellfire Rounds
My guess would be predecessor, though it would probably be useful as hell against a Tyranid position. My bet is the stockpiles are from the end of the Horus Heresy, when they were having to dig the Iron Warriors out of their forts around the Eye of Terror.
YEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Been waiting for this with baited breath!
*Krieg officer* ok men I need raise hand on who want to join 19th line core to safe guard the first line core there going be 100% chance that your going to die.*99.99% of krieg troop raise their hand the .01% who did not had no hand to raise but making a lot of noise to join*
I like how virtually any other mortal force in the galaxy would have just instantly shattered in the position the 19th Regiment was in. But the DKoK still made the God dammed death guard "bleed" for it.
If it wasnt for the fact they dont play well with others; you could put the krieg, catachans and cadians together on a campaign and nothing would stop them haha
Imagine the Tau trying to fight the Death Korp.

Arch. I would love to see you do something on the Tanith First and Only. Perhaps one day! Love listening to your videos btw.
The Mordian Iron Guard could rival them in the discipline department, perhaps exceeded by the Imperial Fists. (with their rear-embedded sticks) | 3:39 - Isn't that the way of the red shirt? Especially THESE red shirts. | 12:40 - It's why the Sisters of Battle were formed. | 16:29 - The Celestial Lions understood this much. | 18:20 - Sounds like the England football team manager job or...pretty much any high level US government job right now. | 20:28 - That's why they're there! | 26:25 - The Sons of gamma-irradiated Conan the Barbarian. | 27:28 - The Death Guard, spreading Nurgle's "love" since the Horus Heresy. | 37:20 - They were tough to take down BEFORE they turned to Nurgle.
remind me to never piss of the persons who handle the delivery of ammunition/suplies.. not a good idea
No shit your just now learning that lesson.
its a reminder, just in case I forget it.. it has happened
@@toastertech1181 duly noted
Good, good. I will finish first infantry squads and tanks of 143rd before this series ends :)
Keep it on Arch I need more videos of Vraks while painting my regiment :)
This arrived in my notification and I resisted immediate gratification, nurturing my expectations until I got to the gym, plugged my earphones in, started off, and thirty minutes in the link went down....
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow, when this siege started I did not expect an all-out chaos house party :D All that`s missing is some Emperor`s Children and Thousand Sons to join in :D
Damn 19th..... That was one hell of an ending.....

also instead of "retake the city of vraks" they should have said "free the sisters of battle".. the waifus are more important than some gray scenary after all c:

*excited mask noises from all the regimental commanders*
Commissar shots one commander "sir i think that on regimental commander was not excited enough"
also, first comment
that sems kind of wastful

He was not *praising the emperor * enough, that's heresy
@@captainpuffinpuffinson4769 no he wasn't happy enough for a suicide mission
Captain Puffin Puffinson Commisars are commonly more cowardly then your common Kriegsman from what I understand actually
you mean the poor Comminsar was shot for not being excited.
Yes more lore for the lore gods and scrolls for the scroll throne!
No! No, No, No, No, NO! Damn you Arch! Damn you and your increasingly effective, impressive and entrancing grasp of the art of episodic story telling.
You are not allowed to have a life! I expect to wake up in the morning to find the last 5 or 6 episodes available for me to watch, compiled in a convenient playlist, so that I may finally learn of the end result.
You must relinquish this information, for I cannot stop having these... constant, horrifying and nearly heretical nightmares concerning the fates of so many of our divine Emperor’s loyal and courageous guardsman of Krieg.
By the emperor, these guardsman deserve to have their story finished! These heroes, who have given everything, patiently wait for us to reach the end so they may finally embark upon their eternal shore leave to join the emperor.
Hear me Arch! Have you no compassion?! Let them rest!

But seriously. This shit has had me hooked from the beginning and your delivery is improving every week. Thank you so much for creating this content (I know he didn’t fully create it but you guys know what I mean) for the thousands and thousands of us across the world to tune into, escape into and enjoy.
From Dallas, Texas, I say thank you sir and please keep them coming!
I'm so glad I didn't find arches vids until he was done with the siege if varks
After a good ol' 23h shift at the manufacturum, nothing is better as the Vraks series.

Oh hey, holding a line. Almost like every single Kriegsman was born for this or something.

19th siege regiment. poor bastards, they recieve a brutal hammer blow during advancing on 2nd line didnt they?
I thought about how much I wanted a 40k lore video today. This came out just as I was about to sleep. Am I a psyker?
Maybe you’re secretly an Ork, tapping into the stupidly massive Ork psychic power?
*executes on grounds of being heretical untrained psyker*
*calls for a black ship for a pickup*
2:29 No soldier requires “ammunition” when they have there trusty bayonet or even better a shovel. Mr Bridge Man
I am all for the idea of the krieg to be inquisitors and closer to grey knights
Two videos mere hours apart Arch? You favour us greatly this day!
I wonder what Malcador the Sigilite would think of his Inquisition if he could see it now. ;D
Good for the 19th...lasting 48 hours against the Deathguard 👏
Krieg Guardsman: What do you mean we have had a 50% loss in our force? That means we are winning right? Yes im pretty sure we are winning.
Just wanted you to know these awesome videos finally gave me the motivation to start a new Death Korp of Krieg army dropped a little bit more money than i should have but totally worth it lol
Keeps watching, "man this sucks, it cant possibly get" *its raining chaos marines* "I spoke to soo*
