I could imagine that if someone had a Whitescars army , he would want to sell it , before the new codex arrives.

We got depressed by 5th. But all we need was to add wings to the tyrant, one tervigon - and we bought 18 gargoyles, which we fancied anyway. Poor old stealers went back in the box of course. Only one real new purchase and it's an army that quite a few people reckon is brutal.

So we say the glass is half full.

I honestly felt like the hive mind was just talking to me and I felt bad for abandoning my first army.

Then I realized I have an undead vampire custom IG army. So sorry nids, while I will not be selling you, you must sit and wait for me to get board with killing things from across the table.

Maybe i just don't get this game then haveing ever army was bad. Now selling bad armys and units bad. what the heck does a need to do to just have a good army . ever army i build ends up being built wrong . i just trying to have a good army so people stop tilling me I'm building bad armys

Vehicles are bad but then told ther not what one is it are they good our bad. Flyers are the only vehicle worth taking from what i read on line

I play BA and they are supposedly a "bad" army right now but I would NEVER think of selling them. I have put tons of time and effort into building and painting them. Not to mention they will be "good" again at some point. Also if you try to buy every new power build when it comes out, by the time you build and paint it, there will be something better to get, and then you will have to go get it. Just buy what you like and enjoy it.

How about you just play the army you want to play with the units you want to play and not let people tell you you're doing things wrong?

I have a couple of armies which I like because of the fluff and what they look like. I have other because they are competitive like my tyranids.

You will almost never make back what you spend on an army. Better to put it on a site like Bartertown and try and break even in trades.

Why would you keep a army that is bad i never seen a ba army and probably won't till assualt comes back same with assualty orks there dead now you just have shoot boyz abd lootas and nob bikers

Because for some people, infact the majority having a competative army is less fun than one you want. I keep my Dark Eldar army because they are awesome. The models are super cool and I've done quite a few conversions to make them my own. I see no reason to get rid of them becaus ether arnt currently a top tier army...

Play what you want. I play Sisters of Battle because I like them. If you like ____, then play them, get better with then and learn to win. Stop crying.

This is what i want my sm army to be but its a crapy army and will never really do good

I liked my ig butt it was a bad army. i was told a lot that the only why to run ig is vets and vendattas i don't care for flyers our vets butt if that the only why to have good ig then i rather not play them. allso tanks are not good in 6ed and nother are droppods. Any vehicle is really no longer good because of hp only good tanks are av14 so I'm getting 5landriders

You speel like a ork.

Flyers are not "Kings of the game". Read Ailaros' recent battle report where he plays a footslogging berzerker horde - an army you and many would call junk - against a three heldrake list and not only wins but wins without firing a single shot at the drakes.

You can easily take advantage of a flyer's mobility issues and limit the damage they can do.

In the above list, I'd have swapped out scout bikers and the command squad for something else.

For the love of all that is sane.

Its but not butt

Unless you actually like imperial guard butt.

*sigh*

Maybe people don't sell armies that are "bad" because they'd like to have something to show for the large amount of money they spent on said "bad" armies, and/or they enjoy playing them regardless. Just because my marines don't have much success against my regular foes doesn't mean I now am obligated to pawn them off to fund a competitive cheese-fest army. Heck, I started CSM and am going with Thousand Sons because they are awesome, albiet not totally (according to the internet wisdom that you seem to go off of) efficient. I know what I'm getting into and play the game for the fun of a challenge, not to crush everything with the most gimmicky or spamy army/list. Based on what else of yours I've read, I can tell that this isn't why you play, and that is entirely up to you and ok. Just don't complain to the internet when you don't get satisfaction from it and get confused why people don't take you seriously.

You would need stupid amounts of money to get every army. One is expensive enough as is. I'm thinking your confusion stems from having far more disposable income than the vast majority of the people disagreeing with you, as you can seemingly afford to buy and sell armies at a whim. I know that I at least could not, and couldn't bring myself to sell what I've poured dozens upon dozens of hours into, as well. So, to sum up my view on this, I think it was hasty to sell both armies (especially as one is being updated in less than a month), and foolish to get into an expensive game thinking that it would be easy to steamroll everything then get exceedingly frustrated (based on other posts) when you fail in this.

Don't feed the troll, yada yada, but I felt the need to voice this after reading too many similar threads. No disrespect or insult intended, but if you wish to enjoy 40k, perhaps you should approach it differently.

View it different how i just like to have a good army for once. One that stands a chance and people will want to play me. i have many people not want to play me because my army wouldn't stand a chance . i have been truned away from trounys because my list was to bad

Hmmm...every army you've tried sucks. Have you tried to change the one factor that is common to all of them?

Could probably make a tidy profit selling it to the OP.

Again guys, http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/546841.page and the current thread are just the sort of things this user creates, he never listens to the other posters and just complains and complains. And he never improves his efforts at typing. Just let it die.

If your list was bad, that's not the armies fault (especially if it was IG, which is not a bad army, though certainly possible to build a bad list from). Neither SM nor IG have ever been "bad armies", because both of these armies offer rather a lot in the way of options and builds that can be tailored to fit a particular narrative and meta, whether you go foot-slogging, armored fist, artillery, assault, whatever.

Now I'm convinced you're trolling. No one get's turned away from a tournament for a bad list. No one refuses to play a bad list.

Well he could of had a bad "illegal list" probably full of spelling mistakes that no TO could read

agreed that's a blatant lie. I've never in my life witnessed any TO turn a list away because its too weak.

They probably just couldn't read his list.
"I'm not sure what 'SpasmAran' is. Never heard of it so I can't allow it."

I had a ig foot list at 1500pt. i was told that with all the flyers in trouny and i would have to face 2hellytrucky armies and a ig flyers spam

Quoted for truth.

Edit: You could have just bought an Aegis Defence Line.

I had one but i guess its no good i need flyers in my armies and i don't like flyers

So your saying that they didn't allow you in the tournament because the opponents were taking flyers. Yeah I'm calling BS on that.

Then use allies. If you're unwilling to adapt then this thread is meaningless.
