Death Korps of Krieg Infantry Squad | Warhammer 40K Astra Militarum | MOD Shop

The Warhammer 40,000 Death Korps of Krieg Infantry Squad is a multipart plastic kit that builds 10 Astra Militarum troopers for your army. Armed with utilitarian lasguns and sealed behind their iconic gas masks, the Death Korps are the Imperium's grimmest siege specialists — a cult of sacrifice that holds the line through brutal trench warfare in conditions that would break any other regiment.

This is the heart of a Krieg force. Where other Guard regiments break, the Death Korps advance, trading lives for ground with a stoic discipline that has made them one of the most beloved aesthetics in the entire 40K setting. If you're drawn to grimdark trench warfare, gas-masked stoicism, and a paint scheme built on muted greys, earth tones, and weathering, this is your faction's core infantry kit.

The squad is also one of the most customizable infantry kits Games Workshop produces. You're not locked into a single loadout — there's enough here to outfit a dedicated firebase or a mobile assault element.

Who this kit is for

New Astra Militarum players starting a Krieg army, existing Guard collectors expanding their infantry footprint, and painters who love grimy, atmospheric, weathering-heavy schemes. The Death Korps reward patient, methodical painting — the gas masks and greatcoats take washes and drybrushing beautifully — which makes this a satisfying build whether it's your first squad or your tenth.
