Armies You Won't Ever Play @ 2010/08/10 16:47:34


Post by: Haddi


What armies would you never consider playing, for any reason at all? Which army "grinds your gears", to play with or against? Which armies model range has you gnashing at the teeth to assemble, or sneer at poor sculpts?

On the other hand, what Army has you stomping at the bit to start? Not in the poll, because we only care about seeing what people hate right?

Simply put, what army would you never play willingly.


For me, Necrons. The model range is gak IMHO, I don't like the rules, I don't like the fluff, and I hate phase out (Even when I play against them).

The only army I want to start is Orks. I have a few of the models, and even though the expense would destroy me, the model range+fluff has me head over heels in WAAAGH.

Eldar! Hate em. Can not bring myself to play them. I borrowed a friends army once and played with it. Was amusing and silly. However, I started out as Dark Eldar. The Eldar Cheese destroyed any desire to play them (this was ten years ago). Since then, the Eldar Codex has been remade twice, cheeser each time. While my beloved Dark Eldar are more or less the red headed step child of the 40k world. This has just turned into a seething sense of loathing for them.

I own or have owned a good many armies. some, have been given to blood relations to continue on. Or some just boxed away. Eldar, I only own one model and that is the Dire Avenger Exarch! Who serves as my Dark Eldar Archon.

Just, dislike everything Eldar. Dont mind killing them though.

Witch Hunters/Daemon Hunters - Both feel like half a codex and the Inquisitors are just fiddly character units.

Necrons - In dire need of a revamp, their army is just dull, uniformly, machined dullness.

Blood Angels - "Whirlwind of Gore".... enough said.

Dark Angels - In high school I knew 5 DA players out of 9 of us who played...

IG - After playing Orks for so long I can't stand another horde army. At least with 'nids I could justify the painting of the hordes with the Tervigons spewing 'em out, or taking a warrior army....

Black Templars - 2 of the 9 that I started playing with were "Hit On 3+" BTs...

Tau - Don't like their lack of variety. Shoot, Shoot or Shoot?

Space Marines. Rather bland playstyle of shoot...shoot maybe assault and shoot some more.

Eldar. Too fragile for my tastes.

Guard. Oh boy...gunline. Awesome

Dark Eldar. See Eldar.

Space Marine Supplements. Oh look, copying the Chaos aspects but flying a loyalist flag...ya no.

Daemons. They walked out on my marines, why would I take them back!? Attention whores...

No such thing.

I will eventually have at least 1000 points of each army, possibly more. Each is unique and interesting in its own way, and even the ones I don't like have their redeeming qualities and something in there tugs at me and entices me, at least a little.

Yes, even Blood Angels.

Yes, I may even field them someday.

Yes, I will be filing their nipples off.

Witch hunters- nothing about them appeals to me. I don't like the fluff, the rules, or the most of the models.The models I do like are the inquisitors and I much prefer DH.

Necrons- The rules are boring and don't fit the feel of the army at all.

Fething Eldar. of BOTH types. They are racist, arrogent pricks, but to be fair, so are everybody else.

I despise the players. "LOL Eldar actually require tactics cuz we got speshulests every other army sucks lol go eldar!"

May they all rot. Hate most of their models too.

And I dislike chaos Daemons because of their rules. Too powerful.

I'm just waiting for you to read my edit, and Alpharius to lock for OT.


ON TOPIC, are you entirely sure about the 1000 points of every army? Surely, one of them hasn't appealed to you in any way. Which of those armies have you enjoyed enough to expand beyond that little minimum you set?


Armies You Won't Ever Play @ 2010/08/10 17:51:50


Post by: SaintHazard


I've definitely enjoyed Daemons enough to expand that one, I'm going for 2000 as soon as I have enough cashmoney to buy new models, and my Tau list will eventually reach 2500. Orks are getting an expansion to 1500. Other than that, 1000 points until I play and truly enjoy each army. I'm selling most of my Marines, since I don't enjoy playing them as much as I enjoy painting them, but keeping 1000 points of Deathwatch, using the vanilla codex.

As for armies that hold NO interest for me, there isn't one.

I like the "space Illuminati" feel of the Dark Angels, some of their fluff fascinates me.
I like the "space crusaders" feel of BT, and they'd be a fun choppy SM army to try.
I like the various quirks of the Blood Angels - none of their special characters interest me, but I do like the idea of an army made up of nothing but assault marines, since assault marines are fun as hell to play.
I like the look and feel of Eldar, and am currently working on a 1000 point Eldar jetbike list.
I like the fluff and to a degree the look and feel of Dark Eldar, though I'm waiting for a new codex.

I could go on. There is something about every army that I like, and as a result I want to eventually try them all.

