With the release of 9th edition, Kriegers lost access to two units: the Gorgon and Death Rider Commissar. While we wait for the new Imperial Armour codexes with revamped rules, what are some ways we can cope with these changes?

Until we see the reworked FW index, who can say? One thing I do know though - Grenadier spam is fire.

How do you guys outfit your Grenadiers? I've only got one squad of 10 with Hotshots, and 2 Grenadiers with Meltas.

It looks like our time is almost at hand. They spoiled the new FW codex is giving the DKoK a new regimental doctrine, so we may be getting a boost!

So can DKOK actually take things like tauroxes and chimera or does that bust the dkok-ness of it? (and does anyone have a clue if this will change in a month?)

It's not clear atm because the IA rules are being overhauled. I'm pretty sure that it's regiment based though, and since DKoK still have the Astra Militarum keyword, the transports should still work.

Chimeras and Tauroxes can carry DKoK since they’re still Astra Militarum, but Tauroxes aren’t (or weren’t) part of the data sheets eligible to be part of a DKoK army.

I also don’t see them adding Tauroxes because they wouldn’t be very efficient for DKoK who have massive troop numbers, save the grenadiers who can hide in Centaurs. It’s most likely going to be Chimeras or Gorgons, or at least it would’ve been if they hadn’t decommissioned the Gorgon datasheet from 9th Edition.
