@@derkrampus9986 This x1000. I hear about how suicidal they are, but it seems more like a willingness to go all out to complete a mission with complete disregard to personal safety. Not suicidal, just 100% their priority is the emperor's will and not their own skin. To waste their life would be heresy, would be wasting the emperor's resources.
That moment when the commissar is a coward and has an “accident”. By falling on his bayonet a few times and accidentally shooting himself in the back of the head.
What I think is wild is they took on this world eater and Khorne really doesn't care who takes the skulls and you know he had to raise an eyebrow at this one. If Big E doesn't want their valorous Krieg souls, Khorne no doubt will.
The reason Kriegs joined this campaign is because they heard the traitors are building "trenches" when it's actually just a line of sandbag. Nothing pisses off Kriegs more than a poorly constructed defensive position.
@@CHRF-55457 to be fair, Death Korps of Krieg are no where near to ferociousness of the Iron Warriors Both of them excel in siege tactics and Death Korps of Krieg has the advantage of fearlessness and strength in numbers but Iron Warriors are still better for just being Space Marines
@@mohammadsyazwigeoffrey7325 yes but even space Marines have to withdraw if casualties get too high. Kriegers don't unless it's part of the greater strategy
Keep it up, especially in light of todays heresy. Warhammer+ anyone? These fan creators did more for 40k marketing in the last 10yrs then GW ever did, then they stole them from us in order to introduce their bastardized version of every subscription based platform out there. Sickening.
Something I never really thought about is just how quickly the Kriegers respond to the Berserker. They are immediately on top of him with an actual plan.
Its still good enough tactic to use since they are basically using sticks with cumulative explosives to kill a chaos marine! So 50 Kriegsman for one guy is a VERY good trade off!
@@zikkuraorgannon6680 that was more like 5 guys before that got to him and killed him...thats 5 guardsmen and 5 horses to basically kill Space Marine or around 10 guardsmen in that tunnel, thats not a good trade, thats a steal
@@philipraven4956 I add a bunch of kriegsman that died to bolter fire to the number and round it up. But still, thats definetly cheaper than a set of ceramic armor plates for the space marine.
@@zikkuraorgannon6680 Big thing is 50,000,000 new Kriegsman are made a year, where what something like roughly per chapter 50-100~ new ones a year... A single chaos space marine would have to take out 1,000,000 kriegers to matter.
As happened with the Spanish in the sack of Rome in 1527. If the soldiers don't have a capable leader or someone to pay them, they do wonders for sieges.
To be completely honest, ever since Astartes was taken down, if I find any Warhammer animation that is even somewhat good I just download it immediately. I even downloaded Helsreach just in case. After all these years I just can’t trust GW to do the right thing by their fan base.
5:16 took me a while to realize this crazy trooper did not use the anti-tank grenade but he strapped himself with enough expolsives to cave in part of the tunnel
@@ulmeulme Nah, they’d have made an announcement by now. This is Cease and Desist with extra steps. Local 40K hobby cafe/hangout is saying the same thing and we’ve been in lockdown for the past 6 months.
@@ulmeulme Nope. Sodaz is not going to be making more 40k stuff (he said so himself on his channel. He's going into titanfall fan animation now). This was most likely GW using the carrot and the stick, threatening with litigation and buying out the creators. Some will produce for GW while others will not. But none of them will release a warhammer fanvideo on youtube in the future.
I love the last scene when the guardsman tank operator gets checked on if he's alright after minor physical and mental trauma, just to lock eyes with the last surviving death riders who stand just as tall as they did in a full unit just moments ago. It really captures the mentality and ideology difference between a guardsman and a kriegsman.
These are also Cadians, he didn't even get a bandage for the head wound, just a once over for anything life threatening before waiting for his tank to be towed back to the depot for repair.
@@Darqshadow That's standard combat medic protocol as well, look for and treat masive bleedings, no small ouchies or booboos. Kriegsman are either dead or quickly dying when the krieg combat medi... quartermaster comes to give the "blessing of the emperor's peace" and gather their gear.

It is a sad day when the fanbase has to protect an IP from its own creator.....Wait a minute.......Is.....is GW being run by Horus? That would explain everything!
Nah, Horus would be a great CEO. If he were to manage GW, they'd buy out Disney, Google, Walmart, Nestle and Craft within just a few years, and that would still be a massive misuse of Primarch's potential. These guys were made to manage galaxy arms, you know.
@@MizantropMan I agree. Most likely he got the idea of hiring them to actually make awesome content but Erebus corrupted him and now the "hiring" is nothing but a subtle cease and desist order
Fun fact: Death Korps of Krieg's death rider actually can kill chaos marine at single turn with the Death rider hunting lance on miniatures game. because, once they charge and go in to the melee fight, their AP is reduce -3 and got +2 for damage of their lance.
It just a mistake but ,it +2 to their strength not damage, it only damage 1 and since the new codex will come out soon chaos marine will get to 2 wound,so 2 damage is required to kill ones
@@Imashork yeah the wound and damage rolls seems odd after the hit and save. IMHO Strength should be added to damage and rolled against their toughness. 4 separate rolls seems a bit too much.
When your sci fi universe is built almost all around how the humanity survived and resisted for over than 40.000 years in a so fucked galaxy what can you expect from the fan base?
