Take the armour away and the Salamanders are the All Blacks.

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.

In America:

Ultramarines = Colts

Just look at their team symbol for pete's sake.

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)

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.

Dark Angels/Millwall - No-one likes us, we don't care

/\ Never have I agreed so much

Eldar-Tottenham-all skill and ability but no one who can punch or finish

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.

Hahahaha Eldar being Tottenham was a golden comment.

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

Blood Ravens=Yankees, "'dem thevin' magpies, deyz always getz da best loot cuz deyz gotz moar teef!"

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.

Can't tell if the KC chiefs should be the PDF or one of the legions that got wiped before the heresy.

They are the whipping boys of the NFL so essentially they are the PDF

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.

NFL (playoff teams)

Ravens: Raven Guard (that was easy)
49ers: Blood Angles (coach who's gradually going insane)
Falcons: White Scars (trying to avenge playoff losses last few years)
Patriots: Grey Knights (too good, and love to hate)
Redskins: Crimson Fists (courageous leader at QB)
Vikings: Space Wolves (duh)
Packers: Imperial Fists (colors, elite history)
Seahawks: Raptors (Who are the raptors? Who are the Seahawks?)
Bengals: Red Templars (feisty fans, crazy players)
Texans: Black Templars (what are they really good at?)
Colts: Ultramarines (whoever first said this is awesome)
Broncos: Thousand Sons (Under their new Lord of Change)

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


EDIT: Tony Romo and the cowgirls on the other hand choke every December

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.
