Please feel free to highlight the enemy unit (vehicle or squad) which is just too jammy for their price list. As Imperial Guard we're used to our basic troops being, well, basic, but other armies aren't so unlucky...
Do tactical squad SMurfs with three lungs, two hearts and the "strength of a bear" get you goat? Or "you can field how many?" genestealers? Or "recyclable" Necrons?
Once we've got a definitive top ten, I'll post a vote!
And for my pennies worth...
Eldar War Walker, it costs peanuts and with two scatter lasers it gets 8 S6 shots a turn. Last time I checked those two scatter lasers should be twin linked, but no - too flipping jammy! And they come in squad of 3, so my enemy can have 9??
Let me get this straight, it cheaper than a sentinel, has better weapons, can have holofields etc and fires much more. Grrr ... what were they thinking, thats all the Eldar need, yet another cheap mobile gun platform...

Come on man, thats too easy. Summoned Daemons. Deepstrikes without error then can assault with a Space Marine basic stat line except for a higher Ld, more attacks, a 5+ Invulnerable, and Fearless all for the less than the cost of a standar Space Marine? It was even worse when they used the old rule with Bloodletters and Daemonettes/Mounted Daemonettes. "Hyuk, hyuk, here you go. Heres 30 S5 power weapon attacks the turn I deepstuck right next to your unit." Yeah, just totally gay.

Loyal termies suck compared to Chaos Termies.
Chaos Termis are dirt cheap, can shoot all their weapons (heavy, assault, rapid fire) before assaulting. If packed in a Land Raider, they can even do it after the Land Raider moved and all that for less than 30points. Not to forget that they have an additional attack as well and all come armed with power weapons.
Another cursed entry from the Codex: CSM are the Rubric Marines.
For just a bit above 20 points you get normal CSM, with I think one more wound and AP3 boltguns who have the Slow And Purposeful special rule and therefore always shoot 24"

Crisis suit teams. Given the fact that they can have Feel No Pain. Just sucks wind. Last game I killed the squad three times and the guy makes his FNP roll each time. Flippin Bull if you ask me. THERE IS NO REASON that Tau should have FNP in a suit of armor that is capable of firing AirBurst weapons, and is able to out AP a guardsmen in every shot.
Bleeping FNP.
I fully understand why a chaos marine would have it, an Ork (primitive nervous system), or even a Marine, but a race that is descendent from COWS? The Kroot won't
t even eat them for fear that they will loose intellignce.
I hate Tau with FNP.

I have to say masters of the chapter, I don't know why but I can't seem to ever hit one with anything. My allies have killed them, but I have never been able to take on down.

Oh I forgot the Plague Marines. Same price as Rubric Marines but just a higher T due to Deamonic Resilence and they also have Feel No Pain. Nearly Invulnerable for Guard and many other armies...

So in essence, you hate these models only because your opponent cant seem to put a legal list together. |

I hate all necrons. Everything from Nightbringer to the retarded warriors. The new Orks are kinda annoying

Hmmmmmm.... very difficult, for there are so many that annoy me.
Blood Angels, for being virtually unstoppable.
Tau, for having all the guard's strengths and only half the weaknesses.
War Walkers are a bit too good, but as an eldar player i feel the rest of the list is fairly balanced.
The ANC, for being utterly unnacountable to their taxpayers.
Iron warriors, for daring to pinch out basilisk.
Khornate chaos, for the same reasons as the blood angels.
Daemonhunters, for being so damned shiny.

No more Bassies for the Iron Warriors.
Iron Warriors don't have any special rules anymore and tbh the Blood Angel list from the White Dwarf sucks.
I mean, I've never seen such a bad list. One of the local red shirts had 9k points of Blood Angles and they're useless. He'd have to rearm all his soldiers and afaik he sold them...

For me it's space marines in general, they just to strong in relation to their cost, still they die...