Only when I buy them, paint them, play them, and really like them will I expand beyond 1000 points.

I'd say I'm in the same boat (Can't really hate much of the armies), except for Crons. I've played a game with a store army, and don't like them. I feel that (a) until a new codex comes out, there is no real list variety (Hell, look at BA. I could run Librarian heavy Assault spam backed up with outflanking Baals, or run Dante with SG backed up by Dev and Scout squads with a Demolisher in tow, I could even run a 9 dread army with 3 Vens, 3 DC, 3 Normal, with Chaplain (Forgot the HQ version name) running my DC!), I can't customize my models unless I want to heavily convert, and the fluff is...stupid.

The other armies interest me on a sliding scale, from most to least I'd say

Orkz
IG
Daemons
Tau
Eldar
Witchhunters
Space Wolves
Black Templar
Dark Eldar
Daemon Hunters
Dark Angels
Chaos Space Marines

I will never ever play the fluff rape that is the Tyranid Codex. Thank you Robin Cruddace. I mean, some parts are fine,
But after seeing things like: ''The Iron Warriors have 6000 defilers. But we have a gakload of Trygons. The Iron Warriors Died!''

OR: ''The Imperial Guard tank army drove into the Eldar-occupied desert. But due to the dust and sandstorms, the Guard tanks could'nt see anything.
But they manage to win anyway.''

And that's just the Liber Apocalyptica.

I have an extremely bad habit of falling in love with a piece of fluff from a given army, coming up with a list, then scrambling to buy the minis. I currently have six lists I want to buy minis for but can't afford to.

I accept the fact that I will eventually have 1000 points of each army not as a choice but as an inevitability.

I'm generally a "forces of order" guy, so I'm not a big fan of those factions who exists soley to destroy/consume. This pretty much rules out Chaos, Orks, Necrons and Tyranids for me. Their concept (I guess you could call it fluff) just has no appeal for me.

When I look at your armies, I see a IG army called Raszcak's Roughnecks. Now where have I heard that before.......



Back on topic, I would probably never play Necrons either. Unless they get a codex with awesome stuff.

I am trying to get an army of each race, within reason..

Currently I have armies of at least 2000 points for..
Sisters (Play frequently)
Eldar (sitting until new codex makes transports cheaper)
Tyranids (Genestealer swarm)
Orks (play a lot, BW and Kan focused)
Vanilla SM (homebrew)
Space Wolf (homebrew color scheme)

Almost finished
Necrons (awaiting new dex, currently 1500 pts, unpainted)
Tau (awaiting new codex, currently 1500, painted)
Deathwatch (Vanilla SM, looking at 3000 with Vanguard)

Sitting in boxes awaiting next surge of motivation, (and actively looking for models in trade)
Chaos Daemons (Slaanesh/Tz mix)
Nurgle CSM Death Guard
Dark Eldar (awaiting codex, mainly getting jetbikes and raiders)

Contemplating ..
IG using Wargames Factory Greatcoats (down to HW teams)

About the only thing I have not given thought to is pure Grey Knights, and that may indeed change if the rumored codexes come to fruition.

I do not play with Black Templars, Blood Angels or Dark Angels.. but if I needed to, my vanilla SM force can supply any models I might want to use.. (I think)

Necrons, definitely. Dislike everything about them - fluff, models, rules, and one of the two people I know who actually plays them (by proxy only, for now) tends to be a huge TFG when he loses, which he does constantly against my Wolves.

Although I will say that they aren't incapable of winning. The other Necron player I know plays them brilliantly.

I will never play a Daemons, Necrons or Tyranids army. It might be my Australian blood, but I love the idea of Mad Max style convoys of vehicles carrying the army around. Forces that wouldn't know mechanised infantry if they ran them over do not appeal to me.

I don't like the current range of Dark Eldar models and have no desire to collect the pack of freaks that is a Chaos Space Marine army, so they're out too.

Blood Angels - I dislike their background. I just can't bring myself to play them.

Tyranids - I hate every tiny little thing about the Tyranids. I hate their models, I hate their background (such as it is), I frequently run into Tyranids players who piss me off, and I absolutely despise their rules. If I played them I could probably win nine out of ten games, but I would disgust myself.

Dark Eldar - See the above statements in regards to players, rules, and my state of mind if I played them.


Although IG and Orks would be soul-numbing to paint and buy, I can see myself getting around to ALL of the other armies eventually.

