We continue to explore the true size of armies in Warhammer 40,000. This particular episode focuses on a Krieg Siege Regiment. We begin with the history of Krieg as a thriving hive world and how a disastrous civil war eventually left it as a hellish death world. Yet from the ashes rose a new Krieg army, the Death Korps.
We cover the Krieg Military at a high level. This includes their war doctrine and their particular ways of fielding massive troop counts for siege based combat. We then review the Death Korps army organization such as the 88th Siege Army which fought at the Siege of Vraks. Finally we reconstruct our own theoretical Siege Regiment from the humble Krieg soldier to the massive Line Infantry Company. In following episodes we will cover the armor, artillery, and support companies of this vast combined arms force.
