i don't know why you think this is even a debate

the alternate truth has yet to be revealed

DEATH KORPS SON

WHAT A STUPID QUESTION.

Elysians are cooler. Half of the DKoK's cool value comes from gasmasks, ridiculous prices, and a menacing name.

Elysians are the balls-to-the-motherfucking-walls types who drop in with no artillery or armor support, mix it up at close range with a far superior foe (they are guardsmen, after all,), and do in hours what it would take the DKoK years to do.

But I'm biased, so, you know, go ahead and ignore me.

Is your GM the type to make you regret picking cool over useful?

Elysians dude

I don't think your spaceship has enough room to carry the amount of Death KoK needed to win wars

Elysians are American paratroopers circa WW2.

DKOK are stupidly named French trenchers circa WW1

What sort of unamerican faggot are you to even consider this question?

>>6573678
No, he's the kind who'd work to make whichever army I pick have it's uses.

>>6573746
>French trenchers circa WW1
I think you mean german trenchers.

Death Korps would be more useful in boarding actions due to their superior skill in close-quarters combat. Their experience in hazardous environments would also make them more useful when exploring uncharted planets.

Elysians are drop-troopers, which is a big plus, but they need the equipment to do their thing. Getting half a dozen Valkyries for them is going to take some work, as will 100 or so grav chutes.

I would go with the Korps. Especially if the ship is equipped with a teleportarium.

If my encounters with Elysians on the tabletop are any indication, almost all of them will die. The few that survive will almost immediately be run over by some Orks in a trukk.

I assume your Captain character is part of the company of troops.

Either way, I guess it's up to you. Are you better at roleplaying in a Midwestern/Southern American accent or a German accent?

Where does your Rogue Trader get the connections necessary to keep a company of one of the finest regiments in the Imperium on board a ship when they should be fighting in any number of hotspots in the galaxy? I mean, I can see a contingent of the 304th Buttfuck Blades from Planet Derpsville on your ship, but if you get Kriegers, won't they mutiny the moment they realise there's a lot of downtime involved in this assignment?

I don't get why people think the Death Korps are so amazing.

They're badass because they are fearless motherfuckers who are quite willing to drawn the enemy in their dead, not for any sort of skills as warriors.

I'd take Drop Troops in a second. They're easier to supply, better for the kind of missions you'll be doing, and won't madly rush any foe they see.

>>6573834
OH NO NO NO!! were not starting this one

>>6573899

On the other hand, drop troops are very useful for planetary assaults. It depends on whether he's going to be doing a lot of pillaging other ships or conquering worlds.

You should take some Cathachans or Valhallans.

Why are you limiting your choices to Elysians or Death Korps?

>>6574698
I figured they'd be not unlike Detachment D-99 from IA4. An understrength force that's been dispatched on the ship instead of folded into another squad. Depending on what our Rogue Trader's goals are, maybe the company was sent to help colonize planets, kill xenos, or even make sure the Rogue Trader isn't up to no good.

Proper Imperial regiments don't belong on an RT ship. Get a company of Savlar Chem Dogs, they've got the proper attitude for Rogue Traders.

>>6574719

How the shit do you get ze French anyway

I mean they come from a world called KRIEG (German)

they wear Stalhelms(also German)

And they also have names like Himmel von Paulus, and WILHELM

The only arguable point I can see is whether they are more WWI or WWII

>>6574818

D-99 served an Inquisitor I think. Makes sense for the Inquisition to recruit veteran, elite troops. I'd say that it would be challenging for a Rogue Trader to acquire those, though.

>>6574858
But not impossible. Perhaps the platoon was stationed on the ship when it was participating in actions alongside the Imperial Navy, and for whatever reason didn't have a chance to disembark before the ship went off on adventures or got isolated from the rest of the fleet through warp shenanigans.

>>6574818
There you are. Kriegsmen won't be sent off to potentially colonize new worlds. An Elysium drop trooper who survived long enough WOULD.

>>6574906

Or someone in command owes the Trader dynasty a favor. There's a good bit of potential backstory and plot hooks to be had here, actually.

Rogue Trader steals an Imperial Guard platoon. Hilarity ensues.

Oh god...

oh god...

Salvar chem dogs... they'd be super rowdy and always fighting but god damn, as soon as your rogue trader taylor steps onto the bridge of the ship they'll listen to him.

god damn.

>>6574950
>>6574906
This shit happens all the fucking time. Hell the Administratum have been known to misplace entire planets.
I doubt a hundred men or so would be missed for maybe a year or more if warp travel's involved and by the time they realise they've got more dudes in and don't really give a shit, probably just mark them off as MIA.

>>6573899
> Death Korps would be more useful in boarding actions due to their superior skill in close-quarters combat.

