That is absolutely ridiculous
I know, but it is also a fact. Ultras are a growing thingy, and that's not pleasant.
Every right winged fc supporter in Croatia is called ultras, and I will add something which sickens me every time I see ornamented "U"...
Well I'm old enough to separate things like fiction and real life, but still Beaviz81 has a point, and icongraphy just bugs your eyes...

ADB: I showed the Wolves revealing the key weakness at the heart of the World Eaters; showing Angron that his Legion was broken and worthless compared to the others; that he was the one primarch who couldn't trust his own warriors, and that they didn't care if he lived or died; showing that loyalty to brothers and sons is the heart of success for the Legiones Astartes, to the point even Lorgar makes a big deal out of saying the World Eaters and their primarch were massively outclassed by Russ, and Angron was too stupid to see the lesson Russ had sacrificed time, sweat, and blood, to teach. We're talking about a battle the Wolves won, by isolating the enemy general through pack tactics, and threatening to kill him, without a hope of defending himself. It was a balance, 50/50 - Angron overpowered Russ, and the Wolves were losing ground to the World Eaters; but Russ and his warriors had Angron by the balls, and barely broke a sweat. They won, no question. Lorgar even says: "The Wolves won, meathead."
Dorn won’t help you either. He’s too busy being the Emperor’s groundskeeper, hiding behind the palace walls. The Wolf is too busy cutting off heads as our father’s executioner, while the Lion holds on to his secrets, and has no special fondness for you. Who else will come? Not Ferrus, certainly. Nor Corax either. Even as we speak, I suspect he flees for Deliverance. Sanguinius?’ Curze laughed cruelly. ‘The angel is more cursed than I. The Khan? He does not wish to be found. So who is left?

-fulgrim killing avatar in hh novel
-an entire eldar force including a wraithlord is destroyed by fulgrim and a handful of marines.
-the entire book battle of the abyss
-the entire book nemesis
These make me laugh in a very bad way.
But orks are always great fun. They are funny in an awesome way.
Another personal dislike of mine is the use of bikes in space marines. I can see jetbikes being useful but Its funny to me that superhuman godlike warriors zoom around on battlefields on bikes.

Oh I was refering to how the hell do you get a Space Marine inside a tank period, be it Predator, Rhino, Landraider. They don't fit through the hatches. And with that I mean the crew.  I know what they have done, they build the Tank around the crew.

As they would likely be tech-marines-a-like, they would probably find that awesome anyways!

I like it when other races use Ork words. Specially when in audio format. It is funny when an ork says it but when its like a serf reading a message to a SM captain or something its pretty silly. Serf: "My Lord, the Ork WAAAAAGH has reached the outskirts of our system. It has been reported that they are being lead by Boss Gutspunch Gonadcrush and are equipped with many lifta droppa's, fighta bombas ETC."
you get the point. funny. Even better when it is said aloud in DoW.

Compared to some other hobbies ( everything sports related, where people tend to treat the victories and defeats of their prefered group of milionares as almost life threatening issues of great importance ) , i would say that wargamers are amongst the least serious ones.