Dark Eldar: Their codex is the most outdated, their models are ugly, and the one person in my store who plays them is extremly loud and annoying. Their backround is also disturbing

Necrons: the most bland backround and a bland codex to go along with it

Blood Angels: new codex seems too over-powered and makes them into space vampires

Space Wolves: new codex makes them space werewolves instead of Vikings


Armys I would like to start:
Tyranids: I love the models, and I like the amount of ways to play them

As for me, there is an army out there that has virtually no options, terrible models, and all their special rules have been broken in half by 5th ed. Unless they get a COMPLETE overhaul, I wouldn't be able to take myself seriously if I ever played necron.

I wanted to mention that I don't want to play any of the imperial armies, because EVERYBODY plays the imperial armies...

but then I realized that I have this desire to start an infantry themed IG list and paint them like the EDF from Earth Defense Force 2017. That was a great game. So any imperial army save ED-I mean imperial guard. Space Marines and their expansions are just too... mary sue for me.

I do want to start a Khorne Warband of CSM though. I plan on getting on that as soon as I can scrounge up my money. Something about Chaos is awesome. Their Primarch's actually have depth. Magnus the Red, Angron, Mortarion, these are charachters who have depth. I just don't see any depth in characters like Russ or Guilliman or even Dorn to an extent.

In the mean time, I'll just play my Eldar. My slender lithe little elves who have the best toy spaceships in the range, so much better than those jokes the Tau call "toy spaceships". zoom zoom

I don't think I'll ever play 'nids because they'd be a pain to assemble and I'd have to magnetize and create a lot of different models that GW hasn't released in order to build a decent army.

I'll never play tau because marker lights confuse me.

I like all the other armies though. I think GK's and SoB's are cool because they're unique and have pretty cool models. I like the masochism of the DE.

I used to play SW until the new codex came out and then everyone had to start playing SW and I was tired of looking like I was just hopping on the band wagon. Which is why I switched to necrons. That and I don't have to buy tons of troop transports... although the next codex will probably kill all of my interest in them.

For me Space Wolves.

Too anachronistic and vikings are hella lame. They only seem to exist as the ultimate nerd fantasy in other words they drink and party all the time, apparently are popular with the ladies? (or maybe thats just that trickster loser), and are all down with the man. They're pretty much all the things a greasy neckbeard wishes he could be

They're just space frat boys and don't fit. Orks are kinda similar I guess but at least they bring something different, are funny, and aren't more Spess Mahreens or humans. I wouldn't want Orks to go though, but if SW were squatted I wouldn't mind, or rather combined in one SM mega-dex.

Man everyone really despises Necrons :(

Daemons of Chaos: I just think that daemons are a little stupid, and that they are too far-fetched and have no cool armour. Also, TOO MAWCH FLESHIE BITS!!!

Dark Eldar: They are crazy torture lovers. Uggh. Next.

Eldar: Prissy space elves. Never liked guys who are so weak.

Necrons: We... Are... The... Most... Lame... Rip-Offs... Of... Terminator... And... Mummies... Ever... To... Exist...

Space Wolves: Bloody spankers. So much hair they could strangle you with it. Do they have Scottish accents? I always imagined them with Scottish accents. Anyways, too much flesh. Next.

Witch Hunters: An all woman army never appealed to me...

If I had unlimited time and money, I would play every army... as it is, I own two Eldar armies (one a very nice gift, one in progress,) and have recently pulled Space Marines and Dark Eldar out of storage. When I am done with my Eldar, I will build a Tau army, because they were created after I stopped playing last time around so they are new to me. And when I am done with them, I fancy Orks...

Armies I will NEVER play:

Blood Angels
Chaos Daemons
Chaos Space Marines
Dark Eldar
Orks
Space Wolves
Tau
Tyranids
Witch Hunters - Will never play a SoB army. I actually DON'T like the models for them. Not because they are metal (I still wouldn't collect them if they WERE plastic), but because I no longer have the same hard-on for Debbie Harry clones that John Blanche still does.
Dark Angels
Black Templar

The main reason: I don't like enough of their models to make a legal army that is distinct enough from a plain vanilla one (in the case of variants-on-a-theme). I might like some of the models in the range, but one generally can't have an army consisting solely of them. I DO have a monolith, DE Raider, Tau Hammerhead, ork trukk and single tyranid warrior (used for a 54mm scale ALIEN conversion.

The rules are irrelevant. If I don't like the models, then playing that army is never going to happen.

I never rule out anything about anything, but it's safe to say I probably won't play any Imperium armies in the near and distant future. I won't ever play Eldar most likely either, but didn't mark them because I don't hate them (as poll insists).

Sageheart wrote:tau, almost all the tau players i have met (save one) have just been no fun to play with, not just how the army works, but just the way they act and treat the game. i seem to have little fun playing them, thou i enjoy playing most other armies.

care to elaborate? D they act boring? Obnoxious? Dbags? Uninteresting? Too serious? Too nice? Those awkward types ("weirdo virgin f*ggots" as one of my friend says)?

