TAU.
This. Tau just seems to bring out the worst in people (gaming wise). Most of the time when folks get nerd rage, I ask em to chill out, its a game etc. When they rage in a game against Tau, everybody at the
LGS gives one another a pass. Most of the bitching about sour games was regarding Tau. The only time in my life I was so flustered that I felt compelled to cheat... it was against sisters. Psyke! It was Tau. I've yet to talkto any other
40k player who enjoys playing against them. I've never met a Tau player who ran something other than a gunline.
Their basic weapons aren't Str5 Range 30" so that they can go and engage Space Marines in a close range firefight followed by close combat. Having a go at Tau for running a gunline is like having a go at
DE for using fast skimmers to stop their fragile yet expensive troops from being wiped out, or at
IG for using tanks because their lasguns are gak.