Thing is, I got into 40K when I was 10 thinking it was some Future Airfix Military stuff. Dropped it for a bit, studying and money wise, then got back into the lore, found out it’s super violent and they have great book series. Gaunt’s Ghosts for example. Then working at a desk happened and not sure about yous, but staring at a screen for work then for fun wasn’t asking. Getting back into 40K with money, time and better painting skills were glorious.
@@armorist_8712 there videos yes but the way the people who make these videos are treated by games workshop and basically blackmailed into not doing what they enjoy is what pisses people off. I bet if the person who originally created this did try to make some 40k content for RUclips it would be removed rather quickly as all gw have to is whisper the words law suit and its bye bye
5:20. Hot Damn. SODAZ storytelling always amazed me, but I just know realized that all of those suicidal charges by the Kriegers were purposeful to get the last guy with the anti armor charge within range. Amazing
And when they were charging the entrenched positions, they were keeping them entrenched so the artillery could zero in and give them the emperor’s peace while making sure they were bunched up for maximum target saturation
I liked the recent Killteam animation but I don't feel like it captured the Kriegsman quite like I imagined. This is how I imagine them as cold, relentless and brutally unconcerned for their own life and safety.
Its weird thinking about how the fan base treats them and how GW treats them. I feel like the fanbased does go overboard (sometimes not as jokes but how they actually perceive krieg) to the point where it feels a bit weird hearing a krieger talk
@@deathkorpswatchmaster2414 It’s actually one of those “weren’t expecting that” moments. It’s the same with the other Krieg animation, when they’re were speaking I was like, huh? But hey, some settings work for silent troopers.
@@smoketinytom i feel like if GW actually wanted to protect their IP they would make sure everybody knows it. The community taking charge of lore only leads to confusion. I mean look at the SCP universe ask somebody what this SCP does and they give a completely different answer to the other guy you asked
Watching GW is like watching someone driving a car, into the wall, over and over again, expecting different results. You're doing the Emperors work my friend!
Krieg guardsmen not even flinching at the sight of a Khorne Berserker should tell you everything. That cold stare from the mask at the end was literally perfection.
The "Krieg don't play well with other guardsmen" rule is strong here. Imagine how fucking terrifying those guys must be to a normal guardsman who is just happy to be alive after an assault like that- catching one of them staring at you and knowing that you came back because your tank was almost destroyed, the kriegsman only came back because after his mutant cyborg horse took a bolt round he couldn't crawl fast enough due to the shrapnel filling his legs to the dying heretics to finish a few off with his shovel before he passed out from blood loss.
Or because while you were busy hiding in your busted out tank and clutching your Infantryman's Primer like a Whiteshield, he was handing out dirt naps to heretics like Grandma.
@@arkxz i don't know, they retreat when attacks are called off, they often go out into no-mans land to bring back and save their wounded, they use tactics and don't just blindly rush the enemy all the time, As it has been said to me by other people: Kriegsmen prefer sacrifice, not suicide.
Imagine being so hellbent on winning that within 10 seconds of seeing a hulking mass of chaos marine, you and your entire platoon agree to fix bayonets and charge an enemy, a tactic you know will get everyone killed, just to distract him so that someone on the platoon can get close enough with explosives to blow everyone up.
I'll repeat what i said on the OG video. It is really nice to see ACTUAL squad based tactics being used by the Kreigsman and space marine. From the risky danger close artillery strike to the entire tunnel scene, all of them knew what to do and where to go. Its beautiful to see. Too bad GW does not understand the passion the WH40K fandom has.
The HMG in the tunnels really shows the good having a massive hulking walking tank can do for a well drilled human squad. They got pinned down only for .75 calibre anti everything RPGs to get flung back at them, followed by lasgun fire since the heavy gun was silenced.
"Too bad GW does not understand the passion the WH40K fandom has" whats ironic is that you had to repost your comment because of said lack of understanding
No worries, it seems 4 GW workers have found me, disliking this glorious pict. I’ve been busy at work, but they’ll be a G Drive linked with the original files for download.
No matter which they run out of, they will run out of both before the Krieg have no more bodies to throw at them. If the enemy is a million strong and has a billion ammo, send in 1,002,000,000 Krieg.
Luckily they’re all reuploaded by the community. I always refer new people I meet to Astartes and the likes whenever a conversation sways towards sci-fi shit, so far no one has been disappointed by my recommendation haha
What I like about this animation is that the Kriegers as shown as somewhat suicidal but also effective. Charging into Chaos astartes with a lance that can kill them. They use artillery fire to attack trenches, take cover behind sandbags, throwing grenades to breach doors or rooms, even letting the Astartes take out the Heavy gun before killing the other enemies. Even them charging the last berserker seemed convincing as they aimed for joints in the armor.
Krieger: Alright, cover us with mortar and machine gun fire while we- IG: I thought you guys just charged? Krieger (annoyed): We will die for the Emperor, not waste the blessed resources he has blessed us with.
I always found this a perfect representation of the Death Korps of Krieg. My friend played Death Korps in the board game and she loved them before and when GW started going downhill. She was kinda devestated when she heard this video was removed because of GW threatening creators. At least I can send it to her since it will cheer her up knowing people know it is worth keeping up.
This animation shows something: The astartes probably love working with the DKoK more than any other militarum regiment. Kriegers never ask questions, throw their lives away if it helps the battle willingly, and are still quite tactical and methodical in how they fight war. Perfect match.
