Doom of Malan'tai.

Considering the Doom of Malan'tai, and the Mawloc alone, it's Tyranids hands-down.

How quickly people forget the arguments over the Orders, Hot-shot laguns and Valkeries.. All on all, I'd say that it is close.

By length of FAQ it is the Space Wolves hands down but there seemed to be a lot of unnecessary clarifications in it.

By model Design and army wide rules then it leans towards the IG.

By key units being crippled through unclear rules and contridictions it goes to the 'Nids

Oh yes, I remember them (seeing as I posted rather heavily on the IGMB at the time of release). But the fact remains that there were nowhere NEAR as much arguments about IG. And the Tyranid FAQ made 'nid fans rage so damn hard.

So everyone liked the BA book, cover art, necron alliance fluff, and armor nipples aside?

@Manchu, Never said that I liked the BA's. Just answered the topic of ambiguities. Aside from not releasing a model and a chinese translation fail in the descent of angels rule, the codex was fairly solid when compared to the rules ambiguities of the 'nids, puppies and the IG.
