I cannot in good conscience ever play bugs again since they got rid of the genestealer cult army... I loved the Genestealer cult's fluff, the look of the hybrid models the idea of guard units being infiltrated with hybrids and turning rogue mid battle is the best idea GW ever had for either army... and then they got rid of them in favor of a more lame tyranid list.... sigh...

**SaintHazard**

Tyranids are bugs, because their obvious origin is the Arachnids in Starship Troopers (the book).

Otherwise there's really very little to use to classify them as... anything, really.

You can only squish em' once, then the Hive Mind figures out how to make Roach-Type nids, and we are all doomed.

Dooooomed.

(On a side note, people apparently love thems some Orks. Only 7 votes out of 560+? Wow.)

By that time Marines will be indestructible, and tau will be using CCW!

Look, Haddi! Look how many people hate Sparklemarines!

I knew this would happen, which is why I brought candy to stuff my face with, and deal with the depression.

A heaping handful of sugar makes the medicine go down all the sweeter.

This post has been edited by the supreme authority of the GW Inquisition. There is not now nor ever was there a race of subhumans known as the 'squats'. Any such mention of their existence shall be labeled "Heresy" and shall invoke harsh consequences. That is all!

To be fair, Necrons and Dark Eldar are not far behind.

Also, candy fixes everything.

For me, as much as it hurts to say it, is is probably the Inquisition forces.

GW is going to gut them come the next go around, and it is going to be painful!

So, I'd never start a Sisters force, as it will soon become a 'counts as' Guard army with less options.

I worry about the eventual fate of my Daemonhunters force!

**Maelstrom808**

Anything SM related...which is a shame as I do really like some of the armies, but I just can't bring myself to support GW's favortism.

**SaintHazard**

^ Alpharius speaks truth.

And as much as I want to see the Ordo Xenos properly represented on the tabletop, it'll probably never happen.

**4M2A**

I still have hope for DH. I play them for the GK and we all know GW has a thing for marines so fingers crossed. I do wonder what the fluff will be like. After the last marine codeci I wonder how super mega awesome GK will be.

**Grey Templar**

Play GKs

Will they be

? Yes, BUT it will be Manly, full of Awsome Pwnage

as opposed to the girly twilight nipple armour

that is BA

**Melissia**

Ah yes, the metal nipple armor. When your metal nipples are noticeable from a distance, you should re-evaluate your life.

Of course, Sisters have very little ground to stand on with this one.

**Grey Templar**

Someone should model the Sanguinor covering up his "exposed" areas with a couple of Non-BA SMs laughing at him.

Says Boobcups Mcgee.

Anyways, I added Grey Knights to the poll. Aren't they getting official seperate super speshul cheese army treatment?
Also, should I add "Any brand new army, we have enough already"?

No, someone needs to model Kharn giving him two-fisted S6 AP2 titty-twisters.

**SaintHazard**

Oh, well if we're traversing into the hypothetical here, I'm going to ask that you add LatD, Deathwatch, Demiurg, and Hrud to that list.

Also, the combined

, and SoB as their own army.

Your options have been added and you should FEEL added.

You won't see me disagreeing. Sisters models need some serious reworking.

OT: I think I'll never play Eldar....never liked elves.

i mean it feels more like a shooting army. like i can make a shooty IG army, but tau just seems to do it better. like i can get tons more firepower with IG but with tau it seems i get all the IG gets with just better weapons and a bit less of them. then theres that run away in assault thing they can do which is just boring to play against sometimes, tau moves from behind rocks, fires, moves back behind rocks.

**Brettila**

You could not pay me to play Space

, er, Wolves. Fluffosaurus Magnus Erectus. I've suspected ever since 2nd that they are GW's favorite. I can't stand codexes that constantly have you asking, "They can do what?! No freaking way!" Boooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Paint him wearing 'pasties'.

**streamdragon**

Necrons. Hate their fluff that suddenly inserted them into so many points of back story. Also can't stand the veiled thoughts that the C'tan are basically behind everything.

pssssst... Machine God is a C'Tan pass it on!

<insert giant vomiting roll eyes emoticon here>

**Bullfrog**

Currently building:

Imperial Fists
Vostroyans
Nurgle CSMs / Daemons

I don't think I'd ever consider collecting any of the Inquisition stuff or any other SM chapter. Dark Eldar I might depending on what the new sculpts look like.

**FUUUUDGE!**

tau,just becaue they dont fit!i mena come on! they only survived because of a millenia-long warp storm,how much luck would that be!and i dont like thier style.they dont match up to other races(eldar DE `crons orks even) in terms of coolnes.and not to be trollin but the marines too,just because of ther fluff any of them(black templar,blood angels etc.)

**SaintHazard**

Dang, there's a lot of Tau hate flyin' around.

Although I do find it very amusing that the Tau are considered the "good guys" in this universe.

I like it when people think I play the good guys.

**Phototoxin**

Space Wolves, Dark Angels, Orcs, infact any marines except Salamanders or Blood Angels (unless of my own devising) Dont like Grey knights either.

Would love to do WH but minis are all metal.

**Scott-S6**

Chaos Daemons just don't appeal to me. And the Dark Eldar model range is so poor that I wouldn't play them either.

Pretty much everything else appeals on some level.

Might I point out that even some more "open-minded" Inquisitors are suspicious about the long warp-storm. Hint: its part of a mythological backstory reaching into the really old canon that mentions the sensei's and the Old Ones etc....

**SumYungGui**

Anything SPESS MUHREEN. I will never support such blatant favoritism in this hobby. Overpowered rules, codexes being updated retardedly often, constant over exposure in fluff and advertising, models getting levels of support that other armies only get in their wet dreams and the idiotic profusion of number of codexes.

Screw them all.
