Whixh army do you think got the worse end of the GW stick? The rules, models etc which are so bad that it's wrong? Some have been shunned by GW ie CDs, and WE to an extent but out of the ones with army books which ones are really bad?

Personally I've got to say HEs have a bad book, they cost too much and are basically limited to cav armies. Their infantry is over costed and is next to useless, their archers well.. not even worth it. Their characters are ok, but still they lack an edge to them.

But one thing is that ALL army books suck as they lack fluff, yes fluff. How anyone is expected to discover their history about their chosen race by using the 6th ed books is beyond me, it's bare boned at best. This is why I've managed to get hold of all 5th ed barr LM and CDs.

I'd have to say High Elves as well.
And I agree, the fluff is worse in 6th ed. I've read some of the 5th ed ones, and I'm amazed by the amount of fluff they have compared to the 6th ed ones! Whenever they re-release the books, they should have some more stuff in them. Like Gork and Mork. There's almost NOTHING about them in the book! How where the greenskins created? Eh, feg it.
Maybe they've just become more obsessed with the money then the world of warhammer.

i would disagree strongly that the high elves are uselss, i agree they are expensive but there spearmena re the best defensive unit in the game fifteen attacks are excellent. i use high elves and though i will admit ive been trounced more than once i ahve enjoyed some success with them even without an uber hard mage or Tyrion (who is rock solid) high elves just cant charge headlong in that for chaos they require subtlety and carefull thought to use adn i learnt that lessong the hard watching my cavalry bouce off anything harder than a gobbo on a forward charge, so i leart to hit flanks and they work great.

i dont really think any army is useless cos any army can be rock hard solid with someone who knows how to use them.

Even chaos army with tons of chosen can be beaten by an army of gobbos if the chaos platyer does not have a clue how to use them right.

DE are better now after the 'fix', but I'd definitely also say that HE are jibbed in terms of points cost per model and the usefulness of thier infantry models.

I think that High elves is the army that has the most units which are "useless" or at least not worth it. But there are several others in other armies. many armies or units also seem worse when compared to chaos armies choices of troop combinations.
