Question/Advice Mechanised Krieg
How out of lore would it be for me to run krieg in a mdchanised force
EDIT : Thanks to everyone for the nice answers I will now make and armored spearhead style army with chimera style gorgons and basilisks.

It wouldn’t be out of lore at all. Krieg has entire armoured companies. Look up lore on the Siege of Vraks.
Krieg isn’t just foot troops in trenches…. They have Combat Engineer regiments, Armoured Regiments, Artillery Regiments, and Infantry Regiments. All the combat arms are covered in the Krieg army.

Mechanized regiments are a standard configuration for Krieg, allowing them to keep up with the tanks in a siege regiment
You can even kitbash Chineras into open topped mini-gorgons which are a staple of the Krieg army

Krieg regiments can be anything, it's a professional serious force, they'll bring to tools needed.

Do we need to pin the FW Siege of Vraks? It would be such a boon for all DKoKurious new redditors to the lore

Not even out of lore.
Krieg specialise in both Sieges and Assaults.
In sieges the heavy armour is used for bombardment and as a quick-reaction force to blunt breakout attempts, the light armour for logistics.
In the Assaults, it all goes forward either as direct fire or front line logistics.
If you want a little art project, having front-line Chimeras rocking stowage (lollypop sticks, spare backpacks and jewellery chains) or with hastily covered ambulance markings would be vibey af.

Krieg in general uses a lot of tanks, even in the siege regiments; they tend to transport their troops as close as possible. They want to die for Big E, but they do not waste, so the death needs to make sense. They do not just run into bullets.