Actually the Elysians are the ones who are better at boarding actions since they are specially trained for such tasks due to all the pirates that are active near their homeworld

Although the Death Korps might be more useful if say you had a large battle that took place on the outside of a large ship or something like that

Krieg are faggots, go with the Drop Troops.

"We'll follow you into hell, sir", the Sergeant said with a grin.
"And how will you do that?" I asked.
The Sergeant snapped a salute. "FEET FIRST"

>>6574999
you'd be a faggot if you didn't take chem dogs now.

Do yourself a favor and try to figure out why on earth soldiers that specialize in trench warfare would even be a consideration as opposed to troops who normally conduct ship to ship operations.

Also, read Starship Troopers.

>>6574999

>rogue trader taylor
I see what you did there

>>6575009

Those morons at the Administartum have done it again. I requisitioned a crate of jackhammers. What we got were several squads of Death Korps of Krieg and no jackhammers at all. What the hell were they thinking? The Death Korps of Krieg serve no purpose on a mining vessel!

I'm sending them back as soon as I get the time. Meanwhile, I would appreciate it if you could lodge another complaint with the Administratum and expedite my jackhammers when they do arrive.

>>6575092

Now I'm picturing some bored Administratum adept on Terra entertaining himself by replacing orders for supplies or equipment with requisitions of Krieger companies.

"And finally, to the good people of Frak IV, a lifetime supply of icecream."
"Well what flavor is it?"
"Regiment of Krieg."

>>6575126
I'm picturing the Death Korps being shipped in crates.

>>6575172

Maybe they're delivered in pill form. Just add water, like Marvin's Instant Martians.

>>6575037
"We're airborne! We're meant to be surrounded!"

>>6575126
God damn it the administratum screwed up again, instead of that package of high grade LHO sticks that i ordered i got sent a krieger.

I don't know what to do, he keeps standing around in my quarters just standing at attention in his gasmask.
Its very disconcerting.

>>6575126
"Ah, finally. Our medicine shipment has arrived," the planetary governor said to his aide as he watched the Imperial Lander descend towards the landing platform. "Now, perhaps my little girl will live to see another Emperor's Day..."

The governor and his aide made their way to the now-landed craft, the aide's auto-scribe already scribbling out a speech for the governor to give to his people. The bay door of the craft slowly slid open, and, much to the governor's dismay, out stepped half a dozen Guardsmen, wearing long trenchcoats and distinctive gasmasks.

"Wha...KRIEGERS!"

"A genetic disorder... like a mutation?... PROUD SONS OF KRIEG, WHAT DO WE DO TO THE MUTANT WHO HAD SPOILED OUR HOME, WE DESTROY THEM AND THEIR VILE FILTH AT WHAT EVER COST"

the kriegers then proceed dig an earthworks around the little girls bed.

There's a story in one of the Dangerous Visions books in which Jack the Ripper is kidnapped by a time-traveling mage and dropped into a city where all the people are just... extruded by a machine, somewhere, out of little pills. They're anatomically correct, inside and out, they display all the right behaviors, but somehow, as he's slitting women's throats and then dissecting them, he feels it's not the same.

Hello Jamio

What are we gonna do with all those Death Korp? We've got two shipments of excess medical equipment coming in very soon and we're gonna need the space. I can't believe someone mis-shipped those guys. I can't think of a more useless group of people than the Death Korps on a mining ship!?! Anyway you gotta help me get rid of these Kriegers.

Thanks,

This is now the official backstory for how OP's Rogue Trader ended up with a Krieg company.

OP here. I'm not sure what's become of my thread, but I like it.

rolled 64 = 64

General tiamat smoked his Lho-stick silently as he stood before the company of men in those distinctive masks, his face red with fury. He slowly repeated himself to the Officer at hand, "One more time...Are you, or are you not, sure that this was marked a shipment of Baneblades?" The officer shifted slightly, his eyes glued to the dataslate. "Y-Yes sir...T-Twenty Baneblades Sir...The-" The general exploded on the man, his Lho-stick flying out of his mouth "THESE ARE KRIEGERS YOU DAMNED FOOL."

The general reached down, and pulled another Lho-stick from his belt pouch, while walking over to the first, and most senior Krieger in the formation, marked as N-53, the General eyed the man, staring hard into the opaque mask that shielded the mans face. Brining his shaking hand up to his mouth, he reaches back down for his trusty lighter.

N-53's swift motion startled the general, bringing his combi-melta to a shortened rifle salute, the Krieger deftly activates the weapon, releasing a small flame. Recovering quickly, the general lights his Lho-Stick with the flame, before taking a drag. "You Kriegers better be worth a baneblade each."

