From the ashes of the Astra Militarum’s nuclear-ridden death world of Krieg rise these regimentals. The rebellion led to nuclear fallout that was devastating, and the Death Korps of Krieg came from this disaster. They are siege specialists who are dedicated to making up for their past mistakes, serving the Emperor to atone for their sins.
“In life, war… In death, atonement.“
— Final litany of the Litany of Sacrifice, recited by Krieg Korpsmen when entering battle
This cosplay is reminiscent of past wars and has an incredibly iconic look. Iron Warrior Cosplay has brought a gorgeous amount of detail out in this cosplay. He built guns, accessories, masks, and more. This cosplay is incredible, and we hope you enjoy it! Check out the video below for more info.
“My inspiration for this cosplay has honestly got to be my best friend Harry aka Ranger of Krieg and the amazing Janovich who makes Krieg gear. Further inspiration also came from amazing animations on YouTube; thanks to these guys I was able to get my cosplay put together accurately, I’m really happy with it!“ Death Korps of Krieg cosplay with permission from Iron Warrior Cosplay.

“I started getting things together back in July of 2020 when I set up a small goFundMe to get some bits for the cosplay. At this time I was out of work, but my incredible community came together and helped me out, I can’t thank them enough.“ Death Korps of Krieg cosplay with permission from Iron Warrior Cosplay. Image by ShootingCosplayers“It wouldn’t be until early May 2022 that I’d have everything ready and do my 1st test fit before MCM London. 2 days before MCM I was 100% complete and happy with the cosplay. The trench coat made by my amazing friend Hollie was fully weathered, my krieg gas mask had its black tint installed and I was ready to hit the convention floor.” Death Korps of Krieg cosplay with permission from Iron Warrior Cosplay.

“I did MCM and had almost zero issues, the only thing that was difficult was the steaming up of the gas mask BUT! Now I have anti-fog spray and it helps SO MUCH! It’s amazing stuff.“ Death Korps of Krieg cosplay with permission from Iron Warrior Cosplay. Image by ShootingCosplayers

“The Krieg since then has had so many new upgrades! I made a pair of wire cutters, trench club, medic bag and a leather pouch (that still needs a bit of work to get right).“ Death Korps of Krieg cosplay with permission from Iron Warrior Cosplay. Image by DC Photo
“Honestly I never thought I’d do a loyalist cosplay but here we are, a Krieg cosplay, I’m over the moon with how it’s turned out and as you guys can see from the incredible photos by Shootingcosplayers, the cosplay looks pretty damn good (if I do say so myself!)“ Death Korps of Krieg cosplay with permission from Iron Warrior Cosplay.

This Krieg does get up to some pretty fun stuff and I don’t plan on stopping. Dancing videos with my best friend Harry at Insomnia in our Krieg gear is probably one of my favourite videos on there.“ Death Korps of Krieg cosplay with permission from Iron Warrior Cosplay.
