Subject: What is your favorite WH model and Why?

Crazed Spirit of the Defiler

Hey all! As the title suggests, post what is your favorite model(s) from either of the warhammer universes and why! Hell, you can do LOTR too if you want 
It can be from W40k or Fantasy, even forge world if you like, i expect so many kriegers ^.^
Also...You can choose a model you have made as well, such as a conversion or diorama you have made 
Mine -
Warlock Engineer Ikit Claw from fantasy, i just adore the pose so much, and i love his armor, especially the inbuilt flamer
http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat440084a&prodId=prod1070007a
Vampire Counts Corpse Cart from fantasy, it looks so macabre and well done, i especially love how the zombies are just rammed onto the stakes and how the twisted corpses make it look really grim
http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat720005a&prodId=prod1050052
Chaos Space Marine Raptors, Love the posing, love the new helmets, and love the new jump packs, the original ones were excellent but these take the cake. The best part i'd have to say is the spiked boots 
http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?prodId=prod1710090a
Last but most certainly not least, The Dark Eldar Raider, I first fell in love with these during a play of soulstorm, the voice acting was excellent, they look amazing, Although i still prefer the original model a bit, the new one is brilliant (and more practical  ) Raider Craft! Ready to loot! Pillage! And kill!!!

Chaos Sorcerer with Force Sword. I saw him for the first time in the FLGS and bought him on the spot. He looks even better with the wings I converted for him, but I haven't got a camera nearby.
I liked the ornate helmet and the sword mostly, but now he's my favourite because he's been leading my force forever.

Skaven screaming bell. Oh my god I love this thing. Probably because it's so big it's likely to tower over the swarms of skaven so it feels to me kind of like a mobile tower.

If he does, I think I know what model he will be posting...

Well, after seeing this thread, I knew I had to post something. And because of who I am, I'm not even going to spoiler it.
So here it is:

Greebo had spent an irritating two minutes in that box. Technically, a cat locked in a box may be alive or it may be dead. You never know until you look. In fact, the mere act of opening the box will determine the state of the cat, although in this case there were three determinate states the cat could be in: these being Alive, Dead, and Bloody Furious.

I actually really like the new farsight model. I wasn't a fan at first, but then bought one.
Now I can't stop picking it up and holding it with satisfaction

Great sculpts with style:
Marvelous detail and a  ton of bitz, possibly best box GW sells:
And very classy imperial guard forces:
But to be honest the best model is a converted one!

Agies Grimm:The "Learn to play, bro" mentality is mostly just a way for someone to try to shame you by implying that their metaphorical nerd-wiener is bigger than yours. Which, ironically, I think nerds do even more vehemently than jocks.
Everything is made up and the points don't matter. 40K or Who's Line is it Anyway?

Yes they are. And since this is a favourite model, the dreaded Ork cheerleader will not be posted by me. I enjoy using the pic as a sight gag, but don't care for the model.

Besides the amazing paintjob, the sculpt itself is highly detailed and captures what i would imagine a living saint to be.

I've always loved the C'tan models, mostly because who doesn't think an infinitely powerful (in fluff lawl) star god is cool.
Mostly because I've always wanted to convert the Deceiver into Atrocitus and make a Red Lantern Corps Khorne CSM army led by a Daemon Prince