The general turns to leave, when he hears a long rattling breath as the Krieger begins, his voice muffled behind his mask.

"SIR, ON OUR HONOR SIR. WE ARE WORTH OUR WEIGHT IN BANEBLADES SIR."

The General's hand goes up to his Lho-stick after another drag, the shake had vanished.

Maybe the Administratum didn't make a mistake after all...

>>6575208
The governor watched the Kriegers from the balcony of his governor's mansion. The clones had spent the last week digging an extensive trench system through his beloved garden. His aide stood behind him, everpresent and ever-silent. "There's got to be something we can do with them..."

He hadn't become planetary governor by being inflexible, and had quickly adapted to the 50 Death Korps veterans he'd received in place of medicine. Several squad medics had been sent into town to treat the sick (mostly through the liberal application of bone saws), while he'd simply ordered the rest to serve as his bodyguards. Thus the ruined tulips. "There's got to be SOMETHING we can do with them!" he shouted, pounding his fist against the railing.

A loud knock at the door interrupted his thoughts. His aide handed him a sheet of paper, a briefing on the Rogue Trader he was meeting with. "A Rogue Trader, eh?" said the governor, a smile spreading across his face. He opened the door and greeted the trader with a firm handshake. "Rogue Trader...Jarvis, was it? Have I got a deal for you..."

>>6575595
>first time in /tg/.
This'll gonna be a new meme, I just know it.

Living with the Kriegers would be so weird.
I mean, try to picture them when they are going to sleep, in briefs and gasmasks. Only. They wake up, and the age old dilemma of Krieg "how do I brush my teeth with a gasmask on?" makes them contemplate the grim and fatalistic destiny they're happy to be born to yet again. And don't make me start about breakfast.

>>6575605
Awwwwww, i was serious :(

I just got a mental image of a guy walking through his house, and all his furniture is made of Kriegers simply standing there, arranged into shapes of chairs and tables.

I made a fortune by selling all my unused or broken Kriegers!

Fuck it, this is the fluff of my IG army. I have some Kriegers mixed in with Steel Legion, and they look a little silly next to each other.

They ordered Leman Russes. They got Kriegers.

>>6575595
Get the fuck out you fucking faggot

something something something archive

>>6575799
not yet, we need moar writefaggotry

Instead of Food, we got Kriegers.
They are not tasty.

>>6575845
They taste like gasmask.

When life gives you lemons, you make Lemon-Aid.

When life doesn't give you lemons, it'll give you something half as useful.

Damn Kriegers.

>>6575845
They came for brains.

You'll give them...Kriegers.

I opened a letter I got in the mail once, that was supposed to have a Christmas card. A Krieger came out.

I'm stuck with a Krieger, and some General out there has my Christmas card.

Fuck my life.

So, I'm trying to run a little donut shop, right? My shipment comes in, the one I ordered. It was supposed to have some baking equipment in it. I opened it, fucking Kriegers popped out. They found a jackhammer and made a trench on the fucking sidewalk. Every time I get a customer, the damn Kriegers shoot them before they can come inside! I'm losing all my money! What do I do?

I recall the Tyrannid attack on Octavious Prime.

We were overrun within days, the entire planet over run with mindless, xenos scum. I recall the order for Exterminatus ringing over the vox. I watched the bombs drop from dozens of ships bent on annihilating the lost planet.

I said a prayer to the Emperor for any lost soul stranded on that rock as we prepped for warp-travel and began to think ahead to my next battle. That's when I head it, over the vox, hundreds of voices singing battle hymns and the sound of gun fire.

Damned fools sent us Kriegers instead of Planet Busters.

I bet the bastards are still trenched in and alive down there, too.

>>6575924
Sell Kriegers instead of donuts idiot.

>>6575958
WHO WOULD WANT TO BUY A KRIEGER?

So I ordered a burger down at the local McBurger...
I got a Krieger instead.

>>6575879
"WHERE ARE MY REINFORCEMENTS? THERE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE REINFORCEMENTS!" The Krieg sergeant shouted into his vox as he took cover in a foxhole alongside the remainder of his squad.

"Sir!" the vox-master responded, "I think...reinforcements just arrived! I'll send a runner to you!"

Several mortars exploded nearby, showering the sergeant with mud and blood. He poked his head over the edge of the foxhole, looking for the reinforcements. He wouldn't be able to take that hill without them. Through the smoke he spotted a lone runner making his way across the hellish killing field. Just one. A single runner.

Several shots slammed into the mud just in front of the sergeant, forcing him to duck down. He raised his lasgun and fired some blind shots back in response. The other two soldiers he'd been sharing the hole with were dead, he noticed. There was nothing to it, he was going to have to take that hill, reinforcements or none.

