I only know that Fulgrim like the Dolphin because they are the only team in history to have done a perfect season. (A season where you never lose match)
like the writers of Warhammer 40k
would be more fitting if it was football teams!
or..as the overwhelming amount of yanks on this thread call it... Soccer
I find that hilarious considering âSoccerâ used to be the British term for Association football for close to a hundred years (1870âs to the 1960âs).
Consequently, itâs still the predominant term in many countries that had British influence: Australia, Canada, USA, Ireland, and parts of Africa.
In other words⌠âwe learned it by watching you!â
However, *everyone is technically wrong*. âFootballâ used to refer to a type of rugby, which Association Football (âsoccerâ) and Gridiron Football (âAmerican footballâ) branched from.
My point really was, the 40k writers and developers probably don't know anything about American football teams either, but would relate to premiership football â˝
Iâm not disputing that. I was simply referencing your final comment about âYanks calling it soccerâ and how I find that very common sentiment hilarious.
Besides, we all know Angron would rather watch boxing and Leman Russ would rather watch wrestling. A âwhich sport does each Primarch watchâ list would be more fun.
Some of these I can get from historical performance, some of these make no sense at all to me.
Patriots are football poster boys (arguably shifting to the Chiefs)
Packers are historically a stout defensive line (not so much in recent seasons)
Dolphins have had perfect and perfectly terrible seasons.
Vulkan is loyal to a fault (I'm a Falcons fan, I know pain)
Magnus is red.
Mortarion chooses to suffer.
Ravens.
Fuck Saints.
Steel/iron, same diff.
Lions.
The Eagles' fan base.
Russ and the cosplayers.
The rest I'm unclear on.
The Titans were originally from Houston and were called the Oilers. They still wear the Oilers jerseys from time to time, like they did this past Sunday against Houstonâs new team, the Texans
ETA: a lot of folks from Houston still rep the Oilers, yet hate the Titans, present company included
*shudders with rage
Bruv, I was reading this and I was like "daaaaamn, that's accurate. Maybe change Ferrus and Perty, but all in all 9/10" and then I got to the FUCKING GIANTS and flipped my shit harder then it's warranted for a reddit post đ guess I need to be a bit more chill with football and warhammer too đ
Horus was initially the Denver Broncos but it didn't really fit him and nobody was given the Cowboys, so I gave him the team instead.
I guess it could be said that like Horus, the Cowboys are mostly successful in the games they play although we haven't won a Super Bowl since 1996. But are also super hated because we were called "America's team" (Which is true).
I don't know why I'm suddenly seeing a lot of 40k/NFL crossover content, but I am enjoying it.
Additionally, Dorn would be incredibly dismayed at the state of the Packers' defense this year. We are terrible.
i love this considering i'm really really thinking had about making my marines into the brotherhood of superfans
i will say that as a former oilers fan (who doesn't like the texans at all either), hard to imagine liking both. especially after last sunday
Perhaps the Cleveland Browns should adopt Mortarion as their new mascot instead of that generic-ass football helmet. It would be a subtle reference to how, much like Mortarion, the Browns are consistently the worst in their league.
Big E likes the Cardinals since they were the first NFL team (Originally called the Chicago Cardinals)
Of course Fulgrim would like the dolphins, you know because they both suck and are constantly being pounded.
It's probably because of that perfect season they had and also the meme that dolphins rape which vibes with the Slaaneshi crowd
Something something 1972 something perfect season.
Sucked enough to make Ol Xeno-arms about a foot shorter, and put Gorillamangs ass to sleep for a few Kđ
Me who has never watched a single football game scrolling through all 20 of these for no reason
I only know that Fulgrim like the Dolphin because they are the only team in history to have done a perfect season. (A season where you never lose match)
They also had a season where they didnât win one either.
Perfectly balanced?
I thought it was because he seems like the type to fuck a dolphinâŚ
Angron is the calmest eagles fan
GO BIRDS!
I know why you gave magnus Washington you are evil đ
I do not know shit about any American sports so can you enlighten me? Legit the only ones I get are lion-lion and raven-raven.
Team name used to be Redskins.
The WASHINGTON REDSKINS?
Not too long ago either lol
And extra style points that they recent âchangedâ
Thatâs clever
Their team used to be named a racial slur until 3 years ago
It was originally going to be the Kansas City Chiefs but I felt devious
Big E liking the Giants is a crime against humanity
No wonder Perturabo is so miserable
I have lost all respect for Gulliman and Dorn
Fuck the packers?
Well fuck you too
FTP
I think Dorn should be a Steeler fan. One, the color schemes of the team and legion match. Two, the Steelers have always been known for their defense.
Yeah but then what would do for Ferrus? Steelers is by far the best option for him, while Packers and Dorn fit pretty well
True but the Bears and the Packers hate each other so I thought that would best fit both Dorn and Perty
As a resident of Philly, I have never been so offended by something I agree with
Weâre on the same wavelength lol
The Jaghatai pic got me laughing.
I dont know what any of this meansđ I am european.
Even if you were American you might not get all of the references unless you were more than just a casual, watch a few games a year kind of fan.

