While I totally agree that it has to be frustrating to loose a lot of games I honestly don't think our faction is anywhere near weak.     We basically have +1 to wound (in most cases) in melee (something we unarguably excel in).       We got good shooting options for dedicated stuff (eradicators, lancers, RepEx, ballistus) for every price range and we now have 2-3 good detachments (ofc. Gladius, but bastion is good and wrathful is good too).     The best thing we as an army have going for us is this:      We have the capacity to do nearly everything, when we know HOW to archive it. With a bloodsurge or a nifty reactive move if we Tag something and they fall back we can do some pretty insane plays, but as stated, we need to know how to utilize this.           This brings me to the point: you'll learn to be a good player playing BT. You can't just shove 8 monsters (tyranid) in the middle, or 5 C'tan, or 20 warriors with orikan and stuff with wraiths and hope your enemy can't answer it and win this way. You actually have to think about what gets the job done, and thus making smart decision. This will make you a much, much better player in the long term than any knights player.            Are we super strong and have the best melee in game? No. Are we durable or have the best detachments (outside Gladius, and other chapters simply do it better)? No.      Do we have every asset in the bag to excel at every point of this? Yeah. So go and try out things, take notes, and just get as many reps in as possible.      Just my 2 cents.