"SARGE! SARGE!" The runner was just a few yards away, pinned down in a shallow crater. "CATCH!" he shouted, flinging a green envelope to the sergeant, just before catching a slugga round right between the eyes. The sergeant caught the envelope and ducked deep into his hole as he tore it open. Inside was a colorful card, with some sort of hoofed animal on the front with a glowing red nose. Probably xeno. The sergeant opened the card, and read the message inside aloud, trying to understand. "Merry...Christ-mas?" he muttered.

"MERRY KRIMMAST TO YA TOO, HUMIE!" the Ork Boy shouted as it jumped into the foxhole.

So I bought a t-shirt online for a friend of mine, his birthday.
GOT A FUCKING KRIEGER!

Somewhere, on some battlefield, a Krieg force is getting the shit kicked out of it. THey keep calling for reinforcements, but so far all they have revived are crates full of jackhammers, some medical supplies and baking equipment.

>>6576107
"Yes! Reinforcements!"
It was the Planet Busters.

-i just deliver stuff. If you want to complain, there are Munitorium representatives for it.
-But...
-Look. I just pilot a damned arvus lighter, i'm not a fucking walking cogitator.
-Hey...
-Man, i have three more runs to the orbit to do today. Just sign the damned form.
-DOES THAT LOOK LIKE A FUCKING SET OF RARE FLOWER SEEDS FOR THE GARDEN OF A SHRINE TO SAINT ASPERA TO YOU? DOES IT?

Near the ship was a group of thirty or so Death Korps of Krieg. Some of them looked confused, the rest was entrenching.

i hope somebody will archive this shit

>>6572876
Elysians would fit better for a Rogue Trader environment.

Krieg troops aren't trained for orbital insertion. They aren't all Siege regiment Cannon Fodder, Krieg does field all sorts of other regiments like armor and mechanized heavy infantry regiments and the like, but they are generally all designed around extended brutal ground campaigns, not really the sort of stuff most Rogue Traders would be doing.

Creed watched the battlefield. His tactical genius would soon be revealed when his Baneblade arrived.

"Sir! The Baneblade is gone, but a few dozen Kriegers arrived!"

Creed's cigar fell right from his mouth.
"KRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEG!"

The Kriegers tried to dig a ditch in the hallway of my ship today. Their shovels all broke.

They made a pillow fort instead.

>>6575570
A YEAR LATER

To Ronius

So I'm minding my business, monitoring panels and whatnot when some tech comes in and says that there appears to be minor structural damage near the EnPro and that this should not be happening since all we did since we left port were some routine mining operations.

Thankfully I remembered that's what the Kriegers were guarding and volunteered to check it out.

So I go down there and the Kriegers are all standing at attention like they always do. The only problem is that there appears to be a rather large hole in one of the walls which is also serving a Heavy Stubber nest.

I inspect the hole and see that while there is no damage to any pipes or anything it appears that the hole has not been made by gradually chipping away at the wall.

So I start asking around and this takes me a couple hours since I can't understand what they are saying due to their gasmasks. I tried to tell them to take them off or something but they wouldn't do it and I couldn't understand their responses due to the above mentioned gasmask thing. I thought about trying to remove their gasmasks for them but decided against it since those guys are fething creepy.

Anyways after a while I was able to find out that they ran out of rations and apparently started eating the (adamantine) wall for nourishment.

No I don't understand how that works.
I also don't understand why you didn't have anyone give them new rations, I mean did you expect them to come up to you and ask for them or something?

This might partly be my fault since I told you to have them guard the place but seriously, you were the one who told them specifically what part of it to guard so you should have known where to send food.

Anyways we need to find a way to get rid of them, PERMANENTLY.

- Jamio

P.S.
I don't mean killing them since we both know that won't end well for either of us.

>>6576123
Best thread in months.

It just occurred to me that a pack of Kriegers would be just as useful as a shipment of jack hammers given the appropriate incentive.

They dug a trench THROUGH the barracks.

They moved the bunk beds into the trench.

I just don't know what to do anymore.

KRIEGERS!
Clean your fucking room already! There's shovels and debris everywhere!

DKoK now strike me as a bizarre combination of TF2 pyros and dwarves.

Creepy gasmasks and an insatiable need to dig.

You nearly made that sound like a bad thing.

So they've shot the dog, set the washing machine on fire and blew up the pipes. Oh, and you have a mile-high geyser of molten metal in your back yard, as they've dug to the planet core.

I woke up. One of the Kriegers was just standing there. Staring.

I stared back. A few minutes passed.

"What do y-"
"I MADE BREAKFAST"
"...What?"
"BREAKFAST"
He proceeded to pull out a plate of food.
"T-Thanks...I guess."
I began to eat it. When I finished eating, he was still staring.

