A few:
Blood angels-the new craptastic fluff that was just made up.
Space wolves... err 15 missle fangs + grey hunters in razorbacks + TWC. Competitive builds usually don't change from that template. :( All is fair in love and war though, a bit dry...
Winner?:
Tau. Not because they're competitive or beat me... but they always dick with me.
The Tau players locally make my usual build into scrap junk... quite odd. I usually have to hamper my list just incase I have to fight them.

I agree with that^ the guard are grimdark: sending wave after wave of their own men to gain a little land or having the thoughts of guardsmen fighting orks or tyranids in CQC isnt grimdark?

I hate Blood Angels.
More than I can say with a vote.
I hate hate hate hate hate Blood Angels.
They have the most ridiculous over-the-top fluff that can only be described as "fan spank making it into the canon" (goddamnit Matt Ward, you ruin my Ultramarines and now you ruin the Blood Angels?).
They're emo space vampires. I hate vampires, especially emo ones. Even in space.
They put nipples on their armor. If that's not heresy, I don't know what is.
They wear fugly masks instead of helmets.
And finally, they have the equivalent of flying Terminators. Complete with wrist-mounted bolters with an assault profile. That can DS with 1d6 scatter. Or not at all with Dante. And that's stupid.
Also, Baal predators... really? Fast predators? Come on now. Why haven't the =I= stomped the living gak out of these guys already?
Sorry.
Apologies to BA players out there, nothing personal. I just hate your army. A lot.

Space Wolves annoy me most. I think its more the fact that every single item of wargear is either Wolf-this or, Wolf-that or, Wolf-of-the-Wolf-Wolf. There's only so many tmes you need to hammer in a motif before it gets horrendously stale. Seriously GW, get a bit of imagination!
Blood Angels are also high on the dislike-o-meter for much the same reason.

None of them really bother me much, but I would have to say witch hunters. Basicaly because I dont think they really fit(apart from SOB). The IG make more sense TBH in 40k being the main army of humanity. So in RL you got the basic army then commandos, maries, SAS etc etc. But a van-helsing look a like, type person just doesnt fit to me.

I was going to vote BA because I have just never liked them even in the beginning. I don't like their fluff, I don't like their models.
However, since the thread is called your most hated. I had to swallow my age old knee jerk reaction and vote Deamons.
There is just no reason what-so-ever for that armies existence. Bands of deamons just do not appear without their chaos masters to summon them. Add that their existence is probably one of the reason my beloved CSM codex is so damn bland, I just have to put them at the top of the list.

BA, pups, witch, fine against all of them.
Its DE lance spam i cant stand, simply because if you dont taylor your list towards ranged, you tend to lose alot of vital units before you start popping the raiders.
Not only that, but the sheer number of lances they bring to the table is just insane.
With my BA i tend to duck out the way and try and pick them off.
With my nids im forced to shield MC's like theres no tomorrow since they can down 1-2 a turn.

After the orbital strikes, Thunderhawk bombardments, Whirlwinds, Vindicators, fusion and starfire and finally Battle Brothers with flamers had finished cleansing the world of all the enemies of Man, we built a monastery in the center of the largest, most radioactive impact crater.

For me, Orks reside in a special place of hatred. I don't like the way they speak/how all of their models are named with improper spelling. It's not that I wish they were gone though, I could just never play them. And I made a squad of Berzerkers whose whole purpose in life is to kill Orks.
However, I've only played one battle with Orks involved, and the guy playing said Orks wasn't playing them how I or my fiance felt they should be played. (He had said from the beginning that he was going to go after a particular forest, but because I had a squad of regular CSMs there and had moved my Berzerkers over there specifically so they'd get some Ork-blood, he refused to put them anywhere near anyone.) Strangely, him playing them as cowards irritated me more than if I had lost my Berzerkers against them.

You can hate a lot of armies for ertain things but I decided to stick with an army that I hate is all aspects from their representation in canon to the gaming board and that is the Necron army.
In novels, they really have not been portraited too well. The show up in Dark Creed and absolutely ruin the book and they have small parts in other books like Nightbringer etc. On the table top I find them dull and drabby with little flavor.

I dislike how the Necrons were inserted into the setting background. I liked them better when they weren't intertwined with the background for the Orks, Eldar and Adeptus Mechanicus.

You start the game with a number of faith points based on how many veteran Sisters of Battle you have. If those veterans die, you get more faith points. You can spend those faith points to make Waargh! tests for different effects.

I hate Wolves and Mech Guard equally with the rage of a thousand angry suns. They are the embodiment of codex creep, and I almost inevitably get tabled with my Orks when I ever play against them.
