A Death Korps Grenadier Squad is an elite heavy infantry formation composed of the most seasoned and battle-scarred soldiers of the Death Korps of Krieg. Drawn from veteran Guardsmen and survivors of shattered units, these troops are chosen to lead assaults and break enemy defenses through unwavering discipline and suicidal determination.

Becoming a Grenadier is not a promotion—they retain their previous rank—but their experience and veteran status grant them seniority over regular Guardsmen. Equipped with Flamers, Meltaguns, and Heavy Stubbers, Grenadiers form the vanguard of Krieg’s offensives, advancing on foot or in Centaur APCs under heavy fire. Though casualty rates are extremely high, service in a Grenadier squad is considered both an honor and a duty—an act of atonement and martyrdom for Krieg’s sins before the Emperor.
