40K - THE DEATH KORPS OF KRIEG | Warhammer 40,000 Lore / History

This 90 min video was a heavy haul for me at the end of this year, but I hope that you will enjoy what I guess is Part one for the Death Korps. There's still some more stuff I want to try and get done before the actual end of the year, BIG THANKS FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT THIS YEAR.

Tried to sneak this one by us at 1AM but I'm always watching Luetin. Always.

A 90 minute video? The emperor truly has answered our Christmas prayers

Could you imagine how unbelievably pissed off a Krieg army would be if they were accidently tasked to garrison a paradise world

To quote our humble servant "The emperor, should he ever awaken from his throne, could destroy the unbreakable Death Korps with one single sentence..... 'I forgive you" Hearing that still gives me chills. The sad irony and tragedy that is the Death Korps of Krieg.

Krieg is like a never ending WW1 horror.

The Kriegsman knows no fear, because before his first battle, he has accepted that he is already dead.

"In life, war. In death, peace." "In life, shame. In death, atonement." -Final Litany of The Death Corp or Kreig before battle.

Adeptus administratium clerk: “upon your reunification with the Imperium you will need to provide a single regiment. How many troops have you levied?” The leader of Krieg: “200,000 units ready, with a million more well on the way.”

The death korps of sleep All hail Luetin the lore master of the Imperium

The lore master has once again blessed us with his knowledge. Thank you kind sir

The Death Korps of Krieg, where our motto is "Pyrrhic victory is best victory!"

I am reminded of the Guard novel Dead Men Walking. An officer character is captured by chance by a few civilians and they plant themselves in front of a column of Kreigsmen. Officer shouts at them to halt while the kidnappers scream demands. Then they are all gunned down. And as the officer lie there dying, he feels a quartermaster retrieving the officers wargear and struggles to keep his sword.

Just got home from work and there's a 90 minute video on the death korps cutie death squad. It's a chrimbus miracle.

This is exactly what I needed tonight. Thank you Lutein, this year wouldn't have been the same without you.

Man, I’ve had one hard year mentally… But without going to deep I just want you to know, these videos saved my life. Listening to these whilst in bed has saved me from my thoughts and helped my mind to find peace. Now I’m back to my old self, I now find them more enjoyable… instead of using them as a simple sleep aid, I now look listen to them from start to finish. Much respect my friend, brilliant content

My hypothesis is that the Korpsmen are definitely humanborn, but the conditions of the Krieg population leave them doomed to crippling mutation and frequent womb death, resulting in the necessitation of the Vitae Wombs. They aren't cloned directly, so much as they are artificially infused with stable DNA of the late Colonel. This fills in the damaged parts of the genetic structure and instills the resulting Korpsman with the steady calm of Jurten, but the Korpsmen's own innate noticing that they are effectively missing part of their soul (the part lost to mutation, expunged and substituted with the Vitae Womb's generation processes) leads to them being suicidally aggressive. Were it not for Jurten's devotion pushing them to a cause, they would be savage bastards who turned on humans the moment they had the chance to.

Can we petition to get Luetin a cameo in the 40k series in development with Henry Cavil? I can totally see hearing Luetin's voice over a vox-caster as some Imperial Admiral or General.

Oh man I usually never post comments on YouTube but I've been struggling for a year with depression, anxiety and insomnia, and I cannot stress enough how helpful your videos have been to help me sleep. I don't play tabletop and know Warhammer through the fantasy universe, but with Darktide's release I finally delved into the 40K Grimdark and I must say you offer such a great content among other YouTubers that I just fell in love with your channel. What I want to say is thank you for all this work you put in, thank you for the precision and clarity with which you engage on your subjects. Have a wonderful Christmas and happy New year, Love from France, Ronan.

I would think that the Kriegsman are not quite identical clones, just clones using Yutin's DNA similar to the Votann. So all of the Kriegsman would look "related", but not identical.