I've been generalized as a Tau player somehow. When I was playing my CSM at a new games place out of town, a guy I've never met was watching me and my friend play. After talking for a bit, I told him I play Tau the most. He said "I can see that, you seem like a Tau player." I didn't ask why, I just assumed it's because my great personality, honest face, ravishing good looks, selfless utilitarianism...I can go on and on.

*bursts into giggles*

Heh, I wonder how many people expected me to react poorly to this. I agree, the models are sub-par at best. Sisters need new models, preferably with a chestplate that looks like actual gothic plate armor rather than "how much silicone should I have put in here?"

Eldar

Hate their models.
Don't like their style.

Chaos Demons

Why not just leave CSM with their demons..?
I don't like Armies that have things that can't talk or communicate like regular people.

Tyranids

I know I'll prolly get bashed "Oh no! Tyranids are people to!"....No, no they are not im my book, they are hungry space lizards.

Which Hunters:

Space Nuns with guns....Say wuuut?

From a fluff standpoint, they have no recognizable standardised set of organs/structure that differentiates them from other taxonomical categorizations (Such as mammalian mammary glands, Avian honeycomb-structure bones and feathers, etc) so I guess we can call them "things" if you want to be accurate.

Me, I call em' bugs. But only so I can say that I'm gonna need a bigger boot whenever my friend expands his nid's.

Dark Eldar. I'm not really into homoerotic bondage. If they were as they were in Rogue Trader, "Space Pirates", I'd consider it. Right now, they're way too fruity.

Orks. All ahead full, slow speed boyz! Yeah...no.

Witchhunters. If I wanted to play Marines, I'd play Marines. The idea of nuns with guns is ridiculous.

I would agree, Tyranids are bugs since they make a crunch when a space marine steps on them.

I cannot in good conscience ever play bugs again since they got rid of the genestealer cult army... I loved the Genestealer cult's fluff, the look of the hybrid models the idea of guard units being infiltrated with hybrids and turning rogue mid battle is the best idea GW ever had for either army... and then they got rid of them in favor of a more lame tyranid list.... sigh...

Tyranids are bugs, because their obvious origin is the Arachnids in Starship Troopers (the book).

Otherwise there's really very little to use to classify them as... anything, really.

For me, as much as it hurts to say it, is is probably the Inquisition forces.

GW is going to gut them come the next go around, and it is going to be painful!

So, I'd never start a Sisters force, as it will soon become a 'counts as' Guard army with less options.

I worry about the eventual fate of my Daemonhunters force!

Also, should I add "Any brand new army, we have enough already"?

No, someone needs to model Kharn giving him two-fisted S6 AP2 titty-twisters.

i mean it feels more like a shooting army. like i can make a shooty IG army, but tau just seems to do it better. like i can get tons more firepower with IG but with tau it seems i get all the IG gets with just better weapons and a bit less of them. then theres that run away in assault thing they can do which is just boring to play against sometimes, tau moves from behind rocks, fires, moves back behind rocks.

Might I point out that even some more "open-minded" Inquisitors are suspicious about the long warp-storm. Hint: its part of a mythological backstory reaching into the really old canon that mentions the sensei's and the Old Ones etc....

Anything SPESS MUHREEN. I will never support such blatant favoritism in this hobby. Overpowered rules, codexes being updated retardedly often, constant over exposure in fluff and advertising, models getting levels of support that other armies only get in their wet dreams and the idiotic profusion of number of codexes.

Screw them all.

And Space Marines... bolt pistols? You see soldiers on the battlefields today with something at least as deadly as a machine gun or a rifle. Bear in mind these are supposed to be the emperor's elite defense. hmm... GW might need to rethink a bit. Again, no offense to anybody, i'm not criticizing the players of these armies.

Are you trying to say somehow that a bolt pistol is inferior to today's armaments?

Rethink that real quick.

Your heaviest small arms built today fire .50 caliber FMJ rounds.

Bolt pistols (the Space Marine's lightest small arm) fire .75 caliber high-explosive armor-piercing rounds. 50% bigger, 100% better at penetrating armor, and they explode.

...how does that even begin to be inferior?

Err, what? You realize that Marines have both bolters and bolt pistols, right? And you realize that Bolters are basically rapid fire rocket propelled grenade launchers with .75 caliber HEAP rounds, right? And that's only the basic trooper?

Marines are not lightly armed.

I love the Chaos Daemons and maybe one day I'll pick up a distraction army or perhaps my focus while wander, but I very much doubt I'd every be interested enough in an army to overcome the repulsion I harbour to playing as an army which has Horde/Swarm as a "core mechanic".
