Hey guys after so many races in the 40k universe , who you hate the most and give the reasons . I personally don't really like chaos space marine cause they are humans but they are really messed up

Tau. I loathe everything about this race. Nothing in it really fits in with the rest of the 40K universe. GW simply said "Let's find a way to shoehorn in some Japanese anime."

Tau, sharing a first place with Tyranids. Both are bland and boring.

I like all the armies. The one I like least are the Tau, but I still like them a lot as a whole, but I think everything in 40k is cool and has it's place.

I wish there were more xenos and less focus on humanity though.

I'd hope that 7e downplays the Imperium and Chaos just a touch to give new focus the Xenos who make up the more interesting and lamentably untouched upon aspect of 40k.

Newcrons. I liked them more before, now they just sort of feel goofy.

I don't hate any of them. I think that they all have their interesting points and add something to the setting.

I do not like Dark Angels. Their fluff doesn't feel heroic or very unique outside of their rules. Even with their wing rules, White scars do bike troops better, and GK do terminator troops better. Just a meh designed army overall.

Human race -

The imperium or chaos idk which. Both are extremely boring (though daemons can on occasion be cool or good villains) and they're honestly overplayed. I'd love to see Eldar, Necrons, dark Eldar, and Orks receive more attention storywise. But gw just seems interested in shoving Marines roflstomping everyone's factions with bolter-porn.

Tyranids. I loved dropping Toxin shells on their Carnifexes in 1.5. Then a stupid rule change went into effect and the fun was gone.

New York marathon

Tau - Everything about it clashes with 40k, from the anime style, to fluff and how Tau dominates on the actual table.

They could take Tau out and the universe would not loose a thing, but rather seem just a little more consistent.

Zing!

Hate is a strong word. But I will say that I heavily dislike the current Necron fluff. Terribly writtten gak.

Extremely dislike the Newcrons because they seem inferior in every way to the old ones. For me anyway.

my tought exactly!!

Tyranids. They are boring and their models are goofy looking.

Like said above, hate is a strong word.

Space Marines are really lame. Humans in general are pretty neat though, the distopian-gothic theme is never dull for me.

necrons because of their new fluff it just seems that they are being overhyped as some "nobody can kill us but we kill everyone" fluff where wherever they wake up everyones just screwed its stupid. at least the tyranids have swarms so its kind of like a zombie apocalypse or alien typ of deal its interesting

Humanity.


Oh, wait, you meant in the game?

Uhh... probably the Tyranids, though that is because of they way they have been written, rather than anything to do with the faction in general.

I think all the races have a place, and I definately dont "hate" any, but probably grey knights. The old GK fluff was awesome, they were the awesome protectors of humanity but they had limits. They died horrible deaths in the face of overwhelming odds, but now theyre just all deus ex machina and godmode.

Also the new necron fluff is terrible compared the old one, and the tyranid fluff has really been toned down recently, neither race is the terrifying threat it used to be.

In regards to tau, I really "hate the hate" as it were. I think tau are a great race in 40k as they occupy a unique position of showing how evil all the other races are. In any other universe, the tau would be the "evil" faction, they approach you with promise of trade but when the time comes you have to join their empire. If youre lucky you'll join peacefully, if you're unlucky maybe not. Its actually quite a sinister idea that the "good guys" of the universe are only the good guys as long as you go along with what they say, and even that is a good alternative to living in the imperium. Also the whole "omg shoehorning anime" not really, they have mech suits, woop-de-do. They have smooth techy-but-practical aesthetic which presents a very alien feel compared to the human armies. (something the necrons and orks do not have) But look different enough to the eldar to be distinguishable as a seperate alien race. Alot of people hate on tau just because its the cool thing to do. I imagine if tau had been there since RT or 2nd Ed, and Necrons or eldar had been the new race, people would be hating on the "shoehorned metal egyptians" or "shoehorned elves"

I hate half-elfs and half-orcs. Dirty half-breeds.

In 40K I strongly dislike Imperial Knights. Super-heavies have no place in non-Apocalypse games.

Tau. They are difficult to really convert and make unique. people have done it but it is extremely difficult. Also their background...

We just had this exact thread, "I'm a racist...against Orks" or something like that.

I hate... this race:

Orks, don't find e'm funny, don't like the looting aspect don't like their accents don't like anything about them.

The title of this thread is hilarious when taken out of context.

There's no one faction that I particularly dislike, I think they all brings interesting things to the lore. Squats were stupid but they're gone now.

Daemons are goofy. They'd be alot scarier if they were part of the background and never depicted in models or images...or maybe if they were something that were actually summoned by CSM, that would be cool, but not as a 40k army.

But I don't hate them or anything.

Did they seriously make a T'au symbol out of the boob window?
