Tbh, Shovels are more on the fandom's image for them. Lore-wise, their preferred melee weapons are bayonets and clubs/maces. With shovels being a desperate last-ditch weapon the same way wooden planks and improvised shivs are used. Edited: Clarified that they still use shovels, but are not their primary/preferred melee weapons still.
@xixviii7703 they have the hades tank for that. No reason to hand dig a trench especially during a way when the tank can do it way faster and then just follow behind setting it up
@@musicslug414 I mean, could be, but Kriegers also have Lasguns looking close to WW1/WW2 rifles and IIRC there are Laspistol patterns that don't have the bulky flashhider, so it could be either
@@Biblicallyaccurateseal will probably get 2 attacks instead of 1 like the las pistol if we compare the auto gun to the las rifle and use the same concept for the pistols
I absolutely adore that medic, they just look like someone whose seen an unparalleled amount of death and horror and has made peace with their inability to do much about it
I’m convinced that the horse gas mask doubles as a muzzle, there’s no way those claws aren’t attached to some horrible predator that stalks Krieg looking for new recruits to devour
The artillery is really cool. And you get 3 additional dudes. If you just want the cannon, you can put the guys on their own bases. I love models with this option.
The new Death Korps range and the Aeldarri models in particular are fantastic, and you have to love the bonkers wolf riding gobbos. A standout for me is the new Warp Spider Phoenix Lord - that model has a great sense of dynamism and manages to convey a suitably predatory arachnid aspect in a humanoid model. For the Krieg, all the models are great - the new special character, Death Riders, the Combat Engineers (shout out to the mini remote controlled mine), and the various field artillery and heavy weapon team options; all of them look awesome.
Tbh I wish the RC mine looked more like the tracked AT mine, the cyclops, like how it originally looked. Especially since Ukrainians have started using something similar against Russia
They could have been better. As someone just starting a Blood Angels army though, I still think the range is really great. :) It'll be a good army regardless!
@@reno239pleeeease, complaints about sculpts are like competative chat. For 99% of players it isn't actually relevent, and the army is going to look as good as the paint job.
I will not start a krieg army I will NOT START A KRIEG ARMY I MIGHT START BOTH A ELDAR AND KRIEG ARMY. I also just noticed the random base on the second death rider image good job GW XD
I think the Kill Team box IS the 10 man infantry squad, heck there's a good chance they'll just make a stripped down version of the box where they take the KT tokens and specialist upgrade sprue out
Not sure if anyone mentioned it, but all the tubes you see on horses are used to apply stimulants to the horse and the rider has the control over that.
I love the death riders, they pulled the "horse?" part just right and the artillery is perfect. Not a fan of how the Combat engineers looks more grenadiers though
What most people missed is that “stick” is actually the new PRIMARIS SHOVEL… It uses anti-gravitic technology to push the mud, instead of the FIRST BORN SPADE…
Ironically, that's how prehistoric horses' claws looked like, then it evolved into hooves... the beast was so small you wouldn't be able to mount them tho. edit: i think they had more fingers, but they general look was something like that.
@@ventgoblin330 I would say World War 1 was the inspiration. If you look up the picture from Codex: Imperial Guard, its a spread of about 40 or so sketches of different guardsmen. There's an Aztec guardsman...some kind of cowboy Guardsman, and a DKoK: their first appearance, to the best of my knowledge.
Oh damn, ages ago I got a forge world resin squad of krieg and I got as far as primer on them. About a year or so ago a friend sent me a ziplock bag full of steel legion(to be painted as kreig) infantry and heavy weapons. I stripped the paint and ordered bases. I no longer play the game, but I do enjoy slapping a bit of contrast on models once or twice a week to chip away at my old hobby well. Those new siege guns would certainly look great in a display case, if I ever paint what I have already. Once you quit gaming in a store, or every week at a friend's, and you let your white dwarf subscription expire, the fomo urge to buy buy buy does go away. Last GW models I paid for was the cursed city boxed game.
I've been into the actual hobby of 40k since the end of 7th. I am the most excited for this release that I have ever been for any release since getting into 40k.
The Marshall on his steed has a lot of details on his base. I like his laspistol aiming at unseen target while his sword is on his side. Commissar and Command Squad are quality. The Combat Engineers have the same style of the Grenadiers without their hotshot-lasguns and other special weapons. They should do a KT of them or have them as part of the DKoK elite units for WH40k.
@@jamesespinosa690 This is absolute copium lmao. As someone who owns both.. the sculpts are almost exactly the same and I even mix them in squads fine.
