When I saw Ultrasmurfs for the first time in Winter Assault, I was glad to see non-red Space Marines - blue colour seemed ingenious to me. But when I saw Ultrasmurfs in over 9000 sources... I'VE SWORN TO THROW THEM ALL INTO THE WARP!!!

Here is what really annoys me in 40k:
I am annoyed by Eldar because they think they are better then everyone else.
I am annoyed by Orks because they want to fight with everyone.
I am annoyed by Tyranids because they want to eat everything.
I am annoyed by Chaos because they want to consume everything.
I am annoyed by Necrons because they want to kill everything.
I am annoyed by Dark Eldar because they want to rape and torture everyone.
I am annoyed by Tau because they want to control everyone.
And that is why I say:  everyone and glory to Humanity. Let all other races die out because they are such jerks.

Tau annoy me, because of their stupid philosofy, jackass leaders and just annoying tactics. Also i hate the line "for the greater good", yeah greater good my ass!
And Necrons also annoy me a little. They are portrayed in the fluff as being too unstoppable and in gameplay wont stay down.
But I love Eldar and SM:s

Japan doesn't have "technological mastery," nor do the Tau. The Tau aren't wizards, they're just far more willing to innovate than the Adeptus Mechanicus and far more willing to distribute technologies into other purposes. The Tau technology is actually worse than Imperium tech in some of the most important areas.
Also, with tau, they are obviously not discovering technologies in the exact same order the Imperium did. They are actually more advanced in certain technologies, and much, much less advanced in others.

Pretty friggin' hard. You'd have to destroy every semi-intelligent person who could ever learn anything about technology, and the people who already know how to do those sorts of things. Also, not "our" race. It's fictional.

Those that are conquered, not those that willingly join. And who said they aren't fighting for their own race? They just understand how stagnant and insane the Imperium's become, and are willing to join as human representatives in a multi-cultural galactic federation.

No, they really, really don't. That's a common misconception. Not every alien race is hostile. A lot are, but many are simply small races that could trade for technology and resources.

So, if you don't Kraken, it's really only one, and again, they had a stupid amount of help. Although the rest I agree with. I like to forget most of what Matt Ward has said about them, remembering them from the Index Astartes age rather than the over the top idiocy the codex has.

Pot, Kettle..
If you are ranting about the shared illusion of 40K fluff on a net forum it's everyone's business, not just yours. If someone were to spam your pm or email account with their opinions then it would be an intrusion into your business.
You have accused people of having posters of executions on their walls and plotting the downfall of the human race (and quite clearly weren't joking  ) before, because they don't subscribe to your viewpoint that the IOM is the greatest thing since sliced flaan
You've called people racists, racial traitors and so on, in increasingly rabid rants about how humanity needs defending from the xeno threat etc.
40K is a somewhat poorly written GAME, though one with a degree in awesome from Nottingham University  Everything in the book, novels and so on is fiction. None of it is real.
It's a pity that RPG's have to actually print the difference between reality and fantasy inside their book, for this kind of occasion  I think White Wolf makes a point of including a disclaimer that they take no responsibility for people acting as if their stuff was reality. I'll have to dig up my old Werewolf book to quote it
The IOM doesn't exist. None of the Xeno races exist either as far as we know. Holy Terra is not Earth, though if we get supremely unlucky it might oneday be
In short, chill. The fluff is so full of holes that there is no point in getting bent out of shape about it. GIving yourself a coronary makes your day miserable. Been there, done that

If the most developed nations today resemble any faction in 40K, it's the Tau. We have similar views on technology and military, and we also have a near-complete disbelief of "magic". Most of the successful governments are secular or near-secular, unlike the Imperium.
Maybe Games Workshop is run by misanthropists?
We also resemble the Squats, but they're kinda dead. :( Now that I think about it, the Tau are probably GW's attempt at bringing back the Squats... Battlesuits? Short guys with technological innovation? A small, reasonable faction in contrast to the titanic-but-dogmatic Imperium? Yep, this post just went there.

The Gue'vesa live much, much better than humans in the IoM. They aren't treated as well as the Tau, it doesn't mean they are treated poorly. Plus, they get their own worlds, so there's that. A human society away from the IoM is the dream of just about every non-adeptus human.
The sterilization thing is hinted at in one of several non-canon endings to a video game. It REALLY doesn't matter.
Actually, the tau don't use anything as canon fodder, ever (except on the TT, but that is really human players so...) check out this quote from codex: Tau Empire.
When they absolutely must storm defenses, the attack will be led by auxilliary troops such as the kroot in a variation of kauyon. The assault troops are not used as pawns-the Tau way of war does not recognize the concept of expendable troops. Instead, their safety is entrusted to the troops providing covering fire who must identify and kill enemy firebases before the assault force suffers harm
They are just used as storm troops, due to being stronger than tau, and tougher than kroot (though not as strong as kroot).

