Editing Death Korps of Krieg (section)

===4th-5th edition and Vraks===
The Death Korps was first seen in the way we know them today at the end of 4th edition when Imperial Armour V - The Siege of Vraks pt 1 was released, giving the Death Korps models and more rules. They kept the same doctrines from the Imperial Guard Codex but gained some unique units such as the Death Riders and Grenadiers as well as a selection of unique equipment. Due to their inspiration, the Death Korps army list favoured immobile artillery over the standard [[Basilisk Artillery Gun|Basalisks]] and [[Leman Russ Battle Tank|Leman Russ Tanks]] of the other guard regiments and had more restrictions on the number of tanks they could take, while having no access to the basilisks. Though to make up for this they could take a a fairly bit of field artillery and cheap big guns allowing you to rattle you opponents teeth loose with the constant barrage you could unleash. The Death Korps were further added to when Imperial Armour VI and VII where released which introduced the Death Korps engineers and gave the Death Korps a tank army in the form of the Armoured Battlegroup, which let the Death Korps take [[Awesome|Leman Russ tanks as troops and Gorgon Assault Vehicles and troop transports for Infantry Platoons]]. The rules did need updating halfway through the series as Vraks books 1+2 where released when the 3.5 Imperial guard codex was still in use, and Vraks book 3 released a few months after the 5th edition Imperial guard codex released so had to quickly include some re-worked version of their old 3.5 rules and clarifications that let them use orders from the new guard codex (these rules were on page 128 in a box tucked away under the rules for the [[Atlas Recovery Tank]]). Still at least Krieg was up to date, and was in a fairly decent position for an army that had all its rules released over the course of 3 edition.