I remember watching this a long time ago. Not even a fan of 40k but I found the quality of the animations and the just cinematography alone to be amazing. Sound and visuals all coming together. Its a shame the company didn't appreciate it but im glad its back
Alot of effort went into this animation, every shot fired has momentum in it that is showed when it hits a target, each model and textur are well detailed and the death korps aditude is captured almost perfectly.
Since you reuploaded the video, I'll reupload my comment: "There is no glory or greatness found here, no tales of valiance or rough courage over fear. This is the tale of the deserving war zone fodder, those borned with sin who live without honor."
SODAZ really was one step above the rest. The man has talent for music, coregraphy, angle shots, lore, and god-like animation. All at a very, CERY, reasonable schedule. It's a shame he decided to forsake Warhammer projects. Though I understand his qualms. God-Emperor keep you, you magnificent bastard.

As the fourth Tank rumbled to join the column, the commander of the vehicle really, really just wants to sleep. His last two platoons are shredded somewhere else. He and his crew had been at it for several weeks. Their Tank also needed maintenance, but the Emperor waits for no man, and so they join the column. "I hate being a last second addition," the driver grouses as he bites on his cigar as he drives, "We usually end up having to fix a whole bigger than our mess kits." "And everything hit and destroyed while we're at it," the left side gunner adds. "Quiet you idiots, there are Krieg!" the right side gunner warned as the Lumen Russ began to slowly drive by the horse mounted Krieg. "Settle down and settle in," the commander ordered despite her tiredness, "Get ready to kill the lights as soon the Space Marines sense danger, understood?" "Copy that," the crew responded. 'We're number four in a three Tank formation,' the Commander thought as he swallowed, 'Not a good place to be.' The inside, as always, was loud. The crew were uncomfortable. They really couldn't see. A fourth Space Marine walked alongside them with their Infantry unit with him. Checking his map, the Tank Commander realized they would soon be reaching the area where the enemy defenses were believed. He swallowed. They hadn't been contested yet. That meant an ambush. The Tank Commander alerted his crew and popped his hatch. Telling his Infantry support to be ready for an ambush, he turned to see the Space Marine with them was listening. He then turned back to the Guardsman in charge of the support and told him his plan, eyeing the Space Marine to see him still listening in. Both thought it a good plan. So, they were ready for anything. As they approached, the leading Space Marine suddenly held up his fist. As soon as that happened, all four Tanks came to a halt. The rearmost, Tank Number 4, killed its lights immediately as the Infantry found good positions. The rear most Infantry of Tank Number 3 realized a few moments later that Tank 4 had turned its lights off. They turned to see the Guardsmen around it having taken defensive positions and were scanning outwards for danger. The Tank Commander was also had his head out and was scanning. The Space Marine with them was doing the same. A PFC quickly ordered his team to do the same. The Corporal in Tank 3's Infantry realized the same and directed the others to do the same. The Tank Commander of Tank 4 scanned carefully. His eyes narrowing at times. His scanner in hand looking for all danger. That's when he saw it. A Heretic attempting to outflank them on the right. His left side gunner, though, shouted enemy on the left! Just as the Space Marine up front suddenly fired his Bolter, the Tank Commander yelled, "AMBUSH!" His driver hit reverse and move their Lumen Russ back. The Tank Commander guiding him as battle broke out. Finding a good place further back, the Tank fired into enemies attempting to flank the other three Tanks. "Tank 1 has been hit!" the first Tank went down. The Heretics moved to flank. But Tank 4's fire cut into their own flank. It was far enough back that they had failed to notice it. In fact, an enemy preparing his shot hadn't even noticed the fire was coming from a fourth Tank. "Tank 3! Hostile behind you! Move!" the Tank Commander cursed as Tank 3 was slow to react, but it did move slightly before it was hit, and that slight movement made a difference. "Tank 3's crew likely survived that one. Unlike Tank 1's crew," the driver could see what happened, "Where are those reinforcements?" Switching between directly his own crew's weapons, coordinating with their Infantry and Space Marine, sharing reports with just Tank 2 now, and speaking with command, providing critical information, the Tank Commander felt himself being overworked, but he kept at it. "They're on the way," he told his crew, and their support, "Just buy ti- Tank 2! Watch left!" The Tank managed to deal with the threat. On its right, the Space Marine supporting them did the same. The one up front was keeping the enemy at bay. And that's when things went from bad to horribly worse. "TRAITORS!" the Tank Commander shouted upon seeing six Chaos Space Marines. His gunners needed no instructions. They followed his directions and fire from all weapons reduced their numbers quickly. But already, there were causalities. One of their Space Marines was wounded, if not dead. The Infantry commander was in danger. "Oh no," the main gunner watched in horror, "Tank 2 and its Space Marine were just hit!" "I see!" the commander shouted in horror, before steeling himself, "Cover all the survivors that can get to us. We hold here until reinforceme-" he was interrupted by the vox in his space, "They're almost here! Prepare to charge and as the Commissars say, 'Drive me closer so I can hit them with my sword!'" The crew cheered that as they picked off a third Traitor. But saw the enemy about to kill the survivors of the forward three parts of the column. Then the horns blew. Followed by the sounds of lots of hooves. "Stand ready