Pretty simple, tell us which one you like least and why.

I don't like Tyranids, because:

1) They hold guns like humans rather than having them built into their body
2) Some of the models are just hard as feth to glue onto bases (Hormagaunts)
3) THEY ALWAYS HAVE THEIR TONGUE STUCK OUT! WHY?!

^ Also the lack of definition between chitin/flesh...

But the Tau line is outdated and made out of lego, so...

Imperial Guard

People should either play proper FoW-style games or proper Sci-Fantasy madness.

An entire neither-here-nor-there model range for the ADD-hobbyists that cannot make up there minds is about the last thing 40K needs. And it isn't even pretty or cool.

But... but my beautiful Vostroyans! Why don't you like them? They like you!

The generic space marine army. boxy men riding around in boxy vehicles shooting their boxy guns.

What's wrong with Nids? The Monstrous Creatures are a joy to paint.

I'd have to say Sisters. Some of them are just plain ugly.

Tau.

40K isn't Gundam.

Cadians are boring as hell!

Space marines, they should look much more sinister as 'angels of death' rather than 'SPACE MARHEEENS'

I know the MCs are awesome (I've just spent a day and a half painting a looted Carnifex, and don't tell me it's illogical!) but some of the elements of the models just seem a little odd to me, like holding guns like a man would, the fact that their tongues are always stuck out like some sort of sick twisted man and the Hormagaunts and Genestealers are SO hard to base.

I'd put my vote for the IG. I do love some, like the stormtroopers and Vostroyans, but I really really dislike the normal Cadian troopers and the Catachans.

The normal ork boyz really don't with well with me. Comparing them to the rest of the line, I think they are just terrible.

Also I must mention my hate at the change of the Daemonettes to the monstrosities they are now. Slaanesh musta had a rough night with a chicken for those things to be made.

I would have to say SM are the most boring models...

They are ALL the same. You just splash a different colour of paint on them and they become oh so different from the other 44 gazillion SM players out there?

I think the nids arent that bad... The MC options are great, the troops selection is a bit of a snooze but overall they are ok.

Tau are in need of an update for sure but people still do enjoy to play against them and even seeing them on the table as they are rare these days.

I think maybe the SM being so boring is perhaps due to the over saturation of SM in the 40k world.

For me, it's the Imperial Guard. Cadians look OK, but don't really seem very '40k' to me. Catachans just look terrible. All the good looking regiments are either resin or metal and have a very limited range.

To make things worse, their vehicles look terrible. Once I noticed that they have no room for movement in their suspension at all, I just couldn't take them seriously. Back when the wheels were seperate pieces, this was at least fixable, but now it's a hell of a conversion job to get an IG tank looking as plausible as an Ork Battlewagon.

Other ones which bug me are the Space Wolves (terrible clash between high-tech and savage skin-wearing barbarian styles, unlike some other space marine ranges, which integrate high and low tech looks quite well), Dark Eldar (just for the terrible hair, really) and Chaos Marines (silly, silly helmets), but they are all a lot more easy to fix.

Everyone has a few duff-looking units, but those are the ranges which I feel really don't work straight out of the box.

Eldar. Not a fan of any type of Elves.

Blood Angels. Nipplemarines? No thank you. Although I will say Death Company Models look great. The rest not so much.

Space Marines. Lets paint them a different color and name them blood/wolf/grey, or something different so we can charge alot for the same models that we have had.

I was going to say Dark Eldar, then some people in this thread reminded me of Vostroyans. It's a close race for last place between those two to me, and I PLAY Imperial Guard but those guys with the big furry hats just don't make the cut.

40k isn't a dystopian future setting with advanced technology and emphasis on combat?

Daemons. They must be purged!(or put back into the CSM book!)

GW Greater Daemons:
Smaller than almost all other MC's in 40k, or is it even so that they are the smallest MC's? and is even smaller than most normal models (greater my ass).
Ugly outdated models that even thou should be ImO the icon for their god only comes in 1 or 2 forms (really the ever changing ways of chaos.... or not).
Metal models (the great unclean one could be used as a trowing weapon) i really hate metal models but resin is saddly worse.

