The good news is that loving the Death Korps of Krieg doesn't automatically make you a simp for the wehrmacht.
They are just awesome on their own two feet :)

Hello Majorkill,
Would you please make some lore videos on the Imperial Truth, the Imperial Creed, the Ecclesiarchy, and the High Lords of Terra? Pretty please? Thank you.
I still love how when the Imperium first found them and asked for one regiment, they got like 20.
"Are you sure you just want one? How about two or maybe five? How about all of them?" ~Governor of krieg
Diplomat: heretics are entrenched in my planet. I was wondering if you could send one of your regiments
K: can you take five?
D: uhm... Well this is a surpr...
K: well send ten and that's our final offer.
Did I say ten? Well here comes 20 because some of the lads volunteered and we couldn't refuse them now, could we?
What book was it from?
Love kreig so much now. Sometimes messy nukes pay off, we have animie krieg has these
It is believed through the litanies that the only way you can ever instill dread into a Kreigsman is to tell that 'The Emperor is dissapointed in them'.
Or a space marine being mad them. Like when Kriegsmen used artillery on a civilian habitation-block that just so happen to have Salamander astartes within it.
I think there was maybe one time they felt fear, though i'm not sure it was fear, they fought a space marine legion who worshiped nurgle and that legion would use a corrosive gas to exterminate all life, their tactics were basically to flood the battlefield with t while they were unaffected and shoot anyone while pushing the gas forward.
The kriegsman fighting them broke and fled one full trench-line.
If it was going to be something it makes sense it would be space aids or some other horrible disease.
Tell them you’ll take away their combat shovel privileges?
@@sugarjumper45btw what happened after that.
Death Korps of Krieg: "FIX BAYONETS! ... But don't stop the artillery."
That was called the creeping barrage during WW1
You fired artillery ahead and charge the other side
Then stop the artillery right before they reach the area
These guys just don’t stop the artillery
Fix Shovels!
"immune to the temptations of chaos"
This means they're the only guardsmen who can fight along side the grey knights without issues!
Slaaneshi daemon: *tries to tempt Kreigsman*
Kreigsman: *stares blankly*
Slaaneshi daemon, unnerved: okay that's just creepy...
and they're going to kill themselves in a bayonet charge. to the grey knights that's a problem that resolves itself
@@Tenchi593 he’s a sigma male, you just wouldn’t get it
Temptations are worth nothing on someone’s who’s sole desire is to earn the forgiveness of the emperor. As much as Khorne might desire an army of them, they are incorruptible.
Plus most don’t live long enough for corruption to take root anyways.
They did on Vraks
The Korps are essentially the Human version of the Tyranids, an unstoppable tide that makes even Orks quit the battlefield
More like necrons to be honest
Read up on the history on the Punic wars. As insane as the Korps are, Rome came pretty close in insanity levels. Rome cannot lose a war… so they just kept on fighting and throwing more and more soldiers into the fray.
@@fortyninehike Best part of the Punic wars is that Rome had a Scipio as a general for the first one, AND the last one. Both of which earned the honorific of Africanus for winning the war...the last one just finished the job entirely by wiping Carthage out completely.

I like the Korps and the Orks for one reason and one reason only.
In the grimdark of the 41st millenium, they seem like the only people having fun.
The only two armies that would run into oncoming fire (from foes and friends) with a big smile on their faces
ok

@@aaabbb-zc7sxdont pretend like they never were.
What I love about is how in fact tragic they are. They think about themselvs as tainted and unworthy of forgivenss, despite how much they did for the Imperium and maybe thats why we love to see those small glimpses of humanity left in them in their own stories. In the story Unremebered/Undefeated Guardsman from another unit met little unusual Kriegsman, which whenever it was possible was writting down in his notebook numbers(names) of his fallen brothers and sisters so they wouldn't be forgotten
they're simply the finest of the Imperial Guard, and if we're honest, of the Imperium completely, the Astartes must blush before the selfless, unyielding sacrifice of the lowliest Kriegsman. With soldiers like this, the Imperium cannot hope but for victory.

I didn't care for Krieg at first but the Sodaz animation really made me fall in love with the army and show how indomitable the faction is. It's a shame what happened to Soda, but I am glad he did a great no meme way to represent the army.