They really got me too. I originaly planned to have the Killteam boxes as a squad of spcial forces troops for my Cadian heavy Imperial Guard army, but now I think I need to rewrite my army background to include a lot more Krieg stuff. I'd love to get a full army of these.
Literally buying every single Krieg reveal. Every single one was perfection. I even pushed off getting Lord Solar. So happy i did as i now got *cooler* Lord Solar.
A bunch of these would make some really great base minis for Trench Crusade as well. The engineers especially would only really need the Aquilas shaving off.
You were right Kirioth the hair on the head is called a mane and the attention to detail on the model is incredible. I want one to lead my Helghast inspired Imperial Guard.
The mounts of the FW Death Rider minis were very long legged as well, the claws look unsettling fantastic they really do... it's been knocked out of the park
I mean, it's kinda why it's hard to truly hate GW. GW just erodes fanbase goodwill with slightly naff rulesets and price increases, WOTC erode goodwill in their fanbase by making questionable business decisions and actually ruining their game.
@@emzetkin1100 Yep agreed. I've been out of the hobby for over a year because of the general bad vibes, but releases like this make me want to come back.
Looks good. The melee Engineers are equipped just like lost and damned. Judging by the Heavy weapon flamer were not getting the two figure team again. Would love to see the Centaur back.
Technically kreig also got new plastic leman russes as well since they use alpha pattern which are almost the same as the new solar auxiliary leman russes
I look at that tiny little remote mine with the Krieg Engineers with a bit of excitement and envy. I've been wanting to convert my Scorpius tanks from the Admech into being screw propelled like that for a long time. Scale that up and put it on an Admech tank and it would he perfect.
When I see a miniature and I want to sculpt it it’s a good miniature. If I see a miniature and I sculpt it it’s a perfect miniature and let’s say I have been sculpting every evening since I saw the article on Warhammer community.
I've got 20 infantry plus a "command squad"-ish, it's 28 guys plus tech priest and converted commissar, and a dude in a tank. I have parts left over for 1 more guy but I think I used his specific head elsewhere now I don't have one that fits him. Really looking forward to this box, the fact Krieg were Resin only in the past really stopped me collecting them, but now I'm happy to commit to the army.
Absolutely LOVE IT! My Krieg shadowsword, leman destroyer and Krieg killteam have been very lonely holding a small corner (ok maybe not that small considering the baneblade chassis) of my shelves. I just hope there's still coming something more heavy, love the artillery, just doesn't feel chonky enough, like the earthshakers or Basilisk. Needs more TANK!
The horse has prosthethics, which implies that it was horribly injured and then operated on before getting nurtured back to health, which means horses in 40k are treated better than horses irl. That's fun.
I adore this release. I'd love to see how the Krieg cavalry compare to the Rough Riders and Admech Serberys. I also have hope that Guard will move past incentivizing heavy tank spam, and encourage more artillery, elite infantry, cavalry, and light tanks. Emphasizing basic lasweapons for the cavalry was a *great* choice. The Combat Engineers being equipped with autopistols also carry intriguing lore implications (what could be the tactical/logistical considerations?) The aeldari releases are also all bangers, as usual. The new Spider Lady diverges aesthetically a bit, from the rest of the Lords, but... she looks good enough to make up for it.
Heavy stubbers not autocanons lol kreig love their heavy stubbers this all takes me back to the seige of vraks which forgeworld did for 3 campaign books great read
The medic is reminiscent of Hellboy's colleagues! The medic collects blood from the dying don't forget 😮 Yes it's 'Frogging' on that marvellous Commissar. Do kreig need a Commissar? I was hoping for the standing officer but maybe later 😊
I will be getting all of these. Though, I actually want to give my krieg horse marshal a shotgun instead of a pistol. Buthe trench terrain builder stls I'll be getting, the trench crusade minis and terrain, the new solar auxilia tanks, and now the krieg, I want to go back to my original plan of making a table diorama of a trench war. I wanted to do that back when I first got into miniature painting back in 2019.
Time to save me pennies I've been waiting for this since killteam and now it's happening gonna try and get two of each of the main units and one of the command squad and marshal
As you said, I always wanted Kreig but the expense was prohibitive, I've just finished my new Cadian company based on a British infantry company, on top off the older Cadian army, now I will have to start again, me thinks a bank loan may be in order 😂
Only thing missing is an on-foot Marshal... Secondly, the tube's on the horses neck, it's stim injections. Current Death Rider FW kits have these drug injectors too. PCP and Shark Testosterone.

