What is your least favorite unit to fight and why?

So, one of those moments of curiosity formed this question. When you sit down to game, what is your least favorite unit to see showing up in your opponent's army and why?

Right now I'm disliking the skaven wizard with skitterleap and the portable tactical nuke device. Its just crazy to have to be ready to burn a dispel scroll on Skitterleap! Sheesh! and if you don't the result can be pretty grizzly. Yep.

black coach, probably. plague mortars, flaggants and a slann(with temple guard) come a close second.

Lothern Seaguard - hit you with a gazillion arrows through volley fire while you approach them, and then smack you with umpteen ranks of always striking first (and probably re-rolling their to hit dice as a result) when you finally get into combat with them. Usually led by an annoying hero of annoyingness, such as Calydran 'the ridiculously underpriced".

I really hate a Tzeentch chosen bunker with double warshrines and valkya so they keep rerolling for 3+ ward saves. Oh and anything with Thanqual when he is casting the 13th spell and removing 4 d6 of my models.
Cheers,

Chaos Warriors of Tzeench with hw/shield.

You can't shoot them down without guns or artillery. You can barely hurt them in close combat. And even with that fairly defensive build, they can STILL lay a heavier beatdown than most armies' elite units.

AND THEY ARE CORE!

The reason I hate the following units stems from the fact that they make the army I am facing so freaking hard or annoying that it's suppose to be.

Skaven Slaves

Empire Mortar, Warp Lightning Canon and Grudethrowers in that particular order

Any mage with Lore of Death

Any Slaan with Lore of Life

anything else is fine with me.

35 warriors of tzeench with halberds and khornes favourite frenzy banner.

Can't beat them in combat, can't dent them with shooting or magic unless I'm very lucky, can't hold them with steadfast since he invariably has a pair of hellcannons to destroy anything that might remotely hold them up.

When I use my elves, any stone thrower with s5 is right up there too.

Flamers of Tzeench: d6 attacks per at BS4 S4 (or is it S5?), which, by the way, they also get as a stand and shoot reaction along with the skirmishing, T4, W2. The 18" range is the only thing which makes these things survivable.

(Unless they've changed since the last time I've seen them across the table over a year ago).

They truly are no fun, but for some reason the last game I played against them they did nothing effective and got shot to bits. Magic and battle are fickle!

Black Coach or that Bunker of Chosen with the BSB of Ruin and Sorc General.

Actually, I find that RBT isn't horribly bad vs Black Coach if used early.

I also love the whole rule change they did for HPA tho. I hate them, but if even ONE wound is flaming or...something else...(I'm tired) it won't come back. Love it.