One of my favorite Krieg moments, while a regiment of Krigsman and Cadians were laying siege to an orc infested hive city, the Orca starting launching Squigs from the city into the trenches. One of these Squigs landed right on to of the spike of a Kriegmans helmet lol
If theyre supposed to be the strength relative to peak physical condition thats still insane I'm sure those squigs are super heavy and with the velocity if he shrugged it off that's pretty badass
Sidenot would it he heresy to want to keep a squig as a pet
@@edgarluna7300 Probably
@@edgarluna7300 I’ll get the commissar we can ask the question then
@@curlyfries8388 Commissars and Krieg don't always get along. Not because the soldiers are disloyal, but the Krieg have been known to kill Commissars for 'Cowardice' when the poor guys try to hold them back!
The bit of lore that made me love them was this. "There is only one person who can destroy the Death Korps of Krieg and all he has to say is, I forgive you. Until then, we will fight and we will die, that is the Krieg way."
Just remember, there is a way to break a Krieg guard regiment. IF they were to hear from the Emperor, or more likely one of his sons that "All is forgiven"
Nah that’ll make them fight even harder my dude. Sure they’d probably stop in shock and fall to the ground crying in happiness, but then would get up and fight even harder. Having your literal God or one of his sons tell you “good job, keep it up” would be such a euphoric inspiring adrenaline rush that would make you fight the hardest you ever will knowing in your faith that you’re forgiven so no matter what when you die you will be with your god.
They're still human, no matter how indoctrinated they are. During the Siege of Vraks the 158th Siege Regiment were suffering such massive casualties and witnessing the horrors of chaos that they routed.
Commissars tried to stop the route, but the Kriegers killed the Commissars. It caused congestion in the trenches as the second wave was stunted getting out of their trenches by the first wave trying to get back into their trenches.
After that the officers were all executed by commissars and soldiers put into penal units.

If Perturabo was still loyalist,
These soldiers would be his favorite, maybe even more than some of his own Marines
I would read a short story delving into that dynamic haha
I wish G to lift the ban on some traitor geneseed. Make an Iron Warrior's successor chapter and call them The Sons of Dantioch, to honor one of the greatest heros of The Imperium during it's darkest time as well as to rub it in da face of Petulanto.
@@ismaelsantos5378 Its highly thought that there is an Ultramarines succesor of Iron Warriors
Thr Silver Skulls, who turned up post heresy...and we never heard what happened to the Loyalist survivors of Dantiochs men
Also
The Minotaurs are Iron warriors confirmed
@@ismaelsantos5378 I mean...theur emblem is the Iron Warriors Skull, same as thr Legion, same as Dantioch
@@adrienwatson2179 True.
Also, that reminds me of that time an imperial world thought Trazyn's necron army were the Silver Skulls. Good times.
Still, I would like some acknowledgement of Dantioch's sacrifice. Perhaps now that The Lion is back we may see some.
The Orphean War was the first book I've read about the Death Korps of Krieg.
My favorite part was their commander's advice when dealing with the Necrons and their tightening supply problems.
It goes along the lines of "You'll be de atomized by those xeno guns in 2 seconds, so use those seconds to throw your gun away so it wont de atomize with you. By then the next soldier has better use for it than you do."
Death Korps of Krieg. Your equipment is worth more than your lives.
In the death corps the medics primary job is to go out and get fallen soldiers equipment. Helping wounded soldiers is secondary
I mean, it has sense, not the "your equipment is worth more than your lives", but if a necron deatomizer gun desintegrates you in two seconds, then there is no way to save you, at least drop your gun and that will give chances to another to pick it up and shoot it instead of reloading wich might be slower
but hey, "grimdark": everything has to be shown as worse and illogical as possible
in that regard, the Imperium shouldn't bother in dress it's soldiers, since that's a waste of equipment in armor
@@elduquecaradura1468 honestly thats true most basic amount of thermal protection is all you should use against necrons
This makes most sense if they're using guns that can reliably kill the Necrons like Plasma and Melta Guns. There's only so many to go around, and if the Necrons atomize those guns, your infantry is largely SOL. Keeping the heavy guns intact means you can keep killing the Necrons
Yeah Imagine your a cadian and you get saved by a kriegsmen who just 1v1ed a tyranid but is mortally wounded. You remove their mask only to find a child looking back at you.

