Also, I think that SM are getting old and improving them by an Mk or two should fix it.

Blood Angels, mainly because everyone and their poodle repainted their marine army to Blood Angels to abuse..um i mean use their new codex 
Not so much hate, more irritation. I wound up against a relictors army at an event that was the ONLY non-bangle or 'im using the blood angels codex to run my (fill in blank here) marine army there. There were thirty-odd participants, and four were xenos, so that should give you an idea how many clones of Mephiston were riding around in Chibihawks that day

Actually Rogueyopants you are wrong, i've got in my hand a copy of C: DA and it clearly says and i quote 'Ezekiel, Grand Master of Librarians' and i believe you spelt it as, and i once again quote 'Ezikal'
On something else, why cant we just love all the races for what they are, they have been made this way and you love the hobby. If you hate them so much go make your own hobby. And enough with hating Grey Knights and Space Wolves, stop acting like TROLLS!

Grey Knights, they're completely unneccessary. I thought Space Marines were supposed to be super soldiers, but no, we have to have SUPER super soldiers.
It's like a bunch of developers sat around smoking dope, trying to make the "coolest army ever." They thought they were being badass naming the GK the
"666th Chapter." Then they gave them all the "OFMGZ STOARM BOHLTARS AND FOURCE WEAPONS." But that wasn't enough. They had to add "PSYCHIHC WEAPOUNRY" and make them "UNCORUPTABLE BECUZ THEY'RE THE CHOZEN UNES MEHDE FRUHM THE EMPRAS' JEAN SEEEHD."
It's sickening.

When I first started 40k I knew that I would always hate nidz... They look so...
Little boy:"oooh... Cool aliens, must have..."
Other boy:"that is sooo true they are some awesome aliens!"
Blahblahblah...
And second would be DE they look just.... Strange?

You hear this argument a lot. My guess is because the walkers of other factions look like heavy machinery - clunky, bulky pieces of equipment - while the Tau suits (and the Eldar Wraithlord/Guard for that matter) have a look more like your Gundam/Power Rangers/etc type robot-suits, but with the sleek, rounded designs you see on a lot of modern-day Japanese robotics.
Just my $0.02. I voted Tau because I think they add the least to the storyline.

I honestly don't mind this. Hell, I encourage it. It's going back to the original almost-self-parody roots of 40k.

Voted Tau because I'm in the whole "they don't fit" camp, but runner up is all the deviant marines. One codex for the 3+. GK could be part of an Inquisition book, or the 'I' could get rolled into Imperial Guard with GK going to Space Marines.

I can't stand Grey Knights now, the new Codex is just annoying. Fluff is bad. Models are nice though. I don't see why they don't just get thrown in with another book like the above poster mentioned, they don't have many truly Unique units, all they'd need are PAGK and Termies/Paladins.
Space Wolves are lame too, I don't think of the "Emperors Finest" wearing bears and wolves on their power armor. Not a fan of their dex either, it's not AS bad as Grey Knights IMO though.

Geez daedalus, for a DCM you sure are bitter. I'm not trolling, at worst I'm being obnoxious (and on purpose at that.) I for one enjoy grimdark, and while I think self-parodying can be excellent in limited amounts, there comes a point at which it stops being amusing and starts becoming immature.

Big surprise . . . BA, SW, and now GK. so basically, everyone hates the newest marine codecies to come out. While I fully support the "Xenos don't get no love" cries from the xenos players, I feel that the new chapter codecies will be on par or outshined by the newer xenos codecies. Right now I feel like DE are the most competetive out there, soon to be replaced by Necrons.
as for the army I hate . . . I would have to say I have no real hate for any of them.

I picked Daemons, because I intensely dislike them having their own codex. I liked it when they were summoned as part of Chaos Marine armies.
Space Wolves are a close second. Not for the gameplay issues, but just because their fluff gets sillier and sillier. They're space vikings, not space werewolves, damnit!

"'players must agree how they are going to select their armies, and if any restrictions apply to the number and type of models they can use."
This is an actual rule in the actual rulebook. Quit whining about how you can imagine someone's army touching you in a bad place and play by the actual rules.

Funny, I intensely disliked having them in CSM codices. I can get behind a daemons army, but the idea of having to play whinyboy marines just to be able to play daemons is extremely obnoxious.

DarknessEternal wrote:Battlesuits look "sleek, [and] rounded" to you? Are you familiar with what round means?
But maybe these piloted armored suits will help illustrate my point better:
The IoM and CSM walkers are boxy, with harsh edges. The Ork walker looks ramshackled, with harsh edges. Eldar and Tau have generally sleek, rounded technology. This may be more apparent in their vehicles and armor (fire warrior helmets are ostentatiously rounded, as are stealth suits), and admittedly, some of the battlesuits are too boxy to really be referred to as sleek (like XV88 Broadside). But that wasn't your point anyway. Every edge on the XV8 commander is rounded off - heck, his guns don't even have edges! The Wraithlord is similar, except radically less boxy than the others.
Now, it's my opinion that this commonality between Eldar and Tau aesthetics is what makes people say they look Japanese, consciously or otherwise. You don't have to agree with me, but please don't insult my intelligence.
