Im a newer player still and just curious of what everyones most hated unit to see fielded against is? Ive been playing blood angels for a wile now anf from the matchis ive played so far gray knight termies are my current annoyances on the table top.

Knight Titans with tons of guns. Mostly because I really have no good answer to them.

Thunderwolf cavalry. They just look so stupid as well.

Scatbikes. Most everyone complains about these things. The simple fact that these murder machines move so fast and hit so hard but, iirc, cost 3 points less than an ork jetbike is kind of ridiculous.

Seriously, why is the ork jetbike base 30 points when the eldar jetbike is base 17? That's. Just. Stupid.

Tau with their stupid OP chikenfeet riptards and Eldar with undercosted bikes and Wraithknight

I don't hate to see Tau or Eldar across from me, [save for the Tau'unar, but nobody in my area has ever gotten one]. In fact, I'm trying to arrange some games vs Riptides and Wraithknights, so that I have a little experience against them when I go to big tournaments.

But the one unit I do hate to see is more than two Imperial or Chaos Knights. My armies - Raven Guard and Daemons - can't deal with them very well without specifically building a list to fight them. Daemon Princes stand a chance in combat against a Stormsurge or Wraithknight [and stand a good chance of taking out a Riptide entirely], while the Marines can use Grav-Guns [I don't have Centurions] against Rips/WKs.

Knights, however, are much harder to deal with. One, I can ignore, possibly take out if I get very lucky. Two, I can ignore and just try to survive while hunting objectives. But three or more is seemingly impossible.

Loth or Be'lakor. Most units in the game are manageable with the right stuff, but guaranteed Invisibility is always, always stupid.

(Honourable mention to Magnus, but that's more because he's too big and too silly than anything about his rules.)

Scatter Bikes, Grav Centurions and anything tau related.

This game needs more close combat and less technology.

Psychic spam daemons with invisibility/summoning

Invisibility/anything that forces me to fight in close combat.

Hornets and tau.

If tau didn't have the stupid linked supporting fire I would love to fight them, but now it just destroys my CQC based Ynari army and is very little fun

Space Marines, of course.

Concur on marines. Only exception is Deathwatch.

Any top tier unit really (Wulfen, Flyrant, Centurions, Whirlwind Scorpius with Keylek)

This is the enemy unit which I worry most no matter what I play (Necrons or Eldar).
Its fast and deadly. Softening up before they charge und a sacrificable unit is the way to go.

Wraithknight and Stormsurge. Shoot me, punch me, D weapon me, whatever. But I HATE stomps so much.

This tbh.

Well, loyalist anyway.

I don't particularly hate anything, but as I'll play 30k in the future and a friend of mine will use Custodes, I'm really not keen on seeing re-rollable 3++...

There's Age of Sigmar, you know?

No, obviously, rerollable 2++ (Bastiladon) and RFP-ignore-saves effects (Mortal Wound spam) are the solution to all our problems.

Thanks for the suggestion, lol.

This isn't the right place to talk about how much I hate that game and why I resent them so much for destroying fantasy.

Either way 40K is supposed to be fantasy in space. I get that there's guns, and thats fine. But the game really should be mix of close combat and shooting.

Riptides, Stormsurges, Wraithknights, Scatbikes, Warp Spiders, Fateweaver

Orks.

Not because they are really good, OP, etc. It's because they take so much time to do anything! Movement phase? Excuse me whilst I move my 100s of models. Psychic phase? Let me decide which of my god awful powers I'm going to get off with my 100 WC thanks to Power of the Waaagh. Shooting phase? You might as well go do something else whilst I take an hour to fire all these weapons. Assault phase? Let me now combine the time taken for both the movement and the shooting phase together. Then we can repeat the whole thing next turn.

At least top tier armies have the courtesy to be quick about blasting you off of the table and if they aren't well then at least you can take some satisfaction in destroying something worth while.

Bel'akor. Because that means I get to see at least one unit become untouchable a turn and given the opponent I'll have to deal with all that Geokinesis rubbish.

Any Tau. Have not enjoyed a single game against them ever.

Wraithknight would be my bane.

Anything that shoots and then moves. Seriously annoying

Most Tyranid Monstruous Creatures. They are so cool, but they are so bad. I hate to place them on the board. They are destroyed so easily by hte enemy that the Great Devourer is starting to turn anorexic.

Necron Ghost Arks. I hate the things with a passion. The shield/armor they have on top of the sheer amount of firepower they can put out is stupidly broken.

The Flying, Psychic, D train that is Magnus. He's expensive but god is he annoying.

Tau cowardice, Eldar cheese, Psker none-sense such as invisibility spam.

Spam in general such as spaming Deepstrike. I mean EVERY SINGLE THING DEEPSTRIKES.

If you run it fine, but my armies are not built for melee which is mostly what Deepstriking at all details, I had a Blood angels battle that I knew from the get-go would be boring, and over turn one.

Tau spam, boring. I know IG/Skitarii and whatnot are extra shooty too and do something similar but its the way Tau (or the tau I've fought) go about it that I find boring and irritating.

Eldar are boring due to cheese. Its just not fun to face them without forcing them to literally play badly (which I don't want to ruin other peoples fun either, kinda ruins the whole point doesn't it?)

Psker stuff... I know its mainly due to my army that I can't counter it all to well but the way Psker stuff just seems to turn normal things into absolutely the most irritating things isn't fun. Invisibility being the main one.
Heck, I've faced an Invisible Horus (it was an Apoc game) and couldn't kill him mainly because of his psyker who was hiding in a building half the map away in a building (and put there in such a manner you couldn't actually SEE HIM in the building without playing a game of "Where's the Psyker"?).

I only nearly killed him and averted the Horus Hersey because I just threw a incredibly vast amount of bullets at him and got lucky enough to get him down to 1 wound. emphasis on sheer LUCK AND VOLUME OF FIRE.

I'm sorry, but a 9-10 foot tall dude doesn't need to be invisible. he's strong as is.

Any gunline armies, jetbike armies, knight armies or generic spess mureenz. All boring as hell to me.
