Tau... anime should hold no ground in the 41st millennium

Then the Eldar need to go as well.

Space Wolves.

Nice concept, awful execution -- riding on woolufs being only the most egregious example.

There is no army I take more savage joy in beating like the proverbial drum.

I say Dark Angels.

If only because they could easily still exsist in the standard space marine dex with a special character or 2.

Other then that, I love killing them all.

The new one. Everybody hates the newest one.

I hate orks!

Fixed that for you

I don't hate any army. They are plastic toys

Cheers silver, this is pretty much the truth of it. ...

Than Space Marines should go as well. Anime was, in the words of John Blanche himself, an explicit reference for (re-)desigining the entire Marine range.

For example, Plastic Terminators:

John Blanche wrote:
This recent overhaul of the Terminator design brings it into line with progress made in appearance of the Space Marines in general. The suit is now bigger and takes on the “Anime” proportions bestowed on the rest of the range – longer legs, wider shoulders and a bigger chest. The larger bases and plastic component nature of the hard copies allows for more versatile poses especially in the legs giving the suits more dynamism. The hip shields are inherited from the new Grey Knight designs. Characters in Mark 3c suits are available but no traitor versions have yet appeared.

As for the most hated army, my choice would be Imperial Guard:
40K is a game of sci-fantasy madness. Threadheads should just stick to Flames of War.

since when has the dark gothic feel of the 41st millennium become so anime. So now eldar, space marines and tau are anime. whats next orks?

I went with Chaos Deamons/Chaos Space Marines. I don;t think that they should get rid of those books, just sort of combine them.

Space puppies. They break all the rules.

This poll should really be in 2 sections. Some people are going from a game play point of view, and some fluff. separate polls would give better insight.

Down with the tau

I'm not a Tau fan but friends are, so I wouldn't want them got rid of.

Dark eldar are a bunch of torture and sex freaks. Wierdoes

QFT

I'd say, given the amount of anger presented by a lot of people, it would have to be Space Marines of some fashion, as everyone seems (perhaps rightly) to be sick of them. I just tried starting a simple discussion on which Marine Chapter people would hypothetically like to see get its own Dex over at Beasts of War and got more or less berated for even asking the question - as if I controlled GW's release schedule & Codex writing

I don't know how anyone can take this so seriously. It depresses me...

cough*Iron Hands*cough

In the big picture of things Ive seen the release of the tau and daemons codex... the tau are such a tiny and insegnifigant race in the big story of 40k (They arent really a threat to anyone... and annoyance at worse to the imperium) That without the threat of real races (tyranids, chaos, Necrons, DA ORKZ!) they would have been wiped off the map by the imperium a long time ago. I mean really if its not in the tau little bubble of space then they really can't take part in it can they? Sooooo why are they even a playble army? Even the eldar and DE have there crazy tricks to get about the galaxy and influece huge events in the main story line (eldrad caused Gazkull to start his empire shattering Waaagggghhhh people)

And really why did chaos daemons need there own codex? just make one huge awsome chaos codex that matches the SM one with options to make the traitor legions with special characters (typhus=death guard troops, Lucius=noise marine troops, Erebus=daemon troops, Traitor General= traitor guard as troops please please please )

Reflex wrote:Tau... anime should hold no ground in the 41st millennium

never understood this, how do Tau look like anime characters exactly?
is it because they have mechs?
the mechs dont resemble any I've ever seen in any anime, but maybe thats just me

Anyways my personal choice goes to Eldar, their soldiers look absolutely ridiculous

Eldar or Space Wolves.

Eldar from a fluff perspective, Space Puppies from crunch.

Grey Knights.....OHHHHHH the grey knights....

2nd is space puppies, cause I CAN NEVER BEAT THEM IN ANNIHILATE games....

3rd is Dark angles....cause The leader of the librarians "Ezikal" (If I spelled that right)...is just dumb

4th is Black Templars.....cause.....Templar's can stay in England and the real world ;D

Can I somehow vote for "all Space Marine armies that aren't Codex Space Marines or Codex Chaos Space Marines"?

I know what a treadhead is, but what's a threadhead?

I hope they never combine them again. I would never play a whinyboy marines army (IE, all chaos space marines, the only faction whose fluff I honestly dislike), but I WOULD potentially play a chaos daemons army.

For my part, if I HAD to get rid of stuff? I'd combine the marine factions into one book with options to customize (an assault based army with elite scouts and etc to represent wolves and templar, a mobility based bikes/jump troops army to represent blood angels and white scars, shooty based army to represent dark angels and etc) its FoC.

Love them all! Except they should cobine chaos demons and maines

And take away the space marine codex and make a Ultra Marine instead.

Chaos Daemons.

They should be part of CSM Codex... and I don't like all the Chaos gods melting I can see in these armies.

I like all of them, though I think the space marine background material is getting dumber all the time.

Maybe it has to do with them not having noses?

I am amazed that no one has picked Eldar yet?.
