Ugh, yes, I am sick of the Blood Angels. And the Skaven. And High Elves. And any army that GW decides will be their focus for whatever particular month. TBH, if I don't play them, I probably don't want to see them, but the BA have a special place of hate in my heart at the moment as the Codex wasn't too long ago (which they hyped up and up and up) and now comes the second wave complete with their Turdraven (for me, that is it's official name, Stormraven is far too cool a name for that piece of sh*t). I'd had enough the first time, honestly. High Elves and Skaven are also guilty of this now that I think of it; Army Book not too long ago, Island of Blood and then second waves...
Obviously this is a marketing ploy, providing more troops for the army box sets that every beginner and their mother bought. Being a Dark Elf general myself, I feel that I have a duty to hate High Elves with every fibre of my being, so ... let's just say I was gritting my teeth every time I visited GW's website. On the other hand, I do beat my local High Elf player into little pieces of feminine meat every time I face him, so all's good.
But GW concentrates on MEQs faaaaaar too much. Give the Eldar some love! They need a new Codex too....
