It’s not everyday we get a new updated and characterful army for 6th Edition. Everyone behold the modernized Death Korps of Kreig.
Thank you Forgeworld:
Here’s the two special rules you see all over the place in the list:
Death Korps
The Death Korps of Krieg are infamously resolute and grimly determined soldiers, able to fight on where others would flee or break down in terror. They are hardened by the bleak conditions on their birth world, fortified by iron faith in the Emperor and subjected to a brutal regime of indoctrination and military training from birth.
As well as having a higher Weapon Skill than a common Imperial Guardsman (this has already been included in their profiles), units with this special rule are immune to Fear and do not take Morale checks for suffering 25% shooting casualties.
Iron Discipline (Death Korps Officers only)
Death Korps officers have no fear of death and will gladly lay down their lives in the name of the Emperor, and will demand and expect nothing less from those they command. Any unit with the Death Korps special rule that is falling back but has at least one model within 6” of a Krieg officer (of any rank) may attempt to regroup normally, regardless of whether or not it has been reduced to 25% of its starting number.
Some cool notes:
-Centaurs are pretty cool little tankettes and towing artillery is fairly snazzy!
-Hades Breaching remains neutered
-Cyclops doesn’t do a whole lot but they are mighty fun to use!
-OMG that is a crazy amount of DeathRiders you can field if you want!
~So what’s your thoughts on the new list? any hints of what may be to come for the updated IG codex of next year?
