They fear the sight of the dead. They fear the enemy. The fear death. They are undisciplined. They are inefficient. They are weak. You cannot make them stronger, you can only stop them from failing. You must do your duty Your squad is weak. One solider asked for pain relief as you stitched a minor facial wound. You did not understand. Had he received some serious injury that had evaded your notice? Did he not understand that all medical reagents are to be prized and used only when required? He complained that your stitching would mark his face. You did not understand why he was telling you this. Scaring is part of the healing process. The solider did not want to be disfigured, it was explained to you. You do not understand why he feared a minor scar. You explained that it would in no way impede his combat effectiveness.

The food is prepared nearby, not packaged and sealed. It was disgustingly flavourful. You prefer your rations. You still have a few Krieg rations in your koit. You are saving them for the Feast of the Emperor's The mess was disorganized. There was so much noise. You found a comer and ate alone. You went back to the barracks to wait.

We are less than the least vermin in the sight of the Emperor, barely above the traitors to the Imperial cause we triumphed over. We serve the Imperium wholly, without reservation. Nothing held back.

They have passions and hatred and feuds and live on a larger scale than mortal men. Where they walk the earth shakes. They are the god-touched. Like false deities from an old opera they boom and thunder. Every emotion is magnified. Every weakness spreads into catastrophe, every strength is almost overbearing. They can be poets and tacticians and great leaders of men, but they must fight ifthe Imperium is to survive at all. They are not human, but beyond humanity The Cadians are a brutal fighting force, trained to stand at the gate of the Imperium and hold the door shut... or block the aperture with bodies. Nevertheless, they are still human. They breed leaders and warriors and geniuses. They adapt to face their foes. They are true soldiers facing the impossible and unimaginable every day Mordians chose discipline above effectiveness long ago, but in a proud and noble sort of way. They sacrifice gloriously with colour and spectacle. The Vostroyan Ive covered above But the Krieg? The Krieg are wind-up toys made from broken and beaten children. They are the sort of human beings we institutionalize in the modern world. They cannot function. Any soldier from the regiments above: Cadian, Vostroyan, Mordian, could retire and live a peaceful life. Many do. But the Krieg are tools built for brutal war.

You konow where this is going. Imagine what a Krieger looks like naked. Pale. Patchy hair, or shaved near to the skin. Old, badly healed scars. Malnourished. Hygiene powder around the vitall areas. Pale eyes. With his mask on, he's an ominous figure. Without it, he almost looks normal. Almost.

The way he looks at things His eyes are just a little too wide His neck s els oddly he's used to wearing a mask. Sometimes he brushes at a hose that isn't there, moving it across an imaginary chestpiece. He doesnt look afraid or nervous, most young men do, when they're alone with a woman for the You beckon him over to the bed. He moves oddly. For no reason that you can explain he makes you uncomfortable. The way he clenches his jaw quietly. The way he smells. The way he speaks, mechanical empty... mad. That's it. He's practically weeping madness like the penitents on the Martyr's row or the old beggar outside the alms house who screams about spirits and the war But his squadmates paid his way. plus a little extra, and he's not so bad, really. You tell him what to do, gentle-like, as not to scare him. He does it ike a senvitor, mechanically, fumbling with unfamilliar tasks. You put your hand on his shoulder and he flinches, so you just lean back and invite him over He moves without pleasure or intensity. It's like hes... somewhere else. Like this is distasteful to him, a duty that has to be performed, one that risks comuption and failure. His expression never changes As you look into his pale, dead eyes, for no reason that you can explain, you begin to cry.
