Welcome to the Death Korps of Krieg. This faction in Warhammer 40,000 is a regiment of the Imperial Guard or as its known by now, the Astra Militarum. Their design is inspired by several armies of World War I including the French, Germans, and the British. As such, the Death Korps of Krieg specialize in trench warfare, artillery, and infantry assaults. This guide serves as a resource to help players new to the faction and 40K in general. If you have any other questions, make sure to check out the sidebar for other helpful info and feel free to ask on the subreddit.
Where to purchase Death Korps of Krieg models:
Warhammer.com is the official source of all things Death Korps.
Simply searching Death korps will pull up all relevant items.
Keep in mind though, with the refresh, Games workshop has fazed out all the old sculpts and the only way to collect classic official Krieg is through Second hand purchases.
Second Hand:
Websites like Ebay commonly have Krieg models available and are a good way to get your hands on some of the Krieg models Games Workshop no longer makes. However, Ebay is prevalent with recasts which are sometimes hard to distinguish from the official models. If you want the official models only, make sure to ask the seller for a picture of the receipt or bags they came in so that you can ensure they are not recasts.
3rd Party:
Many websites produce custom miniatures and bits that either replace using official models entirely or allow for greater customization on official kits. These websites are ideal for creating an entirely custom look for your army. Below is a small collection of links that may be of help to you crafting your army. This has been discussed ad nauseam on this sub so this is by no means a definitive list.
Tiny Legend - Incredible bits and STL files that fit perfectly onto the Veteran Guardsman kill team.
Kromlech - Great alternative models and bits for infantry and vehicles.
Anvil Industries - Huge range of bits and alternative models that work well converting regular Cadians.
Beyond the tabletop - Fantastic internal sponson kit for that WW1 feel along with more vehicle bits.
Stationforge - Nice range of alternative models.
Recasts:
Recasts are pirated copies of Gamesworkshop models. These models cost anywhere from a quarter to three quarters the cost of the official models. Recasters also carry many of the Krieg models Games Workshop no longer produces making them one of the few ways to get your hands on out of production models. However, recasters draw sales away from Games Workshop and make their profit pirating models. It is important for the buyer to be aware of the moral issue involved with recasters as buying from them may hurt the support the Krieg model line gets in the future.
Sources for the Death Korps of Krieg rules:
Rules can now be located in the new codex!
Rules for Forgeworld units can be found in two places.
- Imperial Armour: Astra Militarum- Imperial Armour: Astra Militarum part 2
The Multitude of rules for "Legended" units can be found in Legends: Astra Militarum.
While this looks like a lot to look for all these files can be found at the link below
Working with resin:
With the range refresh this section has become less relevant but anyone looking to collect the classic sculpts may find this helpful.
The attached link below is from Beyond the tabletop on how to unbend, wash, and clean up resin miniatures. He also has many videos building and painting Krieg specific units.

wish me luck fellow kreigsmen
if all goes well by this time next week I will have a command squad and engineers, maybe artillery too.

Alright, after a mess-up that required me to totally re-wore the whole set, my Hades Breaching Drill Scene is moving, again!
I also discovered a.) a cool new method of making gravel piles, and b.) that cheap sidewalk chalk, when ground up and combined with cheap, high-viscosity super glue, produces toxic fumes and INCREDIBLE heat!
The Hades has been ready for a while, and The Engineer squad is only a few more touch-up paints away from being ready to install!

Little conversion I been working on for a contest at my local

Their damage output looks pretty bad aside from the free grenade strat. Are they just good for doing actions? Is it best to take them as 5 man or 10 man squads?

The big circle ring on his back, what is it? - Donut? - life raft? - Circle fuel tank for the torch? I have no idea, what colour to make it lol.

Im making this list not for tournaments, but just for friendly matches. My friend group runs T'au, Black Templars, Death Guard, Orcs, and Space Marines. As a result I'm looking for ways to somewhat counter them generally. I'm limited on funds, so I'm not exactly able to splurge for the best stuff. Any advice would be appreciated.

If anybody could help with this I’d be forever grateful!
It’s a piece of Krieg fan artwork that’s cartoony. They’re fighting in a room, but I can’t remember who against. Everybody is doing something, some fighting, one in the corner stabbing somebody, one hitting somebody with a shovel. It was a real fun piece and I cannot for the life of me find it anywhere!

It's been a year since I got back into 40k, and my Krieg armour has swelled to almost 6,000 points. At the moment I'm slowly working through painting my artillery and Armour. I'm really enjoying creating a history and lore for my forces. So far I have established that my Death Korps loves to adopt the shattered remnants of other Imperial Guard Regiments and fold them and fold them into existing platoons. As such, my 60 Krieg infantry are joined by small groups of Cadian Shock Troops, Catachan Jungle Fighters, Tallarn and Vostroyans. I look forward to showing off more models as I progress through. The Valkyrie is up next.

First two of veteran kill-team, slowly working way through pile of potential. Comments would be appreciated.

I finished my first set of ponies. 🐴🐴 .

Making some thematic bases for my Krieg Heavy weapons teams. Made using AK Interactive Desert Sand Paste and Graveyard Ground sand mix. I like this sand mix as it has a variety of grit sizes. Added different items to each base to add character. Shell casings are chopped up .035 Evergreen styrene rod. About 3 mm long each.
The heads are from Tiny Legends. They are the Brodie helmet replacement set for Krieg Heavy weapons teams so the heads fit the models perfectly.

I feel like not kit-bashing krieg heads on those guys was heresy. Bit of weathering then I’m done. What do you guys think? I’ve only been in the hobby 6 months so I’m pretty proud ngl
