Whats the one army that gives you a pain in the neck and why???

I don't like fighting grey knights, and they are Marines.

Imperial Guard. I actually defeat them fairly regularly, but there is an intimidation factor that I never can seem to shake. I hate when I see an IG army across from me. Although I know what they do and I know how to defeat them - they always seem to give me a tough game.

Absolutely loathe playing against intelligent SW and DE.

I play Black Templars and nothing is better than running into Grey Knight Paladin assult range when they kill a single guy with stormbotlters.

MECH marine and really any vangaurd heavy marine list (damn DS auto assaults with DoA) and nids burrower poping up and grabbing alot of my suits those units are hard everything else is cake in those armies

Mech Blood angels or TWC Wolves for me. Blood Angels because they do everything my Sisters can do, just better and cheaper. TWC just because I hate the things, haven't been nearly as bad since I started up GK though.

Space Wolves massed Marines.

I play mech eldar so trying to cause enough wounds to kill off 90+ marines with Drop pods is rather hard.

IG cause orks lack some av14 popping power :(.

I spent some time playing eldar and with the points cost on bright lances, i hate the 3 land raider and 4 land raider list. The only way i can take them down is turbo boosting into them going 24 inches and hoping that i can pen. it. But the one army i hate playing has to be the ork armies that use 3-5 squads of nobs with all different weapons. The sheer fact that the ork player has to have a pen and paper to write down what nobs have what wounds and trying to figure out whats going on. Paper work and 40k shouldn't ever be put together. It gets old, fast; I have played people who forget where each wound is and we have to try and play that game of i think it was on this and no its wasn't it was on this. and for some reason the power claw waaagh banner guy never has wounds on him... something is wrong here.

Imperial guard, by far. They can hide away with manticores, and so avoid my mass darklance/brightlance/any other gun I have for armies, and they can fire back. And dark eldar/eldar don't take punishment very well.

Kan Wall Orks is the only army I have a problem with, though I'm interested in trying out the latest permutation of my army against it...I suspect it'll do better.

My love for Striking Scorpions makes it hard to play GK and BA... Specially when i don't use fire dragons at all.

Eldar are obnoxious with their hard to kill vehicles. The newer space marine variants are annoying also because of the "WTF Factor". And that's coming from a GK player.

Sisters of Battle, because I hate telling my troops to go and kill enemy soldiers that are female. That's why I play the Sisters against my mom, and she plays Space Marines because she's used to them - I started teaching her with her playing Space Marines, so she just got used to playing them and got used to their statlines and units and everything.

Edit: The mental envisioning of the battle that I sometimes get is somewhat disturbing. But even with me playing my Sisters, it doesn't go away, because every so often, I have to remove handfuls of my own troops, and it disturbs me when I picture their deaths - or grievous wounds, at the least. I can't stop my imagination sometimes, even if I really want to. The worst was when 15 Battle Sisters died to plasma cannon fire in one round of shooting.

SMs should really be split into several entries...
Vanilla, BA, SW and GK all play quite differently

Where the hell is Grey Knights on this list.
fething Purifiers and S8 Rifleman Dreads. Especially as Dark Eldar.

I have a lot of trouble with my bugs against the draigo/paladins list. Taking MC's is an auto fail, and i dont seem to have enough genestealers to do the job either. I have beaten them once pretty good, lash whip and bonesword warriors did good at instant deathing paladins. after that my opponent has always made them a high priority. Ugh, nids codex pisses me off sometimes.