It was the most uncomfortable moment in my life.

What if Kriegers landed on a desert planet

would they keep their gas masks on
would they try to dig trenches in the sand?

>>6576388
They would dig. It would fill up. They would keep digging.

>>6576388
They would re-enforce the sides of the sandtrech with whatever they could. Including each other.

What's that you ordered? Kriegers for NICEMOOSE?

>>6576394
>>6576388
I can imagine one of the Kriegers interrogating a cactus. Then when it doesn't cooperate, he hits it. Thorns in fist, angry, pulls out laspistol and shoots it. It snaps in half. He laughs and kicks it.

PERMISSION TO WATCH YOU SLEEP, SIR!

And thats right where it gets creepy.

>>6576420
It's very muffled due to the gasmask.

Kriegers only take joy from digging trenches and killing enemies of the Emperor.

Cacti are now heresy.

>>6576420
It's pretty much the most haunting sound you'll ever here.

I really want a life-sized cardboard cutout of a Krieger now. Just standing at attention, lasrifle at the ready...

>>6576433
I'd put it by a friend's window.

>>6576420
It's pretty much a sure sign that you're gonna die.

I wonder... when they Ship out these Kriegers in crates... do they bother to drill air holes?

I was GOING to sleep, but then Krieg.

>>6576403

DKoK: If more bodies aren't the answer, it's somebody else's solution.

>>6576448
Sometimes.

The only thing worse than getting a crate full of Kriegers is getting a crate full of dead Kriegers.

>>6576448
Kriegers, surprisingly, can subsist on nothing but raw material dug from the ground and moisture accumulated on their shovels.

They don't need air.

>>6576448
they have rebreathers on for a reason, DUH

I am not skilled with MS Paint.

>>6576459

>>6576494
You get to lie in the sand all day. Sounds nice.

>>6576505
You're holding up several hundred pounds of sand from collapsing onto your trench.

In the event of a Krieg female, most Kriegers seem completely oblivious to them, despite being absolutely beautiful.

Their first thought is "Can she dig?"

>>6576519
That's RELAXING to Kriegers.

>>6572876
Badass always works. The other guys are only useful sometimes.

I can imagine some Russian lady appearing in the middle of a battlefield and completely freaking out.

While I've got the Kriegers around, I thought "Why not have them do some yardwork?"

I handed him a shovel.

Biggest mistake of my life.

JESUS FUCK! I keep ordering Kriegers but I keep getting useless junk!
Except for those Baneblades, those came in handy...

squeeze the chest and check under the helmet.

So on this ship there was us, right, and a small group of Kriegers, about 10 or 20 of them. We don't know what they were doing there; we were supposed to get Elysians and these Kriegers popped up instead. We kept them on; not like they'd leave anyway.

The Kriegers mostly kept to themselves. Nobody could understand what the fuck they were saying through those gasmasks, and when they weren't standing around at attention, they sometimes split off into mini Krieger groups and had conversation. I never really cared what they talked about, probably trenches or something.

One time I had the misfortune of walking by one of these Krieger conversations to have my ears suddenly assaulted by the most frightening sound I have ever heard. I guess in some way you could call it laughing, but it was like some mix between a howler monkey and the wailing of a dying grox. Rooted to the spot, I turned to face the Krigers only to see them all staring at me, laughing.
Those fucking lenses all staring at me while that horrible sound just kept going and going...

I never wanted to get off a ship so fast in my fucking life.

>sqeeze the chest

Better just to get dug in and have faith in The Emperor's judgment

I imagine Krieger gasmask behavior being similar to Rorscharch's behavior with his mask. They open the mouth-part when they're eating or similar, but they NEVER take it completely off. Responses to forcible removal range from GIVE ME BACK MY FACE to confused blinking and total disorientation. Many just break down and cry.

>>6576943
get it drunk first?

>>6576933
FOR THE EMPEROR!

Hey OP, if you decide to go for a Krieg company on your ship, try and make the entire RT crew Kriegers. Suddenly, DAS BOOT IN SPACE

>>6576943

They won't kill you if you're their commanding officer. Just say you're conducting a mutation check and you need her to strip for visual inspection of genetic purity.

>>6576970
But let her keep the mask!
They get...weird about that.

>>6576970
These are guys who shoot their own commisars for cowardice and one does not need to strip down for genetic inspection.


Perhaps you're onto something with the genetics . . . one needs to keep a diverse genepool after all.
Go in blind and you'll win either way with a Kreiger.

>>6576970
"Take off your pants, trooper. I'm going to conduct a check on you for mutations."

"OH GOD PENIS"

>>6577029

So... is it a mutation or is the Krieger male?

