Most annoying faction

[your literal mum]

Alright, let's settle this:

Who is, in all the TW: Warhammer games, the most annoying faction in the game?

For my part, it's DEFINITELY the Exiles of Nehek. Khatep will spend every waking moment spamming you with endless diplomacy requests. He'll do it to every single player, every turn, at a HUGE range. That means he tends to have weirdly powerful allies but he never manages to become big himself. Getting rid of him often means♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥off somebody like Lothern, but not getting rid of him means constantly having to reject his propositions. He's a needy clingy worthless guy with a rich daddy and he won't leave you alone.

There is not a single game I've played anywhere in the New World where I haven't ended up wiping him out just to stop him asking me to be friends.

Chip in.

Beastmen and the rogue armies. They're a reoccurring pest that you will never truly get rid of.

Dwarfs. it takes so long to tech up and build up your towns.
I get the idea they were trying to make that dwarfs build up slow and steady but the rest of the world is not gonna wait while you build up your nation.....so let me do something everything fun needs like what tier 5 and it takes forever to get there

On Vortex, except if you're yourselkf playing as a vampiric corruption faction, the vampire coast. Those guys have crazy levels of vampiric corruption. Their LL can reach +50 with just their army, meaning that just having one of those stands for a few turn in one of your region will make your public order crash even with plenty of untainted bonus available.

If they own a part of a province and you own the other, if their LL sits in their settlements in that province, you'll never be able to avoid vampiric corruption to go way past the 50% bar and you'll get attrition on top of everything else.
Their osmosis capacity is also pretty damn infuriating.

Compared to them in vortex at least, any other faction's corruption is childplay to counter.

Skaven as number 1 with High Elvs as an honorable mention. I hate both of them quite a bit.

[James Howlette]

I'd say the High Elf world police

All the alliances they form and their snowballing power and economy in Lothern, combined with the fact that AI's will just beeline for player factions they're at war with over any other threat.

It feels like the late game of any "chaotic" faction inevitably devolves into fighting wave after wave of swordmasters and handmaidens sailing arcoss the world to screw with you.

Brettonia. They have crap units, take forever to finally accept a basic treaty and rarely make anything of themselves. Not to mention that any treaties you do make with them are temporary anyway as the my eventually just confederate together. They’re just not worth the effort to purge.

Kinda true I guess, though they tend to have some of the most annoying to fight rosters if you don’t have tons of armor piercing. The things I’ve don’t with just their garrisons...

Zhufbar. Alaric Getgold.
This is the dwarven lord that endlessly senselessly and without any obvious reason walk to and fro across the vampiric Sylvanian lands just to get to the other end of his province.
I think he has forgot how to dwarf or something.

That's exactly what I would expect a dwarf to do. Technically just be going for a stroll, without making any hostile movements, just casually admiring their neighbours' lands, and then justifiably defending themselves against the aggressive wretches that so treacherously declared war for no reason whatsoever.

Oh and wood elves. Christ I have difficulty against wood elves. Bulky monstrous infantry and amazing ranged units is a nasty combo

[Ashantai]

Skaven are incredibly annoying to siege. Not difficult, just annoying with their clanrat spam, warp bombs and warp lightning.

[irmanyadi]

Skarsnik. I don't know what happened but I think Devs just give him 1mill Gold at the start. I know gobbos are cheap but 3-4 stacks early on is ridiculous. And if u kill the stacks he just build few more.

I only manage to beat Skarsnik with overwhelming forces with Empire. It wasnt like this before. Having said that, i think before the Festag update Skarsnik wont survive beyond turn 15.

I THOUGHT HE WAS RETARDED ONLY IN MY CAMPAIGNS.

My headcannon is that it's like a rite of passage for his troops. Survive 50 turns doing that walk and forth or something, Idk. He's dumb.

Personally I find the tomb kings the most annoying faction. Since they don't spend gold at all to recruit or maintain their armies, you can knock down 5 armies in one battle and you won't even get a couple turns of respite before they're back at it with more armies.

[RED /(Weber)\]

I'd say the Vampire Counts, as their vampiric corruption really slows you down, and they take over everything.
However, I do like the challenge.

[Scrotum Scratcher]

It's a tie for the Vanaheimlings and the Beastmen for me. Beastmen in particular make it almost impossible to take Marienburg in the first 5 turns as they will raze Helmgart and Grunburg while your armies are away if you are not careful.
