Biography: Throughout his entire life, Bruchmuller knew only two things: war and atonement. Ever since he could walk and talk, he was given a uniform of an artillery man before being shipped off to fight in the frontline as part of the Imperial tithe. Like the millions of other children of Krieg, Bruchmuller saw death, carnage, and glory in the God-Emperor on death worlds, tomb worlds, and hive worlds that have been invaded by the countless enemies of the Imperium. Burchmuller was promoted through sheer survival. The decades spent as an artillery crew, later officer, gave him the experience needed to command this siege division.

Type of Regiment: Siege
Planet of Origin: Krieg
Length of Service and founding year: 300 years, 191.M41
Regimental biography: One of the many regiments spawned from Krieg as payment to the Imperial throne, the 86th Siege was sent all across the galaxy in numerous campaigns. Either be against Tyranids, Orks, Tau, or Chaos.
The Passchendaele Wars in year 192.M41 was a series of conflicts set in the Passchendaele system where Orks were launching a series of assaults onto the numerous Imperial worlds. The 86th Siege was sent in Ypres to fortify the planet in anticipation for a 5th Ork invasion. There, the regiment received its baptism by fire in brutal attrition warfare.
The Amiens Campaign in year 201.M41 was a short war in the Amiens system where the 86th Siege was tasked to liberate the Imperial world of Somme from Chaos cultists. Upon landing, the 86th Siege immediately dug trenches around the hive cities upon landing. The 5 decades of siege warfare made the regiment’s commanders to start putting more emphasis on siege artillery in order to allow for complete decimation of the forces of chaos.
The Verdun Offensive and the Great Marne war in year 380.M41 - 420.M41 is where the 86th Siege regiment suffers its highest casualty rate yet their accomplishments earned the regiment the nickname “Breakthrough”.
