Sisters.

>>49775771

This. Because all 5 of them post here and always whine about their irrelevant faction.

>>49775758
That's not how you spell marines

>>49775758
All of them.

Chaos has the 'Dark Gods can't lose, not happening, game's already decided' crowd.

Tau have the stereotyped WAACfags or the ones that otherwise think their faction is above the rules of the narrative.

Space Marines have ye oldest of 40k cancer within its fandom.

Etc. etc.

>>49775785

The worst fanbase is the one that whines about space marines. I ought to start whining about white people. I bet you're white too you disgusting honkey.

>Worst Fanbase

>not Chaos

Now I ill be honest, I hate Tau-aboos, Bug-Fuckers, and Gay Knight and Ultra-Smurf dickriders as much as the next guy, but none of those are as bad the Fucking Chaos fags.

At least the above mentioned factions have merits, as they had to fight and be smart to stay alive in 40keks, but Not Chaos. Chaos is an edgy "we are formed by the Darkness of your soul" bunch of Chaotic-Fucktarded morons who can barely go on a crusade without fucking each other over. They Only reason they aren't a complete joke is that GW sucks Chaos Dick and gives them retcons and vague, statements of immortality, such as being "multi-universal" so that if they won, they wouldn't die out because fuck you, or having an infinite number of demons.

Chaosfags know this, and they learn every little obscure scrap of information they can paint their faction as the immortal and amazing. Then they go around, shitting up any threads that DARE consider that Chaos isn't guaranteed a win rather than bowing and scraping before Chaos. What they don't realize is that other factions arn't just jealous because of their guaranteed win, but becaus Chaos Is a boring, one trick pony of a faction that had all of it's interesting potential run dry years ago.

>>49775758
Eldar. I don't mind the space pixies so much, but the people who play them always seem to be colossal assholes who think themselves masters of just as planned when that is rarely the case.

Tau hate seems to stem more from the crunch, and the general stigma against weebs. Fair few Tau players just admit they like the aesthetic and don't want to play roided-out psychopaths.

Chaosfags are the worst. They're a faction through which is channeled both impotent rage (I'm a dweeb in real life, now suffer daemonic torment on the tabletop!) and assured victory bullshit, the latter of which we're all familiar with.

Worst fanbase: Space Marines. Mainly due to fan infighting among muh favorite chapter is better than yours. Epitomized in 5th edition Ultras/GK hate which went from justifiable to irrational.

Best fanbase: Orks. The person who showed me a long time ago that Warhammer isn't something just for "no life losers" as young me used to say is an Orky guy. The epitome of the more welcoming feel to 40k and honestly in a way the overall less toxic feel of /tg/ compared to other 4chan boards. I have yet to meet an asshole Orks player and they encourage me more than anyone else in the community to make just cool fun stuff (ex. the idea for me to be able to run a Great Brass Scorpion in a Heretics army just because I gush about the model all the time.)

Oh as to justify Chaos, yeah us Chaosfags have a lot of complainers, but they just gotta realize that using actual marines isn't often the best choice. The CSM Cabal formation, Typhus + Chaos Rapier Battery builds, Slaaneshi bikers/sorcs/dread, various Chaos Daemons lists, and nowadays Renegades and Heretics are all kicking ass.

How is that epitomized? The vast majority of that hate came from non-marine players. You're just another typical retard who hates marines. You're the true worst fanbase. You go to a setting that consists 99% of something then complain about them. Go whine about Jedi and storm troopers in the Star Wars board.

>>49776752

You just enforcing how bad the Sqaut fanbase is

I bet half of them werent even born around the time Squats were even still around

judging from how harsh everyone is, , im gonna say every single fan is equally bad

I can agree with this.

Mhm...

You guys seem to have overlooked a faction...

...

The Necron fanbase...

What are they like?

Ork fans aren't good simply by virtue of their circlejerking about how great they are, as evidenced by this thread. They also make really ugly conversions like Nurgle players and claim it's okay because it's "orky", and they do loud autistic cringey Waaagh yells at conventions or in game stores.

Grow up. You're literally on the opposite end of the spectrum of what you're trying to project. Have some social decorum.

>>49777641
Necrons seem to be a faction mainly for newbies who end up either dropping the game or picking a different faction after they've got some experience and fotm powergamers. I've never seen or heard of a dedicated necron "fan" the way other factions have fans.

>>49776752

You mean the fanbase that was such shit that they singlehandedly shut down the GW forums with their avalanche of autism-rage?

The fanbase for an army that hasn't been a thing in 20 years and STILL won't quit whining about it?

>>49776019
>Grey Knights
>fans

Yeah, no. All two of us that still have GK have given up on it. There's no hope.


On a different note, I think the best army fan base is a 3-way tie between Imperial Guard, Admech, and Necrons.

Guard players tend to be pretty chill and you don't see too much waacfaggotry or bitching- aside from the occasional rough riders comment- about what's going on.

Admech players never really make a stink, they just were happy they got an army and then admitted War Convo's are dumb. Plus I've noticed a good amount of creativity in the modeling, which is nice.

Necron players play Necrons, and therefore are superior. While more could be said, everyone knows it's the truth.

I wouldn't mind Orks, but they complain all the fucking time, same (times a billion, plus frogposting) with Chaos Marines. Tau are the same as always. Deldar people, how are you?

>>49777807
His name is Carnac.

>>49775771
Agreed. Heck, their non-/tg/ fanbase is even more cancerous, and if the plastic Sisters rumour actually comes true, I'm going to be annoyed because of all armies that deserve to be squatted, it's Sisters.