@@alifkazeryu8228 yea that's much better
An extremly drugged kid 😂
Best quote from them is “their are no citizens on kreig. Only soldiers.”
kind of like "there are no wolves on Fenris"
A death korps would be the the easiest 40k movie to make, it would be like a futuristic ww1/ ww2 movie. ("Silent in the Western front" in space)
Kinda like those nazi-zombie-cyborgs in that movie Suckerpunch?
All quiet on the Western Front. But yeah, I for sure agree.
All Quiet on the Western Front would be a terrible example, that book is anti-war. A better option would be Storm of Steel from the same period which isn't
All Quiet wouldnt work in 40k cuz that would be admitting that xenos or heretics have souls that are worth something
all silent on the Kriegien front
The book Krieg by Steve Lyons has a fantastic piece where they throw themselves onto Ork tanks with grenades and anti-tank mines, destroying several of them. It's literally what Orks would do vs Guard tanks.
Also literally what some japanese did (as units, not individuals) in ww2.
"When art imitates life".
PS: sry for my english.
What you forgot to do is add warhammer actuality numbers to that, it was 120,000 callsman on 700 tanks
@@jromaoo Truth is always stranger (and often more horrific) than fiction.
Honestly I think the reason everyone loves the Death Korp is because their world's history and the fact these guys are on tier with CADIANS in terms of skill. Sure, a Cadian would probably rock a Krieger, but a Krieger will never stop until they are dead.
And the fact they need Commissars. Not to instill moral but to stop them from over extending. Probably the second most dangerous for a Commissar just barely behind Catachan.
Nah. WWI is aesthetic.
@@jffry890 Well yeah that too
I first heard of them back in 2009 but didnt gave a damn.
Havent heard of them since then until ive rediscovered them this year again (Mainly due to WW1 aestetic and Trench Warfare stuff).
They are so embodiment of WW1 that their soldiers are literally 17 years old kids who sent to die on the battlefield to wage "war to end all wars".
Great stuff.
Kriegsmen outperform Cadians quite a bit, and have a tendency to save Cadians at the expense of their own men on multiple planets.
@@Maowka im pretty sure they had a tendency to do that for most non heretics/traitors
Get your shovels Lads, we're digging this Trench for the emperor
Happy shovel noises intensifies
I think the reason why I love the Death Korps so much is because they remind me the most of republic clone troopers.
Because they're technically clones. Most of the Kriegers were Artificially born using Colonel Jurten's DNA, the very first commanding officer of the loyalist kriegsmen
They are much closer to stormtroopers
Clones cared about their wounded
Stormtroopers would use their wounded as granades
Clones walked slowly at the enemy's and didnt use trenches
Stormtroopers would only RUN cover is a last resort and a crap tone of trench warfare
Jedi were horrible leaders
Imperial officers were good and they didnt care about the soldiers at all
I think that Roboutian Heresy Death Guard and Iron Warriors would get along well with the Death Korps of Krieg as Mood Kindred.
There's a reason I have kreigsmen as my iron warriors 30k milita army. Drab green an gun metal is chefs kiss 💋
Boy howdy are you in for a surprise
what happened to krieg in the roboutian heresy?
@@adenosine2electricboogaloo647 SPOILERS!!!!!!!
After the bombs fell and Krieg was destroyed. The colonel what's his name cracked. He wanted to punish the imperium that had failed him and after conquering the planet again, getting the cloning vats and nuclear weapons programs running. Went on a blood crusade slaughtering billions on dozens of worlds. Until a counter crusade and the "Everything Down to the Bacteria has to Die" Death Guard kicked them to the curb and exterminatused Krieg.
But the colonel had impressed Khorne so much the blood god teleported the bunker he was hiding in at the end into a space hulk for thier new base of operations. And now the death korps of krieg serve him. Allied with the Black Templars who have to begrudgingly show them some form of respect.
Khorne's vision of humanity made manifest and lashed to the grinding wheel of war tearing down everything leaving only weapons behind.
Unironically I prefer this version
"It doesn't matter if anyone else makes it out of here alive, just as long as *she* does."
-Kriegsman when tasked with rescuing a downed Sister of Battle.
I think it’s kind of cool that the kriegsman actually care about fellow guardsmen, and want them to survive, it makes sense too, they probably see them as the ideal followers of the emperor, those who volunteered to fight for him, not to repent, but because of loyalty, they probably really respect that
Fun fact: The inquisition noticed that the dictators of krieg were amassing recourses. Jurten coincidetal defeated a traitor regiment with suspiciosly low casualties. Following that he got foltered for multiple weeks by the inquisition and after it turned out he'd been loyal afterall , he went to krieg to request some recources as well as recruitment and then the dictators annouced their indenpendence which turned out to be a bit of a grave mistake.
Artillery on other guardsmen regiments fighting in the frontlines:
Sir, the location is slightly near your location, are you sure about the bombardment?
guardsmen: it's dangerous but yeah...
Artillery on Krieg's regiment:
Sir, that's your exact location.
Krieg: Perfect!
Artillery on Krieg's regiment:
Sir, that's your exact location.
perfect, we have them pinned with our bayonets. now fire away until we can use the craters as trenches.
Because they are the most well-adjusted to the setting. Literally nothing can get them down. They laugh at death, embrace it, even.
The novel Krieg confirms they are all clones of Jurten which is the real reason they don't take off their masks. The mechanicus dude assigned to them figures this out and decides it's best kept quiet. But hey - no chaos taint so as long as you don't see two without their masks in the same room you'll never figure it out. Theoretically the universe wants to kill them for being clones but they do it so fast on their own it never gets the chance.
The DKoK is awesome. If you want a good book, hunt down Dead Men Walking. It's warhammer's answer to the question of 'what if Romeo and Juliet gets interrupted by Necrons'?
I didn't think about the question but now I need an answer
"Oh, Romeo where art thou?"
"On your left laying down fire, now fucking move, bitch."
This is one reason I love Guardsmen on the Tabletop, you can bring all these different regiments to the field one way or another and almost not suffer for it, unlike if you wanna bring knights or sisters of battle with your space marines, but guardsmen actually can benefit from bringing a Knight at least in replacement of a tank unit. also in Darktide the fact that the devs made skins that allow you to make your Veteran resemble either Cadian, Steel Legion, Kriegsman or even Catachan Jungle Fighter including the appropriate weapons and suddenly your cosplaying at 100 fps lol
Didnt know about this!
@@someimperialfist1404 I haven't gotten a hold of the new 10th Ed rule book yet for em, but back in 8th when I first started collecting, Knights and Sisters could take a regiment, although they would suffer the loss of their benefits of being in a solid based army, had something to do with the fact they were part of the same "faction" that being Imperium, I know Inquisitors could take leader roles and what not, Knights could take heavy or super heavy slots, and sisters could bring a squad in replacement, oh course you lose cohesion on your Guard if you did this, less benefits but you also brought more fire power or healthier units
