So I am going to play a Krieg army sometimes when I get the funds for it and I'd like to know if hybridization works?

I am thinking 1 blob 1 squad of enigneer, one squad of grenadiers and at least 2 artillery pieces as support.

Their blobs can take power fists and are WS4.
'nuff said.

I have a Krieg army (though I don't play 40k as often as I wish) and my current opinion is that they're a bit weaker than the current guard codex -- things that are good against blobs will continue to be good choices to use against Krieg blobs, while the Krieg list loses out on fielding tons of special weapons (vet squads are gone, a pcs can only have 2 special weapons, etc), valkyrie/vendettas, chimeras, etc.

1.) Also, while your units are naturally stubborn, you'll probably still want to give your blobs a commissar anyways for the leadership boost (also, Krieg commissars in an infantry squad can take powerfists too.).

2.) HWS are way, way better in a Krieg list though, since they have the combined squads rule -- you can combine 2-3 HWS with a 10 man infantry squad to make a pretty durable mass of lascannon/autocannons that camp out on an objective popping tanks all game.

3.) Get Thudd Guns.

4.) Also, you can give orders to your artillery pieces (they're not a vehicle unit)

A above, hes got it.
People really get upset about fnp, but dkok have issues with elite shooting units and play just like infantry guard.

But hades drills are super fun and hws linking up is awesome!
