This week Friday I was in my LGW, just making my weekly visit to game and paint with the other Friday regulars when I saw a new guy. He wasn't new to the game, just someone I hadn't seen there before. We talked a bit and the conversation went from horde armies (it didn't sound like he liked them at all) and then onto how the IG army is the strongest army in 40k. I was taken aback by his confidence and bluntness... and the fact he had SM's, not IG. Before I could make any sort of comment another fellow came in and they had a long 2,500 game. Ironically at the end of it, I was still there and I asked him who won. He looked at me, and made a noise between a chuckle and a snort and said "He had Black Templars! Of coarse HE won!" and then he left.
Yesterday I was idly listening/watching Battle Reports and other 40k things on Youtube, and a couple of the videos discussed the glaring imbalances in 40k.
This is all news to me. I mean I was aware of imbalance issues, but that happens in many games. From what I've just recently heard though, these imbalances sound big.... providing these people know what they're talking about.
So as a newb/n00b, are there huge, glaring balance issues in the 40k rules and/or Armies? Is there honestly an army that is at the top of the heap? Or am I just hearing hot air from sore losers?
