The most unbelievably destructive, wasteful and incredibly awesome war that 40k has ever seen. If the Death Korps of Krieg aren't your favs already then they will be by the end of this video

    When I first thought about covering this obscenely over the top event in the lore, I was told I was biting off more than I could chew.... Good thing I have a big ass mouth. To see the death whores of Kreg go here : www.patreon.com/majorkill

    In summary: Everything went wrong, all the time. Then it just kept escalating until nothing was left but a quarantined nightmare sector of space.
  • Dark Angels: We have succeeded in our objectives and now we shall leave. The 88th IG siege army: But…you didn’t do anything but sabotage our own operations. Dark Angels: What sorry can’t hear you!
  • When the Khornate Berzerkers retreated to fight another day. When the Alpha Legion performs a last stand. When the Inquisition doesn't completely exterminate a planet after fighting an entire army of demons and chaos marines on it. When the Death Korps of Krieg gain self-preservation instinct. What the fuck?
  • @boredgrizz6037
    If the Death Korps of Krieg just so happened to have space marines, would they be called a Kriegsmarine?
  • @RogueFox7050
    The Alpha Legion and Tzeench definitely had a field day with this war.
  • @codyevett2098
    “The only one doing it is Arch.” Oculus Imperia is doing a Vraks series right now. It’s really good.
  • The little indication that Alpharius may have sent the Alpha Legionnaires there to make the Imperium take Vraks more seriously was totaly unexpected but makes a lot of sense
  • @paulverse4587
    One of the most ferocious wars in an entire sector of the galaxy, with an entire high-tech futuristic planet defending, aided by legions of the Warp, and yet still signifcantly less casaulties than World War 2. While I get that just massively inflating numbers to match the scenario (so probably more like a few billion defenders) just makes everything sounds way ridicolously over-the-top and less personal, these very low numbers also just ... don't match.

    Every Kriegsman when hearing the word seige: happy gas mask noises and lazer-packs arming
  • "The bodies of us and our foes, A sea of death it overflows, In No Man's Land, God only knows, Into the jaws of death, we go!"
  • Hey what if, at the end of the siege, the alpha legion swapped their armor with the world eaters? Purposely confusing the imperial leaders and also giving the dark angles a reason to stick around.
  • @lionheart6176
    imagine being a Krieger that was in that battle from the first deployment all the way to the end of the siege.
  • While I did enjoy Arch's more in depth approach, I'll always appreciate the short and simple ways to a good battle video.
  • Zuphor: “Alright lads I guess my work here is done.” Everyone defending the last line: “Bruh”
  • @whyjnot420
    "...and died like the sons of (w)horus they were." This is how I imagine the script would have been written if there was one in the first place.
  • @jerubaal101
    I love the image of the Korpsman on the horse. It's an homage to a painting of Napoleon.
  • What you get when you throw Verdun, Caporetto, Passchendaele, the Brusilov Offensive, the Somme, Leningrad, Stalingrad, Kursk, Okinawa, Brno, Khe Sahn and Long Tan in a blender? You get Vraks.
  • @mylex817
    20-30 million dead in a 17 year siege? That's not actually that bad, like 150 dead people an hour, kind of on the scale of the Battle of Verdun. GW messing up the scale again....
  • @do3807
    Dude this was horrifying, and arduous, a whole ordeal that would cause so much trauma. Just Tuesday for a Kriegsman
