Kriegers are actually very insular because they believe that most other Regiments aren't as pious as they should be, so they actually don't get along well with others, especially if they're more conventional soldiers like the Cadians. Hell, they might have taken exception to the idea of them getting drunk and complaining, and may have singled out the Commissar for failing in her responsibilities to enforce discipline from their point of view.
@@Zekeziel-Reacts Yep. Kriegers are on record for actually executing commissars assigned to them for not being as zealous as most Kriegers are. Altho since then, a lot of Kriegers get commissars that hail from Krieg itself, and things work a bit better with them now.
@@Zekeziel-Reacts They're also attack commissar in other occasions like when fear and survival instinct completely overcome death cult indoctrination which make them fled from battle in panic routed while murder any commissars who try to stop them.
Here an excerpt from Imperial Armour vol.5 in case some Krieg fanboys come up and say it's never happen. ”Shells started to crash down into the advancing Krieg ranks, as the defenders fire increased, summoning up the malestrom of destruction again. In no mans land whole squads were being wiped out as the salvos created a wall of shrapnel. As the artillery fire hammered down it caused the utter collapse of the 158th regiments attack in the sector 50-45. The first attack wave was already falling back in the face of intense fire. The Comissars amongst the assault squads demanded that the men stand firm and push on, summarily executing the first men to take any step backwards. In return, several Commisars were shot out by hand by their own side as the shredded assault companies scurried back to the safety of their own trenches. At the parapet the first wave collided with the second wave as they moved forwards to begin their advance. Fighting broke out as the officers of the second wave tried to force passage forwards. After only a couple hours the 158th regiment's attack had disintegrated into shambles. For the regiment's abject failure, the colonel and his staff would be arrested and eventually executed. The regiment was then disbanded by the 88th Siege Army's commissars. All the survivors would be sentenced to serve amongst the Penal Legions.”
@@inquisitorsteele8397 That sounds like somebody doesn't know how to write the Death Korps, honestly. They're not stupid and totally willing to make a tactical withdrawal if the situation demands it, but the prospect of burying the enemy under a mountain of their own corpses is what the Death Korps live for; if a sustained artillery barrage or incompetent leadership was enough to break this unflinching resolve, the Death Korps of Krieg would have broken down millennia ago.
That ending is gut-wrenching once you think it through. We are talking about a battle-hardened and de-sensitized war veteran, with the intelligence of a child. Low enough that he does not comprehend that momma and sister are gone. Dead. Never to be seen again. But with a loyalty so unwavering, that all he cares about is being the best Ogryn his momma taught him how to be, and to make the Emperor proud. And that pure wish at the end, encapsulates all of that, with perfection.
Funny enough, Krieg requires special commissars whose job it is to REIN IN the fanatic krieg soldiers, preventing useless suicidal charges to die for the Emperor. Contrary to most commissars, they do not need to improve morale and fighting spirit among the soldiers, but instead they work to restrain their fanatical hatred and zealous desire to attone for their people's previous sins by dying for the Emperor. Coincidently, Krieg has an unsually high number of commissar deaths that often are dubious in circumstances during the best of times. Apparently, the zealous death cult does not like it when you keep them from attaining the one thing they desire in life. Dying for the Emperor.
Oh, that explains it. I guess they can't tolerate the abhumans despite the administratum classing them as close enough to human to not require purging.
@@Zekeziel-Reacts Yep. Black Templars are similar. Without strict supervision, they won't care what scribes have to say. They see something that doesn't look human, they purge. That's why the Kriegers didn't stop fighting until their commissar (guy with a nice coat) showed up and threatened to start executing them.
@@chrisroberts7000 It's been a while so I don't remember the exact details of what I watched but I wheezed with laughter as I imagined a commissar just pulling out his laspistol and clearing his throat to get their attention. Then everything just stops because they understand the implicit statement.
Actually commisars in Krieg are the sh*tty job - they have to make Kriegers tame to not suicide rush everything. At least in old lore is written that often times than not, other regiments commisars attached to Kriegsmen get mercied for not being loyal enough (aka stopping them from advancing when it is suicidal)
If I remember correctly, aren't Krieg comisars also responsible for making sure that the gear gets collected from all the soldiers who died so the equipment can be reused?
Hey man great vid, but for some reason reminds me that Warboss Thrakka deserves a chance at Angron after what he did to Commisar Yarrick. A right propper Orky Waagh against a chaos primarch. Yarrick was his buddy after all
They have killed commissar in the past. I think one was killed in vraks by a krieg general as he didn't want to push forward to the second or first wall, but the krieg soldiers did.
If you want to get longer series to watch on your list watch: Star Wars vs Warhammer 40k By FanWithTooMuchTime I know - It might sound unconvincing - but the story is great and there is a lot of fans of this series: th-cam.com/video/y5pm-cddO3c/w-d-xo.html And - a lot of chapters to go through - so a lot of content for you :)
Oh yeah. Definitely something to put on the list. The premise sounds like crap, but the author REALLY knows his stuff, blending the settings together very well. And his sense of action, drama, and characterization is PHENOMENAL.
Already know about it and have been keeping up with it. I put it to a vote a while back as to what people would rather see me react to. Between "World of Darkness Lore" by Lazar of Stygia, "Star Wars vs Warhammer 40k" by FanWithTooMuchTime and "Helluva Boss" by Vivziepop, WoD Lore won. So I binged through on my own. Love the series thus far though.

My God, this one can count to 5. Ogryn must be a genius.
I like the Forrest Gump like take on the Ogryns. Makes them more realistic, relatable and likable to me.
Yeah I like how they’re naive but not stupid, a little slow but not stupid

that last part makes me cry every time
Kriegers are loyal, but viciously zealous. They were fine until they found out the Cadians were harboring mutants (abhumans).
Oh, that explains it. I guess they can't tolerate the abhumans despite the administratum classing them as close enough to human to not require purging.

@@Zekeziel-Reacts no it's a special rank that is called quartermaster that collects the gear from the dead and heal the wounded
@@whats_down Oh I see. Thanks for letting me know.

I hope we get a big battle between the two. Even better if he evolves into a Krork before the battle as has been theorised for a while now.
@@Zekeziel-Reacts 'Cause Ork'z is made fer fightin and winnin!'
Gav & Bob is a great story aswell about Ogryns, it's in 4 parts soo far.
" i miss bob "
That part got me, cired my eyes out
He may not be Cadian born but for sure he's Cadian raised
One Ogryn vs Abbadon might be a little much.
Better make sure that Gav helps him out.
Love this skit. If I might make a recommendation, check out Lamenters story next. Roller-coaster of emotions there.
They have killed commissar in the past. I think one was killed in vraks by a krieg general as he didn't want to push forward to the second or first wall, but the krieg soldiers did.
I like potato peels too. React to Gav and Bob. For the emperor.
Since so many people are asking for that one, I'll do that today.
@@Zekeziel-Reacts You get a sub for that one my friend.
@@Darazzz Thank you and I'm glad that you enjoy the reactions.
They have their own commesar in their regiments
I appreciate the praise but I've gotta give credit where credit is due.Hatter3555 suggests this one. Shot out to them
Right. I keep mixing people up. You were the one who recommended Genestealer Story and Hatter recommended this one.
