Anything Chaos, for obvious reasons.

So much hate in this thread.

If you hate Orks, then you hate freedom. Why do you hate Freedom? Are you a commie?

Nice banner

Space marines because they are the kiddie army and 9/10 people play them.

Feth space marines

SW, Eldar, and GK. All their units can burn, afaik.

I hate the Tau because of their recent fluff. Tau were never about the strength of one over the strength of many but that all changed when they brought in the Riptide.

I'm also kind of against the IoM but thats all GW's fault. They give them new weapons (Grav Guns) but didn't continue the storyline at all. When did they design these new weapons? What was everyone else doing while they made these new weapons? Sitting on their thumbs?

They are actually old weapons I thought.

I don't really dislike any faction from a fluff standpoint, but the Tau are the least fun army to play against.

Chaos Demons. Why are they even a separate force?

Never! I'll never give this topic more posts!

Wait, hold on.

I might have to rethink this.

I hate Eldar partially because a lot of the Eldar players I've met are like that, too.

At my FLGS, the TFG is an Eldar player who loves to gloat about how brokenly op the codex is. Also his dice are often called into question as he rolls the same few dice for moral checks and a different set for shooting. He rolls a lot of 1s and 2s for moral and a lot of 6s for shooting. I guess he is forging the narrative with his dice having fortune and guide.

Orks.

As for hating IG for being a gunline, but playing the Tau who are another gunline, that's just being hypocritical.

Any army that ignores core rules in the rule set.

So for me thats:
Tau: Ignore Cover
Necrons: Ignore removing models
IoM: Ignoring staying within points limit because free transports/weapons are great.
IG: Ignore movement phase

Psychic phase I can live without, that's just an abhorrent mess of rules.

Not all Tau gunlines. Ninja Tau is great to play against.

I don't hate any faction. I feel they all bring something unique and important to the table. Even Tau, for all the flak they get.

However, my vote for "Most obnoxious to play against" goes to a Decurion Necron player that doesn't roll anything less than a 4. They just won't die!

That is one of the classic signs of a cheater.

The next time you play them, if they continue with their mysterious dice-rolling ways, ask to swap dice with them. If they aren't cheating, and only truly blessed by the dice gods, it won't matter what dice they roll.

Orks, not because of the army on the table, and not really because of the fluff, but because I can not stand the way ork players speak when they play, I couldn't care less if that's the way everything is spelled and supposed to be pronounced. It makes me want to beat them with a dictionary.
Also anything that spams D weapons, so currently Eldar but I have a feeling that list will grow when the Tau book comes out.

For me, it has to be Space Wolves. I dislike Necrons for being this undefeatable better than you faction in the lore and Tyranids because Organic technology is dumb. However, I forgive a lot of that on the basis that they have nice models. Especially Necrons.

Space Wolves has both bad fluff and subpar models. They're like a 13 year old's fanfiction made canon.

"Yeah, we're like, the bestest Space Marines ever. We tell the Inquisition and Eclessiarchy to go feth themselves, we wipe our asses with the Codex Astartes and we like to paaaaartttaaaay! We're these savage vikings but like we're total cool, calculation tacticians too! And we totes ride into battle on Wolves! And we have our own special weapons! And our Pyskers aren't Psykers cause they draw power from our awesome ice world with totally badass people!".

The Wolf and Viking theme is done to death, resurrected and done to death again. You can run a Wolf Lord with Wolf Claws riding a Wolf joined by a group of Thunderwolf Calvary. As for their models, like I said, the Viking theme is overdone. To quote another poster, they are not Viking themed Space Marines. They are Space Marine themed Vikings. Let's not even get into the idiocy that is Santa Grimnar. Some people may find the Wolf helmets, braids and Viking runes cool. I think they're tacky.

This thread is the real world embodiment of wh40k, everyone loves there own faction, as they should, and can tolerate certain other factions and hates the other other factions.
This is like if the allies table got thrown in a warp storm

I really dislike tau. Enjoy every other faction except tau, and the way they were introduced was a slap to many armies at the time.

