The 40K Rules You LOVE to HATE

We all cherish our beloved grimdark hobby – for it is perfection in all measurable ways!  Except for that one little thing…

Culled from the greatest gripes of the community:

Infinite Look Out Sirs – It was amusing to start with, but when your Warlord has used the first 20 cultists as ablative wounds, I’m about ready to scream bloody murder. Can we get a reasonable limit on these per phase please?

Lobsided Challenges – I’m getting really tired of my Bloodthirster taking the time to paste your pluky IG Veteran Sergeant instead of pasting his entire platoon. How about Monstrous Creatures being able to ignore the popcorn wasting their time?

No Assaults after disembarking from a stationary transportAAAARGH! Apparently those doors require a delicate 12-step process to open properly.

Jink Saves for moving 0.0001 inches – Ahh the nuances of strategic nudging. Its so silly.

Random Psychic Powers!!! “Librarian, what powers do you possess to fight off the foul Hivemind?” “Hold on a second Brother-Captain while I consult the Magic 8-ball”

Placing Objectives AFTER Choosing Sides – Because that’s totally not asking for shenanigans.

Allies – It seemed like such a great idea.  We were all going to use it  try out new armies, buy more miniatures, address subtle inbalances in our codex, buy more miniatures, add nothing but Heldrakes and Broadsides to our lists, buy more miniatures… Also see sockpuppet Tyranids…

No Vector Strike Cover Saves – remember soldiers, hiding in the basement of ruins is no defense. When you see the Hellturkey swooping for you – just stand up and take it like a man (or lady, or man-robot, does 40K even have lady-robots?).

Walkers Suck – Seen anyone using Dreads or Helbrutes these days.  I guess they all decided to power down and sleep through this edition.  Even the Whirlwind drivers are getting more play…
The Heldrake – nuff said.
Did I miss any?
