SYLOHAny Krieg officer who goes into action without his shovel is improperly dressed.
As a casual Warhammer enjoyer aka I read wiki lore, is the shovel special in some way or is it just a normal steel shovel?
Well this is a krieg 3d print I composited to have a “power shovel”.
Power Shovels do not exist anywhere in canon lore, but there’s no lore reason a shovel cannot be made into a power weapon.
A normal shovel is a meme regarding Krieg. It does not have much basis in lore.
Krieg were famous for trench warfare. Trenches are dug with shovels. Memes about them fighting with shovels ensued.
I decided to take the gag a step further, by printing and painting power shovels for all the power weapons in my army.
In my homebrew lore, they’re from a planet that specialized in ship breaking, and they first used power shovels to dig furrows in adamantium prows so they could be broken and re-processed.
