Please. I'd like to see them take down even a single company of Space Wolves, nevermind the rest of the Astartes.Flour said:History... and the Adepta Sororitas would own them.LitigationJackson said:umm...

There was a russian like that in Stalingrad who you might be thinking about. Enemy at the gates is based on him but falls way below what he actually did.Flour said:History... and the Adepta Sororitas would own them.LitigationJackson said:umm...

On-topic: Simo Hayha from that cracked article. However, I remember a similar story where it was a Russian sniper...
But since it was against Russians it's just my brain screwing with the minor details.(easily fixed by getting the correct details, like now)
Let's not forget the 9th Division at Tobruk who repeatedly kicked Rommel's arse.Motti said:The following groups of australian soldiers:
35th Batallion AIF (Villers-Bretonneux, WW1)
39th Batallion AMF (Kakoda, WW2)
D company of 6RAR (Long Tan, Vietnam)
The SASR (for obvious reasons)
Those guys love impossible odds.
I remember watching a doco that suggested that the longbowmen probably didn?t do that much and that it was more the wet muddy ground seriously impeding all the guys in heavy armour while not affecting the ones wearing not much more than a shirt and pantsMotti said:Got a couple:
The british Longbowmen who fort at Azincourt (I refuse to spell it Agincourt, it's a z goddammit). Charging armoured knights in full plate mail when unarmoured and armed with a poleaxe as a melee weapon at best is pretty crazy.
I think it'd be similar to what would happen if Jesus ever came down to Earth.Avykins said:*cough* He is actually a warp creature. So technically he is a daemon of chaos. Aint that one big ol mind fuck. But yeah, he is gonna be soo maaaaaad at the entire Imperium when he comes back.Amnestic said:Besides, the Sororitas and the Ecclesiarchy are going to get a little bit of a shock when the Emperor wakes up and they realise that he is not, in fact, a God but rather a man.
A badass Chaos slaughtering man with which 'superhuman' is an understatement, but a man nonetheless.
I'm still wondering how he had over 550 bullets anyway.. I mean you don't go in the woods expecting to kill over 800 russians >.<Chris^^ said:]Hoppetussa said:http://www.cracked.com/article_17019_5-real-life-soldiers-who-make-rambo-look-like-pussy.html

Extreme weather & conscript Russian troops took its toll and probably accounted for most of the deaths. Its a real impressive number but doesnt indicate fighting vigour or strength in any way.
read what one Finnish man did on that list, and say that again
Meh, recently started reading a bit on 40k lore, and started with the Adepta Sororitas.Amnestic said:Please.

A) It's not like he did it in a day, he had plenty of contact with the Finnish army, they would have given him ammo.headshotcatcher said:I'm still wondering how he had over 550 bullets anyway..

Mikhail Surkov ( 702 kills)
Ivan Sidorenko ( ~500 kills)
Fyodor Matveyevich Okhlopkov ( 429 kills)
Vasily Grigoryevich Zaitsev ( 400 kills)
Lyudmila Pavlichenko ( 309 kills)
