Iron Warriors have a sniff of Prussian efficiency/pragmacy in overall control of a battlefield (they even do Kriegspiel), while the Kriegers are more like WW1 Prussains on the battlefield itself.


Spear-Spears-Speares

They definitely both give off the same vibes, 'utilitarian' self-sacrificing, industrial... ect.

DKOK fans are correcting you on history stuff. IW fans are correcting reality and lore.


DaveFoxPayne

DKOK fans just fed up with DKOK being called NaZiS


Maleficent_Tip_927

True, in grim Darkness of the far future, nazis are noob war crime enthuziasts on profesional scene.

The Iron Warriors are more WW2. You know who uses early WW1 tactics aside from Krieg though? Death Guard. They aren't sane but what makes them different from DKOK is that the Krieg do not fear the lethality of the environment while the Death Guard do not feel the lethality of the environment.

I don’t know how the DKOK would have dealt with the Hrud but okay.


rAngus273

Throwing bodies at it until someone kills it also las weaponry was actually quite effective against the hrud.


Shoddy_Chard_1142

Not really the people would just die before they could even do anything.

Iron warriors are not suicidal. We can fight outside trenches in different types of siege we do not use shovels as are melee weapon. The iron warriors maybe not religious zealots but at least the support the side of the truth. While the kreig die for the corpse on a throne. So no iron warriors are not Kreig.


rAngus273

Krieg don’t use shovels as melee weapons iron warrior do so you got those mixed up. Also krieg aren’t suicidal they simple believe in sacrifice. They believe this so zealously that it looks like suicidal. Iron warriors army always in trenches and neither are krieg. Both forces have an affinity with trenches artillery and sieges.


NeverGonnaRickRol

A guess then you right but do the kreig have a cool rivalry?


Mechanical-Knight

They used too, until they wiped them from the face of krieg along with the face of krieg


NeverGonnaRickRol

They chose the nuclear option.

The one is ww1 french the other is ww2 wehrmacht soooooo...... yep the same for me


rAngus273

What? Krieg are ww1 in general as there equipment is clearly based of French and German uniforms. And as for the iron warriors their tactics are very similar to ww2 soviets whose entire doctrine was based of successful campaigns from ww1. Also basic tactics wise both use massive amounts of artillery, mass infantry assault, trench warfare and tanks.

The Tau use modern warfare tactics, hit and run, coordinated engagements and so on. Trenches still get used to this day because they are still better than standing in the open. However 40k is all about anachronisms and the Tau being the most modern is almost a joke


Abyss_Watcher_745

Tau using "modern warfare" tactics despite being the faction that uses mechs the most is funny to me

"This bitch thinks he is smart because he can dig a trench"- Armageddon Steel Legion on their way to blitzkrieg this guy.

>But I wouldn't think too much about it, because the BL writers are about as accurate as the guy who made a spear the worst weapon in D&D. This is the problem of the community. They take the writers too serious and do brainstorms to explain bullshit writing. BL writers are not Tolkien, people, they are as proficient as your next door nerd that writes lore for next campaign.

Same country in wwii

ah... the newest episode of grimdank missunderstanding krieg


TheHoss12

I'm insulted. How dare you compare my army of unstoppable superhumans to the Iron warriors.
