I agree. However, the last Tryanid player I played was a 6'6, 400 pound pecker with glasses and a beard.

Necrons. There's an unpropotionatly large number of necron players at my FLGS. The player base over here is quite small, about a dozen regulars, and four of witch are necron players. All of their armies are identical! save for a tomb spider or an extra 'lith. It's so annoyingly boring I've convertet up a vindicare for the sole purpose to pop lords to watch the warriors flail helplessly without their precious WBB...

crud, I'm ranting too...

i argee but i think the nids players are nicer than the eldar players my last eldar player shook my hand after the game and said "sorry i killed all your marines and broke your hq but good game, i got to try out my heavy support" and i thought you!!! it was a horrible game i got killed!!! my 17$ hq was shadered!!!!

Necrons.

I'm Tau, when I start shooting, I don't want things getting back up.

Tyranids for me, hands down. I've read the codex, but when those frakkers line up across from me, I never know what is what. Between counts-as (a mainstay of the Columbia tourney 'scene' [such as it is]) and having no idea what each biomorph actually is, I always manage to devolve into a gibbering ape staring dumbfoundedly at my opponent's army.

But that's what 29 boyz and a nob are for.

Honestly,the armies that annoy me most are "World Eater armies" with Tzeentch DPs or "Death Guard armies" led by Slaanesh Lash Princes.
I know they are "legal" builds,I know they are "the owners armies" and they have the right to play what the want,but...I also know, these are not World Eater/Death Guard armies.

I find them all have points that makes them annoying...

Chaos: Spikeys break off too easily
Space Marine: GW care about this army way too much and neglects everything else
Orks: I hate it when people goes WAAAAAAGH in person , its embarrassing .
Eldar: Their armor plates on guardians and DA are very often badly molded and its hard to paint.

I play space marines but it was my first army and thought Gw loves every army but a short trip to dakka dakka and I found ot otherwise, when I go to my local GW half the armys are Sm its heresy! Now I play Tau,Orks,Nids and SM so atleast I don't ave to play my SM all the time.

Space marines, especially the GW marketing division's bois the ultra smufs (PS THEY ARE THE ONLY THING THAT EXISTS IN 40K!) >.<

I hate Space Wolves. They have a 2 dimensional backstory, i.e. drunken space vikings. They remind me of dwarves in fantasy, all pretty much the same. In second edition they were just like normal marines but WAY better in every way. I'm glad Andy Chambers got poopcanned, he liked space wolves so he decided to make them better in every way. Now we have a new space wolf codex coming out and they are going to be in power armor riding giant wolves. Talk about dumbest thing ever...

Necrons.

The only thing more dull than their army is their chaos-rip-off backstory.

There's this guy I know who does the same thing, except it's "BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!!!!!!" with his Khorne Marines. He'll actually yell it out loud every single time he manages to get into an assault.

For me as it stands it would have to be Tau, and there is one particular weapon I would have to say does it for me, Railguns, always Railguns. Other then that, I don't have that much of a problem with many armies, but hey, I am new, and will probably find something else annoying down the road.

Toss up for Necron and Dark Eldar for me. I have had a really good time playing people fielding every army. So it is mostly the idea / fluff.

"Undead robots"
sigh

"Elves in space - only we are pirates. No, not like those OTHER elves in space. Sure, they are pirates but we are, errr . . .spikey, no that's the eeebil marines - I mean we are DARK!" At least the do not have a penchant for dual wielding curved blades.
AARRRGGHH!!!


Both need reworked.
That said, I boggle that scantily clad, S&M, bondage type emo elves do not sell more.

Ive been known to do so from time to time, nothing wrong in calling upon Khornes favor! That being said we have a "waaaaaagher" in my store as well except he likes to put on that song you wanna rock and when they yell rock he and his friends yell WAAAAAGH instead O_o

I don't yell anything stupid like that when playing my daemons but i do pray to Slaanesh allowed occasionaly on important dice rolls. There's been a couple creepy times that i've done this and one of my dice landed perfectly balanced on one of the corners. Everyone just stairs at it for a while, one guy will pick up one of my dice and try to balance it, and then people just back away...
