  For the record about the WW1 mine, the night before the explosion was detonated the chief of staff of the army, general Sir Charles Harington, allegedly said, "Gentlemen, I don’t know whether we are going to make history tomorrow, but at any rate we shall change geography".

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPssHtGle6M&amp;t=777">12:57</a> &quot;virtually regardless of rank or position&quot;... I&apos;m imagining Marshall Kagori showing up on planet and being handed an entrenching shovel, and he just takes it like a boss and wears it like a badge of honor.

  From a civil engineering background, I disagree on rock being your biggest hurdle. The biggest pain in any large scale earthworks project is always water. In particular stormwater drainage, though a high water table also presents a challenge usually better left avoided even if you have to go far out of your way to do so.

  I can only imagine how sad a kriegsman must be to fix bayonets, and not affix bayonets.

  “Look buddy, I’m an engineer, that means I solve problems, not problems like what is beauty, problems like, how am I supposed to stop some big, mean, greenskin mother-hubber from tearing me a superfluous new beehive? Answer: Use a Bolter. And if that don’t work? Use more Bolter.”

  Anyone interested in tunnel fighting should watch &quot;Beneath Hill 60&quot; a movie about the Australian Tunnelers in WWI. It&apos;s actually a really good example of how it was all done.

  I love how the death corps have such depth they cover the engineers the way almost no force is Scifi does. As a Combat Engineer I appreciate this very much.

  Wait the biggest export is not war-shovels? <br>Or is it like &quot;buy 3000 shovels, get a battalion of gas masked emperor botherers for free&quot;

  The scale of this insanity is why I love 40k. The enormous waste of everything is very very pleasing