"it's theorized that most of the death korps charges failed do to the size of there ball waing them down" seem pretty accurate and very possible ngl lol
There's also the whole "will regularly suicide charge into enemy lines while still actively shelling said lines because it kills more enemies regardless of how many die to friendly fire" thing lol
To add to the Orpheus War we have an actual with model Krieger character named Karis Venner who has survived an unprecedented 11 years in the Death Korp. Mad lad was last seen leading a charge against a Monolith.
I hope that Napoleonic Krieger model can be a stand in for Leontus and in the future maybe we get a Commisar stand in for THE Commissar aka Yarrick.
"Everybody loves the deathcorps of Krieg"
Krieg Gaurdsmen: (Confused gasmask noises)
The part about their age is probably one of my favorite parts because you have all these regiments that would be trying to take a plan it back or win a war that's been going on for years or decades and no luck but then the krieg show up and no one has any idea that the one regiment that just defeated trader world a chaos world xeno world or even a warband of chaos Marines or a fleet of tyranids was actually just an army of 16 year old normal humans that wanted nothing more than the emperor's forgiveness
Getting a video about how each of the pre heresy primarchs would have reacted to being in Guillimans situation of the first to return would be cool ngl. Seeing a 'loyal' but still broken angron, and a zealous lorgar running their own imperium would be amazing.
Maybe two entries for Angron. One with and one without the butchers nails. Empath Angron would probably be nicer than Vulkan
@@planetbob6703 Empathy actually has almost nothing to do with how nice you are. What matters is if you value human life for its own sake or not. A person can be incredibly empathic and just use that to cynically manipulate people. Most cereal abusers are actually really empathic. A robot programmed to care about human life might not be able to feel the same emotions as you. But they're more likely to try and save your life than a chimp who dose have a similar emotional range.
Hahaha
TTS Rogal
Hmm *NO* 😂😂
@@myself2noone Angron used to have empath powers that allowed him to help the other gladiators before the nails turned him into a monster. He lost both his primarch power and his kindness, that's why I called him Empath Angron.
@@myself2noone Empathy isnt just about caring if someone lives or dies, its about reading and being affected by others emotions
I think a space marine chapter made with recruits from Krieg would be actually fucking terrifying to face on the field. Death Korps alone is a whole ass "oh shit" moment.
The Death Korps also seems to have the Imperium’s complete trust, too. Since unlike really any other regiments, they are usually fielded together with various types of regiments from Krieg. I know this is ostensibly due to them being harsh to other regiments causing friction but, A) that seems extremely unlikely for them and B) the Administratum wouldn’t give a fuck about that (including the bombarding of friendlies under attack). It was likely just an excuse to fulfill a Death Korps army wet dream.
I like to imagine that they still have something resembling of a life back on Krieg. A life not worth living isn't much of a sacrifice. And so deep in the bowels of underground factories little kids, that haven't yet started their combat training, and adults, that were deemed unfit to join the Guard, live and work, producing never ending stream of material to supply their regiments. And in the meantime they still find some glimpses of happiness. Through all the hardships of their existence, they laugh and cry, make friends and even find love. Until it is time they are finally drafted, or die in freak accidents, or simply drop of exhaustion.
Because for their badassery and sacrifices to really mean something, they still have to be fundamentally human under those masks. That's what separates the Guard from brainwashed mutants in Spehss Marinade in my opinion. They're not enhanced, augmented or in any other way different from regular people like us. They are just ordinary humans routinely performing extraordinary feats of bravery and loyalty in a universe filled with unimaginable horrors
my favorite death korps story was when a regular imperial guard commissar got assigned to the death korps, and then was promptly shot for cowardice after ordering them to fall back
I think a moment i like is when the Death korps was fighting alongside the salamanders. After an incident of friendly fire the commander of the salamanders went after the command of the death korps and onlookers said that it was the first time to ever seen fear in the eyes of a krigsmen
Well, how would u feel if u were trying to earn god's forgiveness and one of his angels shows up and shouts that u done f'd up? XD
The fan story series "Love and Krieg" is a thing of beauty. If you are a Krieg fan its worth a read for sure.
How powerful a space marine is would be a cool continuation of that series of videos
We should make him look up Doomguy L o r e.
Lore is just all over the place though....which is the problem.
What would have happened if Angron was found by Guilliman, or anyone other than the emperor?
Guilliman : Hey, I see you're fighting for your freedom, let me assist you but then you should join our empire
Angron : Oh thank you very much, yeah sure after this I'm in your debt
*The good ending*
The Krieg have always been my favorite Guard regiment in Warhammer. Seeing the animation of them to the song Attack of the Dead Men was pure gold. And now this video. It definitely did them justice. Thanks for the amazing video, Majorkill.
The main reason I fell in love with Kriegers was the same reason I love Starship Troopers (death is merely a promotion to the sandbag regiment
You know you're hardcore when your blind devotion to combat and death scares the Orks.
How Krieg know when winter is turning to spring: The corpses reinforcing the sandbags start to smell.
One does not simply unnerved the ORKS out of all factions to such an extent that they decided the fun is over and leg it outta the battlefield.
Can you do a video on what would have happened if the imperium didn’t become ultra religious and xenophobic after the emperor’s‘’ascension’’
Then the imperium would not be based 😔😖
Pretty sure they were xenophobic during the Great Crusade. The culture of "distrust of the other" was already pretty engrained just not taught as religious dogma.
That is the common mistake. Humanity was that way not because of Big E, but because of age of strife. Things just went to next level after E was turned into battery and his imperial Truth was changed into Cult
@@squaresphere i mean they we’re xenophobic during the great crusade but if a xeno race didn’t f*ck with the imperium they wouldn’t be massacred the modern imperium doesn’t give the xenos any time to talk before they shoot them
@@oo-xb6gv Considering how much they like thr Eldar, they arent based.
Can you do a video on how well each of the legions did during the great crusade? Basically ranking them based on how much they claimed. Would love it.
Literally noone:

