Good luck on your thesis, man. I suppose I can accept that that may be more important than 40k. Maybe.

It's more grinding than luck at this point.

The complete and utter freedom of target selection is also very potent. IG players can always rely on taking out hard targets in the exact order of their choosing, regardless of terrain features. Choice is a very potent advantage. Their tanks also have identical BS to a moving marine vehicle. Given that they never move, and marine vehicles frequently move, it's hard to justify the point gaps.

Who makes a rule like that? This isn't 2nd edition...

People who don't like special characters. But they basically squatted DC with that move, even though I wasn't their target. Sounds familiar...

I play classic marines and got so frustrated against Cadians that I just don't want to face them anymore.

People who get tired of seeing every list for (army (x)) copy-pasted wholesale from the next guy's list for (army (x)) because building around the special characters is just better.
Ignoring, of course, the armies for whom the special character is a crutch that keeps them in the game (most Space Marines, for instance) and the armies for whom the special characters are so utterly pointless that you end up scratching your head and saying "...okay?" (Custodes or Deathwatch, for instance).