Warhammer 40k was purposefully over and the top and insane! According to it Daemon Princes have been around since the Middle Ages! Just because some Sci Fi is close to reality does not mean all Sci Fi is! All squares are rectangles but not all rectangles are squares.
Just ask any GW employee, "Do you think Warhammer 40k is accurate about what will happen in the future?" and listen to their answer.

Some science fiction is close to reality, but most is not. A lot of science fiction didn't predict technological advances that would come in the future; in 2001: A Space Odyssey, for example, we were completely wrong about how computers would advance. But some elements in science fiction (Like the Monolith in the before-mentioned 2001) were never designed to be realistic in the first place, and most of Warhammer 40k fits under this category.

It is worth noting though, that tesla, who lived in the 1800's, predicted the internet. Not sure how relevant it is, but I LIKE TESLA.

The chances of us leaving our solar system, ever, are so amazingly slim that even with every bit of money on earth funding it we wouldn't be able to do that even in thousands of years. Unless we have an infinitely renewable energy source aboard ships (like plasma reactors, or some way to harness energy from the cold), artificial gravity technology (CAN'T exist), Enormous amounts of redundancy aboard ships and the ability to construct entire colonies on hostile worlds (even Mars, which is fairly hospitable as far as rocks in space go) within a generation, the ability to create an indefinate amount of food aboard ships and about a million other things I am forgetting. Minus even one of those, that would be impossible. Moon Colony is a maybe though.

Sadly you are right. With our today's rocket technology we would need at least 2 year mission to Mars.
But I am optimist, and I am certain we will see Moon base or even Mars base by the end of this century.
As for artificial gravity technology you are also right, but remember that they find particles faster then light recently so they also might find something interesting in that area to.
I also was looking at "Anchien Aliens" recently ( quite good series ) and I saw the new idea of our scientist: a gyroscope with Mercury in it. And when you start it ( when you set it to spin ) after some time the Mercury create some kind of anti-gravitational field.
But for now all of this is all just speculations and theories

What the C'tan feed on are not souls, but a purely physiological source of energy, they devour the matter and feed off the electric currents running through the bodies of mortals, or something like that. Forget the wording.

On the other hand, I really dislike the Grey Knights. For comic purposes, they're like the Superman of the 40k universe. They're the indomitable good guys who have been made stupidly powerful. They're very point and click, and don't seem to require much strategy to play, and can wipe the floor with almost anything very convincingly. Not fun to fight and I don't understand how they'd be fun to play.
Not a big fan of Sisters of Battle, either. Dunno why, just don't like the models and their look.

1.) Grey Knights: The player base, lists, army rules, and fluff just annoy me. They pretty much wrote what ever they want for these guys and feel justified in doing so because "We'll we're basically always in Rambo situations so we get everything plus then some." They're the people who show up at the party, never bring alcohol, and play cheap tactics at RISK.
2.) Space Wolves: Sorry but I just don't get the HUGE fascination with viking culture and anything cold/snow that revolves the Fenris death world. Their arrogance and severe lack of humility with the Guard frustrates the hell out of me. I always smile when I see a Chaos Lord beat their puppy  into dog food. This is completely biased though since I grew up in Texas where its warm half the year and hot the other.
3.) Inquisition: I love how pretty much 80% of the time any story involving the Imperium will have an Inquisitor show up and now there's some mild/lame twist to the story. A bunch of rinse, repeat, sanding  . Never enough stories about JUST the Guard unit or an epic battle WITHOUT Inquisition interference.

Listen up Devil Dog/Astartes, just pretend like you're doing something important and leave the hard work to us, hooah?
All kidding aside, if I hear one more quote about Corpse Bride's snow poodles from players, I'm gonna vomit molten hate.

I hate Space Marines. Every army list ever made has to be tailored for the fact that 4/5 games it plays its against something in power armour. THEY KILL THE GAME WITH THEIR INFLATEDNESS. Gw advertise them far too much and smth like 50% of players at tournaments play MEQ :(

Gross generalizations aside (i.e. eldar being to arrogant, dark eldar being too hedonistic, space puppies being too bitey.....), you mostly fail to notice that the fluff books are made to make more money.
On the subject of which army is the most annoying, let us look at current history (ours), which army shows up at the most tournaments? Which army has consistently used every trick in the book (until 6th ed. dropped)? That would be the over powered, too simplistic to paint, grey knobs. That is due to every player who uses them is a total knob job. How many times can draigo show up at a single tournament and not try to suffer a million deaths? Think about it. If you are a knobs player, and you have utilized that list, and tabled a player in 3 turns, you need to have a hammer taken to your toys.

While I really, very strongly disapprove of the GK codex, and the lists that tend to venture forth therefrom...
The concept of the Tao are annoying... Their asthetic is too Macrosse... And there are already several games involving them... And why, if they are so advanced and regimented, are they only as accurate as a grot with their rifles? Seems like they would be more of an Elite-ist army (which is the way GK should be), instead of horde-style...
On the other hand...

