Necrons, because they're a PITA rules-wise.

If their rules could be fixed, then they'd be OK.

Necrons, cause of their monotony, and their WBB reall annoys me sometimes XD

I like Space Marines, but sometimes the fact that everyone has one is enough of a reason to make me hate them too.

I hate Space Marines because they seem to be almost all GW supports. If GW would support the other armies as much as Space Marines, 40k would be a much more enjoyable game, due to the increased variety in armies.

Space Wolves - Hated them even before the new codex. They always got one more rule to dick with you. Now they got even more bend over and take it rules.

Blood Angels - The old rhino rush and charge spam of yester year still leaves a lingering taste of bile in my throat when I think of it. Like now.

I HATE Space Wolves intensly.

I aslo HATE Space Marines in general -they helped teach me to play, and i see many starting players turn to them because of their ease of play -fair enough.
But I feel experianced players should move on...

I HATE how one race constitues more than half of GW's efforts.
There is pretty much SM, and the 'rest'. Even our LGS' 40k products consist of 50% SM products. Grrr


i've found the rule is:
I (along with many others) HATE whatever army is most popular at tournaments.
atm, that army is SM, more specifically SW.
but let's be honest, +- 4 years ago it was chaos...
Now just look how things have changed, but the rule still stands.


*thanks for letting me unleash some hate-speech, it feels good

I personally love Space Marines (although there is a lot of them) because I really like their whole background and diversity and how theyre humanities ultimate and last defenders, I also really like their whole knightly and couragous attitude, I don't blame them 4 being so popular cus theyre that cool! It beats having another army as most popular, i mean can you imagine how boring it wud be if necrons were most popular for example, with Space Marines you can get variety! and I think they look COOOOL

anyway, thats just my opinion, either way, Chaos suck!

This goes for all chapters and includes chaos space marines.
I think the game would be more fun without them. They look ridiculous. Their physical appearance alone makes them more comical than orks imo. I cannot take them seriously or look at them with any degree of respect. I see no appeal to them whatsoever.


You know ELdar go into battle in mardi gras costumes right? And the toughest guys in their army wear...

Dresses

So, the marines look funny eh?

...

I also hate Sisters, because of faith points, and ridiculous 5th edition edges that were obviously not intended originally, and the codex was written 2 editions of the rules ago and is now wacky crazy:

D6 AP 1 shots? Not what was intended.

Instant rally even below half way better than ever before.

Book ignores all morale modifiers, significantly better than when it was written originally.

A unique mechanism for hit and run better than everyone elses?

Instant invulnerable saves?

Melta in every unit?

The codex needs a serious re alignment: the borked.

Fluff-wise, I hate Space Marines. At least Chaos (the concept, not the codex) has some character and variety (and generic daemons!).

Gameplay-wise, I hate Nids because of Nidzilla. Spamming crap? Ok. Spamming crap that my army can't possibly have enough shooting to effectively deal with, and getting shot MORE times than I can shoot in two turns in response? Ridiculous. Hopefully the new codex will strengthen the hordes a bit and still allow some decent MCs without going overboard.

Worship me.

We hate you too, filthy Mon-Keigh! The way I see it, the stereotypical Goth is far too self-loathing to adequately describe one of the Dark Kin. The pretentious view that "the universe sucks" may fit a little better, but the Dark Eldar are much more ambitious and devious in my eyes. They're more along the lines of "We're all gonna die, so let's steal, rape, get s-faced, and pillage while we can". Kind of more Anarchical than Goth, as can be evidenced with the various Kabals that fight (and politically maneuver) to control Commoragh.

I really like eldar (not drags and prisms spam, but good `ol cc aspects), maybe going to start an army of `em

My death will be avenged millions of rapid fire las bolts, followed by a plethora of heavy weapons artillery and other colorful assortments of death that will send chaos crying back to the warp where they will remain until they come up with another one of their "original" plans

Awww...boohoo for the sphess marines.
Tau are weak, that's obvious. But you don't have to lay down the hate that much. People just don't like tau because their battle hardened knights in shining armor get shot up from 72'' away.

as a tau player I always enjoy the look on my enemy's face after I finish my shooting faze. It's always priceless

But really guys, can't we all just agree that we hate witch-hunters?

The best thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's far too late to stop reading it.

@Augustus: I think you are talking mainly about SoB, not Witch Hunters in general. But think about it, what are their range capabilities? Pretty much zilch. They NEED to get up close with those melta's.

Apart from a few perks I don't see what the trouble is. It's harding than you think giving them invo saves. (must roll over the unit size, so standard sister squads are right out). And Faith Points are not eternal.

They are not undefeatable, and when you think about it they really are just chicks in power armour. About as easy to kill as your average SM.

I don't 'hate' any army (there are players that I'll make an exception for, though).

I won't play with certain armies as their models are ugly and I refuse to sully my display shelves with them, but I don't hate them.

I'm OVER 50 (and so far over everyone's BS, too).
Old enough to know better, young enough to not give a ****.

That is not dead which can eternal lie ...

Yes! A compliment! (almost...)

I dont mind Tau, its nasty in the shooting phrase but then it more than evens up in the assault phrase, I say give Tau a break, theyre only young!

Either way Chaos Suck! ... Wait did I say that already? Although I have to admit the idea of Chaos is cool

I love Sisters, even though I get curb stomped by them on a regular basis. There rules just pack in flavour.

I despise Space Elves of all types. Mostly because they're still overly smug pretty flimsy pointy eared bastards. Now they're just in Space pretending to be better than everyone else because they look oh so pretty.

In order of hate:

Nids: Everyone plays them. My FLGS numbers 7 Nids to the 4 Marine. And back in 3rd it was even worse.

Space Wolves: Really more for WHO plays them. Its always the creepy old guy that looks at you (or your daughter) in that freaky way, and had the suspenders and neckbeard. Also as a child I hated them cause Dark Angels hated them.

Eldar: I hate Elves. Period. If they still had Squats they would occupy this spot. Something about the "Tolkien" races pisses me off.

I really really resent the description of sw players. I am not fat(I'm just out of the marines), old(I'm 24), I don't have a neck beard(I have a goatee), I don't wear suspenders(clothes can't really say cause I change my clothes so day to day ) and the dark angels are pretty cool.

By no means did I mean that ALL SW players where like I described, just the ones Iv played. And they all tended to be really snobby. Its all left a bad taste in my mouth for the army in general. Kind of like when you get treated badly by all the staff at a retail store, you tend to dislike that chain in general.
