I have really enjoyed painting new Krieg models recently but every so often I get a reminder of the "duh hurr shovel" meme bore which put me off them in the first place.

Then I think "ah fuck em" and go back to enjoying Krieg, because I can.

Yeah it's so tiresome

Similar thing happened to me painting Dark Angels. Everytime is shared them some smart ass would say “nice chaos space marines you got there” like they were the first person to say it. It got so boring. I kept painting them though because I was enjoying it. Must admit, happy now with Blood Angels

Does that mean I should stop saying “I can see nothing” when someone posts Boss Snikrot? 🥺

garfytop.bsky.social•6 days ago

It's like seeing a window cleaner and saying "missed a spot", he'd have heard that 5 times already that day... so tedious.

owolf.bsky.social•6 days ago

But what if that person posted Boss Snikrot for the first time ever and never read that joke before?
Isn’t that my time to shine?

kurishicee.bsky.social•6 days ago

But if they don't know the context and just painted the model cos it's cool looking rather than knowing about the background of the character your joke might fall flat...

I have a friend who sends me DKK shovel jokes at least once a week. I don't have the heart to tell him I don't find them even remotely funny

kurishicee.bsky.social•6 days ago

Do what I do and just post publically about how you don't think they're funny 🤣

I had the hurr durr moment and instead took a model, removed the hands, and replaced both with shovels, and then imagine it like Wolverine from the xmen

There's nothing the 40k fandom does better than beat a dead meme horse till the cows come home (T'au player who hears the 'T'au suck at melee' or 'friends don't let friends start T'au' memes)

This lives rent-free in my head.

Yeah that's been me with a few factions, Krieg too.
I got over it with the dark angels, but I'll need time for the Krieg

Funny thing is I always associated the Trench Shovel being used as a combat weapon with the Soviet Army.

I always forget how objectively romantic and cool they are because of the memes :(

kurishicee.bsky.social•6 days ago

I hear you, but like with some memes they get tiresome after a while. Like the admech toaster romance.

jetblackraider.itch.io•6 days ago

Oh no I’m agreeing I don’t enjoy the memes

"A shovel.

For years I've served, paying penance to ancient debt. A million soldiers will march from my world, never to return home. All unnamed, without a family line to speak of. Countless deaths to make up the first gram of the ant hill.

But I am only a shovel to you. Meant to break and toss."