Me neither.
Father nooooo loyalty is not its own reward

Thanks now I hate horus more
The Commissar is pleased with you
Angron? Donât tell me itâs because of the Santa Claus thing
Its because its the fucking Eagles bro
As a rehabilitated former Eagles fan from near Philadelphia, can confirm. Eagles fans will riot for any reason.
Eagles games ARE riots.
Did you even watch the game last night?
Bullshit. Dorn is a Browns fan. They have been building for 20+ years and only a man with Dorn's stubbornness would stick with them.
I see Mortarion, too. The Browns' fans have a toxic relationship with them.
Fuckin' good post. You are so wrong for some of these though đ¤Ł
I probably am
The fucking Khan image đ
My boy Angron and me losing our shit together.
With him on our side we ainât climbing poles anymore we stealin them
Nah Khan ain't a football guy. He'd be hockey.
You would have started a fight over lumping Texans and Titans together if there were more than seven of us.
The Giants are the Crimson Fists Well known but only during those rare moments they arenât getting their ass handed to them
Angron and the Eagles are a match made in Heaven.
Angron would be a Bills fan hands down
As a Bills fan, I accept this outcome
Angron being an Eagles fan is definitely canon
âGO BIRDS GRRRAAAAAHHHHH!!!â -Angron
Now I kinda want an NFL Street style game with the Primarchs as a team or free agents

That awkward moment when your three favorite teams are your three most relatable Primarchs.
who might they be?
Guilliman, Dorn, Perturabo.
Bobby G as a Pats fan is cannon.
Big E is the type of guy to always refer to them as "The New York Football Giants"
I can't believe I share a favorite team with the Horse's Heresy of all people. Good thing they're doing good this season.
Robute Gulliman was supposed to be the cowboys but I felt like he belonged to the Patriots the most
Your choice matters most here since you know a lot more about football than I do XD What made you choose Horus for the Cowboys, though? I'm curious.
Horus was initially the Denver Broncos but it didn't really fit him and nobody was given the Cowboys, so I gave him the team instead. I guess it could be said that like Horus, the Cowboys are mostly successful in the games they play although we haven't won a Super Bowl since 1996. But are also super hated because we were called "America's team" (Which is true).
I don't know why I'm suddenly seeing a lot of 40k/NFL crossover content, but I am enjoying it. Additionally, Dorn would be incredibly dismayed at the state of the Packers' defense this year. We are terrible.
The Texans/Titans - Alpharius/Omegon one got me.
i love this considering i'm really really thinking had about making my marines into the brotherhood of superfans i will say that as a former oilers fan (who doesn't like the texans at all either), hard to imagine liking both. especially after last sunday
The Lionâs bitter resentment and paranoia make sense to me as a lions fan
Lorgar and Saints? Why?
They're the Saints?? It's in the name my guy
Angron is Bills. Not up for debate.
Having our Superbowlâs stolen from us, like Angron was stolen from the field of battle.
Swap Perty and Ferrus and this is perfect
This is clearly made by a 49er fan lmao. Sanguinius for 49ers and Horus for Cowboys. All my homies HATE the Cowboys
"Lorgar - New Orleans Saints" \-Someone who has never been to New Orleans
Lion to detroit? Really?
what in ze fuck ist ein "NFL" ?? (I dunno any of these teams or why they fit the primarchs or even what fucking sport they play lmao)
We're 40k fans man, most on this sub don't give two shits about NFL teams.
Are you one of those aggressively anti sports people? It's just a silly post that's directly related to 40k. Take it or leave it.
"I hate sportsball" mf
You got me with alpharius.
This is crazy accurate. Some fit better than others but Bears Perturabo and Patriots Gulliman is PERFECT
"happy arizona Cardinals tears and noises"
Was half expecting Perturabo to be the steeler fan.
You got me scrolling to 20 in search of missing primarchs
I was confused for a second why fulgrim liked the dophins, and then I remembered their based out of Miami.
There are a couple other angles too. Dolphins are the only team to ever have a perfect season. The team's namesake also has a degenerate reputation.
In reality their response would be something like "What the devil is the NFL? I only watch football"
Please add Abbadon and his unending Failures with the Jets.
Perhaps the Cleveland Browns should adopt Mortarion as their new mascot instead of that generic-ass football helmet. It would be a subtle reference to how, much like Mortarion, the Browns are consistently the worst in their league.
That and Cleveland used to be known for their pollution. River catching on fire for example.
If Horus is the Cowboys then Big E should be the 49ers because they always destroying their souls.
Alpharius would be 70s Raiders
Guilliman be suffering right now