driver!" "Yes sir!" The Krieg Lancers arrived and were approaching the surviving Tank. "LIGHTS AND CHARGE!" The Tank's lights sprang to life, blinding enemies and friends alike. Nonetheless, the Krieg riders had behind the Tank when the lights went on and its own Infantry and Space Marine were on its flanks. The Krieg passed swiftly as the Tank began surging forward. The Infantry and Space Marine following it as the Krieg overran the enemy. A Traitor managed to pick off several Kreig riders, but a Lancer managed to hit him squarely. The resulting explosion blew the Traitor's arm off and spun the corpse around to fall to the ground. The leader of the Traitors and Heretics was likewise overwhelmed while the Space Marine up front was still alive and fighting and managed to take down the last Traitor on his own. Krieg Infantry arrived, sweeping through the area, moving forward. The Heretics left behind did not live long. They were quickly executed as the Krieg Infantry maintained their advance, nonetheless. "Move, move!" the Tank Commander shouted as his Tank drove forward with the remaining still fit Guardsmen from the column, "Victory for the Emperor!" "The Emperor Protects!" the crew shouted as they fired on targets of opportunity. The Tank Commander guided his Tank through the dark forest. His Tank's powerful scanners showing the enemy trenches up ahead. He had a much better capability than the Space Marines with them. From four, there were now two. But that was still two more than the enemy who had lost six Chaos Space Marines in exchange. The Krieg noticed the Regs keeping pace and the Lumen Russ slowly beginning to drop back until it idled. The loud engine quieting to let them close with more ease. Those still passing could hear the vehicle commander making reports as he scanned the battlefield, eyeing things carefully. Then the flare went up. "FORWARD!" the driver heard the command and again, the Lumen Russ once more advanced, weapons firing as the Tank Commander shouted out coordinates over the din of battle. Heretic heavy weapons died faster than Krieg Infantry were. The two Space Marines catching and beginning to surpass the Krieg. The Regular Guardsmen kept pace with the Tank. Final coordinates given; Krieg Artillery fired from their forward position. "Nice!" the Turret gunner shouted as he saw the explosions. A hole punched; Krieg poured into the trenches. The Heretics didn't stand a chance. They fought back but were rapidly being overran. One Krieg Infantryman stopped and indicated for the Lumen Russ to follow his guidance. The Tank did so and was soon traversing the trenches in the best spot for it. Avoiding Anti-Tank Mines in the process. A few Heretics tried to shoot the Krieg, but the Regs shot them down first. The Krieg Lancers returned and began to run down the fleeing enemy that had foolishly fled their trenches. Few to none would survive. The Tank Commander ordered a halt once they were across the trenches. The man then revealed that he had strapped an Anti-Tank Rocket Launcher near his hatch. "Here!" he called down and gently tossed the weapon. Both the Krieg that had guided them and a Reg caught the weapon. "There's likely one more Chaos Space Marine down inside!" the man pointed to the where one of the Space Marines and a pack of Krieg had gone underground, "We got up here! Take that down there and make sure they enemy gets a nasty surprise!" Acknowledged, two separate Squads enter the underground dugout with their new launcher. It would soon be put to use. Though there would still be a cost to pay. "Forward!" the Tank Commander shouts, "I want to hit them with my sword!"
Fan video: Death Korps of Krieg acting fearless just like in the lore. Official GW video: Krieg acting just like regular guardsmen, cowering, being fearful and generally showing emotion without using suicidal tactics.
There is a difference between fearlessness and suicidal. I'd say the Kriesgmen who charged an ork Nob, or ran into burna fire to activate a detonator were pretty fearless.
Lore is not usually accurate to whatever else is in the fiction, hell even warhammer says custodes are nigh demi-gods but they get killed off like vegeta left and right to show off a new big bad boy
I disagree entirely. The Kriegsmen in the Kill Team trailer had a mission to accomplish, and dying before it is accomplished is failing the Emperor, thus you need to stay alive. Plus, there aren't many guardsmen who would charge an Ork nob without hesitation.
3:16 Krieg: TRENCHES? YOU THINK TRENCHES ARE YOUR ALLY? I was born in the trench, moulded by it. You have only brought me joy this the day of your defeat!
I just noticed the number on the Death Korps- They are the 143rd. They were the first Death Korps unit that landed on Vraks along with the 149th and the 150th!
Love the sight of Spacemarine that is genetically perfect warrior with best armor and weapon getting saved by a Krieg cavallery and then overtaken in kills by a dude with a shovel. Love Krieg boys.
I Love how the Khorne Warrior is focused on the Dark Angel warrior due to their centuries conflict; and feels the guard are peasants and EVERY GUARD feels this is it; its time to kill a Chaos Marine Traitolr: We were Born and Bred for THIS!
The Dark Angel sitting on his ass watching the 10, 000 year old heretic super soldier getting absolutely ruined by a literal cavalry charge is my favorite part of this.
F*** YOU GAMES WORKSHOP! Also, thanks for re-uploading this, smoketinytom! Always loved a 40K work where the Imperial Guards shine, and it's rare it does so without putting down anyone else.
This still gives me chills xD especially that final exchange of glances between that tank commander and the krieg horseman :') as if finally the tank crewman/commander understands that behind the mask is more than human, it is undying faith in the emperor, contained in a shell hardened by horror and endless war.
Love the little subtle look towards the way the Guards are rolling from Krieg marine at 0:20. 'You are going where we are going.......ok then......'. Love this short, definitely one of the best.
