Vanilla Marines vs. Vanilla Marines can be fun if you play a completely different style than the other. However, if both have a similar list, then things just plain old suck.

Although a dumb strategy with modern warfare, staggering tactical squads imperial british firing line style is incredibly devastating to hordes and specifically gene stealers. No matter where they go they will have to go through a couple rapid fire/heavy bolters before they get to assault. It usually thins their numbers quite a lot.

i think if more players played things like IG, Orks, Nids and stuff like that the marines would actually be more like they are in the fluff, a rarely seen strike force

I think most people would simply like to get more variaty in the game. Always facing the same army will bore you to all get out. And if the game isnt fun, why play it.

Because ladies dig it! Why else?
I have no problems with MEQ in my close environment. We have only a SW and Chaos SM. We also got IG, Tau (soon to be Orks I think) and Eldar which isn't that bad.
In Poland we still play by VP (God only knows why) and there are MANY IG players here.

Anything but really. My issue isn't so much with MeQ but with Imperial forces, I play them too often and it gets boring.

When I played a lot, I did that for all of my arranged games, too. It's a big Win-Win, because the opponent gets to play something interesting, and you get to spice things up.

The answer to the question is no matter what you play someone will hate it..
These are not my opinions but what I have experienced in real life or on the benevolent internet.
Marines wow this army again greaaaat..
Space wolves, wolf your wolf with a wolf while I wolf them!
Blood Angels, Fear the shiny, golden, power nipple! Edward Cullen!!!!
Dark angels.. snicker.
Chaos Oh an obliterator, original.
Eldar people hate them. Playing eldar means you are a cheater.
Dark Eldar.. oh your models are hideous leave me in peace batman.
Tau.. Space commies aren't Grimdark! begone from my sight!
Tyranids.. Space dinosaurs.
Orks.. Nob bikers die slower.. who makes their pants.. lol (Orks don't cop much crit)
Necrons.. Windows is attacking, delete system 32 (enter CC).. Windows is shutting down(phase out). Space undead are boring.
Imperial guard. Is a tank parking lot.
Inquisition dosen't cop much hate.
So from my understanding play play orks or inquistion. But really play whatever, no one will be happy anyway.

I do like the Dark Angels snicker thing.
The only army that people don't choose to play from my list is my Dark Angel army...everyone hates to play against it and it's never lost a match.
Your berserker illustration is pretty slick, nice work.
