    Re: Favourite army to play against

    I think I like to play against Chaos (any flavor) the most, simply because I grew up playing with my High Elves (and still do) and the conflict just feels so epic and desperate! Very fluffy I feel

    Re: Favourite army to play against

    I like playing against Dark Elves with my High Elves, as its always bloody, and usually both sides are devastated by the end of the game.

    As Skaven, I like facing all Gobbo hordes.

    Fully painted armies played by fun people.

    I mostly enjoy playing games where the opponents army doesn't "break the game" too much, such as an army of skink skirmishers or all mounted forces, but generally it comes down to the person I'm playing against. Had some really great games against such armies as well.

    How strict are you on the first bit? I haven't fully painted an army in 6 years (not for lack of trying ).

    Re: Favourite army to play against

    There's no strictness to what I prefer My favourite armies are the painted ones, for instance my brother's Bretonnians are a feast for the eyes. But my most regular opponent is a chaos player and half his stuff is unpainted. I prefer the bretonnian army because I play Warhammer to see cool armies fighting, but I'm not going to refuse playing anybody because he isn't painting his stuff (though if I have the choice, painting will be my pick unless the guy with the painted army isn't fun to play against). Fun guy is the most important half, of course

    Thats right, people that play Warhammer like they are in a Tournament every game are the worst. Argue every rule and blame everything but themselves when they lose, sure if you are in a tournament you are generally their to win. When playing at your local club or in a friendly environment it is more about having an; enjoyable, social and stress free time.

    Some of the most experience players will have multiple lists built and ready to go depending on who they are playing. They don't do this to exploit specific armies weakness but rather take into consideration what type of game both players want and the 'power level' of the opponents list. Some of the most funs games I have is when both players take a completely experimental list that leaves power gaming on the sideline.

    No love for the Lizardmen? I enjoy playing every army without cannons since death by pinball machine style cannonball is no fun for my stegadons.

    Painted always helps of course

    Greenskins.
    They are such a hoot to play against. Most games against them usually involve my opponent and myself nearly crying with laughter at some point due to their silly antics.
    I love playing against Night Goblin armies especially. Fanatics, Squigs, Bigger Squigs, stupid Trolls, drunken Giants and Magic Mushrooms. What the heck is not to like?

    If only I had the time, patience and storage space, I'd go down the Night Goblin route myself. Rather than my noble (but stupidly boring) High Elves.

    Re: Favourite army to play against

    I'm going to have to say Skaven. Our Skaven player marches to the beat of his own drum so whenever we play, I'm guaranteed a good time by not having to face some tricked out netlist. At the end of our games very few models, if any, are left on the board and we both walk away pleased (save one where my magic phase crapped all over his gameplan T1, thereby ruining what would've been a great game).