Hey Majorkill! What about making a video about the Istvaan System, it’s story before the Imperium, the whole campaign of Istvaan conducted by Horus, and what it became after the Horus Heresy? Also great video !
theres no real information on it outside the heresy
@@JJJBunney001 meh, Majorkill can still try, after all I am asking to the guy who made a serious video about if Space Marines can fuck so I guess he don’t have limits. X)
Yeah Majorkill is right I've never heard of a notable Death Corp of Krieg character really surprised they don't have some special general whose trying to die but fails
The sodaz clip was bloody mint.
Dont forget Captain Fodor.
Absolute Chad even by korps standards. Was single handedly responsible for the outer defensive lines collapse on Vraks.
No-one:
Major: "orbitable"
Every time
Imagine a krieg soldier taking off his mask and revealing the face of an old man. The absolute quantumly small chance of him having survived to old age, would be all that was needed for him to become a fan favorite.
entire fandom collectively shitting their pants and making reasonable arguments on why he could defeat numerous space marines in his lonesome
My favorite krieg moment was when kreiger said "its krigin time" and then kriged all over heretics
What makes them really cool is how they aren’t genetically modified like Space Marines, it’s just sheer man power and dedication to the emperor that makes so fucking cool.
Fun fact: since Kriegsmen know no fear; any Commisar assigned to them who issue a retreat order, is promptly executed for cowardice and betrayal (iirc)
I already was a massive fan of these guys but this just made me want to join there forces
The Catachan and Krieg really helped cement 40k as an IP to be respected for me
Part way through the vid, I started wondering what space marines think of different guard regiments. Would love to see a vid explaining
Our boy is so close to that 500k subs mark. Godspeed Majorkill you magnificent Aussie you
Recommendation for a video Majorkill senpai
These are the most brutal chaplains in warhammer 40k
You should do a video on what happened to the countries on terra
That video went like cold water in the desert, I hope you have a lot of videos because I'm going for a Majorkill binge.
I think you forgot one very important bit here. The death core will bully and are known for killing there commanding offices for retreating, and how no one wants to be in charge of them! I could be mistaken but that was one of the first introductions to the death core and I loved it! 😂
A what if video on if angron never got the butcher nails would be amazing
I think there’s a section on that in one of the videos that includes him

