I like the thred its good stuff I'll be keeping an eye on this one. Also I hope the emo DAs are next.

It'll be called Codex SoB and not WH in this thread.

You heard it here first

Oh and I'll be controversial and say Guard as No.1

Good luck with this.

I 100% agree. While I might not agree with the opinions, still a very good read and always interesting to see the thoughts on other armies!

Correct. No need for a flame war just because Mellissa has (to some) controversial views.

This is the sort of thread you keep an eye on, simply for the reason "where does my favourite army place, and what will be the verdict about it". Personally I'd better not make a similar list, since all Marine codices except Space Wolfs would end up bottom rung (i.e. a fairly boring list to read).

I just hope more people remember that it's a thread regarding one person's views and opinions about each individual army, and not about facts or which army is better because of <insert poster's personal opinion here>.

Tyranids are third last?

I thought they would be higher. When I play tyranids, I always thought it had the "when animals attack" kind of feel to it. Oh well.

Damn mellisia...Stop posting so much...You have even more posts than me!

<3

Anyway, I mostly agree so far, except CSM would be about number 8 on my list. Necrons..Obviously last...BT.. 15th.

No guesses about Guard and Witchunters... Er, sorry, Sisters of Battle, being in the top 3.

Anyways, I was interested in this thread until I saw that you're just ranking the books based on which ones you like to play versus the ones you'll never play. I thought this was going to be a list based on each books strengths and weaknesses.

That would require some degree of analysis skill.

Whats not to love with BT, I love the crusadeing knight feel they have, its great! Sure we don't have all the cool new toys that SM have but thats a good thing, plus with all the people joining the DE band wagon Lances won't do much against our LRC.

But this is your opinion though I think its wrong, its yours so I won't hold you to it.

SoB, Orks and Guard!

These 'opinion' threads are just that.

It is best to just relax and enjoy the ride, if that's possible.

I see Grey Knights appearing very shortly.

Viking Scot: the Orange Knight is the best knight.

I don't think there's any flaming going on here, we're just arguing opinon anyways and most of the fun in that is the whole: "You're wrong, I'm right and here's why!" kinda' thing; and I certainly won't deny being opinionated and blunt but there's certainly no malice there.

...OR IS THERE!? (creepy music, maybe an orchesta hit!)

Im sorry if I seemed rude, that wasn't my intention

Melissa I LOVE you... for putting BT so low!

What, what did you think I was gonna say?

Such is the life of us Templars, never loved, always shunned.

Oh well, at least we don't use the Codex Astartes for everything.

These ratings are based off of the army's current fluff, composition, competitiveness, and overall appeal to me. If it were purely the latter, CSMs would be in position 76, while Necrons would be moved to position 15.

I'm debating whether or not to include the new Dark Eldar rules in judging that army at the moment.

>.> You could do them seperately? Ie where they are 'currently' and where they might be given the rules?

I agree with the first three, especially the nids and crons because I hate "our army is sooo much better and will destroy everyone else... sometime next week" fluff.

Not sure about Templars though. I quite like the pseudo knightly stuff but its a matter of taste to be sure.

Is it ironic that Mellissia's first three choices (Necrons, Tyranids & Chaos) are all armies I play?

Weird...

How many armies do you not play?

Yes, that is ironic. I'm sure we can count on witch hunters being at least number 5

*Must not snark at the complainers. Must not snark the complainers*

Sigh...I completely agree with the take on CSM. And, sadly (because I like them) on Necrons too.

I disagree with Nids rant, for me they are perfect at least fluff-wise.

If this is about blandness and uselessness I would hazard a guess that the next are Tau. But I wouldn´t be surprised if its Eldar.

My bet's Emo-rines. I mean they attack themselves, for the love of cheese.

Blood angels? Never heard them called that before

I don't think so. There's worse things..Like dark angels..or grey knights....Or chaos daemons.

Dark angels.

Actually, my dilemma is pretty much that.

If I include Dark Eldar without newly released rules and fluff, they're next. If I DO consider the yet-to-be-released rules and fluff, they're probably going to be much higher, because those models look amazing and the rules look quite fun.

@Dark Eldar dilemma, I'd run down to my Gw and point a gun at the staff. If they don't tell you how awesome the new Dark Eldar will be on a
scale of 1-10, you shoot one of them and ask again. Problem solved!