Agree with it feels out of place for the nids to hold their weapons like humans, or maby since they used DNA of other creatures that do hold their weapons, its simply a result/defect of that?

I don't have a problem with Space Marines being visually boring. I have an Ultramarines army, sure. But I also have a Legion of the Damned army, and a Space Wolves 13th Company army. One is covered in hand-painted flames, the other has looted Black Legion armor plates to replace battle damage and can't include vehicles. Space marines are only boring in 5th Edition, where they come in the flavors of vanilla, red, or silver.

I say Tau. Even from the beginning they were uninspiring, especially the battlesuits. The only cool-looking stuff they have are the Kroot, or is from Forgeworld. They could be awesome, because I like their fluff, but they are pretty boring as models.

Also, I have always hated Chaos for their helms. I like the horned ones. It's the horned ones where they meet in the middle above the head, joined by a skull, that make my stupid alarm go off.

Nurgle and Khorne Daemons.

Nurgle Demons.

Tau. They just don't fit in with the aesthetic. It's like they just wanted to capitalize on the rise in popularity of anime in different countries, so they added it to 40k without trying to actually make it work.

IG are a close second, for many of the reasons already pointed out by others.

Ahhh, the grey chapter, a magical chapter that can change their entire genetic makeup to fit tactical requirements, including spawning tons of psykers!

Even the standard bearer? He just looks badass.

I'd say Tau and Imperial Guard Cadians.

I don't like the look of Cadians or Eldar.

I don't think there is any particular range I dislike, but there are certain units I think look pretty naff.

Broadsides and Crisis suits. Ugh.

Dark Eldar Wyches. Ugh.

The Greater Daemons. Ugh.

I'm not a big fan of the Chaos Space Marines line, a lot of the stuff is pretty outdated.

Chaos Space Marines.

The amount of SKULLZ!!! and spikes is excessive.....even for GW.

Whats wrong with my precious Dark Eldar, what did they do to you?

But really Thousand Sons, they look like cat-gak

Cadians too bland postures and overused (not joking)

They need a new range for guardsmen.....

Dark Eldar.

All the old characters for Space Wolves are horrible now. So outdated and just meh!

my grip would be the Finecast Dante. :( was trying to paint the axe when the flash(?) that is on the base of the foot decides to break off @ from where it was attached @ the base even after I had used green stuff to hold the figure in place due to lack of surface on the bottom of the left foot :/

Steelmage99 wrote:Chaos Space Marines.

That what makes it cool.

I'd have to say Tau is the worst line of models. They really need an update. I agree with what the OP says. Why don't Termagaunts have their guns built into their arms? It makes no sense. I think the MC's all have the guns built in, but not them. If they'd change that around Tyranid line would be fine.

Catachans, not much to say, the models are technically fine, they fit the "whatever the hell we want to make an army look like" IG feel, they aren't really awkward, I just do not like them.

Catachans
Vostroyans
Tallarn
DKoK
Armageddon Steel Legion
Moridian Iron Guard
Valhallans

Scratch that, they have 8 different Guard armies that they make models for, and literally dozens of more regiments that have been shown in some form with no models made.

Edit: and Elysians, 9 total Guard armies with models.

Since no one seems to mentioned Necrons I thought I add their model I really dont like wich is their "meet the necrons" Catacomb Command Barge.
I get the flintstones theme song in my head everytime I see it

I'm not a fan of Imperial Guard simply because they seem too WWII with Las-guns. It's not that I dislike the models themselves, far from it, they're pretty good, especially the tanks, but the other armies have a more sci-fi look to them.

I like all of the Model Ranges. There may be specific models I don't like, but every range has one or two I don't like.

EXCEPT Catachan Guard. I hate EVERY single one of their models.

Does Rambo have a big gun?

No, he has a bow.

That is being sigged

But Rambo has a big gun, and an Emperor class Battleship has a big gun. An Emperor class Battleship belongs in space. Since both have big guns then both have the same properties, therefore Rambo belongs in space. Logic doesn't apply here, its the internet

I like most of GW's stuff, but I dislike the catacomb Command barge. It reminds me of The Flintstones or a pedal car.

Vindicators have big guns, and they don't fly through space...

I'd have to go with the sisters of battle. The whole, nuns with guns thing, is just silly and I find myself laughing at them quite a bit.