Guardsmen: oh thank god! reinforcements! lead us, Space Marine! Krieg: ...we didn't ask for help, but you can come with us as long as you don't get in our way.
Sodaz, You're always welcome in the SCP community, no copyright bullshit up in this hizit, but i realize art needs love and if SCP ain't you're thank Nothing can be helped! PEACE! And best of luck everywhere you go! Fuck GW
Too few people point this out. I really like that part. They could have had the walking armor be up front and act as a shield. but no. they do. they do take point.
Probably because they can’t shoot any traitors with an Astartes in front of them. It also appears to make good tactical sense; notice how they peel off to clear and cover the branching tunnels while the Marine keeps moving along the main route? My guess is they took point to make sure there wouldn’t be any surprises like a guy with a rocket launcher or krak grenade having a chance to kill the deadliest fighter in the group. You’ll also notice the Kriegers who aren’t caught out in the open when the enemy HS/MG opens up immediately take cover until the Marine kills the gunner. A subtle but excellent way to show that even if they don’t place any value on their own lives, they’re not fucking stupid like some GW writers appear to believe.
They are expendable. They accept this. His Angel shall do the necessary work, aka taking out that heavy gun emplacement in the tunnels, they shall make sure he gets out with as little damage as possible if they can.
@@smoketinytom a minority that has turned around and weaponized it, a minority that scared away tts because they blew it out of proportion. The majority needs to call out the minority.
What will never cease to amaze me with this video is just how amazing awesome the Krieg are represented. Normally Astartes steal the show but on more than one occasion Space Marines are saved by the mere mortals. The Krieg show no signs of fear, nor any f**ks given. "Oh no you stuck with me with a chainsword big bad Khorne Berserker. Let me introduce you to my krack grenade."
2:46-2:50 he has his helmet on but you can see how confused the astartes commander is, like "whoa, the fuck are these guys?! Alright! Let's do this!!" fucking beautiful.
Yeah, good planning. The Krieger's were Infront and to the sides of the dark angel, protecting his flanksm also allows them to clear rooms BEFORE the dark angel moves past it, letting them have support, or just stop the angel from having a grenade launcher for dinner.
One of the most amazing 40K animations I have ever seen. And there's a lot of good ones. But this one also nails the storytelling 100% ...the Dark Angel at 3:31 is like "I'm not gonna be left behind by these crazy Kriegers! Here I come!"
Black Legionaries: "Hah! Loyalists! Your petty guard and weak Astartes are no match for chaos! Admit defeat, Dark Angel!" Kriegsmen Death Riders: *"I'm about to preform the most baller move."*
God I miss sodaz work in warhammer, he so perfectly captured the tone of everything. The marine moving forward cold and calculating, the chaos marines furry, the krieg absolute lack of hesitation or fear, how hard it is to stop a marine. His work in warhammer was an absolute gift to the universe that is missed by me every day.

Its still good enough tactic to use since they are basically using sticks with cumulative explosives to kill a chaos marine! So 50 Kriegsman for one guy is a VERY good trade off!
@@zikkuraorgannon6680 that was more like 5 guys before that got to him and killed him...thats 5 guardsmen and 5 horses to basically kill Space Marine or around 10 guardsmen in that tunnel, thats not a good trade, thats a steal
@@philipraven4956 I add a bunch of kriegsman that died to bolter fire to the number and round it up. But still, thats definetly cheaper than a set of ceramic armor plates for the space marine.
@@zikkuraorgannon6680 Big thing is 50,000,000 new Kriegsman are made a year, where what something like roughly per chapter 50-100~ new ones a year... A single chaos space marine would have to take out 1,000,000 kriegers to matter.
A funny element is that the space marine is trying to keep up with them in the charge on the gun placement
A comment I found from the original:
Heretic Guardsman: My lord, we killed their commissar.
Chaos Space Marine: You idiots did WHAT!?!?
That was the only thing keeping them back
The poor idiot. The Commissar was the leash that kept the Krieg Hounds of Hell in check. Now the Hounds are off their leash.

I love the last scene when the guardsman tank operator gets checked on if he's alright after minor physical and mental trauma, just to lock eyes with the last surviving death riders who stand just as tall as they did in a full unit just moments ago. It really captures the mentality and ideology difference between a guardsman and a kriegsman.

Fun fact: Death Korps of Krieg's death rider actually can kill chaos marine at single turn with the Death rider hunting lance on miniatures game. because, once they charge and go in to the melee fight, their AP is reduce -3 and got +2 for damage of their lance.
It just a mistake but ,it +2 to their strength not damage, it only damage 1 and since the new codex will come out soon chaos marine will get to 2 wound,so 2 damage is required to kill ones
@@Imashork yeah the wound and damage rolls seems odd after the hit and save.

Thing is, I got into 40K when I was 10 thinking it was some Future Airfix Military stuff. Dropped it for a bit, studying and money wise, then got back into the lore, found out it’s super violent and they have great book series. Gaunt’s Ghosts for example. Then working at a desk happened and not sure about yous, but staring at a screen for work then for fun wasn’t asking. Getting back into 40K with money, time and better painting skills were glorious.

Imagine how fucking terrifying those guys must be to a normal guardsman who is just happy to be alive after an assault like that- catching one of them staring at you and knowing that you came back because your tank was almost destroyed, the kriegsman only came back because after his mutant cyborg horse took a bolt round he couldn't crawl fast enough due to the shrapnel filling his legs to the dying heretics to finish a few off with his shovel before he passed out from blood loss.
