So now I hate the Imperium and all that it stands for. The entire imperium is despicable. The emperor was an evil warlord and deserves to die, along with his evil empire. If mankind stooped to that low of a moral code they don't deserve to exist.

I beg to differ. Survival or obliteration will be the standards by which history will judge Mankind. No one prosecutes victors. Whether it's 40k or the real world, 'true justice' does not exist. What is just for some is unjust for others. The simple truth is that the winners are just while the losers get nothing at all. The strong rule while the weak and powerless submit or die. That is the highest, most absolute law of the universe: survival of the fittest. If the Imperium didn't do what it needs to, then it and Mankind would have been destroyed long ago.

Actually, the species which can best adapt to it's environment survives, not the strongest. Hence why small mammals survived when the Dinosaurs died. Humanity in the 40k universe is doomed whilst it remains static, not advancing or adapting. Unless it opens itself to new ideas and new technologies it will fall.

The races which are going to be best prepared for survival are the Tau, Tyranids and Orks. All of these races are either already adapted to survival way beyond what humanity could ever hope to be (Orks) or still adapting, be it physically (Tyranids) or technologically (Tau).

Orks will survive no matter what, and the Tyranids probably as well. Tau? Too naive; unless they grow out of their belief everyone can coexist they're heading for a Lovecraftian dead-end, given 40k's setting.

Orks

NNot a fan of Necrons unkillableness either.

What's wrong with Baharroth apart from that he's one of the most horribly overcosted things in the game?

GW prices. :(

I mean, I respect their work and all but I'm poor!

Oh, and Necrons. I just don't like them! Call me racist... if killer robot counts as a race.

Dislike: Magan Rah (sp?)
Hate: Eldrad Ulthran

Actually... these two are kinda interchangeable.

Who do I hate?

Hmmm....

Vulkan He'stan.

He is the only SC that has rustled my jimmies on more than one occasion other than my friend's Necron Lord before the new codex came out.

The Ecclesiarchy because they are religious donkey-caves

The Adeptus Mechanicus because they are religious donkey-caves that tries to hoard all the technology instead of using it to improve the lives of the people.

Edit: Nice profanity filter Dakka

When reading his fluff I felt like I'm about to puke a rainbow.

Space Vikings.

Need I say more?

I don't mind that, but their attitude needs fixing.

I'm actually quite curious about this.

What part of their attitude do you think needs fixing?

They would actually be a lot more interesting if they were more like actual Vikings in space. I enjoy reading Icelandic sagas, and the character and flavor of those stories would make the Space Wolves so much more interesting than their current "we read a book about vikings in 5^th grade" nonsense. A Space viking like Skarp-Hedin? Awesome. Egil Skallagrimsson? Beowulf? All of these characters are so much more complex than anything related to the Space Wolves.

Grey Hunters, more USR's than normal SM but lower points?!?!? WTF.

Ok I will jump on the Space Wolf hate band wagon, I have played Black Legion since 2nd edition and faced these Space Vikings almost every week end to no end. Well I got good news for all you Space Wolf haters out there. My second army is a Grot Rebellion, I teamed up with my partner a Tyrannid player vs. Space Wolfs and Blood Claws. We tabled them in turn 3 vie a Grot Tank Shock and they gave up the field. There was a stipulation if the Space Marines lost this battle, If they lost both Chapter Masters would surrender to the Grot Army to be displayed on my Battle Wagon. The players shamefully agread to this and handed over there painted Chapter Master figures to be displayed as trophy's on my personal HQ Battle Wagon. How humiliating is that pics will be sure to follow (Blood Claws are a splinter group from the Blood Angels) I am so happy from that battle and my Grot Army resived no casulties in the battle Lord Grotmungus is so proud of this embarassing Imperial Defeat. Sorry just proud is all

Necrons.... Hate.

I hate the Emperor. For a genius godking, he sure made a lot of stupid mistakes. Leaving halfway through his crusade definitely would not be good for moral, and he should have known that. Trying to quash all religion was also probably a poor choice, regardless of how misguided they may have been. He should have instead harnessed their belief as the current imperium does and used it to inspire his troops. It seems like he's got a lot of hype going on considering what a doofus he was.

I dislike the space marines in general. I find them to be bland poster-boys. There are some cool things about them sure, but any time someone's whole concept is "they're like everyone else, but better" it kinda turns me off. At least with chaos their kinda flawed, in more ways than just being kinda an arrogant and self-righteous jerk.