Nids. The great Devourer. We may as well just stop playing 40k if these guys ever get their act together and full on attack.
Oh and Ultramarines. Frickin' spirit liege my ass.

I hate field artillery and marines. King of battle my arse.
Anyways. I don't really hate any race but I really don't like Tau. I don't know why but everyone has their opinion. I thinks it the fish factor...

FA is called King of Battle for a reason. More kills upon the battlefield than any other weapon system. Well, conventional weapon system.

I would have to say the factions that annoy me the most (in Descending order) are:
The Space marines, specifically the Ultramarines, they just grate on my nerves, and the fact that GW seems to have a undying love affair with them.
Next are the Tau simply for their "Greater Good, Blah, Join us, Blahblah"
Finally the Grey Knights, while I really like the idea behind them, the fact that they just seem never to lose and are ever the "only" hope at ever killing anything just bugs me.

Horus and his whiny little cry-baby brothers annoy me. "Oooh, my dad doesn't pay attention to me anymore. Boo-Hoo. I'm not the center of his universe anymore. He just gave me this "Greatest Army In The Galaxy Kit (TM)" to play with, and then left. Waaaaaaah."
Bunch of whiny little girlieboys.

The ones who've attacked so far are just the ones who entered this galaxy first. The gang will eventually turn up. AFAIK there's a never-ending tide of them in the void between the galaxies.

As for the faction that annoys me the most. I dunno. Blood Angels seem kinda stupid to me. I don't think the High Lords and the Inquisition would be so tolerant towards warp crazied vampire Space Marines.

The forces of Chaos annoy me to no end. Like OMG guys, I hate you, let's team up and fight so I always have to worry about you stabbing me in the back. They have this rage against the machine mentality for this imagined slight 10,000 years ago. They started the war, how are they the victims for failing to step up to the plate? None of them can trust one another to help out and so to fix this problem they intentionally give each other more reasons for this distrust.

I personally don't find anything from the fluff annoying (except the new GK stuff that bugs the gak outta me), or anything too annoying rules wise, but I do have a few itches. GK, BA and SW
If I HAD to pick one though, the faction that irritates me most is actually Imperial Guard. Facing facts the idea of them is that they win through attrition and a load of guns. They have the largest numbers in the galaxy and yet still have to call on the Inquisition and Space Marines to get the job done... is this suggesting incompetence or something? This doesn't sit right with me, I mean come on a single guardsman stood up to Horus... HORUS... all alone to protect the Emperor. Talk about balls of steel. (Yes I'm well aware that this got changed to be a custodian and a blood angel by GW but it was sooooo cool while it lasted) Automatically Appended Next Post: SgtSixkilla wrote:Horus and his whiny little cry-baby brothers annoy me.

Thats not really fair, Horus believed the Emperor allowed the Primarchs to be scattered across the galaxy by Chaos as an excuse for him to conquer the galaxy and ascend to god-hood. It's more like ''Oooh, daddy only had me to carry his burden while he elopes into the realms of the gods. feth this sh!t, if he wants me to take over as the next in line then I'll kick his stupid ass off the thrown and take it for myself''

Grey Knights, love the fluff, hate the codex and the powergaming
Blood Angels, hate the fluff, hate the codex and the powergaming
Space Wolves, neutral to the fluff, dislike the codex and the powergaming
Sisters of Battle, neutral to the fluff, just wish they would go away, don't particularly hate them, but I think there are WAY too many power armor armies CONSIDERING POWER ARMOR IS SUPPOSED TO BE ONE OF THE RAREST THINGS IN THE GALAXY!!!!!
I really wish GW would drop most of the Space Marine factions with specific Codex's (of course they never will). I would prefer there be a single Space Marine Codex and an single Chaos codex but you can build ALL of the armies out of those codex's through Leaders, customizable force org charts and such.

I personally hate the adeptus mechanicus, due to the fact that they are a part of the imperium who sees religion as heretical, yet they still prey to the machine god -_-

Why nobody makes a poll? It would be easier to know everyone's opinion and see who's the most hated between GK and Eldar.
Anyway I can't stand GK, too much perfect to me, and especially haye how anti-fluff their lists are, I mean, you would never see 10  paladins and Draigo all together in a battle, with maybe just 5 knights for the 2nd troop choice.
Than the space puppies. Just hate them for being absolutely non-sense and for what they did to the Thousand sons.

Inquisition, dont get me wrong i love the idea and when executed well in fluff they are awesome, but ye gotta imagine that everytime they land in allied territories the suicide rate tripples.
I means seriously seeing an inquisitor turn up is almost as depressing as seeing a whole company of space marines turn up, its when you can officially tell that things catagorically CANNOT get any worse.
God help you if the inquisitor turns up WITH space marines. Thats a whole new level of screwed.
