Which 40k army scares you the most to play? If you were at a tournament which of these armies would you be hoping you don't have to face? Please leave a comment saying which army you play and why the army you voted for scares you.
Only the Tervigon can spawn broods and only the Hive Tyrant can reduce WS to 1 and neither task is fool proof. Both of these are very, very pricey monstrous creatures and are both HQ so there aren't that many of them.I'm surprised that no one else has said Tyranids. The nid armies are some of the best balanced and most dangerous at the tournaments I normally play in. Their ability to spawn new troops and shut down your close combat units by reducing their WS to 1, is devastating.
Eldar codex page 28, first paragraph - powers are used at the start of the _Eldar_ turn unless otherwise noted.(also using a hole in the rules, a farseer may use his powers per turn which unless specified refers to a player turn, meaning he fortunes his units during my turn)
Dark Eldar is still an extremely competitive codex. Granted, it seems like you have to take the perfect army to win, but that army will win most of the time. It may not be on par with all of the 5th ed codex's but, it certainly can hold its weight against them better than others.Granted I've never played against or even ever seen a dark eldar player I just find it interesting that a 12 year old codex is striking fear into peoples hearts. Like I said i've never played them so I'm not in any way saying they aren't a threat, and they probably are pretty scary to play.
