Check out this sweet video for the Death Korps of Krieg in Warhammer 40k, as a fan of the Astartes film tried their hand at animation.
If you’ve missed the last Astartes film, you should really check this out. Warhammer fans across the world have fallen in love with the series. The best part is that it was made from a single fan who had some spare time on his hands. Well, it turns out that Astartes inspired others to try their hand at short films.
Inspired By Astartes Film: Death Korps of Krieg Video Short
I got so inspired by Astartes that i want to create a short film too. However i’m still learning so right now i just animated my 3d Model marching then cloned it. Hope you guys like it!

It’s awesome that a single fan can create such a ripple in the community to spark other fans’ interest in making short films. If you’re a Guard fan, you’ll want to check this out. Plus, the theme music from Sabaton is pretty fitting.
This is what it looks like just before an entire regiment of Kriegers is sent to the frontlines to repel a Tyranid invasion. With a lifespan of about 15 hours, these guys have already accepted their fate.
Following the Roman tactics of “throw bodies at something until it falls” the DKK do it better than anybody else. You know how many shovels swings these boys can dish out in melee?
Overall, the video is simple, but the detail on each Kriegsman is fantastic! We hope to see even more from fans in the days ahead. Especially since all we really have to do now is hobby and read.
