About this listen

A Death Korps Audiobook

Vraks is an armoury world that is vital to the struggling Imperium and its efforts to resist the wider threats to humanity. The planet is a key link in the long supply chain that keeps the beleaguered Imperial regiments stationed around the Eye of Terror and ready for war.

The stoic Death Korps of Krieg have been assigned to this desperate world's defence. The grim soldiers of this regiment are born to serve the Emperor, as below Krieg’s irradiated surface is a human factory, existing only to produce soldiers destined for the front line in the Imperium’s most toxic and gruelling warzones. These indoctrinated soldiers are unflinchingly loyal and willing to sacrifice themselves without question or regard to ultimately win victory.

And they will need all these qualities to face the horrors awaiting them on Vraks…

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

Understand just how the Death Korps of Krieg have earned their reputation as the Imperium’s most ruthless fighters in this gripping tale of desperate defence and defiant loyalty. Even when all seems lost, new ways to survive and fight are unearthed, as an officer named Tyborc, expecting to die, finds a new way to live.

THE STORY

Vraks has fallen.

Mustering an army from the ranks of the Death Korps of Krieg, the Astra Militarum embarks on a long and desperate siege to save the planet from the madness of an apostate preacher. It will last seventeen years, cost the lives of millions, and attract the attention of daemons and heretics alike, but the Death Korps must claw back victory, inch by bloody inch, from the hands of the enemy.

Fantastic read and deep dive into the everyday lives of the Kreig Militia men and faith gone out of control and twisted

The story is very good, and it does what it needs to do. While I could see the conflict of Vraka be expanded in more books; as a sort of collaboration of perspectives from the kriegsmens perspective it is a solid piece 👍

A good Imperial Guard/Krieg stoey

It started off as a boring, gritty grind. Along the way it got a lot better and was well worth finishing. The reader was somewhat bland and emotionless, resembling waves slowly hitting a beach.

Decent story with bland reading

This book specifically does an amazing job to humanise the Death Korp of Krieg while at the same time preserving their willingness to sacrafice themselves for the Imperium and for the sins of their homeworld's past. It does a great job giving us a look through the lenses of a Korpsman's mask even if as you'd expect from a siege like Vraks most of our characters meet their end.

Krieg Humanised

Before this I had listened to Dead Men Walking where the Krieg are portrayed very differently to Siege of Vraks. I found it really interesting to see how they came from having names and heroes to simply being numbers. I liked how the concept of a hero in the universe of Warhammer was examined, as often just propaganda and lies to perpetuate constant war. Having this examination be performed on the Death Korps of Krieg was quite clever.

I also enjoyed the way in which the story was half historical account and half personal narratives. Made sure the horror of Vraks was portrayed well without spending too much time unnecessarily humanising the Krieg.

Narration and performance were also fantastic, absolutely love the guy who does the reading!

Great examination of the Krieg

This is a must read/listen for anyone who is a fan of Kreig. The story was a bit hard to follow at the start, but when the characters were cemented it was a really good story with a great end. Hopefully we will hear more from some of the characters!

For those Krieg players and lovers like myself who have been around the theatre of war a bit in their time, I’d suggest listening to this story with a pinch of salt. Although the story is good and definitely worth a listen I personally believe they’ve made the Krieg a bit “softer” to compensate for the modern audiences. A part from that it’s a good listen and most Kriegers will doubly appreciate it.
