Imperial Guard – Death Korps of Krieg

Death Korps of Krieg Imperial Guard Army List

We shall fall upon them as an endless wave; they shall drown beneath our dead.

Major General Jeridan, 5879^th Death Korps Regiment

Forces

The Death Korps of Krieg Imperial Guard Army List uses the datasheets from the Death Korps of Krieg Forces section, the Imperial Navy Forces section, and the Titan Legion Forces section.

Using The Army List

The following army list allows you to field an Imperial Guard army that is based on a Death Korps of Krieg siege regiment.

Death Korps of Krieg formations come in two types: companies and support formations. Each company you include in the army allows you to field any two support formations, plus one set of Trenchworks. Although you can only take a support formation if you first take a company, they are treated as separate independent formations during a battle and do not have to move around together. A maximum of one Death Rider Company may be fielded for every full 1,500 points of the army.

In addition, companies may be given up to three company upgrades. Each type of upgrade can only be taken once by a company. Upgrades are added to the company and are not a separate formation. Support formations may not be given company upgrades. Each upgrade that is taken adds to the cost of the company, as shown on the upgrade chart. Note that you may take any type of upgrade for any type of company.

Tank platoons and squadrons may be comprised of different Leman Russ variants. The number of variants, along with the maximum number of rare variants, is listed in the units column. The variants themselves are listed in the Leman Russ variant and Leman Russ rare variant charts. Each variant taken adds to the cost of the formation or upgrade.

Death Korps of Krieg Imperial Guard armies may be supported by Imperial Navy aircraft and Titan Legion battlegroups. A maximum of up to a third of the points available to the army may be spent on these formations.

Special Rules

The Commissars and Fortified Positions rules apply to Death Korps of Krieg Imperial Guard armies (see Commissars and Fortified Positions).

Commissars

An Imperial Guard army may include one Commissar character per 500 points, or part thereof, in the army. The Commissars do not cost any points.

Commissar units may be added to the army at the start of the battle before either side sets up. If the army includes a Supreme Commander than the first Commissar must be attached to the Supreme Commander’s formation. Any further Commissars may be attached to any other formations.

You may not include more than one Commissar per formation. You may not add a Commissar to an Imperial Ally formation. If you have more Commissars than formations any excess is lost.

Fortified Positions

Fortified positions must be set up after objectives have been placed but before spacecraft and garrisons are set up. The only exception to this are fortified positions that are listed as part of a formation’s units. While they are not actually units, they are set up with the formation they are part of.

Fortified positions may be set up anywhere a vehicle may deploy on the player’s half of the table. They may not be transported. Each group of fortified positions (whether part of a formation or not) must be set up so every piece is within 5cm of another piece from the same group, and so all pieces from the same group form a chain without any gaps of more than 5cm. Additionally, if a group of fortified positions is part of a formation then at least one piece must be within 5cm of a unit from the formation when they are set up.

Once set up, fortified positions may be used by any unit (including enemy units).

Death Korps of Krieg Fortified Positions

Bunker: Counts as Fortifications (see Terrain Effects). Can hold three units. Units in a bunker may not be barged by a war engine.
Gun Emplacement: Provides vehicles with a Cover Save that works in the same manner as an infantry cover save (see Infantry Cover Saves). Can hold one unit. Units in a gun emplacement may not be barged by a war engine.
Trench: Can hold one infantry unit per 4cm of length. Units in a trench may not be barged by a war engine.

On a roll of 1 the unit is destroyed and all units within 5cm suffer a hit on a roll of 4+, and on a roll of 4–6 the breach has been repaired. Any breach not repaired causes one point of damage.

Imperial Void Shields

Do void shields stop a point of damage caused by: a failed dangerous terrain test, the extra hits from the result of an assault, a Blast marker on a broken formation, or the unit ending its second withdrawal move within 15cm of the enemy?: No.
How many void shields go down if a war engine is hit by a Titan Killer weapon that causes multiple points of damage?: One per each point of damage, with any left over being allocated to the unit.
Can a formation regroup to repair downed void shields if it has no Blast markers?: Yes.
If a formation with multiple units with void shields regroups is the number of repaired void shields the same for each unit or shared between them?: Shared between them, e.g. if you chose to repair two void shields, one unit could repair two void shields or two units could repair one void shield each.
Are void shields considered when determining how many hits a war engine should be allocated?: No.

Imperial Titans are protected by void shield generators. The number of void shields each Titan has is noted on the Titan’s datasheet.

Each void shield will automatically stop one point of damage and then go down. Do not make armour saves for damage stopped by void shields, nor allocate Blast markers. Once all of the shields have been knocked down, the Titan may be damaged normally and you may make saving throws against any hits that are scored. Hits from close combat ignore void shields but units using their firefight values must first knock down any shields before they can damage the Titan.

Void shields that have been knocked down can be repaired. Each Titan can repair one downed void shield in the end phase of each turn. In addition, if a Titan regroups it can use the dice roll to either repair the void shield or remove Blast markers (e.g., if you rolled a 2 you could repair 2 shields, remove 2 Blast markers or repair 1 shield and remove 1 Blast marker).
