I think (at least for me) the reason fanon chapters are gargantuan is becase of the lack of understanding of just how potent SM truely are, a force of less than fifty can do fucking wonders and if hes a named SM may the Emperor have mercy upon you...which of course he won't. Overall the issue here is that the sheer fact that SM are SUPER SOILDERS is probably lost in the muck of "well Ogryns are fucking meat tanks and Orks can survive hemoragging enough blood to make a small duck pond" Its because all users have to go off of (because no one dose their own damned research) is that SM are DE BEST EVARR infantry forces, few people notice the speicfication that they are heavy infantry, a living meat grinder... THOUGH STEALTH IS NOT IMPOSSIBLE!