I hate GK so much so that if they are my allies I will barrage them, impede them, disrupt them, and kill them in anyway possible on the table.

My main army is IG, ever since I read that crappy fluff about GK turn against their allies after an engagement due to possible future taint. Yet they are psykers themselves, bunch of hypocrites.

note to self: never play doubles with this player

They execute or mind-wipe former allies because the GK are an ultra-top-secret aspect of the Imperium. Even most of the Inquisition doesn't know they exist, even members of the Ordo Malleus (for whom the GK are the Chamber Militant). It's not (always) because of the risk of future taint, it's because two men can keep a secret if one is dead (or has his memory erased).

I really dislike Eldar. They have few weaknesses and no bad units, just units not as good as others, but still good.

Necrons went a little overboard with the Egyptian theme. It looks a little dumb now. Also, their Reanimation Protocols need to be nerfed a bit. The ability to come back to life 50% of the time is way too much. Nothing ruins the game for a Necron's opponent than feeling like you never accomplish anything in a turn.

Tau are Gundam ripoffs. Also, there is no reason their stuff should be MCs. They are walkers. They have pilots.

Otherwise, most of the armies I don't mind.

I hate the Squats for being too cool for 40k.

The factions I hate most is the necrons. They are the biggest Mary Sue faction in the game. Runner up is Eldar, as their codexes so very often seem to be broken.

Necrons worst fluff, Eldar worst rules.

Knights'd be fine if they were relegated to Apoc.

I get where you're coming from with this, and I understand your reasoning. I have also seen many people try and cheat using these methods. As for me, I'm just genuinely superstitious about dice. Nothing else, just dice. And I'm not just talking about "this one has rolled badly 3 or 4 times so it goes back in the box for now."

As such, at the beginning of any game, I WILL split my dice into piles and designate certain piles for certain rolls. Now, if I require more dice or whatever I will just grab anything and everything, but I will try and separate them off again afterwards.

I will happily switch which dice I will be using for which task, or even use your dice...If you ask me at the beginning of a game. But if asked mid-game it really will throw me off balance and I'll lose what I was thinking about the next few turns. I know it's ridiculous and makes no sense, but it really would bother me. Once a die has been designated as an LD test die, that is what I like it's main use to be in game. Only just getting back into 40k, but I've been back into wargaming for over a year now and it's been the same in plenty of other games. These are for these kinda checks, this is for this job. In some games I have even gone so far on occasion to set aside specific dice for specific characters/models.

As an Ork player I personally LIKE Space Marines, IG (only 1 game against them though, DE, Tau, Nids and pretty much every other army out their, with the exception of Eldar. I have met TFG eldar player and I also think that the best player I have ever played against as far as knowledge, rules, and gamesmanship was an Eldar player. It has more to do with the way each codex they come out with is broken and makes players not want to face them. Every army is good at one thing, ok at another thing and garbage at something. Eldar are either great at everything or well above average at everything. They kind of took the role of the Space Marines but instead of paying an absurd amount of points for their OP cheese models they get to continue to pay less.

I am honestly a bit flabbergasted by the number of "I hate orks" posts. For the most part it seems its because Ork players get into the feel of the army and start speaking words with an orkish flavor. Or one person who called ork players childish...kind of don't understand that one. But whatever floats your boat.

I feel like you've had only bad experiences with Eldar players. If I ended up playing against you with my Eldar army, I think you'd have a fun time.

I wouldn't worry about that. He also called SMs childish and hates:
-Orks
-Grey Knights
-SMs
-BAs
-DAs
-SWs
-CSMs
-IG
-Eldar
-Young people

So you're not alone in being an army who he hates.

I like all of them. I dislike somewhat the Necron remake, but I realize that that is part of GW toning down the horror aspect of the game, probably part of trying to appeal to a wider audience. Which you can also see in the partial de-grimdarking of Space Marines.

Though on the other hand Mechanicus is very grimdark... probably why they are currently my favorite!
