As we all know, the real enemy of the Orks, those who despise them the most.... are, of course, all of the other Orks. It's all one big gala party in Orktown guys, and most of the fun happens when the first punch gets thrown.

I was never much a fan of tyranids- I like how they play on the table, and I think that individually their models are pretty impressive, but why does EVERY tyranid, from lowly termagants to mighty hive tyrants, have the same exact snarling dinosaur face? Their whole schtick is mutability and evolution guided by a perversely logical intelligence, but they all look like smaller or bigger versions of a pissed off Alien.

I remember the first time I saw a hive crone, the owner hadn't yet attached the head- so I thought I was seeing a complete model that looked unlike anything I'd ever seen before, and it was pretty sweet. But owp, guess not: he just hadn't yet put on the snarling dinosaur head.

They say that going against the grain is sometimes a new experience and can heighten one's enjoyment.

That... is so many things.

The reason is to suggest common ancestry.

All Tyranid species are believed to be modifications of a single base genus. Thus, all Tyranids share common traits. A mixture of leather-like skin and segmented chitin, a short, powerful face, hooves if they're legged, eight limbs (with two being vestigal like our tails on any non-fliers), eyes with no apparent pupils, and a tail.

Even feeder tendril tyranids (Lictors, Ymgarl genestealers) share the same overall head structure, just with fleshy bits stuck on.

I do think that GW should have made feeder tendrils an option on all tyranids; if only so that all of them could share in the glory of a Cthulhu head and get something out of it. And also so that they can all eat your brains.

I dont hate any army,
I play orks and i deeply love them, but my favourite are still dark eldar.
Space Marines and Imperial Guard irk me sometime but I can still appreciate them
Things like the Imperial Knights and Adeptus Milistratum seem silly to me but I can appreciate why some people would enjoy them.
At the end of the day, we all have different opinions on things and what some of you may hate, to others, it might be the only thing that keeps them in 40k, so i dont really see why we need a whole thread on why we hate things that dont deserve to be hated, the races of 40k are so diverse that of course there will be some you love, and others you dont, but that doesnt mean you should post hate on them on a forum, you should just accept them and look forward to the next time you get to face them on the tabletop and (hopefully) send them running!

Is that not what every hooligan do ? I would rather blame it on soccer and soccer hooligans than on British people.

Because they aren't football hooligans . Euro was a one off even and they have been acting the same way every week for the last 6 years . Those are always different people and they act the same when visiting other cities and because police picks up the stuff they leave around , I know that they aren't just unemployed people , but offten people with well paid jobs . They just have no culture and don't know how to behave in public.

British hooligans however; are definitely living up to their reputation.
Contrary to this horrible reputation however, I find the British to be very friendly and polite when in their own country.

Let me check the last few months . People from my country had stones thrown at their homes , because they are catholics and they seem either not to care or be unable to see the difference . My aunts daughter was beaten and had her cloths cut , because she didn't knew some song and didn't want to kiss the british flag and Police reaction to this , was that she proveked them , she was 15 stoped by 17+ man, by steping on the flag. And the steping happned because one pushed her on the flag and she lost her footing and the one holding the flag droped it .
I had been to many countries, Germany , Norway , Italy . Lived there for 3-4 months , but we were never treated like we are in UK.

Sorry to hear this. I agree that in the UK, up north especially, I see lots of racism against Poles which upsets me, as I am half Polak, I've seen my dad randomly arrested merely for being foreigh, and there's still a certain thread of prejudice in the middle classes here - half of them mock Polish builders, half of them want to hire them.

My shame at the British half of me is only equalled by my shame when I see drunken Polish builders shouting at women on the tube, acting like yobs on the train, or their increasing gang-like behaviour on building sites where they are now known to intimidate Brits and only hire Poles.

In short: yobbery is certainly not the province of a single nation, and we should apologise for our own, before we condemn others.

As for Orks... better to lose with a gloriously ramshackle green army than to win with a boring marine army.

Orks, there crazy to fight, not many others give you so much stuff to shoot at, unique converted trucks, tanks and battlewagon's or boards of green blobs of infriantry.

+ ork players, some have beuterfuly crafted armies of custom and unique veichals, tanks and such.

Eldar. We are a super advanced space race we could feth up everything but we are too busy rubbing our gems

And black Templars. So cool they had their codex revoked!

I dislike how it seems that tau are now the most populous race in the universe (as determined by the number of players playing them).