>>6577045
What makes you think that only Krieg males have Penises?

i demand draw faggatory of these stories!

>>6577065

Because if it's a female with a penis, she's clearly a mutant and thus must be purged with fire.

Replace the word "dethklok" with "deth korps" and play the metalocalypse theme song.

KRIEGER IN A CRATE
BEST BIRTHDAY PRESENT EVER

pls stop spamming ur shitty regiment on LOLDAEMONETTES ( replace LOLDAEMONETTES w/ cadia ) were tirred fo ure constant fucken spam and crate's full of gasmasked clownes also stop lying about Creed ok now gtfo dumbos

>>6577363
+1 internets to you sir.

the cancertalk spam has to end.

This thread is fucking MAJESTIC.

Ok, so here's the deal: I'm a Swedish military officer on a peacekeeping mission in Afghanistan and yesterday our replacements were supposed to arrive. There were supposed to be 150 Swedish medics, translators, regular soldiers, etc. all briefed on the cultural differences, political situation, etc. That was not what we got. First of all, there were a lot more of them, second they were all wearing gasmasks and trenchcoats. I haven't been able to figure out what they're saying yet due to the gasmasks and a funny accent, but they do not look like peacekeepers to me. I think they may be Kriegers. What do I do? Help me out here, we're supposed to to ship out next week and I don't feel comfortable leaving the mission in their hands, not with all the trench-digging, bolter-emplacements, etc. It looks as if they've come here to kill anything they see and expect anything they see to try to kill them!

>>6577670

200 taliban insurgents vs 200 kriegers, generic afghani terrain no side is familiar with, heaven or hell, etc.

>>6577688
Both sides will gradually turn the entire area into a giant dorf fortress of trenches and tunnels.

>>6577532

Witnessing the birth of new /tg/ memes always brings a smile to my face.

Unfortunately for this thread, instead of the requisitioned smile, I got a platoon of Kriegs.

>>6577719
Kriegnusan?

OH GOD.

>>6577670

You could always take advantage of their tunneling skills and send them into Tora Bora. You won't hear so much as a squeak out of them for fully a year, and then one day a man in a trenchcoat will march into your office, snap a sharp salute, and inform you in a level, matter-of-fact way that his detachment broke into a hidden gallery that the Americans missed the first time around, they successfully fought through and navigated a subterranean labyrinth swarming with Taliban tunnel-fighters, uncovered the cavernous vault of an ancient pre-Islamic temple and fought the dread legions of the Hollow Earth keening up from the cracks in the mantle, destroyed Osama Bin Laden's secret nuclear reactor and weapons enrichment programme, found Lord Lucan, retrieved information exposing Islamist plots in every country in the West, and tapped the source of a fresh spring which will bring greenery to half of Central Asia.

He will then request his next posting.

>>6577775
Sir, I hold you fully responsible for my jaw lying squarely on my lap at this moment.

Or I would if it wasn't a Krieger.

>>6577775
He would also probably mention that they did made significant progress in curing several types of cancer and the HIV virus, but they had to slow down the research so they can come and report.

>>6577867

I suspect their cures would involve liberal use of gunfire and death.

>>6577894

Right you lot, it's time you got your shot,

*CRACK*

>>6577962
is it bad that this turned me on?

>>6578063

A hot, pale Krieg nurse in a skimpy outfit? Yeah, that thought did turn me on.

Excerpts from the personal log of Voidmaster Emil Godwin, Master-Pilot and First Mate aboard the Dauntless-class Cruiser, "Boundless Cunning".

M41.20464: Still in orbit around Agaeas Prime. Crew getting restless; it has now been two weeks. Our illustrious Lord-Captain Sigmund Jorn Vendigroth assures us that the negotiations for our shipment of rare ore is almost complete, and that without his expertise in commerce, this venture would have taken even longer. I am reserving judgement, but thank the Emperor we'll soon be away from this filthy hole of a planet. The conflict between the Guard and the orks ripped this place a new one; nothing to do but stare at bombed out buildings and fall into those bloody trenches every five minutes. It seems like they spent more time digging those damned holes than they did fighting the orks.
Ending here; receiving request for pickup from Agaeas, am needed on the lighter.

M41.20466: Away from Agaeas, finally. Back in the warp, we surveyed our new acquisition. Sigmund actually did well; we received a full shipment of a twenty sealed plasteel crates of ore. The crew are overjoyed, as they've just heard our next destination is Caresend, a pleasure world reknowned for it's alcohol and 'hospitable' locals. Commander Mordechai made a funny little noise when we told him, and has had to be forcibly sedated for his own safety and the safety of others. The crates are time-locked, oddly, but Explorator Thale has assured the captain that the lock will release itself in a couple of days. I just hope they don't turn out to be full of grox wrapped in tinfoil, again.