Or because while you were busy hiding in your busted out tank and clutching your Infantryman's Primer like a Whiteshield, he was handing out dirt naps to heretics like Grandma.

I'll repeat what i said on the OG video.
It is really nice to see ACTUAL squad based tactics being used by the Kreigsman and space marine. From the risky danger close artillery strike to the entire tunnel scene, all of them knew what to do and where to go. Its beautiful to see. Too bad GW does not understand the passion the WH40K fandom has.
The HMG in the tunnels really shows the good having a massive hulking walking tank can do for a well drilled human squad. They got pinned down only for .75 calibre anti everything RPGs to get flung back at them, followed by lasgun fire since the heavy gun was silenced.
"Too bad GW does not understand the passion the WH40K fandom has"

I will always love the tactics of the Kriegsmen. The enemy will either run out of ammunition or courage, lets find out which it will be.

What I like about this animation is that the Kriegers as shown as somewhat suicidal but also effective. Charging into Chaos astartes with a lance that can kill them. They use artillery fire to attack trenches, take cover behind sandbags, throwing grenades to breach doors or rooms, even letting the Astartes take out the Heavy gun before killing the other enemies. Even them charging the last berserker seemed convincing as they aimed for joints in the armor.

I always found this a perfect representation of the Death Korps of Krieg. My friend played Death Korps in the board game and she loved them before and when GW started going downhill. She was kinda devestated when she heard this video was removed because of GW threatening creators. At least I can send it to her since it will cheer her up knowing people know it is worth keeping up.
thank the emperor I found this channel, I was afraid of losing this video ._.
If you love it enough, Download it because it will get nuked one day again
This animation shows something: The astartes probably love working with the DKoK more than any other militarum regiment. Kriegers never ask questions, throw their lives away if it helps the battle willingly, and are still quite tactical and methodical in how they fight war. Perfect match.
May the Emperor bless your soul for preserving this video.
I remember watching this a long time ago. Not even a fan of 40k but I found the quality of the animations and the just cinematography alone to be amazing. Sound and visuals all coming together. Its a shame the company didn't appreciate it but im glad its back
Alot of effort went into this animation, every shot fired has momentum in it that is showed when it hits a target, each model and textur are well detailed and the death korps aditude is captured almost perfectly.

As the fourth Tank rumbled to join the column, the commander of the vehicle really, really just wants to sleep. His last two platoons are shredded somewhere else. He and his crew had been at it for several weeks. Their Tank also needed maintenance, but the Emperor waits for no man, and so they join the column.
"I hate being a last second addition," the driver grouses as he bites on his cigar as he drives, "We usually end up having to fix a whole bigger than our mess kits."
"And everything hit and destroyed while we're at it," the left side gunner adds.
"Quiet you idiots, there are Krieg!" the right side gunner warned as the Lumen Russ began to slowly drive by the horse mounted Krieg.
"Settle down and settle in," the commander ordered despite her tiredness, "Get ready to kill the lights as soon the Space Marines sense danger, understood?"
"Copy that," the crew responded.
'We're number four in a three Tank formation,' the Commander thought as he swallowed, 'Not a good place to be.'
The inside, as always, was loud. The crew were uncomfortable. They really couldn't see. A fourth Space Marine walked alongside them with their Infantry unit with him.
Checking his map, the Tank Commander realized they would soon be reaching the area where the enemy defenses were believed.
He swallowed. They hadn't been contested yet. That meant an ambush.
The Tank Commander alerted his crew and popped his hatch. Telling his Infantry support to be ready for an ambush, he turned to see the Space Marine with them was listening. He then turned back to the Guardsman in charge of the support and told him his plan, eyeing the Space Marine to see him still listening in.
Both thought it a good plan. So, they were ready for anything.
As they approached, the leading Space Marine suddenly held up his fist. As soon as that happened, all four Tanks came to a halt. The rearmost, Tank Number 4, killed its lights immediately as the Infantry found good positions.
The rear most Infantry of Tank Number 3 realized a few moments later that Tank 4 had turned its lights off. They turned to see the Guardsmen around it having taken defensive positions and were scanning outwards for danger. The Tank Commander was also had his head out and was scanning. The Space Marine with them was doing the same.
A PFC quickly ordered his team to do the same. The Corporal in Tank 3's Infantry realized the same and directed the others to do the same.
The Tank Commander of Tank 4 scanned carefully. His eyes narrowing at times. His scanner in hand looking for all danger.
That's when he saw it. A Heretic attempting to outflank them on the right. His left side gunner, though, shouted enemy on the left!
Just as the Space Marine up front suddenly fired his Bolter, the Tank Commander yelled, "AMBUSH!"
His driver hit reverse and move their Lumen Russ back. The Tank Commander guiding him as battle broke out. Finding a good place further back, the Tank fired into enemies attempting to flank the other three Tanks.
"Tank 1 has been hit!" the first Tank went down.
The Heretics moved to flank. But Tank 4's fire cut into their own flank. It was far enough back that they had failed to notice it. In fact, an enemy preparing his shot hadn't even noticed the fire was coming from a fourth Tank.
