Bonesabres >>>>>>>>>>>>> Shovels

 

That's a better one. Amusing not just for the swearing and the sign language, but also because the poor bastard he was trying to warn would likely have been killed by the time he had finished his sign language

 

And Bonesabres would cut through the hull of a digger in an instant...

 

You really seem to like these bonesabres. You can put your trust in bone, I'll place my trust in steel.

 

So funny story...

I once ran an Only War rpg campaign and one of the PCs was a Krieg Grenadier...I secretly made his shovel a daemon weapon of Malal (the idea was the PCs would eventually be whittled down and have to face daemonic forces and probably die horribly, so giving them anti-daemon equipment might give them a slight chance (it didn't.)) However...mid-campaign he decided to fall to Chaos...Khorne to be precise. And declared it aloud whilst holding his shovel that hates all things Chaos. Cut to him being forced to hit himself in the face multiple times with an angry shovel and falling into a warp tear that the mini-boss psyker had just opened to flee through (He actually wanted to roll up a new character anyway...)

 

Bonesabres aren't just bone, they are fashioned from hardened and serrated Tyranid chitin and possess a sentience of their own that produces a psychic aura allowing them to cut through the power armour of a Space Marine with no issues at all. Something that can cut through power armour would slice through steel like a knife through butter - it isn't even close. Not to mention that it can drain the life force out of any living being it touches.

 

A classic, I posted that one a fair while back. Cedric died to Voldemort, imagine what suffering those Tyranids would inflict on him...


EDIT: Here's my original post:

 

But if the shovel can kill a Bloodthirster, then your lowly Tyranids will pose little threat.

Besides, I think you are missing the joke.

 

In your dreams, that's only what the memes say, memes aren't an accurate depiction of real 40K life or physics.

On the contrary, I got the joke ages ago, I just don't think it's particularly funny, no amount of meme spamming will change that.

 

Firstly (and I can't stress this enough)... THE SHOVEL MEMES AREN'T SUPPOSED TO BE AN ACCURATE DEPICTION!!! That's the whole joke. That's why I keep pointing out that you are missing the joke. You are trying to use a straight and narrow argument against something that is purposefully absurd and comical.

Second, there is no "real" 40k life or physics. It's all made up. In real life, steel is stronger than bone.

When Jar Jar is your gold standard, I guess it shouldn't surprise me.

 

That would be an interesting conversion

Grrr, Imrahil

 

[Pedantic Military Historian hat on] And, the Death Korps of Krieg, both in attitude and aesthetic, is based off World War 1 infantry, particularly British. WW1 was the war when the West was working out the final transition between the mass infantry tactics of the Napoleanic Wars and the modern combined arms tactics that have dominated the wars since. The Battle of the Somme, where the Allies traded 600,000 casualties for 6 miles of territory exemplifies that approach to warfare. Besides, this is 40k where taking an idea to the extreme is not absurd, but normal. The Krieg memes fit this attitude.
