I have big love for the khorne jugger Lord , now have 3 ( two 40k one fantasy.)
I also adore sammael, he is now a jetbike librarian in my 30k thousand sons army.

The warlord has to be the most visually impressive model released so far. Not just cos it's massive. Could never actually get one tho.

I would rate Horus as best of the primarchs.

Of GW's kits i've managed to shortlist it down to 5 for me. It's either:
-Marneus Calgar and his honour guard
-Ironstrider ballistarii
-Colonel 'Ironhand' Straken
-Painboy
-Ork Boss Snikrot

Annoyingly I don't own any of these models' factions.

From my own factions it would be the Blood Angels Terminators (lightning claw sergeant!) and the Cadre Fireblade.

Nagash the new plastic kit

All these are from 40K

Warpsmith from GW


Fulgrim from Forgeworld is best looking in 40K

Probably this guy.
I think he might be the best Ork miniature in the range.

The gak-eating grin, the 'I know exactly what I am doing' arrogant stance. Perfect.

If including Forgeworld, then I would go for any of Forgeworld's greater daemons with me leaning towards the stunning Forgeworld Bloodthirster.

If just GW, then the Adeptus Mechanicus Tech-Priest Dominus works for me on so many levels. Brilliantly designed and sculpted model.

See I think Fulgrim is maybe the worst Primarch model. I like his body and stuff but his face kills it for me.

Roboute Gulliman looks good too.

Hard to narrow it down to one, but some of my favourites are:

1) Eldar Wraithlord - Haven't got a picture to share, but I've seen plenty of examples of this model looking badass. I know he's pretty plain, but particularly when he has his sword (as my one does), he looks really imposing. Amusingly, I feel the Wraith knight looks pretty awful.
2) Sevrin Loth - I've seen him posted earlier in this thread, and I'll give him another vote. Loth gave me the push to start a Red Scorpion's army. Originally just wanted a badass looking librarian, but after him, the rest followed.
3) Bretonnian Damsel on foot - Just a very pretty looking model if you ask me, have one on a circular base who sometimes joins the inquisition forces too.
4) Dark Eldar in general - Apart from a few notable exceptions (that new Archon greatly upsets me), I think the Dark Eldar range is the best one GW has put out. A pity I'm so often killing the bastards.

White dwarf templates card gobsmasha ork warbuggy/battle wagon with coffee jar lid wheels and smartie tube battlecannon.

Personally, when it comes to Fulgrim, I vastly prefer the alternative version:

Agreed.

Why didn't we get that one?

For me my top 5 are
Warp smith
Plastic plague bearers
The defiler
Doom fire warlocks
Cold one knights

Karlaen looks good too.

Not a lot of Xenos love here guys.

Now there's some.

Well for xenos I nominate the entire DE range with the exception of grotesque and the new archon

Hmmm best model? I'll pick from my armies first-

Necrons:



Dark Angels


Dark Eldar
Err... pretty much the entire range with exception to the hugely expensive (for x1 stinkin' base of em) Razorwing Flock.

Glottkin. The model is insane. I picked it up as a showpiece and it took me a solid month to paint it. So much detail and it's totally gross and awsome.

I'd throw a solid second place tie to Lilith and that special librarian from fw.

Hmm

40k: Sisters exorsist.
close second would be the entirty of DV box set. i love everything in it.
Fantasy: most the Orc line especially the shamans
FW: the 30k verson of noise marines forget the names.
OOP: FW antilion science base thing.

Kakophoni I think they're called

The resin warpsmith is a *blank* to put together.

oh my god, I have nightmares of the miscast that his cloak is, really dislike the model, like bro, your have a ton of cables, we get it lol.

I actually have a few more of my favorites,

wyches, amazing, love em.

the new plastic deathjester

I also really like the vulkan and mortarion characters from forgeworld. Mortarion is great, except for his sythe, too mechanical.

objectively the best looking is the dark angels interrogator chaplain, he contains the most up to date and current methods of model production as well as mould casting and plastic bix. he by a mile and a half outpaces anything available in any other range on a technical level. if we open up that range then the sigmarites or whatever they are called sigmars lightning people.

if we go based on visual style everyone has their favourite and i dont think you will ever get a straight answer of one model, perhaps a better quation will be one model from the current range per force organization slot. and yes that includes terrain as well

Had to down size my list. They actually have a lot of models I think look good.

Blood Angles: Astorath The Grim, Death Company and the OOP Baal Predator.

Grey Knights: Brother Captain Stern

Vanilla Space Marines: Chaplain with Crozius and Power Fist, plastic Sternguard

IG: Straken...Too many

Eldar/Dark Eldar: new Farseer with singing spear, Striking Scorpions, Warp Spiders, Venom, Scourges

Harlequins: ...All...

Tau: Farsight, Riptide

Tyranids: Stormlord, Deathleaper, Warriors, Gargoyles, Carnifexs

Other: All the Inquisitors

Eldar Wraithlord. Love the size/scale, love the aesthetic with the blank faceplate, love what it does, love the fluff.

Everyone forgets about this awesome Chaos Lord:

Chaos terminator Lord kit and the terminator chaplain are both incredible

Most of the entire Dark Eldar range

From Forge world it has to be the Elysians for me, it's the only 'modernist' styled guardsmen and they look fantastic, that whole range is great

Centurion devastators!

I adore the tau piranha it just looks so pretty

The one and only, Inquisitor Solomon Lok.