"Tank 3! Hostile behind you! Move!" the Tank Commander cursed as Tank 3 was slow to react, but it did move slightly before it was hit, and that slight movement made a difference.
"Tank 3's crew likely survived that one. Unlike Tank 1's crew," the driver could see what happened, "Where are those reinforcements?"
Switching between directly his own crew's weapons, coordinating with their Infantry and Space Marine, sharing reports with just Tank 2 now, and speaking with command, providing critical information, the Tank Commander felt himself being overworked, but he kept at it.
"They're on the way," he told his crew, and their support, "Just buy ti- Tank 2! Watch left!"
The Tank managed to deal with the threat. On its right, the Space Marine supporting them did the same. The one up front was keeping the enemy at bay.
And that's when things went from bad to horribly worse.
"TRAITORS!" the Tank Commander shouted upon seeing six Chaos Space Marines.
His gunners needed no instructions. They followed his directions and fire from all weapons reduced their numbers quickly. But already, there were causalities. One of their Space Marines was wounded, if not dead. The Infantry commander was in danger.
"Oh no," the main gunner watched in horror, "Tank 2 and its Space Marine were just hit!"
"I see!" the commander shouted in horror, before steeling himself, "Cover all the survivors that can get to us. We hold here until reinforceme-" he was interrupted by the vox in his space, "They're almost here! Prepare to charge and as the Commissars say, 'Drive me closer so I can hit them with my sword!'"
The crew cheered that as they picked off a third Traitor. But saw the enemy about to kill the survivors of the forward three parts of the column.
Then the horns blew. Followed by the sounds of lots of hooves.
"Stand ready driver!"
"Yes sir!"
The Krieg Lancers arrived and were approaching the surviving Tank.
"LIGHTS AND CHARGE!"
The Tank's lights sprang to life, blinding enemies and friends alike. Nonetheless, the Krieg riders had behind the Tank when the lights went on and its own Infantry and Space Marine were on its flanks. The Krieg passed swiftly as the Tank began surging forward. The Infantry and Space Marine following it as the Krieg overran the enemy.
A Traitor managed to pick off several Kreig riders, but a Lancer managed to hit him squarely. The resulting explosion blew the Traitor's arm off and spun the corpse around to fall to the ground. The leader of the Traitors and Heretics was likewise overwhelmed while the Space Marine up front was still alive and fighting and managed to take down the last Traitor on his own.
Krieg Infantry arrived, sweeping through the area, moving forward. The Heretics left behind did not live long. They were quickly executed as the Krieg Infantry maintained their advance, nonetheless.
"Move, move!" the Tank Commander shouted as his Tank drove forward with the remaining still fit Guardsmen from the column, "Victory for the Emperor!"
"The Emperor Protects!" the crew shouted as they fired on targets of opportunity.
The Tank Commander guided his Tank through the dark forest. His Tank's powerful scanners showing the enemy trenches up ahead. He had a much better capability than the Space Marines with them. From four, there were now two. But that was still two more than the enemy who had lost six Chaos Space Marines in exchange.
The Krieg noticed the Regs keeping pace and the Lumen Russ slowly beginning to drop back until it idled. The loud engine quieting to let them close with more ease. Those still passing could hear the vehicle commander making reports as he scanned the battlefield, eyeing things carefully.
Then the flare went up.
"FORWARD!" the driver heard the command and again, the Lumen Russ once more advanced, weapons firing as the Tank Commander shouted out coordinates over the din of battle.
Heretic heavy weapons died faster than Krieg Infantry were. The two Space Marines catching and beginning to surpass the Krieg. The Regular Guardsmen kept pace with the Tank.
Final coordinates given; Krieg Artillery fired from their forward position.
"Nice!" the Turret gunner shouted as he saw the explosions.
A hole punched; Krieg poured into the trenches. The Heretics didn't stand a chance. They fought back but were rapidly being overran.
One Krieg Infantryman stopped and indicated for the Lumen Russ to follow his guidance. The Tank did so and was soon traversing the trenches in the best spot for it. Avoiding Anti-Tank Mines in the process. A few Heretics tried to shoot the Krieg, but the Regs shot them down first.
The Krieg Lancers returned and began to run down the fleeing enemy that had foolishly fled their trenches. Few to none would survive.
The Tank Commander ordered a halt once they were across the trenches. The man then revealed that he had strapped an Anti-Tank Rocket Launcher near his hatch.
"Here!" he called down and gently tossed the weapon.
Both the Krieg that had guided them and a Reg caught the weapon.
"There's likely one more Chaos Space Marine down inside!" the man pointed to the where one of the Space Marines and a pack of Krieg had gone underground, "We got up here! Take that down there and make sure they enemy gets a nasty surprise!"
Acknowledged, two separate Squads enter the underground dugout with their new launcher.
It would soon be put to use. Though there would still be a cost to pay.
"Forward!" the Tank Commander shouts, "I want to hit them with my sword!"
Jeez, long but perfect

Kreig: no one hurts daddy, meat shield activate!
"I've got you now beaky!!! Prepare to di....is that a fuckin horse????" Chaos marine about to get vibe checked by a cavalry charge.
The Dark Angel sitting on his ass watching the 10, 000 year old heretic super soldier getting absolutely ruined by a literal cavalry charge is my favorite part of this.
F*** YOU GAMES WORKSHOP!
Also, thanks for re-uploading this, smoketinytom! Always loved a 40K work where the Imperial Guards shine, and it's rare it does so without putting down anyone else.