M41.20469: Today has been.. Eventful. I have absolutely no idea how to describe what I've just seen, but I suppose I have to start somewhere, so.. The crates opened today, at four thirty PM ship-time. The whole of the old crew was there; Mordechai, Thale, even Anastasia poked her head in. Oh, and Sigmund was there of course, grinning his head off as the chronometers on the first crate ticked down the seconds. As the countdown hit zero, Thale swept forwards and struck the activation rune on the side of the crate. There was a hiss of depressurization, a gust of stale air, and the front of the crate lowered itself slowly down to the ground.. And then there was a shout from the darkness, and down the makeshift ramp marched a group of men in trenchcoats and gasmasks. There were about twenty of them in total, marching in perfect synchronicity, and they just waltzed right up to Sigmund and snapped to attention! Like they were waiting for him to order them around or something, I guess. Anyway, we open up the rest of these crates, and wouldn't you know it? Each and every single one of them has another twenty of these bloody toy soldiers living inside of it!

Sigmund sputtered out a demand for an explanation, "What is the meaning of this?!" or some other ridicuously arrogant Rogue Trader spiel, and the man he was staring at ripped off a salute so crisp I could swear I heard a little crack of thunder. "SIR, KRIEG STAND READY, SIR! WHAT ARE SIR'S ORDERS?" he bellowed. Strange accent. Didn't help that he was wearing a mask either, I suppose, but he made up for it by being ridiculously fracking loud. Sigmund obviously thought so too, as he muttered an "Er, right. Er.. Very good, nothing for now. At ease." and fled the bay as quickly as possible. I was the last out, and I swear to the Emperor himself I saw the 'leader' scratching his head. I don't think they actually know what 'At ease' means..
(Continued)

(Continued)
So, long story short, now we've got a bunch of creepy-as-frack gas-masked Kriegers wandering around in our cargo bays, just sort of.. Milling about, staring at each other. I hope Sigmund figures out what to do with them before too long, before one of them blows a hole in my goddamned ship.

M41.20470: Still trying to decide what to do about the Kriegers. Thale suggested dumping them onto the nearest habitable planet, but Mordechai is demanding that we keep them, insisting that our own private army is a fantastic opportunity. I can see his point, but I'm still edgy about having that many lasguns idle so close to the engine room. I guess it's all moot, seeing as we're still in the middle of warp space.

M41.20471: Sigmund has finally cracked and put Mordechai in charge of the Krieg. I feel a little safer now knowing that they're at least under a competent commander, and Mordechai at least knows what he's doing. Still, I'm going to keep an eye on the creepy little buggers until we're clear of this. Something about those eyeless gasmasks gives me the jibblies. For his part, Mordechai is overjoyed with his new assignment, and almost immediately took to striding around the cargo bay drilling the Krieg mercilessly. He has also begun work on some sort of makeshift Commissar's hat thing. I keep telling him that I'm pretty sure they shoot you for impersonating a Commissar, but he won't listen to a word I say. It doesn't even have the right number of skulls.

M41.20474: I've been reviewing the security recordings for the last few days, and I've just noticed something. Some of the Krieg have now been standing at attention for more than three days. They haven't moved an inch. Do they.. Do they sleep like that? Wanted to ask Mordechai, but he is preoccupied with his new duties. He has set the Krieg to transforming their cargo bay into a makeshift bunker-barracks complex using the materials from the crates they arrived in. Mordechai continues to sequester himself in his cabin, working on that stupid hat of his. It now has a full size imperial Aquila attached to the top, which makes it fall over. I passed him in the corridor earlier discussing the merits of stabilizers with Thale.

M41.20476: Visited the bays again today on routine inspection. The Krieg have completed their bunker, which looks like it could stop a lascannon; it bristles with spikes, imperial aquilas, sandbags and weapon emplacements all over the shop. What's more, they've inexplicably managed to procure some earth from somewhere, and have set up a series of earthworks and trenches to hide behind. It's strange; now that they have their trenches, they seem almost.. Happy. Didn't stay for long, though, as every time I asked about the earth one of them kept waving his gun around and trying to talk. It sounded like someone was trying to flush an angry ork down a toilet, but I think he said "Found it.".

>>6576168

This needs to be drawn.

NOW.

M41.20477: Earth the Krieg 'found' was from the Terrarium on G-Deck. Thale is annoyed. Apparently, some of those plants were irreplaceable.

M41.20480: Mordechai unveiled his hat for the first time today. I have to admit, it is actually pretty damn impressive; a good foot tall at the peak, constructed of black grox-hide, with two suspensor-systems built into the side to support the enormous weight of the (grand total of) three imperial Aquilas (two small, one full-sized), three full feet of golden braid, and seventeen silver skulls. A cluster of Krieg now follow him at all times, wherever he goes. If he orders one away on some errand, the next time he passes a knot of Krieg soldiers doing.. whatever the hell it is they do, one will seemingly gravitate to him as if he were a rogue planet.

