Way too nice for 40k they don't kill people and usually they don't even maim them!

You should see some of the variants going around places like Berkeley in the US, they literally march around with assault weapons, menacing anyone with recording equipment, and going all McCarthy against fascists*...


*Here meaning anyone that is not obsessed with Antifa's totalitarian and identitarian ideology.

I nominate Roman Ungern-Sternberg, aka the Buddhist God of War, slayer of the weak, mortal foe of Communists, the Mad Baron, Seer of Bones and warded versus mortal bullets, whom ran Mongolian horsemen and Russian tanks side-by-side in his army.

Marching around with assault weapon is basically patriotism in the US what are you complaining about?
If they have no body count then they don't belong to 40k.
I'm telling, they are being way too soft. They should start to put all those nice “self-defense” laws in the US to good use. Worked for that guy George Zimmerman. Then maybe they'd fit 40k.

And first general or senior military to hold post in decades.

But in 40K even he is a bleeding-heart liberal wuss.

"I come in peace. I didn’t bring artillery. But I’m pleading with you, with tears in my eyes: If you feth with me, I’ll kill you all."

But, but... He has a knife hand that can kill you from hundreds of miles away! I mean, if compared to Commissar Cain than he fits in fairly well.

But also, in 40k politics consists of faith in The Emperor and having the biggest gun. No modern military officer turned politician would be able to get away with doing things an Imperial governor or general does with how sensitive our society is. He would instantly be out of office.

Tom Brady of the New England Patriots.

Best QB in the world? Sure the golden boy can throw, but once those blockers let a few tacklers through the guy is a wet noodle. Run two feet and flop on the ground like a soccer pkayer, that's Tom Brady's running game. The guy is all hype, his many Superbowl rings come largely from the support of his team, cheating staff and questionable calls...

... But Tom Brady is the best QB ever! Sounds like a Marneus Calgar stand-in to me!!! In fact GWs obsession with Ultramarines could be likened to America's relationship with the NE Patriots. We all know they're a bunch of cheaters, but we love them anyways and elevate them to mythical proportions that are completely unfounded. When someone comes along and whups their butts, well... Wait a few years, the Mandela Effect will ensure that in 2018 the Pats brought home the trophy. Kinda like how Calgar really did kill the swarmlord on Macragge and not some nameless Librarian....

What?!!?

Mine would be Charles Hazlitt Upham, VC & Bar (21 September 1908 – 22 November 1994).

He was a New Zealand soldier who earned the Victoria Cross (VC) twice during the Second World War; in Crete in May 1941, and at Ruweisat Ridge, Egypt, in July 1942.

He was the most recent of only three people to receive the VC twice, the only one to receive two VCs during the Second World War and the only combat soldier to receive the award twice.

As a result, Upham is often described as the most highly decorated Commonwealth soldier of that war, as the VC is the Commonwealth's highest award for gallantry in the face of the enemy

That's literally the QB's job, throw the ball, or hand it off to someone who can rush the ball. Also, the dude is 40 years old in a game played by mostly 20-somethings and getting tackled by guys twice his size. He deserves plenty of credit, though I agree that he's not the best QB ever, and nobody gets to the superbowl, let alone multiple times, without a strong overall football team.

There are plenty of non-football related reasons to hate Tom Brady,