For me the absolute worst model range of the lot, the one that is so bad I would never field it on principle is the wraithguard, a dog of a model with no redeeming features, decades out of date and in desperate need of remaking.

Most of the daemons are too cartoonish for my liking. Aren't they supposed to be terrors beyond comprehension or imagining? Most of them look faintly ridiculous. Pink horrors, the beast of Nurgle, all the greater daemons. A generally pretty poor range.

The chaos dreadnought is a pretty outmoded model now, Thousand Sons look ridiculous to me, silly really and not at all martial or impressive.

The Eldar avatar is another dog of a figure, blocky, ill-proportioned and another sub-Manga knock off. Dire Avengers are too big and out of scale, their helmets are silly.

The older necrons warriors are a pretty weak line.

The nid tyrant guard is a poor effort in an otherwise pretty impressive line.

Sisters of Battle have too many old and not very good models.

Tau fire warriors I find look like children and don't have any kind of military bearing.

If I had to pick one line I would go for the daemons overall.

I honestly never liked Daemons, as there doesn't seem to be much customization available.

To the person who said marines only come in a few flavors, correct but you left out black with rerolls and PotMS vindis and robed marines with scoring termies/bikes that now others can do

Why did they break Raven/Deathwing?

Never liked the Orks personally.

Vostroyans.
I hate this entire line of minis.
If IG was only possible to play using these models, I would never play them. The furry hats, the pseudo russian-ness of them, it just makes me want to hurl them back into the crucible from which they came.


There are entire armies I also dislike - even though I might like a couple of their models.

Like the OP, the only model range I active dislike / can't get my head around are the nids.

Their weapons are supposed to be LIVING weapons, one with the greater organism. So why the hell do termagants look like their holding flesh-covered assault rifles. They even have MAGAZINES for godsakes.

Shame cause I really like the models themselves, especially the MCs. Its just the way they modeled the ranged weapons is what kills it for me.

I really like some of the nid models but the points raised here in this thread do ring true to me. I think the big creatures are for the most part pretty cool especially with melee weapons. But the gaunts and the middle size creatures just look like extra-limbed humanoids or dinosaurs rather than alien bio-weapons. If the Tyranids looked more Lovecrafty or more insect-like, they would look less generic and more scary.

Catachans.

My theory is that the Hive Mind can order the Gaunts to drop the weapons, using their claws as a melee attack.

And the others are powerful enough to not have to drop their guns so it's embedded into their body.

Necrons! Just don't like the whole Pharaohs in space theme!

Yes!

I will also defend to awesome space cossacks. Would be me army if they came in a plastic kit.

I'm also surprised by how many dislike the DE range in this thread. The scourges are one of the best looking models I've ever seen.


Regarding model ranges I don't like...

I think the regular cadian and catachans look a bit bland, as a lot of guard models does. They lack detail, look too bulky and boring.

The regular marines look a bit bland but has so much options for painting and converting that it doesn't matter. I like to add a lot of bronze and gold to my armies.

Eldar...Eldar...and Eldar once again.

Eldar are elf things, wearing kinky clothing, they as hard as f**** to glue to bases etc., and they are generally annoying. Their guns are also ridiculously underpowered, and its not like they have 'amazing speed' to compensate.

For the most part, just the helmetless SOB DE Eldar SM CSM models.

Abaddon. His arms came off like seven times when I was assembling him.

Eldar don't have amazing speed? What game are you playing?

Seriously though, I have fought too many eldar armys that zip around doing nothing for 5 turns before grabbing all the objectives at the very end.

You're probably right. Perhaps when I have played Eldar the player just weren't utilizing the speed well.

Hey relax, why are you jumping at me for not liking Orks anyways? You don't see me start an argument with people who don't like the Cadian models, for example.

I just can never understand the amount of people who don't like Orks, no jumping intended

Sanguinary Guard. 'Nuff said.

I'm not a fan of the Cadian or Catachan Guard (even though I play Guard). I'm not sure why they even modeled the regiments the polar opposites of one another. And the Cadians aren't even representing the basic Guardsmen at all; Carapace Armor really? Ugh.

Gimme plastic Tallarn and Steel Legion instead please.