M41.20485: The Krieg have started spreading out to the rest of the ship. If I didn't know better, I would swear to god that they were reproducing, somehow. Still, we're out of warp space now, and Sigmund wants to investigate a nearby planet before we continue. He is taking some Krieg with him to try them out as bodyguards.

M41.20486: Sigmund is back. Didn't enjoy it. Apparently, Krieg wouldn't stop digging trenches everywhere. For their part, the returning Kriegers are being welcomed as heroes for putting the stamp of good Imperial trenches on strange xenos soil.

M41.20489: Mordechai's hat grows ever more elaborate. I begin to fear for his sanity. He has incorporated a sundial.

M41.20493: Krieg have apparently raided another terrarium for earth. Have yet to find out what they did with it.

M41.20494: Woke up to find boltgun emplacement in my bathroom.

M41.20495: Mordechai missing. Suspect he may have gone native, as there is now an extra Krieg soldier sporting a quite phenomenally ridiculous hat.

M41.20496: The one with the hat was Mordechai. Found him manning the boltgun in my bathroom.

Kriegers are Jägermonsters now?

Its a little known fact that all Kriegers are born with gasmasks....

I like the concept that once the Krieg are on the ship, they slowly reproduce somehow. At first you don't realise because they are all identical, but one day you decide to watch the security feeds relentlessly. At one point 9 Kriegsman cluster together in one of the trenches they've made, as if exchanging conversation. This continues for almost 7 hours, although it is not inherently unusual given their propensity to stay at attention for days.

Then, you spot it. As the Kriegsman exit the trench, despite no further Krieg ever joining their group, there are now 10 of them.

I'm planning to make a new PC soon, i'm picturing opening up the boxes, and i open up the box containing my shiny new graphics card, only for a squad of Kriegers to march out and start digging a trench in my bedroom.

Never ordering anything again...

>>6574837

The helmets are French Firefighter helmets that were issued to the infantry in WW1 once supplies were an issue.

The greatcoats are cut and coloured similarly to the French trench infantry uniforms from WW1.

The gasmask is based off a French Pattern.

Krieg are fucking germans cosplaying as the French.

>>6578549
the helmets are fucking German you retard

they've even been portrayed as having spikes on some occasions

Morning parade at the Guard garrison.

Parade Sergeant: "At ease! As you're all aware, tomorrow we're embarking on a field weekend--"

Kriegers: :)

PS: "--and so today will be administration while we prepare for the excursion. Recent weather has left conditions at the training area waterlogged, so the unit has been given permission to draw gaiters from stores and are advised to prepare their kit for muddy conditions."

K: 8D

"D Platoon is detailed to Enginseer Mauser for lasgun inspection and maintenance, report straight after parade...?"

I hate ze Krieg. Mumbling abominations!

Krieger w/ heavy bolter + medic's Kritskrieg, no survivors.

Two commissars who grew up in the Schola Progenium together but split apart on separate postings after graduation happen to meet up together after several years.

"...you were saddled with a Krieg regiment? My heart goes out to you, Luca. It must be deathly dull - I mean, with such a humourless and mechnical mass you don't even get the satisfaction of field executions."

"Actually, Genwin, it's a real hoot!"

"Oh, pull the other one, it's got Laud Hailers on"

"No, I'm serious. For instance, where did your regiment have its last Adventure Training component?"

"...urgh, don't remind me. Mountain Climbing. On Valhalla. It was so cold, you had to blast yourself with a hand-flamer just to get out your sleeping bag in the morning."

"Well, we were on the beaches of Icthus."

"Wha--?"

"Didn't you know? Every time a Recuperation season comes up on rotation, they're begging command to put down on an ocean world. Kriegers just LOVE the beach. They toddle off down to the shore with their spades, and build... well, sandcastles. Admittedly ones so elaborate that you can drive Chimeras through the gates and make out the faces of saints on the wall friezes, but still. And then the tide comes in and washes it all away, so they get to do it all over again. It's really cute watching them. They're so content, I can lean back under a parasol with a sangria and have a nice, pretty girl from the Fujika War Widows, who are also in our division give me a massage."

"..."

Do Krieger officers get power-shovels?

>>6579193

No, I think that they just get more heads stuck on beside them, so they can dig multiple holes with every stroke.

>>6579287
And the most badass officers get to dual wield those multi-shovels.

Also, did you know that Krieg commissars don't BLAM the troops? They SLAM them with a shovel.
