Most Annoying Army to Face

Post by Auric stormcloud »

What do you think is the most annoying army in Warhammer to face? What about that army truly peeves you? I would have to say Skaven, because they have so many troops and really annoying war-machines.

The race I hate playing most as Druchii is Druchii. Skaven are darned annoying, but Druchii are just....well...not fun for me to play against.

They charge 16 inches, but that is far enough.

I hate to play against wood elves. An army that sits back and then flees, not fun at all to play against. I will not play against our groups wood elf player simply because I do not enjoy the games.

Vampire Counts are the hardest for me to beat. Banner of Barrows, cursed book, units I can't break in one turn... they are my nightmare.

I voted for Wood Elves... they are quite annoying, since they always try to hide and flee, can't say that I hate them or any other army, tho.

Another thing is the Chaos Dwarf Earthshaker Cannon, the movement reduction you suffer can be really annoying sometimes.

Last but not least, Dwarfs, for being so annoyingly boring.

Why is playing against the Skaven boring? I found my single clash with them so far quite interesting, really.

Of course, I played a guy who used diverse units, not just Clan Rats, Ratling Gun, Slaves, Clan Rats, Ratling Gun, Slaves, repetere ad infinitum.

It’s not that playing Skaven is boring ,it’s annoying because they have huge amounts of troops and loads of powerful war-machines and good magic.

I've actually had fun in my battles against skaven. The skaven player in our group was not very good though... but still, I would rather lose to a Skaven player than beat a Wood Elf player. Simply because Wood Elves are a pain to fight against. Wood Elves flee from everything, at least Skaven waits till you beat them in combat before running away.

I said HE because of that damned flames of pheonix spell! And my resident HE player uses 21 silver helms :shock:

Well, as a pure DE player I hate mostly HE ;).

Seriously, though, my biggest problems come from Empire (Steam Tank and core heavy cavalry), and skaven (too many gits to kill).

Wood Elves, without a doubt.

The one time I played against them all they did was shoot and run away.

How boring... :roll:

The player I play against just has lots of units of 5 archers, some WDancers and some Scouts/Waywatchers.
The only thing to do is to surge forward, but 60 arrows S3 AP, isn't that pleasant.
If you use thet cloud thingie from the Shadow Lore on Yout WitchElves, it might just work...
I did that, and the 5 remaining Witch Elves (of thr original 21 :shock: ) massacred all his archers!

So, I hope you'll have a merry Christmas
I will, because on the 25th of December my cataclysm plan to take over the world and sell iot to aliens for a bunch of chocolat begins -hope there won't be an evil 007, or even worse, an Austin Powers :lol: !!!-

Enjoy yout puny holidays nonetheless,
Happyslave :D

Night Goblins with Fanatics, especially when my friends the luckiest bugga i've ever known: He's played around 10 games against me with his Night Goblins and only ONCE has a fanatic hit one of his own units!!! :evil: . Instead they seem to have somesort of magnetic attraction to my CoK and they never crash by themselves. They occasionally fly off the table and the only other way they die is me using precious spells and RbT on them !evil! .
On the other hand though his squigs, when the break, move about 3" and do abslutely nothing, and occasionally they take a dive into one of his units !lol! but they are far less dangerous than fanatics.
