Would anyone wanna tell me if this would be worth buying FW models or at least post the Death Korps rules? Im pretty sure they have extra rules and stuff. I just dont know where to find em aside from some FW books. I just wanna see the rules before i play. Doesnt seem worth it to buy the book to read a few games of it.

or at least post the Death Korps rules?

As for the rules, they are slightly better than normal guardsment at close combat, which isn't much use, but when I build a usable sized army I am going to use the doctrines I want. The artillery rules are good, infernus (I think they're called off the top of my head) make units fall back so are well worth taking and they add a different look to the normal Guard army.

Hope this helps. Craig

These guys aren't special. All they are is a mechanized infanty army from an atomic wastland world that looks like the old school pictures of WW1 no-man's land. 

As for worth buyng- you get what you pay for.

If I were to start an army of these, I would shell out for a platoon of infantry, a couple of heavy weapons squads, and maybe a tank. Then, AFTER they were painted and squared away, I would consider more.

Think before you buy.

• Iron Discipline
• Die-Hards
• Hardened Fighters
• Storm Troopers
• Heavy Weapon squads
• Rough Rider Squadrons

• 0-1 Command Platoon (basic Command platoon; no transport option)
• 0-5 Commisars
• 0-1 Quartermaster (basically like an Enginseer, complete with Servitors but they allow units within 6" to ignore the first failed armor save instead of fixing vehicles; can take a Centaur FW transport vehicle).
• 0-1 Death Rider Command squad (basically a Command squad on the super-Krieg horses. . .this unit is pretty sick as characters with a lance are just nasty).

• Heavy Mortar Battery (FW models; fire kind of like Griffons used to. Can be towed by the Centaur).
• Heavy Quad Launcher Battery (FW models; the old Thudd guns. Can be towed by the Centaur).
• Death Korps Grenadiers (can take a demo charge; can only take a Centaur if the unit numbers 5 men).

• Infantry Platoons (Command Squads cannot take a transport)

• Death Rider Squadrons (DKoK super horses have a 6+ invulnerable save and may re-roll difficult terrain tests, and like all DKoK they are also Hardened Fighters and Die Hards).
• Hellhound
• Cyclops (FW model, essentially the same as its been since IA vol1).

• Immobile Heavy Artillery (Earthshaker cannon or FW Medusa Siege gun).
• Siege Tank (Leman Russ Demolisher or FW Thunderer)
• 0-2 Tanks (each tank takes up a separate HS choice and you can have a maximum of two total in the army: Leman Russ, FW Vanquisher, FW Exterminator,  FW Annihilator, FW Executioner)
• Bombard (FW artillery tank).
• Heavy Weapon Platoon (as usual)
• 0-1 Preliminary Bombardment  (using the normal Preliminary Bombardment rule; if already being used in the scenario the Kreig player gets to roll twice for each unit & terrain piece to see if its hit)

• 1-3 Gorgons
• 1-3 Baneblades, Shadowswords, Stormblades or Stormswords
• 1-3 Marauder Bombers or Marauder Destroyers
• 1-3 Warhound Titans
• 1-3 Macharius
