I don't think the Sallies run around nude. I mean maybe in Brighthammer 40.000 nudist-marines can be found, but not in Warhammer 40.000.

I see what you did there..

But really the Carcharodons are the SM chapter most like the All Blacks. Or at least most likely to do the haka.

Funny, this came up during the Super Bowl today. I said the Ravens were BT and my gf saidthe 49ers were Blud Rehvans. We also both agreed the Pats are Ultramarines and Green Bay are Salamaders.

Umm, why? Because that chapter has a 'reputation for brutality and ruthlessness'?

I'm glad I'm not Maori I'd be pretty offended.

Ultramarines = Man united.

They are the poster boys, and if you don't know any different then you just say I support Man United, its easy and popular to do so (or so you think) just like the Ultramarines, they are everywhere and people know of them.

Either you love them or hate them. (most people hate them)

When you can't see the drunk guy at a party, you should look for the nearest mirror.

Have you seen the Carcharodons? If you can't tell that they are clearly designed around the Maori and other pacific island cultures then you're blind.

There are many cultures around the Pacific. I actually thought if the Space Sharks came from anywhere then it was the San Jose Sharks. But each to his own. And the topic was sport-teams not the cultures the different Space Marine-chapters represent.

The All Blacks are a professional sports team. Before theories games they perform a traditional Maori dance called the Haka.

I'm familiar with them, you should see how odd the clips of them doing the haka being all white from the 1970's. Golden Goal a Norwegian show about sports brought it up. Man I laughed hard seeing the all whites doing the haka.

The Grey Knights are definitely the Patriots. Super solid, always near the top in competition, and just a little too flashy for their own good.

Brady is Draigo, because you love to hate him, or hate to love him.

The Dreadknight is Gronkowski.


Ha, now I just need to see Brady carve his initials into a QB and we'll be all set.

They went 2-14 this season and finished dead last - just behind the Jaguars

In short they are going to do it wrong even if it's easier to win

I always thought them to be Burnley. I remember visiting Burnley once. Everyone had sloping foreheads, hairy bodies, mindless expressions and long arms. And the men was even worse.