Once apona time kreig was just a different paint job of the Armageddon steel legion
And now people are modding Krieg models into Steel Legion.. the wheel turns
We'll have our day eventually
They were a sketch in Codex Imperial Guard 3rd Edition before the Steel Legion model in Codex Armaggedon that you are thinking of.
@@fjLKA the Armageddon models were sculpted in '99 so they still could have been the inspiration
@@ventgoblin330 I would say World War 1 was the inspiration.

I've been into the actual hobby of 40k since the end of 7th. I am the most excited for this release that I have ever been for any release since getting into 40k.
fine. FINE GW! I'LL MAKE A DEATH KORP ARMY!

The Combat Engineers have the same style of the Grenadiers without their hotshot-lasguns and other special weapons. They should do a KT of them or have them as part of the DKoK elite units for WH40k.
The Marshall's laspistol and power sword options works for the upper pose preference.
The medic needs an extra shovel, for those that did not make it...
I did not leave from that preview wanting. They showed off about a perfect amount of stuff and some really great stuff at that.
It was perfect, perfect, down to the minute detail.
Except the proportions. The krieg mini's look like trash compared to their resin counterparts. The new style of guns is also crap.
@@jamesespinosa690 This is absolute copium lmao. As someone who owns both.. the sculpts are almost exactly the same and I even mix them in squads fine.

Really enjoyed the video.
You were right Kirioth the hair on the head is called a mane and the attention to detail on the model is incredible. I want one to lead my Helghast inspired Imperial Guard.
"the lack of helmet makes him look more like a murder then a medic"
me knowing they call their medics quartermaster: you're not entirely wrong
We all know that servoskull with the long parchment and autoquill is Baldemort.
I wasn't a krieg fan previously, but just seeing them all in one go, damn, my guard army is gonna grow
The mounts of the FW Death Rider minis were very long legged as well, the claws look unsettling fantastic they really do... it's been knocked out of the park
I really hope these new Krieg models are incorporated into Kill Team in some way.
One of the heavy support crew has a shovel propped up on their gun's bracing strut, for those who desperately need shovels to be involved with Krieg

Green tube probably combat stimms. Deathrider mounts are pumped full of them.
Pretty cool. I will be looking forward to seeing TinyLegend coming up with myriad bits augment/ improve the new range 😁
That "Lump of metal" is a Hand grenade in style of the ones used by Germany in WW1. AKA: Stielhandgranate.
Amazing release cant wait to get back on the Krieg, had a nice sized force years ago, be good to get on them once again