Thank you for saving all SODAZ 40k clip, its really a shame he had to do that to work with them, keep the good fight and screw GW shaddy methods
Amazing animation, GW shouls realise that this is basically free advertising for them.
Artists and companies for this matter do not live of exposure
This still gives me chills xD especially that final exchange of glances between that tank commander and the krieg horseman :') as if finally the tank crewman/commander understands that behind the mask is more than human, it is undying faith in the emperor, contained in a shell hardened by horror and endless war.
Love the little subtle look towards the way the Guards are rolling from Krieg marine at 0:20. 'You are going where we are going.......ok then......'. Love this short, definitely one of the best.
Guardsmen: oh thank god! reinforcements! lead us, Space Marine!
Krieg: ...we didn't ask for help, but you can come with us as long as you don't get in our way.
Sodaz, You're always welcome in the SCP community, no copyright bullshit up in this hizit, but i realize art needs love and if SCP ain't you're thank Nothing can be helped! PEACE! And best of luck everywhere you go! Fuck GW
Khorne Beserker charging towards krieg
Krieg: also charging towards the berserker
Berserker: confused screaming
4:17 Even the Astartes is like "Yeah, I'm not getting between these mortals and the enemy. they can take point."
Too few people point this out. I really like that part. They could have had the walking armor be up front and act as a shield. but no. they do. they do take point.
Probably because they can’t shoot any traitors with an Astartes in front of them. It also appears to make good tactical sense; notice how they peel off to clear and cover the branching tunnels while the Marine keeps moving along the main route? My guess is they took point to make sure there wouldn’t be any surprises like a guy with a rocket launcher or krak grenade having a chance to kill the deadliest fighter in the group.
You’ll also notice the Kriegers who aren’t caught out in the open when the enemy HS/MG opens up immediately take cover until the Marine kills the gunner. A subtle but excellent way to show that even if they don’t place any value on their own lives, they’re not fucking stupid like some GW writers appear to believe.
They are expendable. They accept this. His Angel shall do the necessary work, aka taking out that heavy gun emplacement in the tunnels, they shall make sure he gets out with as little damage as possible if they can.
Dude, thank you so much for this. I love this animation.
Save this video guys if you can, GW did SODAZ dirty
No the community did him dirty
@@lilbost4 Correction: Minority.
England Fans aren’t racist, a minority expressed it.
@@smoketinytom when did I say anything about England being racist?
@@lilbost4 Never did. “The community” so whole community hates SODAZ. Not true, it was a minority action that was heard most.
@@smoketinytom a minority that has turned around and weaponized it, a minority that scared away tts because they blew it out of proportion. The majority needs to call out the minority.
I just fucking realized this amazing channel had also the best animation...are you shitting me GW?
What will never cease to amaze me with this video is just how amazing awesome the Krieg are represented. Normally Astartes steal the show but on more than one occasion Space Marines are saved by the mere mortals. The Krieg show no signs of fear, nor any f**ks given. "Oh no you stuck with me with a chainsword big bad Khorne Berserker. Let me introduce you to my krack grenade."
Commissar dies
Krieger: OH NO, anyways, charge
2:46-2:50 he has his helmet on but you can see how confused the astartes commander is, like "whoa, the fuck are these guys?! Alright! Let's do this!!" fucking beautiful.
This was an amazing video. It should have gotten more likes and views than it did but thanks you for all the work you put into this

SODAZ got screwed over. Thank you for doing this
The choreography of that berserker was amazing, exactly the kind of brutal efficiency you'd expect from one.
2:14 The Horn of Gondor sounds and the charge begins!
Very good video. It opens with a climax, follows with a climax, and ends on a climax.
The visual of the Death Korps leading the way, standing in front of the Space Marine at 4:15 was really nice
Yeah, good planning. The Krieger's were Infront and to the sides of the dark angel, protecting his flanksm also allows them to clear rooms BEFORE the dark angel moves past it, letting them have support, or just stop the angel from having a grenade launcher for dinner.
taking point for a Space Marine is prob the dream of every Guardsman
Dark Angel 1: "'Member horses?"
Dark Angel 2: "Ooohhh, I 'member.."
One of the most amazing 40K animations I have ever seen. And there's a lot of good ones. But this one also nails the storytelling 100% ...the Dark Angel at 3:31 is like "I'm not gonna be left behind by these crazy Kriegers! Here I come!"
Black Legionaries: "Hah! Loyalists! Your petty guard and weak Astartes are no match for chaos! Admit defeat, Dark Angel!"
Kriegsmen Death Riders: *"I'm about to preform the most baller move."*
Right on time with the reupload
God I miss sodaz work in warhammer, he so perfectly captured the tone of everything. The marine moving forward cold and calculating, the chaos marines furry, the krieg absolute lack of hesitation or fear, how hard it is to stop a marine. His work in warhammer was an absolute gift to the universe that is missed by me every day.
The guy with the shovel played too much soldier in tf2
nice pfp
@@gooseabuser5963 agreed
The kriegsman seem like people who would rocket jump into a fort
@@eternal7971 ok now I'm just imagining soldier screaming WAAAAGH
@@nihaxwehraweeb5550 now I’m imagining the Heavy as a Flash Gitz
Sees a Chaos marine, pulls out a shovel (happy muffled gas mask noises)
