Always getting suspicious looks and having to be the butt of all jokes for playing with eldar. Especially annoying since I played grey knights in 5th and a some tau in 6th so now I've got a reputation for playing the best armies when all I want is cool tanks.

My armies:
vior'la sept 12k
Erik Morkai's great company 6k
dark mechanicus, the dearth of hope, 8k
rothwyr morwan's company 1,5k
Adeptus custodes 2k
AoS, The forgotten order, SE, 3k |

Dark Eldar. Worst thing about playing them? Injuring myself on my own freaking guys! Seriously, I've spilled more blood since I picked this army up in November of last year than in the previous ten years of 40k combined!

Do you at least use the blood to make realistic blood effects on the army's blades?

Vostroyan Firstborn: They are all metal, AND hyper detailed (not that Mordian's aren't, but by comparison Vostroyans have Mordian's smoked on the fiddly details).
In addition: Most annoying part of it to me is painting the damned treads on tanks. I play I.G. There are a bucketload of tanks in my army. I have painted six tanks already and feel like I spend 85% of the time painting the tank painting the treads. I know it's all in my head, but it still annoys the  out of me.
Other than that, it's touching up chipped models. I know, I asked for it when I chose an all metal army, but no matter what I do, matte varnish spray, paint on spray, the models fall over and get little dings and chips. Every six months or so I take out every infantry mini in the army and check them for chips to touch them up. For an I.G. army with 70+ minis, this can take a while.
Those are my additions.
Take it easy for now everyone.

Thread won. seriously.
Anyway, worst thing about my army, the farsight enclaves, is that they didn't exist when I started, so I got myself regular infantry dudes at the time, but now I wish I just had more suits instead (limited budget means I cant just "buy more")

Necron: Being told my army is OP whenever an opponent loses because of his bad tactics.
Even when I play bad lists..
Second one would be buying 2nd hand models, spraying them all metallic and then having to paint all the bases black! Soooo frustrating

CSM: being overrun and wiped out by my friend's Tyranids (Nidzilla with just enough Termagants to flood the Objectives). No matter how do I change the upgrades and list composition, what tactics and feints I try, 80% of time he wins and has nearly tabled me several times already. I suppose that's what I get for not playing Full MoN + 3 Heldrakes.
