Alright, I'm interested in seeing what you most fear when playing your specific army. By that I mean, what do you hat eto see facing you down across the table? I'm not talking about things you dislike/find cheesy/whatever, but rather what makes you go "Oh man...how am I gonna win this one?"

So, just state what army (or armies) you play and what scares you when using that army.

One of my main armies is Deathwing.

There is a whole lot that kills me, but I hate to see hordes more than anything else. I just know that even with absolutely perfect shooting I likely won't make a dent, particularly when I'm running Godhammer-heavy lists.

All of my armies have the "Scared of (Eldar)" special rule.

I play Ulthwe Eldar. More specifically a slight variation of the old Ulthwe Strike Force. That means I don't have many Serpents and I'm not spamming Guardian Jetbikes. Since I'm foot-slogging it, Orks. I can usually eke out a win, but when I have to suddenly deal with 4 squads of Boyz, and a squad of Nobz in my face Turn 2. I get worried.

I play Black Templar.

They took away my "Holy Orb of Antioch".

I am concerned about white rabbits.
(with "a vicious streak a mile wide!").

Other than that, 30man Ork shoota blobs with Lootas in the back and Koptas with twin linked missiles. I still cannot understand how Orks can outshoot marines...

I've played guard for years, and, by far, my most consistent problem is monstrous creatures. Guard can take a boatload of plasma guns, and have had other options for handling them at even closer ranges, but most MC's, you've got to reach out to touch, and guard has traditionally been pretty terrible with long-range multi-shot weapons that are both good S and good Ap. Artillery just doesn't cut it.

Of course, we now have much cheaper executioners and plasma cannon sponsons on russes, so this will probably begin to fade.

After that, my most difficult problem with guards are drop-pod lists, or lists that can sort of resemble drop pod lists. Any army that can bring a lot of killing power and be able to focus it really well on just one spot makes problems for an army that, even in mech form, traditionally has terrible force concentration.

So I'm talking proper drop pod lists (especially BT), and DoA BA, and to only a slightly lesser extent DE. I'd say deathwing or bike lists, but those kinds of lists, while good at concentrating, rely a lot more on having better durability than having more killing power, which means they play more of a battle of attrition, which guard are pretty decent against.

In any case, I can count on one hand the number of times I've beaten DE, BA, and DT combined. Not that I necessarily see all that many of them, but when they're there, I know I'm up for a challenging game.

Hush now. We know the suffering you feel inside. How you must fight yourself as well as your foes that constantly crush you over their heel. Shh... for now we can all stay united. Just don't mind if tentacles brush you or tongues lick you, they are just trying to comfort you.

Lol, no, I mean dark templars, which is how Black Templars are irreversibly filed in my brain.

The first time I played against dark black templars was against a drop pod list. I've been roflstomped by bad die rolling before, on multiple occasions, but I think that was the only time I ever got absurdly evicted from the table where it really was just my own fault, and nothing more.

Minotaurs: Kroot. Local guy likes running unorthodox, but very min-maxed lists. He's fond of 80 sniper kroot, 2 riptides and 3 skyrays (apparently a "Farsight Enclaves List, my foot, but that's another matter). The riptides get fisted to death pretty regularly, the skyrays I can just ignore (footslogging Terminator/Honour Guard list), but those kroot, 80 sniper shots a turn makes anything cry.

Death Korps of Krieg: Daemons. I've yet to lose to Eldar, or Tau with Guard, but those thrice-damned being of pure cheese irritate the hell out of me. I run very tank-heavy armies, and Daemons give positively not feths about high strength, low ap large blast weapons. One can only kill so much 3+ invuln per turn, and it is rarely enough before they simply go around my guardsmen and wreck all my support by walking across the table.

That, and I have a 50% "1" rate on any dice, so that may colour my opinion.

Guard codex, but the Krieg IS don't have the combined squad rule, means orders only affect 10 guardsmen.

Which is good, since now you can use all those juicy orders on your artillery instead.

Anything with substantial firepower with more than 24" range. Anything mobile. Anything with tons of cover saves. Anything with armor saturation.

My Tyranids have at least a fun game with almost everyone, except one guys Crons. Stupid stupid Crons. I hate his Tesla, and MSS means my Hive Tyrants have to run away from him. It feels so wrong.

My IG army fears Long-range weaponry (longer than my own), and anything with ignores cover.

My Necrons fear mobile forces. Anything approaching their own mobility takes away their entire advantage.

My Harlequin Kill team fears everything. It's a gak kill team but still fun xD

My Nurgle Daemons fear Templates and high S weapons.

What I Fear seeing across the table most of all is another player telling me I can't use my Nightwing Interceptors because they believe FW is a problem for the game. Luckily, I have yet to meet such a daft punk.

Hush now. We know the suffering you feel inside. How you must fight yourself as well as your foes that constantly crush you over their heel. Shh... for now we can all stay united. Just don't mind if tentacles brush you or tongues lick you, they are just trying to comfort you.


Well...I suppose a little hug isn't totally heresy...


Would be a shame if someone told.....THE INQUSITION!

As for my biggest fears, they are a mixture between Sisters Of Battle played by a friend, and the slobbering hordes of orks played by another friend, that and FW prices


I didn't expect the Imperial Inquisition!

I play Ravenwing and recently developed an acute phobia of winning assaults on my turn right in front of a group of S10, AP2 pie plate cannons. A full strength bike squad gone in a vaguely red mist.

I fear a new codex more than anything I think, but that's a pretty distant fear.

I guess I fear riptides just as much as anyone else ought to. My tyranid friend's Hive Crone has been way more durable in-game than it would seem to be on paper; makes me wonder if Skyblight is nasty at all, at least against Necrons.

My guardsmen don't fear the Eldar so much as just pack up in dejected resignation.

When playing against Eldar, after deployment, I invoke the "Our Weapons are Useless" rule and pack everything right back up.

My Sentry Pylon blew up a Grey Knights Land Raider with the first shot of the game once.

I do believe it was the only game I've fielded it in in which it actually earned back its points though...

Was a fun moment thought.

I have a rational fear of all things Dark Eldar, and anyone who can actually field more template weapons than I have troops to deal with them. Only one has come close, and it was...*shudders*. Many of the swarm died that day, and their biomass will never be recovered.

On a side note, my Eldar really don't like an army with multiple Sicaran Battle Tanks in them...only faced one so far....and it was a PITA. I imagine multiple would lay my skimmers low quick.

Let me guess, sisters?

My armies greatest fear is a new codex that everyone loves but totally invalidates my playing style and build. What's wrong, bro? The new codex is fly. Who cares if you'll have to reorganize your army and buy new choices?

My Orks have become very wary of Tyranids in Kill Team (HoR Rules).

Stick a Zoanthrope and some Hive Guard in ruins to provide 2+ cover save with shrouded. The Hive Guard ignore cover and cause instant death against anything with 4 toughness (Practically every Ork unit) while the Zoanthrope insta-kills my Meganob leader with Warp Lance. I was frustrated to say the least.

Sisters of battle:

1: My game really starts at 24" for the most part, so a lot of long range fire. So Guard and Tau fill me with fear.

2: Also getting in hand to hand with just about anyone. With a priest my squads are decently tough, but I just can't do any damage.

3: Marines loyal and fallen. They have better stats and toys and complain about how bad their troops are. Hello, for two or so points you get +1 Toughness, Strength, Weapon skill, and Initiative! (But it is fun to see them when my 6++ does manage to work and a Battle Sister walks off a laz cannon)

4: Flyers. I have yet to face them, but I don't have any myself to they are kinda scary and mysterious to me.

Guess I am kinda chicken.
