14:40 HONORABLE Field execution. That makes a huge difference, at least to the Kriegers themselfs. Because one is a Punishment for Failing in your duty to theEmperor, while the other is a recognition of a duty fulfilled, and Attonement earned.

I would probably go for either a Death Rider or a Quartermaster. I feel that both roles really embody the Krieg style and personality. Charging in with cavalry in a universe populated with incredibly powerful ranged weaponry fits their resilience and disregard for overwhelming odds. As for the Quartermasters, the duty of mercy killing your own men and scraping up whatever can be salvaged really embodies their fatalistic way of life. Absolutely love the Death Korps and I'm very glad you're covering them!

They really are one of the most badass guard regiments in the lore, the only ones I know about that even come near their level are the maccabian janissaries, mordians and the chem-dogs imo

That would depend on which version of the 13th Black Crusade you're referring to. The Gathering Storm storyline retconned a lot of older 13th BC lore, unfortunately.

I once proceeded to provide support fire to them, when advancing I took headshots after headshots with my stubber, during the close-quarters combat case I used my shotgun, well cleared that hive sector faster then you do a reaction can, good guys game a new entrenching tool, still have it, only issues people think I'm sexist when speaking to my commissar, not my fault her hearing went down, so I have to shaout,

Not quite, the helmet is a combination of WW1 German and French helmets, the trench coats are WW 1 French, the gas mask are based on French -German WW 1 material but Russian design, the spats or gaiters are multi- National WW 1. The pouches are the square German leather kind but again WW 1. Their fighting techniques are from WW 1 as well.
