#the death korps of krieg

[rwby-encrusted-blog]

I know relatively little about warhammer - I'm far from a Lore-Nerd on it, but I think I can have a surface level conversation about it.

But I can't get this Idea out of my head, and I don't know how well it fits into the GrimDark setting of Warhammer 40k

~~~~~

Kriegsmen have Hollow eyes, for it all they need to see to their duty - Die for The Emperor - at least, that is what some claim.

It would make sense - they are born to die, and they do it well.

At least, they usually are.

The base had been overrun with Orks, the greenskin having felled most others here.

The Krieger shuffled about, taking piece from broken vehicles and hurriedly riveting them together, pulling their mask off and using it's hose to finish their makeshift weapon - a Jury-rigged flamer.

The Orks closed in, chortling and laughing, slinging lead and insults, jeers and blades.

"Emperor I plead for your mercy ..."

One Ork entered the wrecked garage, spotting the small Human.

They were hardly an adult - not that the Ork knew, it was just an 'Umie to it - Pale, sallowed skin with yellowed teeth, and eye that were sunken in.

" ... For I'm not Dying Here."

Then Fire came. It roared, burning so bright the beige clothes of the Krieger seemed bleached to pure white, reflected in Full, Vicious eyes that refused death.

In seconds the Ork was immolated.

In Minutes, word spread of the Ash-Black 'uman with the Whitest of Fires spoutin' from their Dakka.

In hours, even long after the Krieger should have run out of Fuel, the fire raged on - The toughest, Deadliest human any Ork in the area saw, and they each knew every death fueled the Flamer just enough to kill another two.

In a day Orks flung themselves at the Krieger who Couldn't Die, swift from the Blood on their coat, Too tough to die from Dakka, and with Dakka of their own too white to survive, each one hoping to be the one to win such a fight - None could.

So how'd I do? This any good? It's kind of an abrupt end, but I genuinely don't know where to go from there. Won't the Kriegsman get a name for doing something of this scale, or does it need to be bigger?

anyone have tips for dealing with my Kriegsman's habit of digging up the yard? I've tried a whole variety of suggested methods but it still insists on getting into my Nurgling garden.

My Krieg was an unexpected addition to the family since we took it in after its Commissar passed and I couldn't bear seeing it get sent to a shelter (they're prone to self-euthanasia) so I didn't get the chance to do much research beforehand.

any suggestions are appreciated!!
