Post your most disliked unit in any race here.

I personally don't like mephiston because he is overpowered and balancing is NOT removing an invulnerable save

you can hate them for there overpowerdness, crappyness or cheeseyness

Doom of Malantai. Because, against a footslogging mass weak infantry army he's nigh-on-unstoppable.

Thousand Sons chaos marines. High points cost or not, combine a psyker w/force weapon with the whole squad having 3+ armour save, 4+ invulnerable save and AP 3 Bolters! Combine that and you have the makings of a really irritating unit.

Necron c-tan ... no living thing should be toughness 8 ...just wrong

C-tan.
And
Deciever
And
Necrons.
Because now they are fing elite. I don't care what people say. their rules no longer comply to the ones now -.-

daemons. Ignore all rules cigarette army.

Hehe, looks like Mephiston did some ass-kicking on you eh?

For me it's Daemons, army wide Eternal Warrior and Invun saves is a little OP.

HE SURE HAS BEEN!!!!!!!!!! My friend LOVES HIM and uses nothing else its SOOOOOOOOOOOO annoying

Memphiston in his current form is something that just should not exist. His stats belong to a creature on a 60mm base or larger.

Yeah, Mephiston's a bitch. A friend has a plan involving a psyker battle squad and an assassin that sounds like it may work, in theory, though.

Harlequins because i always seem to roll so bad against them and my friend who fields them always seems to roll the rends and 5/6s for his invul save >_<

I once had a group of 20 gaunts eat a group of 8 Harlequins. My friend no longer uses them. Lol

you mean taking his Leadership to 2 then hitting him with the Callidus Assassins Neural Shredder for Instant Death? yeah, it could work, just need a Ld9 Psychic test and a 2+ to wound, no cover save, no armour save, doesn't have an invulnerable save, dead. works even better than either of the tricks you can do with the Celexus Assassin and the Psyker Battle Squad.

I've said it before but I don't apply Instant Death for from this against HQ and Heavy support, most important againt Tyranids so I don't kill Carnifexes but I still kill Warriors

EDIT
oh yeah, I forgot why I came in the first place. my most hated unit has got to be the Manticore. they should have made it S9 so it doesn't ID T5 enemies, how can Space Marines take a hit from one better than an Orgryn? seriously, I've never seen a weapon that tips thier endurance the other way by such a drastic amount.

The Executionor Leman Russ Tank...with plasma canon sponsons...my friends plays two of them in a 1000 point game...death occurs on a regular basis...

Executioner Leman Russ'. Nothing irks my like a vehicle that can kill anything in my army save for 3 models.

I hate Njal Stormcaller

and my friend i know hates Ragnar Blackmane

Endove you plan around it.

for me, it's the C'tan, the necrons in general.

they're not broken, they work in the setting, but they're space marines on crack. admittedly, they have worse I and bad choices. but a 3+/4+ is... amazingly unfair for a 20 man squad. [even if they loose that rule eventually.] and phaseout really doesn't compensate.

Lol, Necrons? Really?

Kick them in combat, they run and you kill them. No WBB at that point. Also learn to focus fire - kill all models in a unti and, unless the necron player has bunched up MASSIVELY the unit is gone.

My most hated unit is the ubiquitous KFF mek. I struggle at killing vehicles enough as it is without that damn field...

Ratlings. How about we get normal snipers that work? The models for them are horrendous.

I catch alot of crap for my 30 man 'Ard boyz squad w/ cybork bodies and mad dok attached.

My most hated unit is probably storm sheild terminators. They are well priced for what you get and have changed the dynamic of how combat works. In some ways it's good, because they've dramatically reduced the power of plasma, but on the whole with my IG I find them tough to deal with.

As an army, Necrons just aren't any fun to play against. I win against them, but it's not pleasant.

Models like Mephsiton are a tough one, because he's really not that overpowered, at least not in comparison with competitive lists. In casual play, he's a beast though.

Mephiston? Really? He is rubbish, I like Mind Warring him death, I run two Farseers in a 1000 point list, hehe.
I hate the pyrovore, nothing should look like a cock cannon.

my mates tau sniper team keeps pinning me and then he beats me! every bloody time!......every time, I hate those guys! next time i'm using a whirlwind to squash him!

Yick, sniper drones.

They're effective enough in certain situations, but they're too much of a niche unit for my tastes. And they have to take a leadership test with every casualty. No thanks.

Most Tau players, you'll find, can't justify their cost and will just go for a second Hammerhead instead.

Tell your mate that he needs pathfinders with rail rifles instead.

For me it is the Grey Hunters. They are what make the space wolf codex so good. they can shoot very well with 2 special weapons, they are cheaper than regular marines. They can fight well in combat with a MoW and Power Weapon. What makes them OP is the wolf standard. ReRoll all ones in combat for 10 points. To hit, To wound, Number of attacks for MoW, AND Armor Saves. Then add in counter-attack. Most troops can not out shoot them. Most troops can not out CC them. Most of the units in the troops section have a weak point that you can exploit. Grey hunters only weakness in LD 8, but that is not that bad really, and most armies can not take advantage of them having low leadership.

I hate Vespid.. looks silly, overcosted, and .. just wrong to me.

-P

Second the Vespid vote above. My hatred for Kroot is known by some, but it's nothing compared to how I despise Vespids.

All-metal models that have virtually no use whatsoever and take up a valuable Fast Attack slot that could be given to drones with more success at around half the points.

Vanguard, because they are so hard to use that they are almost useless to me and most other players.

No, I know how to beat 'crons.

I still feel that their weaknesses don't equate to their strengths.

I'll give some examples of what I mean

Teams that work:
Guard :
Lots of troops.
Average/weak statistics overall.
Space marines
good weaponry, good stats versatile
Piqued stats Small amounts of troops little troop variety
Dark Eldar:
Fast, hard hitting troops
Brittle. very brittle
Tau:
Strong firebase, good troops
poor combat. poor stats.
Orks:
Extreemly versatile
Versatility sometimes fails, can be dependant on one model.
Eldar
fast hard hitting, decent troops and weapons.
Brittle, one model dependance [sometimes]

Broken-ish [as in, not too overpowered, but it makes you wonder] armies
Chaos:
Good weapons, good statline, Amazing troops
Can blow up in your face [Chaos dreads 'specially]
'crons
Great weapons. good stats, good armour almost every model has an armour save.
poor selection options. can be very expensive.

Doom of Malantai. Fought a 3 way 1850 last night and my friend just dropped that on my Necrons and the entire game I spent trying to shoot the bastard. 1 turn spent about 80 gauss flayer/blaster shots and only took off 7 wounds. Next turn he gained that back. I was furious.
