Let’s be honest, when you think about how a Guardsman would clear their driveway, this is what comes to mind!
A man from Asheville recently decided he was done with shoveling snow, and we can’t blame him. He decided to ditch the shovel for a flamethower and the results were pretty awesome! If only we had a flamethrower, those snowy days would be a lot more fun!
While some Guardsman would never give up their beloved shovels (we’re looking at you DKoK), we imagine they use their flamers at every opportunity. This just feels like a very grimdark way to get things done.
How a Guardsman would Clear Their Driveway

The video comes from What’s New – News & Weather, but originally from @ChadBlue83. If this video doesn’t give you those Grimdark feels, well we’re not sure what will then! It doesn’t snow much on Catachan, but we could totally see this guy fitting right in.
While they’re clearing out the jungle and not a driveway, just look at the similarities! We doubt the guy is quite as ripped as a Catachan soldier, but hey, we still live with normal gravity so cut the guy some slack.
We may just be focusing on the totally wrong faction here. Who loves flamers more than the Sisters of Battle? Probably no one, when any of their worlds get covered in snow we just imagine legions of sisters with flamers getting the planet cleaned in no time! Any way you slice it, we’re just jealous and want to copy this ingenious human!
But actually don’t ever do this in real life, it’s super dangerous!
Have you ever done small housework with a flamethrower? What comes to mind when you see the video?
