Known for their unwavering discipline, self-sacrifice, and fanatic loyalty to the Emperor, they embody the grim resolve required in humanity's darkest battles.

Emerging from the ashes, its population embraced a zealous dedication to atonement through service and death in war. The Death Korps are infamous for their trench warfare, gas-masked appearance, and willingness to fight to the last man, reflecting their belief that redemption lies only in death for the Imperium's cause.