No, really. So many SJWs complain about them, and I think it'd be better for Sisters to go away than for them to ever get their filthy hands on them. They likely wouldn't, but still. They all fail to realize the Sisters look how they look, because 40k isn't realistic, and their look is their iconic look.

The worst fan base is the one that chooses the flavoroff the month codex

>I have never met a chaos player that acts like this.

Weird, they seem to show up on /tg/ regularly. For one thing, there's a pretty noticeable faction that shows up whenever there's a "40k universe vs. [X] universe" thread, claiming that 40k autowins because "chaos beats everything lolol i'm in ur base corrupting ur d00dz"

>>49778500
People who make shitty power level threads deserve to have them shit on, honestly.

Shouldnt the Eldar Craftworld playerbase be the mos cancer inducing of all?

>>49778500
There have been more necron wanking threads lately than chaos threads.

I'm a Mechanicus fan, but I play Tau because their models are marginally cheaper for what you get out of them. Tau are my play models, Skitarii and Mechanicus are/will be my "show models" so to speak.

What does that make me?

>>49778610
In what way? Most Eldar players that aren't utter power gamers are fine.

IG players who believe they are Genious Military commanders could be annoying. Fortunately, I have to see one yet.

Chaos players who end up playing Eldar because they are tired of losing.

>>49778091
>Yeah, no. All two of us that still have GK have given up on it. There's no hope.
What makes them so bad that couldn't be fixed with a slightly better codex? Like most of the time that someone says "x army is terrible" what they actually mean is that every unit costs a few more ppm than they would find effective, and I don't really buy that situation as hopeless.

>>49775758
I'd say the absolute worst of the worst are the people who complain about the Sisters of Battle fans.

They are always cancerous and rather pathetic, saying things like Sisters should be removed or that they are irrelevant when in the fluff the Sisters are probably one of the most important factions in the 40K universe. Without them most worlds would fall to corruption of some sort, be it heretical or xenos. They kinda work as the Imperiums immune system, finding and eradicating whatever diseases they find within the body of the Imperium.

Problem is GW treats them like shit, shitty rules, shitty stores (sisters always gets slaughtered) and all metal models.
All metal models with prices where 1 HQ and 2 Troop choices costs over $100 (for 21 models) doesn't help either.

Negative retards always say there are no Sisters players yet I bet there are more of them than GSC, Admech, Harlequins, Deathwatch, Skitarii and Tempestus Scions yet those factions got models and they have even less than the Sisters to build upon.

GSC was a great release though as to me it means the sisters finally have a threat they were designed to fight. Sisters fight Witchcraft, Heresy and Mutation of which the GSC falls into all of these.

In the other thread when the GSC came out some retard said that the Deathwatch handles GSC with their kill teams and this is both true and false. The Inquisition would do the informations gathering so they could send the Deathwatch to the right place and send in a kill team to try and assassinate the Patriarch.

Whatever happens the Deathwatch would never be able to completely eradicate a genestealer infestation. You need a much larger force to contain it and the Deathwatch are too few to make an impact.

So you send in the Deathwatch to kill the center of a genestealer infestation, then what? Do you spend the next 300 years on the same planet trying to find out how many cultists are left and to what planets they might have spread?

>>49778135
GW doesn't even listen to their own fanbase, there's no way they'd ever listen to SJWs. But yeah, I'd rather see Sisters squatted than let SJWs heap another indignity on them by ruining their aesthetic and lore.

>>49777813
You and me both.

Tau, chaos, Dark Angels, and eldar players have been pretty bad experiences.
Orks, tyranid, necron and IG players are the more preferred players desu senpai

What about WHFB/AoS?

In my experience lizardmen, O&G, and Empire are pretty bro.

>>49776005
Deldar. Only ones I've met go into the army for the aesthetic, and I've never seen one complain about the fact that they're bottom tier, unlike some *other* armies with a notoriety for whiners.

Crons kind of too, but I've only met a couple Cron players. They seem a reclusive bunch.

>>49777320
I've never met a player irl who spouts this shit but it's a common annoyance on /tg/. Every thread about "who do you guys think will win 40k?" ends in them spouting vague fluff points and saying "muh chaos already won" and "muh gods can win anytime they want."

Tbh it's probably to compensate for their horrific tabletop performance.

No that'd be the arbites, who have to be present and active on every planet of the imperium. They're also usually the first responders and the ones getting the call out to the greater imperium in the case of cult insurrection.

That's why they feature prominently in older genestealer cult fluff, and why the primary concern of any cult is to knock the fortress precinct off the map before the cavalry arrives.

I really like Space Wolves because unlike the rest of the Imperium the Wolves just go along with the utter ridiculousness of the setting. I always get a little chuckle whenever I count how many Wolf heads my warlord has on him (seven).
People who calls SWfags furries miss the point of Space Wolves: even a lowly neophyte grunt can be as ridiculously adorned as another army's warlord.
I cant stand other Imperium players with their "muh serious, realistic armies" or CEldar players "win at all cost, even if it made the game boring."

The fact that they are metal isn't the problem so much as that the sculpts suck. GW notoriously could not sculpt females back then and it shows. Unless an army of drag queens is your thing. In which case there's Slaanesh for you instead.

They don't have pretty faces for sure, but the sculpts themselves are cool. It's more that 99% of the them are literally the same sculpt but with the weapon swapped or with a helmet so there is absolutely zero variation and because they're one solid piece you can't do any kind of reposing or anything.

Orks, Sisters and Guard are by far the most obnoxious, if only because of how much they wank themselves off.

I'm a huge Sisters fan and I love the look. It's metal as fuck. Not all of us are retarded.
