Life sucks in Warhammer 40K. Literally no part of its grimy, grimdark universe is pleasant; you either get eaten by gribbly space monsters, driven mad by unknowable cosmic horrors, or ground beneath the heel of the human war machine. (That's why it's so appealing, of course – it's the ultimate dystopia.) Few have it worse than the soldiers of the Astra Militarum, though, and the Death Korps of Krieg sit near the top of that sh*t sandwich. Their entire planet has been turned over to creating armies, and they're thrust into the most horrific warzones imaginable. If you want the best example of what Warhammer 40,000 is about, look no further.
That's why their new box set has seized my imagination faster than a deserter being collared by their Commissar. Step aside, Space Marines – the Death Korps of Krieg may be the most Warhammer 40K army to ever 40K.
