I actually like all the races. Love Chaos (particularly the Night Lords, haven't read any of the books but from what I've read in the Codices they're badasses, and their armor style and colors are a thing of beauty), love Space Marines, love Orks, everything.

On the other hand, I really dislike the Grey Knights. For comic purposes, they're like the Superman of the 40k universe. They're the indomitable good guys who have been made stupidly powerful. They're very point and click, and don't seem to require much strategy to play, and can wipe the floor with almost anything very convincingly. Not fun to fight and I don't understand how they'd be fun to play.

Not a big fan of Sisters of Battle, either. Dunno why, just don't like the models and their look.

New Necrons (liked the old fluff better), and since I find the totally idiotic way the C'tan handled the Necrons "derp derp lets give all the command to the silent king DERP with no fail safe... He wont betray ous hehe derp" and then he betrays them...
Find this so annoying that the ancient and powerful C'tan did such a stupid thing.
Sure they are arrogant and suffer from a bad case of hubris but it went to far for me.

Oh and I really dislike the new "Wolfs Space Wolfs Wolfs Wolfs"

1.) Grey Knights: The player base, lists, army rules, and fluff just annoy me. They pretty much wrote what ever they want for these guys and feel justified in doing so because "We'll we're basically always in Rambo situations so we get everything plus then some." They're the people who show up at the party, never bring alcohol, and play cheap tactics at RISK.

2.) Space Wolves: Sorry but I just don't get the HUGE fascination with viking culture and anything cold/snow that revolves the Fenris death world. Their arrogance and severe lack of humility with the Guard frustrates the hell out of me. I always smile when I see a Chaos Lord beat their puppy into dog food. This is completely biased though since I grew up in Texas where its warm half the year and hot the other.

3.) Inquisition: I love how pretty much 80% of the time any story involving the Imperium will have an Inquisitor show up and now there's some mild/lame twist to the story. A bunch of rinse, repeat, sanding . Never enough stories about JUST the Guard unit or an epic battle WITHOUT Inquisition interference.

As you can tell, I really don't like the Grey Knights book, fluff mostly. Bunch pretty boys.

I hate Space Marines. Every army list ever made has to be tailored for the fact that 4/5 games it plays its against something in power armour. THEY KILL THE GAME WITH THEIR INFLATEDNESS. Gw advertise them far too much and smth like 50% of players at tournaments play MEQ :(

Gross generalizations aside (i.e. eldar being to arrogant, dark eldar being too hedonistic, space puppies being too bitey.....), you mostly fail to notice that the fluff books are made to make more money.
On the subject of which army is the most annoying, let us look at current history (ours), which army shows up at the most tournaments? Which army has consistently used every trick in the book (until 6th ed. dropped)? That would be the over powered, too simplistic to paint, grey knobs. That is due to every player who uses them is a total knob job. How many times can draigo show up at a single tournament and not try to suffer a million deaths? Think about it. If you are a knobs player, and you have utilized that list, and tabled a player in 3 turns, you need to have a hammer taken to your toys.

While I really, very strongly disapprove of the GK codex, and the lists that tend to venture forth therefrom...

The concept of the Tao are annoying... Their asthetic is too Macrosse... And there are already several games involving them... And why, if they are so advanced and regimented, are they only as accurate as a grot with their rifles? Seems like they would be more of an Elite-ist army (which is the way GK should be), instead of horde-style...

" It says in the rules that if there are no models from one side left on the table, then that side has lost. What it DOESN'T say is that I can't pick my opponent's models up and throw them on the floor, so if I'm losing the game, all I have to do is pick my opponents models up and throw them on the floor, and then I WIN!

I would have to say the factions that annoy me the most (in Descending order) are:

The Space marines, specifically the Ultramarines, they just grate on my nerves, and the fact that GW seems to have a undying love affair with them.

Next are the Tau simply for their "Greater Good, Blah, Join us, Blahblah"

Finally the Grey Knights, while I really like the idea behind them, the fact that they just seem never to lose and are ever the "only" hope at ever killing anything just bugs me.

The forces of Chaos annoy me to no end. Like OMG guys, I hate you, let's team up and fight so I always have to worry about you stabbing me in the back. They have this rage against the machine mentality for this imagined slight 10,000 years ago. They started the war, how are they the victims for failing to step up to the plate? None of them can trust one another to help out and so to fix this problem they intentionally give each other more reasons for this distrust.

A top the tip of the endless spire

I personally don't find anything from the fluff annoying (except the new GK stuff that bugs the gak outta me), or anything too annoying rules wise, but I do have a few itches. GK, BA and SW

If I HAD to pick one though, the faction that irritates me most is actually Imperial Guard. Facing facts the idea of them is that they win through attrition and a load of guns. They have the largest numbers in the galaxy and yet still have to call on the Inquisition and Space Marines to get the job done... is this suggesting incompetence or something? This doesn't sit right with me, I mean come on a single guardsman stood up to Horus... HORUS... all alone to protect the Emperor. Talk about balls of steel. (Yes I'm well aware that this got changed to be a custodian and a blood angel by GW but it was sooooo cool while it lasted)

Thats not really fair, Horus believed the Emperor allowed the Primarchs to be scattered across the galaxy by Chaos as an excuse for him to conquer the galaxy and ascend to god-hood. It's more like ''Oooh, daddy only had me to carry his burden while he elopes into the realms of the gods. feth this sh!t, if he wants me to take over as the next in line then I'll kick his stupid ass off the thrown and take it for myself''

Grey Knights, love the fluff, hate the codex and the powergaming

Blood Angels, hate the fluff, hate the codex and the powergaming

Space Wolves, neutral to the fluff, dislike the codex and the powergaming

Sisters of Battle, neutral to the fluff, just wish they would go away, don't particularly hate them, but I think there are WAY too many power armor armies CONSIDERING POWER ARMOR IS SUPPOSED TO BE ONE OF THE RAREST THINGS IN THE GALAXY!!!!!

I really wish GW would drop most of the Space Marine factions with specific Codex's (of course they never will). I would prefer there be a single Space Marine Codex and an single Chaos codex but you can build ALL of the armies out of those codex's through Leaders, customizable force org charts and such.

Why nobody makes a poll? It would be easier to know everyone's opinion and see who's the most hated between GK and Eldar.

Anyway I can't stand GK, too much perfect to me, and especially haye how anti-fluff their lists are, I mean, you would never see 10 paladins and Draigo all together in a battle, with maybe just 5 knights for the 2nd troop choice.

Than the space puppies. Just hate them for being absolutely non-sense and for what they did to the Thousand sons.

Inquisition, dont get me wrong i love the idea and when executed well in fluff they are awesome, but ye gotta imagine that everytime they land in allied territories the suicide rate tripples.

I means seriously seeing an inquisitor turn up is almost as depressing as seeing a whole company of space marines turn up, its when you can officially tell that things catagorically CANNOT get any worse.

God help you if the inquisitor turns up WITH space marines. Thats a whole new level of screwed.