"Orbitable defenses." Gives me a chuckle every time.
All Deathrider lances have built in explosive charges behind the lance head.

Shovel charges for The Emperor!
if i could take any Guard Regiment, stuff them full of Geneseed and make them into Astartes, it would be the Kriegers. (probably use Iron Hands genespunk to do it)

The Death Corps: a badass army of german looking underage soldiers fighting for redemption
Alright that new mini is actually fire. Well done
It’s stolen from brexit with minor changes
Casualty rates are so high, the imperium now recognizes birthdays in the field.
I feel like we need an hour long majorkill episode just the thought of it gives me a semi 😄
So you're telling me... The Death Korps of Krieg... crossed paths with Ciaphas Cain!?
Henry Cavill we NEED THIS to be made into a film or TV show!
Dope video
One of the things that drew me to Majorkill was the fact that he always explains the entire backstory of the things he covers. Sure he might skip a thing or two here and there, but i remember when i qanted to actually get into wh40k it was really helpfull to have someone explain again and again the basics ( like here, who tf are the crieg).
Nowadays i just skip most of those segments cause i know the lore, but it brings a smile on my face thinking that someone new to the hobby will learn new things.
Majorkill, i know you are probably doing it for that 10 minute sweetspot sometimes, but cudos to you sir!
The scene at the end showed exactly what Kriegers are when they fight the Khorne Berserker. When they attacked the tunnels they systematically cleared behind the Astartes and ducked into cover to not waste themself. But the moment the Astartes went down they knew he was way more valuable to the emperor than them so they charged the Berserker to rescue the Marine or at least buy him enough time to recover and finish what they started.
Very good!
Found my new faction to paint! Thanks!
That’s a beautiful model!
Nice vid bro!! Hope Ibram Ghaunt and his First and Only Tanith "Ghaunts Ghosts"are next!! AWESOME Sniper/Recon regiment kicking Chaos ass^^
Another cool fact about the horse. Their hooves are genetically modified to be clawed. It’ll rip regular soldiers apart. They are also carnivorous so they eat the dead enemy corpses as long as it’s fresh enough and not infected.
