They look dumb, sound dumb, their technology is sub-par. How have they not been killed off yet?? They're the equivalent of cavemen. Whenever I hear their illiteracy I want to wipe them off the face of the universe.
So, what race do you dislike?

I dont like them much too. Their spines annoy me so much. Its their models that ruin it for me the most.

I do enjoy killing them though. A lot.

Battle Sisters. :[ Great potential ruined by onedimensional writing and boobplate.

I really, really hate Blood Angels. The impracticality of shoving huge wings onto your backpack is staggering. Their blood drop motif is overdone, the Death Company kit has too much bling, their fluff is dumb and they should've been purged by the Inquisition for their multiple heresies.

Space Wolves.

Honourable mention to BA.

Tau, even before they were OP.

Stupid fish horse looking weirdos.

Sisters. Dark Angels. Don't ask for explanation

To answer your question, Orks *Aren't. Stupid.* That's a commom misconception about them. They aren't idiots, just very single-minded and pretty much free of ambition or want as long as there's a good fight. Since humans can't figure out how their technology works, it's impossible to tell exactly how advanced the Ork gear is, but generally they at least come close to imperial-level weaponry and equipment. They may not care about aesthetics or the environment or uniformity, but their gear works just fine.

That being said... I kinda like all the armies, really. I have a sort of personal indifference towards Dark Angels (Their codex is feth,) but that's not hate so much as slight annoyance.

I hate the tau, but its mostly because of whats going on with my local meta being over run by a blue ocean of them.

My real pick comes between Necrons and Tyranids. Probably Necrons because of how overpowered they are in the fluff.

These guys don't make much sense to me either. Imperial fists are the cool guys.

Tyranids. "Giant ugly space bugs that are totally gonna eat everything and outnumber everyone else a billion to one! OMG"

"Yawn. Okay, seen it about a billion times. Anything interesting about em?"

"Well they're a big hive mind, so there aren't really any special individuals."

"That makes them boring, not interesting. Anything else?"

"Well, there are genestealer cults, but GW doesn't talk about them and they haven't had an army in forever."

I actually like pretty much all the other armies mentioned so far.

I don't "hate" any faction. What I do hate, though, is the sophomoric plot contrivances that have to be engineered to keep some of them viable. This is sometimes just called "plot armor", but either way it's the same results.

Tau and Space Wolves are the most-prominent examples of this.

Daemons are odd to me, are they apart of Chaos? What's they're deal? They just seem kind of irrelevant to me.

I actually like all races, altough I dislike the anime-style robots of the Tau. Those large disk-shaped hats are pretty silly too. Otherwise they are quite cool.

More Chaos than Chaos Space Marines will ever hope to be.

Oh, yes. Daemons. I change my vote to daemons. worst. army. models look terrible, and I hate facing them.

Wow...just...wow.

What "heresies" exactly have they committed aside from suffering from the Red Thirst? The Blood Angels have a long and distinguished history in battle and they have been nothing but loyal. Even during the Black Rage they relive the last moments of Sanguinius, who was right up there with the most loyal of Primarchs, and in this state they believe they are fighting ENEMIES OF THE EMPEROR. The Blood Angels are a very large reason that Armageddon was an Imperial Victory (Dante having taken command when he arrived.) Chapter Master Dante is one of the most revered and respected Space Marines in the Imperium. There have been additional foundings of the BA that have been labeled heretic, and the Flesh Tearers are very close, but the First Founding Blood Angels are nowhere NEAR heretical. They have been investigated many times by the Inquisition and found to be loyal. They are bloodthirsty yes, and the Red Thirst has been proven to be a liability at times, but it has won them more battles than it has led to them turning on their own. Have you even read any Blood Angels fluff or are you just pulling your statements out of thin air because they happen to be the weak codex right now?

Incidentally I think that the reason that the Orks continue to thrive is because overall they are a very resilient species and there are literally BILLIONS of them like...EVERYWHERE lol!

And now I've read that you were messing around and feel like a total arseface

I only really use mech BA, so the SG and DC I don't use that much, but I do like the way the DC look and the SG are pretty cool, but not great.

Space Wolves.

We get it guys, you like wolves.

DA suck so hard a chapter and a bunch of successors that will sacrifice millions so they can capture and torture one guy.

Back stabbing gits need squaring.

To follow this up, I don't like Chaos Space Marine fluff, especially after comparing it to WHFB Warriors of Chaos' fluff. Chaos Marines just come across as angst ridden compared to how totally not angst ridden Warriors of Chaos are.

I actually really like all races, but my least most favorite has to be Nids, not because they're stupid or whatever, but they just don't fit my style. I like personality and individual heroics.

Yeah I'm gonna second this. Their models always looked so silly to me and like they're trying way too hard to be ~badass vikings~ ( Space Marines riding wolves, lol ) and of course those crazy hairdos.

I'm gonna get a LOT of flak for this, and I know that 40K is full of over-the-top armies and lore, but Space Wolves just really take the cake for me.

I am not sure if it has been mentioned but I don't think Orks can ever really be killed off. They spread almost like dandelions so stomping out some only means more are on the way even if it takes years.

I hate Space Wolves and Tau. They both don't seem to fit in the game at all.

Tau are just not grimdark at all. Nuff said.

Space Wolves with Sir Wolfiness on his giant wolf with wolf teeth around his neck with a wolf pelt on his back with a weapon that is the exact same as other space marines' but is called a "wolf claw". They're just so dumb to me.


On the whole Ork thing, they are definitely grimdark. However, most people think of them as the token dorky race (like droids in Star Wars) when in fact they are savage beasts with an innate sense of technology.

Come to think of it, I dont like any race except humans. All of them are bland to me. So for me its just humans with the occasional Xenos merc squad.

Orks exhibit every trait and behavior real life racists attribute to "lesser races": Violent, primitive, dumb, foul and ugly... And yet they are one of the most successful species in 40k by a far cry.

Personally, I think they're written as a covert pun on racism.

But if I'm given the chance of being racist towards a 40k ethnic group, I'd say... Astartes. The Imperium can do without an army of bioengineered abominations who take the slightest chance to betray their parent species and rightful masters. For the good of mankind, they had better been put to the stake.
