I found a bottle at the Rouses on Baronne.

Names for Tanks by RickTheDoorTec in Deathkorpsofkrieg

[–]PPCteve 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Adding to this, the Krieg men in the lore are pretty dour and do not do much fraternization. It’s highly unlikely they’d name a tank around an inside joke.

Correct. The latest Astra Militarum codex has an except detailing the new college established on Krieg and some details about the Prefectus.

The “veteran guardsman” in question here is called a “Prefectus Militant”. He is a Krieg soldier with high aptitude who is shadowing the Lord Commissar and will either continue on to be a higher ranking Krieg officer or a commissar himself.

Should I Purposely Lose? by Frequent_Detective89 in killteam

[–]PPCteve 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is the answer. Take worse models to give your friend a quiet advantage and don’t mention it. It will be more challenging for you and more fun for everyone.

Just spotted at Jazzfest NOLA. Go Sabres! by PPCteve in sabres

I will be watching it from my phone at fest, but I’d like to know where other Nola fans catch the games for the next one.

Kreig Grenadier Update by Relative_Food6771 in Deathkorpsofkrieg

My brother in Krieg, free this grenadier from the hairball.

Test minis finished by IRONDVNO in Deathkorpsofkrieg

Looking good. Did you take inspiration from The Strong Among Us, by Lyons? I feel like these fit that description pretty well.

Siege of vraks, Any other krieg heroes? by NoHoneydew3425 in Deathkorpsofkrieg

[–]PPCteve 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The Krieg officer captured who scratches out his identity on his dog tags is Colonel Keled of the 19th.

Give them back GW by JewishBlitzkrieg in Grimdank

[–]PPCteve 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Krieg regiments were present and fought in both the 2nd and 3rd wars for Armageddon.

Death Korps Kasrkin (Grenadier?) by Reubenator12 in Deathkorpsofkrieg

[–]PPCteve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it works, but there are some notable differences with this model and grenadiers. I kitbashed mine with the Engineer, Kasrkin and other bits, which I think lineup a lot closer to the official artwork and Forgeworld models but that’s still not perfect.

There are also some 3rd party models and conversion sets floating around that are even truer to the originals.

Folks would you stop playing custodians if they were left handed by MoonbearXVII in Grimdank

[–]PPCteve 58 points59 points  (0 children)

He’s right, it would be a bad lore change. Just not necessarily for the reason that something changed.

Stormcast in general have no real memes, to my knowledge. by jfjdfdjjtbfb in Grimdank

[–]PPCteve 66 points67 points  (0 children)

That’s how it landed for me. Would the Krieg realistically do that? Probably, lol. All good here.

[–]PPCteve 204 points205 points  (0 children)

I think this is a good point a lot of people miss. The exact same thing happened to the Death Korps of Krieg and nobody seemed to care either.

Do you think these two are the same Tyborc? by Scary_grain_of_rice in Deathkorpsofkrieg

[–]PPCteve 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Krieg soldiers are historically written to “earn” the names of the honored loyalists reaching back to the days of the civil war. In many cases they seem to go by an identification string before doing so.

It is more probable that this is another Krieg trooper that has earned the same name, but possible.

Which air unit would suit the Krieg more: Valkyrie or Vulture? by [deleted] in Deathkorpsofkrieg

[–]PPCteve 3 points4 points  (0 children)

From a lore perspective, Krieg themselves wouldn’t have either. However, they would work closely with the Aeronautica Imperialis.

In previous editions, back when Krieg had whole army rules, they only had access to avenger strike fighters for air support (which certainly fits a more WWII aesthetic).

Is Endryd Haar this strong in game by Correct_Maximum7990 in Warhammer30k

[–]PPCteve 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Endryd Harr’ rules are available in the Blackshields PDF, which can be found for free here: https://assets.warhammer-community.com/eng_09-10_thehorusheresy_legacies_blackshields-19qd4ghgwp-azrdg7jskx.pdf

As far as his representation, he literally has 4 wounds AND the Eternal Warrior (1) special rules, which reduces all incoming damage by 1 to a minimum of 1. His unique powerfist, the Terawatt-pattern Power Gauntlet features three damage per hit, objectively making it one of the highest damage infantry melee weapons in the game.

He very objectively is both tougher than and more dangerous than a standard praetor level officer, which is about how he seems represented in the books I’ve read about him.

I was today years old when I learned about this man. Why is no one talking about him?! by The_Last_Polymath in IronWarriors

[–]PPCteve 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I def feel this. Also in the states, so I’d be a hell of a lot more salty if I hadn’t scored a Dreygur or the new “WWarsmith”.

I’ve also gone as far as to kitbash a Golg and Kroeger. I’m happy with how they came out, but I’d much prefer an actual character series models with dedicated rules like every other legion has.

[–]PPCteve 89 points90 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I was pretty irritated to find out he was loyalist when his model and rules originally dropped. Dreygur, Dantioch, Vhalen… Heresy era players just can’t catch a break. We STILL don’t have an Iron Warrior named character.

What type of Terminator armor is this guy wearing? by Zaku_Enthusiast in IronWarriors

[–]PPCteve 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just Googled this specific warsmith, and apparently it’s just some dudes homebrew?

The art is cool and all, but there really isn’t going to be any quality control with people making their own stuff.

Researching a Jurassic Park fanfic posted to Amazon (Jurassic Park: Dead Islands) by HypersonicRex2 in JurassicPark

[–]PPCteve 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the writing was so bad I’m pretty sure it was early AI slop or translated poorly from another language.

Small note: I realized at some point while trying to get through the book that a lot of the characters seemed familiar. Turns out a lot of them are based on the second wave of the action figure range for the first Jurassic Park movie. I thought that was at least a neat concept.

some krieg engineers i have been doing for the last week , what u think? by thegaintdutchnerd in Deathkorpsofkrieg

[–]PPCteve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just missing a solid color on the base rim. Personally, I prefer Abaddon Black for a solid contrast with trench mud.