Also, whilst I like the imperial knight models, their strategy of going to battle with no infantry or supporting units is mind bogglingly stupid. Their codex needs fleshing out, at the moment they are one dimensional.

Not really hate, but i find most Space Marines boring. So many version of....humans. Guards would also feel boring if it wasn't for the massive flashlight joke. =P

The xenos, i like. Tyranids being my most favorite and Orks. And i'm interested in Eldars. SoB are the humans i like the most....because girls in armor. =D

Space Wolves. Just stupid, turned up to 11. I'm either apathetic or cool with literally every other book, but Wolves? Nope. No mercy.

If having a bias for women is misandry, half the guys are guilty.

GUILTY

Get the pitchforks, people!

As far as play style goes, I don't like static armies like IG or Tau. Yeah, I get the appeal of wanting a shooting army, but I prefer playing fast and loose which is why I like Orks and Daemons so much. I'm even getting bored with my Space Wolves since they're mainly shooting based.

Maybe check the tyranids. They are fast and everything is assault so you can always move. =D

Nah, if I do another horde army, it's going to be Skaven in WHFB.

Space wolves....

I mean, I got wolf in my name, and in my image, wolves are my favorite animal, I fething LOVE wolves.

But the space wolves are just TOO DAMN FAR at it, I could not take them seriously enough to choose them when I chose my army.

Wolf Lord Vulf Volksson of the Space Wolves thinks you are not wolf enough to join the wolfpacks of the Wolves of Fenris. WOLFWOLFWOLFWOLFWOLFWOLF!

I long back to the times when the Space Wolves were simply badass Spehss Vikings without all the wolf names.

I despise Space Wolves and everywolf they are/wolf for.

Interesting read!

For me i hate Space Marines. Everyone around here plays them, and it seems like i'm playing the same army every single god damn time.
Marines in Rhino. Check.
Aegis Defence Line with Quad Gun. Check.
urgh.


To further annoy me, i would like to build a SM army. Filled with thunderclaw terminators, jump infantry and other models i like. But i just feel it's pointless as my next opponent will be, SM. Funnily enough, the models i like i don't tend to see...


Space Marines also suck all the time out of 40k designers, writers etc. because there's so many of the same power armour armies, but with slight differences in them. I am craving for a new race, there's room. Look at how many fantasy has!


Iron Hands, Iron Fists, Iron Shoulders, Iron Feet.
Dark Angels, Blood Angels, Blue Angels, Angel Delight.




Least Space Wolves have the decency to go riding on wolves rather than bikes, unlike everyone else.
Grey Knights, have some unique units, like the Dreadknight.


I can handle Tau gunline as long as it's not a copy and paste list. Their fluff sounds good enough to me, the Kroots are cool, but the Toys'R'us suits are just lame.
Necrons. Robots. Nuff said.
Orks. They're Orks. Nuff said.
Eldar. Space Elves. Good enough with some cool, if not overpowered models.
Dark Eldar. I'll give them some room here, but so far all i've seen has been armies sprayed black. They're headed to the hate list soon.
Imperial Guard. Dudes with tanks, that aren't in power armour. Sound fine.
Chaos be Chaos. Power Armour + some originality. All good.
Daemons. They go the extra mile for some randomness.
Tyranids. <3. Cool army, bad bad bad, terrible, god awful, diabolical, dreadful, atrocious, ghastly, moronic, retardly, astronomically dumb writers.

Nids..... Space cockroaches. Stomp them to paste. And daemons just ugly personalitys, always trying to get my sweets.

I'm a bit biased against Tau but that stems from an interesting incident involving three RipTides and a couple squads of marker light Pathfinders... Besides its fun to be able to say "Greater Good this!" when opening fire on the little blue buggers with plasma and lascannons

10% of them or so play for the other team.

I hate Tau for their looks, their suits just got great but I'm about their heads, bunch of characterless fish guys. Kroot also have something warcraftish in their design, also Tau in general have too nice fluff. They look great on the table tough.

What doesn't look great on the table are Eldar though. I would remove them from 40k in a heartbeat, it's just space elves and silly, Orks at least are a bombastic joke but I see no excuse for Eldar. The only good looking miniatures there are wraithlords, wraithguard and a new flyer. Vehicles look bad, especialy jetbikes and tanks not to mention characterless infantry. Also no grimdark in the fluff just standard elves.

That, and saddly a lot of guys view women as inferior, slaves or objects.

My least favourite race?

Sisters of Battle. Boob Plate and next to no models/rules. And such a concept too.
