Blood Angels. I hate the rules, I hate the fluff, and I sure as hell hate the filthy bandwagon jumpers who play them. Don't get me wrong, the people who started Blood Angels before the newest codex are fine by me.

Sisters- The model Line is bad and i'm not a fan of the overall "feel" of the army. It just doesn't feel right.

I won't play Imperial Guard. Not sci-fi enough fo me. Although as an Ork player I will be looting many of their tanks, IG have some great looking vehicles.

Personally I like the Sisters, but I won't consider Sisters until they have plastic models.

I love to hate nids. The model range is bad, the rules are almost overpowered, and the fluff i just hate. no offense to tyranid players, but did they have to introduce dinosaurs to 40K? This is what i think of... http://tinyurl.com/253thvf. And i have to agree with Ugavine, IG as well aren't really sci-fi as you think they would be, nothing's really changed.

And Space Marines... bolt pistols? You see soldiers on the battlefields today with something at least as deadly as a machine gun or a rifle. Bear in mind these are supposed to be the emperor's elite defense. hmm... GW might need to rethink a bit. Again, no offense to anybody, i'm not criticizing the players of these armies.

I'm going to say Tau because the Crisis suits look like some crazy top-heavy robot chicken.

The troops are cool, the vehicles are cool, I quite like the Kroot too to be honest, it's just those damn Crisis suits that make whole force look daft.

Same here. I'm still waiting to get back into the game, seven years after GW's failure to release plastic Sisters for the 3rd edition release.

A link to a redirect... to a redirect... to a Google search? You officially suck at linking.

Are you trying to say somehow that a bolt pistol is inferior to today's armaments?

Rethink that real quick.

Your heaviest small arms built today fire .50 caliber FMJ rounds.

Bolt pistols (the Space Marine's lightest small arm) fire .75 caliber high-explosive armor-piercing rounds. 50% bigger, 100% better at penetrating armor, and they explode.

...how does that even begin to be inferior?

Err, what? You realize that Marines have both bolters and bolt pistols, right? And you realize that Bolters are basically rapid fire rocket propelled grenade launchers with .75 caliber HEAP rounds, right? And that's only the basic trooper?

Marines are not lightly armed.

I love the Chaos Daemons and maybe one day I'll pick up a distraction army or perhaps my focus while wander, but I very much doubt I'd every be interested enough in an army to overcome the repulsion I harbour to playing as an army which has Horde/Swarm as a "core mechanic".
