The Unfavourite: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Warhammer 40,000]]'' backstory has strong vibes of this in the Primarchs. With a few exceptions the vast majority of them defected because of their father's disapproval and/or withering apathy (but not Horus, who was the star and the Emperor's right hand man for most part). In the words of Roboute Guilliman, "The Emperor was a great scientist, a great leader, but a terrible father".

** On the tabletop itself several armies could lay claim to this. The long suffering Dark Eldar went ''ten years'' without receiving an update. Now that they have a new rulebook and set of models the mantle passes on to the Witchhunters, though their chances of getting an update are [[Demoted to Extra|looking grim]]. With the [[Amazon Brigade|Sisters of Battle]], for a while it was bad enough that a fan wrote ''[[The Steadfast Tin Soldier|The Steadfast Pewter]] Sororitas'' [http://1d4chan.org/wiki/The_Steadfast_Pewter_Sororitas story], and it was regularly remembered. To put it in perspective, this happened while GW gave reasons to be accused of ''blatantly'' using "cheese" as a marketing strategy (updating different factions in turn into a [[Game Breaker]]/"easy mode", to the point of being restricted in non-"official" games, so that the newbies would buy related materials - and presumably the older players a reason to buy something else).
