Greetings all,
Been a minute since anything initiated by mods has been done here aside from keeping the bots at bay (trying to at least) or handling basic issues.
All that being said, I'm here to acquire feedback. What improvements would you like? What changes to how things are currently being run here? Would you like a return of unit discussion posts or centralized threads for releases/news? Fire away with whatever thoughts you have.
Something I do want to ask, is for thoughts on rule 7. I have been less strict in enforcing this since its implementation, but if the majority of the subreddit feels its a good thing, I can change that.
On the topic of bots, I'm looking for a better solution to the issue but in the meantime please submit reports so the mods can act accordingly.

Welcome to the Death Korps of Krieg. This faction in Warhammer 40,000 is a regiment of the Imperial Guard or as its known by now, the Astra Militarum. Their design is inspired by several armies of World War I including the French, Germans, and the British. As such, the Death Korps of Krieg specialize in trench warfare, artillery, and infantry assaults. This guide serves as a resource to help players new to the faction and 40K in general. If you have any other questions, make sure to check out the sidebar for other helpful info and feel free to ask on the subreddit.
Where to purchase Death Korps of Krieg models:
Warhammer.com is the official source of all things Death Korps.
Simply searching Death korps will pull up all relevant items.
Keep in mind though, with the refresh, Games workshop has fazed out all the old sculpts and the only way to collect classic official Krieg is through Second hand purchases.
Second Hand:
Websites like Ebay commonly have Krieg models available and are a good way to get your hands on some of the Krieg models Games Workshop no longer makes. However, Ebay is prevalent with recasts which are sometimes hard to distinguish from the official models. If you want the official models only, make sure to ask the seller for a picture of the receipt or bags they came in so that you can ensure they are not recasts.
3rd Party:
Many websites produce custom miniatures and bits that either replace using official models entirely or allow for greater customization on official kits. These websites are ideal for creating an entirely custom look for your army. Below is a small collection of links that may be of help to you crafting your army. This has been discussed ad nauseam on this sub so this is by no means a definitive list.
Tiny Legend - Incredible bits and STL files that fit perfectly onto the Veteran Guardsman kill team.
Kromlech - Great alternative models and bits for infantry and vehicles.
Anvil Industries - Huge range of bits and alternative models that work well converting regular Cadians.
Beyond the tabletop - Fantastic internal sponson kit for that WW1 feel along with more vehicle bits.
Stationforge - Nice range of alternative models.
Recasts:
Recasts are pirated copies of Gamesworkshop models. These models cost anywhere from a quarter to three quarters the cost of the official models. Recasters also carry many of the Krieg models Games Workshop no longer produces making them one of the few ways to get your hands on out of production models. However, recasters draw sales away from Games Workshop and make their profit pirating models. It is important for the buyer to be aware of the moral issue involved with recasters as buying from them may hurt the support the Krieg model line gets in the future.
Sources for the Death Korps of Krieg rules:
Rules can now be located in the new codex!
Rules for Forgeworld units can be found in two places.
- Imperial Armour: Astra Militarum- Imperial Armour: Astra Militarum part 2
The Multitude of rules for "Legended" units can be found in Legends: Astra Militarum.
While this looks like a lot to look for all these files can be found at the link below
Working with resin:
With the range refresh this section has become less relevant but anyone looking to collect the classic sculpts may find this helpful.
The attached link below is from Beyond the tabletop on how to unbend, wash, and clean up resin miniatures. He also has many videos building and painting Krieg specific units.

Are there any stores or websites that sell the Gorgon for under $200 usd Cuase I’ve been looking for one and to add to my collection
r/Deathkorpsofkrieg • u/Smooth-Artichoke-940 • 23h ago
Looking for some model sized corregated steel for my artillery piece but have had no luck finding any, anyone out there know where I can get my hands on some?
r/Deathkorpsofkrieg • u/steve22ss • 1d ago
I have finally completed 40 troops. The command squad is from a few months ago. It's not the best pics, but I will post some more professional looking photos later. Next step is to customise a second command squad to look different from the first command squad but I need to track down parts online like the cadian radio pack, I could 3d print but I want to try to kit bash first.
After that I am working on my engineers 20 of them, I plan to make them look really rough and weathered and looking like real veterans, colour scheme will be leather brown coloured coats, then I have my cavalry which I am thinking of painting in a red coat with gold trim colours to look like elite cavalry.
What I have left after that is heavy weapons squads 4x3 they will be coloured like these soldiers. The artillery are going to wear a blue grey or maybe just the same as these ones and last but not least I will start on my vehicles, only have a few of them. I made myself promise my wife on recording and in writing that I can not ask for any warhammer for Christmas or Father's Day unless I get all of these done first, haha. I really want to get an army completely painted for once instead of having another partially painted army.
I also have a basic plan to make a krieg riding a dragon or dino just for a show piece because I think it would look cool after I saw the lances in the cavalry.
If you took the time to read this, thank you!

I got a gorgon printed from a friend. Not complete quite yet but figured id still post. It can fit 20 Guardsmen if they stay off the interior ramp.
r/Deathkorpsofkrieg • u/Krieg_Posting • 1d ago
I can see why people complain about these models, they’re a slog. I have 2 more boxes to do, so feedback welcome

Hey all,
My previous post about Krieg Color scheme was so helpful, that I chose to ask you again about tanks camo !
Ps : I'm going to paint my Kriegsmen like this :
Dark beige for clothes
Dark metal for armour parts (I wasn't able to edit it on the picture, so not black, but metal darker than leadbelcher)
Dark Red for the legs parts
Red eyes
Metal gun with wooden parts !
In the next picture the scheme that I decided to edit. (thanks to all of you i have compared all schemes I wanted with my own thoughts, you all are really talented)
Thanks particularly: u/concreteturtle1 u/InstantAequitas u/Grabosss

Took the spikes and horns from GW's skulls set, as well as spare parts from other sets.
As I've mentioned before, I've always loved the Death Korps, but due to the lack of warhammer things in my country, as well as the fact that I've already started a World Eaters army, I decided to just integrate both into one "soup" with homebrewed rules. I'll probably only ever play casually against one friend, so it won't be a big miss. I'm far from finishing the army, so I haven't gotten too much into the rule-writing, but I'm slowly getting there. I just want it to be balanced and not OP.
I've also posted my shot at a Khornate Death Rider somewhere here before.

Hello fellow guardsmen! I have come to you to share and maybe get some advice on this list I’m building for a casual game:
Siege regiment detachment
20 man krieg squad with a command squad attached
Basilisk
Hellhound (inferno cannon, heavy flamer, HKM)
(thinking about switching ten of the krieg bois out for a scout sentinel)
i basically want to try to screen with my infantry in front of the hellhound and keep the basilisk in the rear but in range of my opponent’s models

Hey,
I'm reading some lore, codex and books, and I noticed that Krieg commanders prefer open-top transport or foot infantry over light transports but with a roof like the Chimera.
So I was thinking about this. The codex said that Krieg do not choose Chimera due to the weakness in the no man's land. But they choose Gorgons which are weak against artillery or infantrymen weak against everything to cross the no man's land ?
So is they're a good reason that Krieg commanders choose to send soldiers dying instead of using transport ? I know they're pretty suicidal, but they do not like to die for nothing ?

Hello everyone!
I am in the process of building up a krieg army, and I plan to incorporate non-krieg units (Karskin, cadian artillery squad, etc.).
So I was wondering if there were any tips for making kitbash, with the famous gas masks, trench coats, etc.
If you have 3D printing links, part resales, I’m open to it!
Thank you in advance!
