This 90 min video was a heavy haul for me at the end of this year, but I hope that you will enjoy what I guess is Part one for the Death Korps. There's still some more stuff I want to try and get done before the actual end of the year, BIG THANKS FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT THIS YEAR.

[gablo]

Tried to sneak this one by us at 1AM but I'm always watching Luetin. Always.

[Ravnican]

To quote our humble servant "The emperor, should he ever awaken from his throne, could destroy the unbreakable Death Korps with one single 'I forgive you"

Hearing that still gives me chills. The sad irony and tragedy that is the Death Korps of Krieg.

[richardw]

A 90 minute video?
The emperor truly has answered our Christmas prayers

[ShortandWide]

"In life, war. In death, peace."
"In life, shame. In death, atonement."
-Final Litany of The Death Corp or Kreig before battle.

[Ghastly_Grinner]

Could you imagine how unbelievably pissed off a Krieg army would be if they were accidently tasked to garrison a paradise world

[BIOSHOCKFOXX]

Krieg is like a never ending WW1 horror.

[Teyl]

This is exactly what I needed tonight. Thank you Lutein, this year wouldn't have been the same without you.

[carsoncasmirri]

Adeptus administratium clerk: “upon your reunification with the Imperium you will need to provide a single regiment. How many troops have you levied?” The leader of Krieg: “200, 000 units ready, with a million more well on the way.”

[thepastmaster]

I am reminded of the Guard novel Dead Men Walking. An officer character is captured by chance by a few civilians and they plant themselves in front of a column of Kreigsmen. Officer shouts at them to halt while the kidnappers scream demands. Then they are all gunned down. And as the officer lie there dying, he feels a quartermaster retrieving the officers wargear and struggles to keep his sword.

[Kneon_Knight]

The Kriegsman knows no fear, because before his first battle, he has accepted that he is already dead.

[sarmak]

Just got home from work and there's a 90 minute video on the death korps cutie death squad. It's a chrimbus miracle.

The death korps of sleep
All hail Luetin the lore master of the Imperium

[PWizz]

Man, I’ve had one hard year mentally…
But without going to deep I just want you to know, these videos saved my life. Listening to these whilst in bed has saved me from my thoughts and helped my mind to find peace.
Now I’m back to my old self, I now find them more enjoyable… instead of using them as a simple sleep aid, I now look listen to them from start to finish.
Much respect my friend, brilliant content

[furiousfinch]

My hypothesis is that the Korpsmen are definitely humanborn, but the conditions of the Krieg population leave them doomed to crippling mutation and frequent womb death, resulting in the necessitation of the Vitae Wombs. They aren't cloned directly, so much as they are artificially infused with stable DNA of the late Colonel. This fills in the damaged parts of the genetic structure and instills the resulting Korpsman with the steady calm of Jurten, but the Korpsmen's own innate noticing that they are effectively missing part of their soul (the part lost to mutation, expunged and substituted with the Vitae Womb's generation processes) leads to them being suicidally aggressive. Were it not for Jurten's devotion pushing them to a cause, they would be savage bastards who turned on humans the moment they had the chance to.

[brandongriffey]

The lore master has once again blessed us with his knowledge. Thank you kind sir

[PelinalDidNothingWrong]

Can we petition to get Luetin a cameo in the 40k series in development with Henry Cavil? I can totally see hearing Luetin's voice over a vox-caster as some Imperial Admiral or General.

[Cobandil]

Oh man I usually never post comments on YouTube but I've been struggling for a year with depression, anxiety and insomnia, and I cannot stress enough how helpful your videos have been to help me sleep.
I don't play tabletop and know Warhammer through the fantasy universe, but with Darktide's release I finally delved into the 40K Grimdark and I must say you offer such a great content among other YouTubers that I just fell in love with your channel.

What I want to say is thank you for all this work you put in, thank you for the precision and clarity with which you engage on your subjects.

Have a wonderful Christmas and happy New year,

Love from France,

Ronan.

I know this video is over a year old, and so I assume this comment will never be read by anyone ever, but "uncertain Jurten" has GOT to be a Dr Seuss style children's book in the imperium: "It looked like curtains but Jurten felt certain the heretics were flirtin with a hurtin' "

[thomasstewart]

Sounds to me like the reason Greel really wanted the Kreigsman to be clones of Jurten was that he saw Jurten as one hell of a weapon in human form. His efficiency and logical thinking was very machine-like and probably highly valuable to Greel in that regard. Greel likely saw him as an extremely valuable asset to maintain.
