About Death Korps of Krieg names
The Death Korps of Krieg are the one Astra Militarum regiment whose soldiers are not supposed to have names. Krieg was a hive world that fought a five-hundred-year atomic civil war against its own secessionists, and the survivors became a penitent culture that sends its sons to die in the Emperor's wars as atonement. A Krieg infantryman is identified by a serial designation, typically a four-digit number and a Greek letter (4471-Delta, 1128-Theta) or a regiment-company-number string like 143-7-4471, and he answers to his Watchmaster, the Krieg equivalent of a sergeant.
Names appear only at the top of the hierarchy and among attached specialists. Marshals and Colonels get them, and they run Germanic and central European in the way Krieg's whole aesthetic runs First World War: Venner, Tyborc, Jurten and Zuehlke in published material, and original names like Wehrheim, Stahlmann and Falkenrath here. Commissars, Enginseers, Primaris Psykers, Ogryn and Ratlings are not from Krieg, so they keep ordinary 40k names. Quartermasters (the Korps medicae who strip gear from the fallen), Death Rider cavalry, Grenadiers and siege engineers have their own designations and, in some lists, a single hard surname in place of a number.
The list below covers every layer so a Krieg army, Kill Team or Siege of Vraks narrative can be named down to the last trench.
How to choose Death Korps of Krieg names
- Give everyone below officer rank a designation, not a name; the anonymity is the flavor. A four-digit number plus a Greek letter is the most recognisable form, and a regiment-company-number string like 261-3-5519 works for a squad roster.
- Keep a single regiment number across a squad or army (the 143rd and 261st are the famous Vraks regiments) and use the second figure in a three-part code for the company, so every designation in your force reads as one formation.
- Name Marshals, Colonels and Commissars with Germanic or central European surnames and let Captains and Lieutenants drift between a name and a number; a Krieg company that has lost its officers is often led by a designated Watchmaster.
- Attached specialists are not Kriegers: a Commissar, Enginseer, Primaris Psyker or Ogryn should sound like the wider Imperium, which makes the Krieg serials around them feel even colder.
- For Death Riders, Grenadiers and Quartermasters, pair the role with the number (Death Rider 3145-Nu, Quartermaster 2200-Epsilon) so the role reads as the identity, which is exactly how the Korps thinks of them.
Frequently asked questions
Do Death Korps of Krieg soldiers have names?
Officially no. Krieg infantry are identified by serial designations, most often shown as a four-digit number and a Greek letter, or as a regiment-company-number code. Marshals, Colonels and a few named Captains in the novels and Imperial Armour books do carry names, and those are Germanic in flavour, such as Karis Venner, Tyborc and Jurten.
What ranks and roles does the Death Korps use?
Troopers are led by Watchmasters (sergeants) and then Lieutenants, Captains, Majors and Colonels, with Marshals commanding whole Korps. Specialist roles include Quartermasters (the medicae who collect equipment from the dead), Grenadiers (elite assault troops), Death Riders (cavalry on augmented horses), siege engineers and artillery crews, plus Commissars and Enginseers attached from outside Krieg.
What are the famous Krieg regiments?
The 143rd, 149th, 261st and 33rd Siege Regiments from the Siege of Vraks are the best known, along with the 88th, the 12th and the 19th from various Imperial Armour and Black Library sources. Death Korps regiments are grouped into Siege Korps and Armoured Korps, and are numbered rather than named.
Can I use these for a Kill Team or a 40k army?
Yes. The designations suit a Veteran Guardsmen Kill Team or a full Astra Militarum force, the officer names fit Lord Solar-level command squads and named characters, and the regiment and company designations at the end work for army labels, transfers and narrative campaigns. Only the four canon figures at the top are Games Workshop's; everything else is original.