I'm not a fan of the Space Marine either. How can so many people be sucked to those god awful eye sores? Space Marines are visibly bland and lackluster to paint.

Orks? Who gives a feth about Orks?

SickSix wrote:Sanguinary Guard. 'Nuff said.

I don't think everyone likes the whole Nipple Armour thing, though apart from that the armour seems to be fine. Just get a file.

Space Marines and all of their chapters...save maybe Iron Hand. There are a select few models I like, most from FW (I absolutely love the Contemptor Dread in the Rifleman setup).

I just find their entire line to be so uninspired and bland. Not to mention that their proportions are so off. They look awesome in the artwork, but their models just don't convey just exactly how powerful they're supposed to be. I think that, for being GW's flagship 40k faction, they should have invested more creativity into the SM line. How is it that they can create something awesome like, say, a Trygon, or original and inspired like the Ork line, but just go completely blah on the SM chapters?

Chaos Space Marines and Orks. Talk about models that don't require much imagination or skill to assemble.

Now wait a second. Orks have probably the best range for unit customization. How do they require no imagination to assemble and convert with? What in the space marine line requires intense skills and imaginative ideas to make? Sure, you can paint some mural on the side of your tank, and some chapter symbol on your shoulder pads, but it stops there. Marines are fairly easy to paint, sorry. It's really just "Chose main armour color. Paint it that color, maybe an extra coat or two depending on the color. Now, choes your secondary color, and paint in the armour trim. Dab something in the eyes, and then use a transfer to put your chapter symbol on the shoulder plate. If they are supposed to be gritty, a quick wash will fix it. Now i'm done. When you've got orks, You're painting the skin with extra highlights and washes to get the color in between the muscles, have way more facial features to do, and lots of mismatched armour with different colors, all of which can be painted with various glyphs, clan symbols, and checks and dags. If it's not enough, you can get all sorts of tatoos on it, or warpaint for deffskulls and snakebites, as well as camo for bloodaxes. Evil sunz have al sorts of flame patterns, goffs have checks and dags, badmoonz have loads of ostenious crap that they wear. Putting washes on can take forever, with different coats of dirt, grime, and exhaust maybe for evil sunz. The reason I have so few models painted is because i spend a ton of time making them look great, well, most of them (looking at you, blackreach models from when i first started). And i'm planning to redo them. Vehicles are a lot more then, "Glue on a gun and stick random sh*t everywhere," My vehicles are adorned with orky grafetti(?), and cool glyphes, and various heads and looted weapons taken from enemies. Hell, my scratch-built battlewagon has headless bodies being dragged behind it. My lootas and koptas? I spent days getting all those wires and gubbinz looking nice.

And chaos doesn't require skill? Have you even SEEN some of those great unclean ones in the galary? They look like a pox-ridden victorian london threw up in a gas station bathroom. And i mean that in a good way!

Eh, to each his own.

Still dont' like either one but nice arguement for them!

Vostroyans and Catachans aren't my cup of tea, but I can see why some people like them.

I agree with LB. The Ork background and Unit selection are the best to convert you can get in this game. Hell, I even made a Looted Carnifex.

This is my argument for Orks being one of the most interesting (least boring) armies in the game.

(Shameless self promotion)

Yeah... no.

Won't cut it for me.

I really can't stand Eldar Infantry. Especially the Guardians. Yeesh those look terrible.

The Grey Knight "Terminator Armor in a Mech Suit with Tiny Head Sticking out" model. Eugh.

And, in a similar vein, the SoB version.

Avatar of Khaine (although the FW one looks badass).

Skull Taker, the most unthreatening slowed daemon ever.

Dark Eldar Jesus Haemonculus, why?

and probably my least favourite the Biovore ... why is it smiling?

Catachans.

Thanks GW for finally introducing proper Plastic Guard years ago.

I paint my Bioweapons the same colour as the flesh on my Tyranids, which makes them much more organic looking.

My least favourite model line? Either Sisters of Battle (due to the outdatedness) or Daemons (specifically the Slaanesh Daemons and the GW Greater Daemons.)

Incidentally, if you combined a Ghorgon and some Balrog wings, it would make an excellent Bloodthirster.
