    I am mystified as to why that is the case. Krieg memes are the dullest Warhammer memes ever to exist.

    because Krieg is the embodyment of the absurdness of humans in 40k. Over the top in a over the top setting.

    Well that's definitely true. I just can't help seeing the Imperial Guard to be just as dumb as Orks in their strategy and attitude to warfare (if not more so when compared to the Blood Axe Ork Clan, who actually understand the importance of stealth and infiltration in warfare). When you've got a force that's as tactically inept as the Guard, you can see why the Space Marines get all the press :p

    However I can't help but get the impression that the shovel memes glorify the Kriegers, which is something I don't sympathise with. I just see the memes as being as stupid as the Guard itself.

    i find them funny. Absurdly funny.
    I'm gonna try to rationalize it.

    as italian, i'm well aware that when italy entered WWII, Mussolini made a famous speech, exalting an army of "8 millions bayonets", putting an emphasis on courage over equipment. The courage would have compensated anything else. (the mentality "The bayonet is a hero and the bullet a coward").
    We all know how it went.

    SO, in a universe as deadly as 40k, to have memes about the imperial guards charging enemy's titan with bayonets, or Krieg infantry fighting a greater daemon with a shovel, are funnily absurd.
    Because only in the foolishness of the 40th millenium lore, you could base the main tactic of your army into sacrificing millions of troops and get away with it.
    It's the "quantity has a quality of its own" taken to the extreme and then pushed even further. It just cannot work.

    The feeble skills of Kriegers are no match for the full Power of the Hive Mind!