Absolutely LOVE IT! My Krieg shadowsword, leman destroyer and Krieg killteam have been very lonely holding a small corner (ok maybe not that small considering the baneblade chassis) of my shelves. I just hope there's still coming something more heavy, love the artillery, just doesn't feel chonky enough, like the earthshakers or Basilisk. Needs more TANK!
The preview was on Friday, wasn't it? And that bit of a horse is, indeed, its mane.
So hyped. Now i need to find a proper color schem ^^
The plastic crack is strong today. XD
The horse has prosthethics, which implies that it was horribly injured and then operated on before getting nurtured back to health, which means horses in 40k are treated better than horses irl. That's fun.
That is the creepiest medic I’ve ever seen.
The horses remind me of Hrulgrin from the Belgariad, carnivore horse like monsters
They're perfect....PERFECT, down to the last minute detail.......but where's the Desth Corps Marshal?
Now we only need the mecharius in plastic =D
It's called a mane, also the chicken feet don't add any extra height, horses are just built like that
Trench Crusade is looking pretty good.
great New Antioch sculpts

Quad-cannon will always be referred to as a Thud-gun by me.
The krieg double barrel guns are basically, Imperial Japans type 96 or type 98 anti-air guns with extra stuff.
The Krieg look so good, I still prefer the Elysian drop troopers but could never afford the forge world prices to field a platoon!
Btw that not really a medic, it's apparently an Alchemist, chemical warfare specialist
Why no infantry platoon?!
They already have one. Veteran guardsmen kit.
Can't wait for GW getting the krieg on Jackals bikes.. that would be lit
They forget in old lore the kiregs NEVER wear medals
Does anyone else have "We're going to Vraks! Back to the Trenches" in theyre minds.
Heavy stubbers not autocanons lol kreig love their heavy stubbers this all takes me back to the seige of vraks which forgeworld did for 3 campaign books great read
God they do look real good
Just confirming are those oval bases for the new Krieg Calvary? Just preparing myself to upgrade the base for all my riders 😁
i was about to say that they looked more like grenade launchers but now that you mention it they do look like really weird shotguns
The artillery batteries have shovels!
Also the warhammer channel YT video for this preview (the
Ope, there's another shovel on the heavy weapons squad!
Honestly, the previous less dynamic poses made more sense for the Krieg. The dour and apathetic vibe just fit better...
*cries in unpainted cadians* im going to have 2 guard armies i guess lol, one krieg one cadian
Does anyone know if they’re doing a korps combat patrol cuz I’m so out of the metta in this edition I don’t do anything besides combat patrol now
Why didn't they do it earlier? Because "Trench Crusade" . Works for me though - I'll buy this.
The mauser pistol make em look so sick, and what are those revoler guns? Are they grenade launchers?
So I’m confused, are we getting regular troops or do we use the CEs or kill team kits?
What with all the Kreig artwork on the codex are Cadians being replaced for the poster regiment for the Imperial Guard?
Its just a special cover for the big box with Krieg units
The medic is reminiscent of Hellboy's colleagues! The medic collects blood from the dying don't forget 😮 Yes it's 'Frogging' on that marvellous Commissar. Do kreig need a Commissar? I was hoping for the standing officer but maybe later 😊
the engineers are missing the mole launcher, that's my only complaint so far. otherwise, looks great
Saturday? I thought it was friday for both sides of the pond
Krieg and Malcador infernus sounds like a new guard detachment is being started.
The real question is do these make the top 5 horse list?
They must surely be in the top 5, they are QUALITY in my opinion
The absolutely win the top horse prize! 🐴 😅 🏆
I will be getting all of these. Though, I actually want to give my krieg horse marshal a shotgun instead of a pistol.

Awesome! 👍🏻
I can’t wait! The krieger! Look amazing!

So tempting!!!!
I might buy that mortar just to paint and show off
Whelp there goes my life savings… For the Emperor!
As you said, I always wanted Kreig but the expense was prohibitive, I've just finished my new Cadian company based on a British infantry company, on top off the older Cadian army, now I will have to start again, me thinks a bank loan may be in order 😂
1:42 Yes, that's called the mane.