Matt ward, Grey knights, blood angels, dark anglels, black templars, IG, SM, tau, eldar, dark eldar, nids, crons, battle sisters, the imperium and orks. did i say matt ward?

I think we've got a troll here.

I have a general mild antipathy towards the human factions in general unless they prove that they're worth bothering about, mainly because they as a whole are massively overexposed to the point where I have a hard time not getting bored about reading Imperium vs insert anyone faction here, especially Imperials vs Chaos, which has been done to death so many times I find it really hard to breathe any new interest into that match up.

TL;DR I dislike humans.

In the game : The iconic 40k chainsword is a generic close combat weapon.

The story: IG commanders are often portrayed as incompatent or uncareing.

Well, to be fair, uncaring fits quite well in many cases given the setting, even in game, a good IG commander will be ruthless. I've gladly intentionally lost combats and removed sergeants to reduce Ld and return attacks to help ensure that I lost so that I could resume shooting at opponents, even at the cost of 3 or 4 units of infantry, or tossing command squads up to melta enemy tanks with the certain knowledge that they're going do die after doing so. When an opponent sweeps through a big grip of units, I'll think "It's cute you think they were important" because in doing so I'll usually have traded 100-200pts worth of units for something twice as valuable to my opponent.

Incompetent is another thing though, for some reason many authors equate uncaring/noticeable casualties with incompetent. A lot of the time anything that isn't a Space Marine can't have any reasonable command ability.

Dislike:
The Emperor and most of the Primarchs.

Hate:
Matt Ward.
Bronies.

Even in 2nd edition Space Wolves were "marines +1" and were basically an exercise in fanwankery by Andy Chambers. That probably wasn't enough to truly hate them, though. The real hate probably came from their recent characterizations in novels.

Bronies.

But...But.

My,My little pony sphess marine army even has legit fluff how Rainbow Dash led the Crimson Fists to victory against the Orks.

Ahh, the Ecclesiarchy. I'd forgotten about them in my current focus on Space Puppies instead of my usual Sisters of Battle. I like the idea of a holy warrior, at least aesthetically, but I don't like the whole, "INNOCENCE PROVES NOTHING," thing and how they kill off anyone even associated with heresy. In one of the books, a force of Sisters of Battle were killing off Guardsmen on some planet whose commander had rebelled, and knew that most of them were innocent and only following orders, but they didn't care enough to find out who was only following orders and who was actually treasonous, and just killed them ALL.

Speaking of bronies, it seems everyone in this thread that flies the Pony banner also has some allegiance to Slaanesh. Like draws like, I suppose, the "like" in this case being "abhorent sexual deviancy".

Seekers kinda look like horses.

I was always a CSM/Dark Eldar kinda guy though.

I have an allegiance to Dark Angels, Slaanesh (But until it's competitive again..), and Sisters of Battle

So does that mean your allegiance to Tzeentch means you're just trying to stir some gak?

Change!

I don't hate game stuff.
I save that for people I know (I can't hate someone I don't know because I don't know them well enough to know whether it's just dislike).

I dislike Draigo's fluff (and model - but the model is why I won't use the character - the fluff just guarantees I won't use it).
Blood Angels for the blood god.
Space Wolves of wolfy wolfdom
Chaos (so eeeeeeevil for the sake of it and skulls and spikes just because).
Orks (football hooligans. I need no other reason to despise them).
Necrons. Boring metal robots that want to kill everything. Even with the update.
Space marine fluff. The crusading space knight crap. I preferred them as his Holy Emperor's fascist bully boys and facekickers.

For me, in gameplay I'd have to hate Grey Knights most of all. Their Dreadknight's flamer is just too overpowered and unfair (yeah, how are you supposed to be safe if the weapon is fired 12" away from the model???) along with their physic powers for their dreadnoughts. Make a leadership test and ignore a shaken or stunned result? Bull____! And another thing, their army allowing them to bring terminators as troops and elites WHILE their main hero is a terminator armor wearing CC God is in that group with all their shenanigans with wound allocations? I just hate them most of all with a Orkish passion. Other ones I'd have to hate is Tyranids; almost everyone at the hobby store I play at uses them and its all the same list almost: Swarmlord/Hive Tyrant, Genestealers and Trygon, with the exception of people sometimes bringing in Zoanthropes and Warriors.

Now that I think about it, I just have a hatred of players who never be creative in their army lists and just search for army lists online that have won tournaments and copy them because they want to win.
