By my experience its definitely The Ogre Kingdoms Scraplauncher. The model looks like a horrible mess and have any of you tried gluing it together? I spent HOURS trying to glue it and in the end there was 4 parts that didn't fit in the way they should.

Well, my friend bought a damocles rhino complete with black templars doors, and the doors were too big for the rhino. He even bought it especially WITH the damocles to make it fit, but they still didn't. In case any of you don't know what a damocles is, it's just a plastic rhino with a resin radar and other parts from FW.

Here's a pic: You see this one has DA doors; who's bettin' they didn't fit either?

That's a Repressor with a dish added on top.

SORRY to return for another post, but just shifting through the 2008 catalogue i noticed a bunch of 'free-flowing movement' crap. Things like Lemartes' purity seals, in fact, let's start with him:

Movement Messes

Lemartes' Purity seals: p198


Khazrak the One-Eye's Whip: (Why does it curl up at the end?) p96


Orc Boar Chariot: (Another whip malfunction) p126


Night Goblin Fantics: (Not too bad, but GW can do better!) p122


BUT!!! The award, for most messed up figure of all...goes to:

Witch Hunters Preachers!!! (p224)
these don't look like 40k, but i wouldn't even buy them if they were normal warhammer...and anyway, hasn't the punk era already been and gone?

Just testing, here's a better pic:

Those preachers ARE horrible looking. But also, think about how OLD those are lol
Add to that FW stuff is notorious for not fitting properly

Dont know if anyone has mentioned this already but i really dont like Abaddons model. He looks like he is reaching out to tickle someone. Not to mention that stupid topknot easy fix though just cut it off.

BrookM wrote:That's a Repressor with a dish added on top.

Strangely it has extra armor that is not repressor style. That must have been an expensive model.

I'm guessing somebody's paid aroud £60 for that bad boy, and it's only like 60 points...

£1 per point eh? That's gonna rip through your savings when you start a 10,000 pt apocalypse army...

Speaking of beasts of chaos, how about Morghur and Gothor. Gothor has a free-flow whip too, and Morghur has some piece of gak-like substance behind him. Anyone know what the hell it is?

Immortals. The gun doesn't ing fit right in the arm socket let alone on the leg where the two cords attach.

Necron Destroyer Lord. It's like they just kinda gave up sculpting it halfway, leaving so much gunk that the model looks like gak unless you file half of it down.

Necron Lord with warscythe (no res orb). If that scythe breaks off (and it will, it's really flimsy) it is an utter bitch to reattach.

Khârn's model also looks pretty... weird. His two "horns" on his helmet almost look childish.

Chaos terminators are fugly, nothing like vanilla marine ones.

As stated by many, Abaddon also looks extremely wimpy for a CSM. When I hear the name "Abaddon the Despoiler" I picture a guy that's half Daemon.

The Thunderfire cannon thingie that just doesnt fit together.

Oh, holy hell, Fire Prism. Worst-balanced model that GW makes!

As an english company, why did they make killa cans and deff dreads look like royal mail post boxes. paint one red and see

I now intend to do so and paint a big ER or VR on the front of them too.

With a tiny little royal mail grot running on the base. I reckon the grot oiler with a little green stuff would look like he's holding a post bag.

I would say I least like the Falcon, Wave Serpent and Fire Prism models. These models have looked awsome for several editions but now they just bore me a little. Their FW counterparts are much much better looking.

JohnHwangDD wrote:Oh, holy hell, Fire Prism. Worst-balanced model that GW makes!

This is solved very easily with a little creative modification of the flying stand. I have no issues with mine at all.

chaos raptors, they look ok, nothing special..but if you put them on anything other than completely flat terrain then will undoubtedly fall over and break into 3 different bits every movement phase

[/u][/i][/b]Hmm...after my first visit to my FLGS yesterday i have to say:

Flayed ones
and
Deciever

not because they look horrible- they look good/ok, and the deciever looks very good. However, they needed so much white spirit before they started bonding, and the deciever is very annoying to build (the rebuilding necron ad crystals for the base shold be added LAST, as the Deciever will be lying down for a lot of the building stages, particularly the head, arms and cloth/robey bit- just about all of the model, in fact. The fact that i had to trim one of the base pegs to make it fit into the slots was also annoying.
The Flayed ones wern't as bad, but needed lots of white spirit before they decided to stick (damn temperamental model spirit).

Does the FW Valkyrie count? picked one up at Gamesday for £25.00 but have been unhappy ever since. detail obscured by flash, lots of warping that no amount fo hot water will fix etc i could go on I certainly cannot carry on building it...

this .. terrible..

Seriusly .. this is pure win at being pure fail ... if you like it , go shoot yourself this is only my opinion , if you like it DO NOT , i repeat do not really shoot yourself ..

Please tell me that that's an ancient sculpt.

Ah, the vermin lord, it's fairly dreadful, but then it was created during the Red Age, aka The Age Of Strife. The time I quit warhammer, dark times of an undead army book with everything wearing bright reds and purples and daemonettes with claws bigger n a space marine. It was a dreadful time for GW minis and a great many horrors were unleashed as GW whored it's self stupid trying to capture the Pokemon kids and make them by 'The Product'.

Take a good look at these other things and realise why I was driven from the surface of the world, to dwell in the dark below until the passing of the Red Age and some of the terrible sculpts it spawned:

As for the Vermin lord, One; It's quite old. Two; The paint scheme is pretty poor.

@MGS : I quite like the second one , although i agree with the rest of those , they are terrible ...

Tim the Biovore , that might be it(the paintscheme..) , I just seem not to like it(the model in whole..) but common , if its so old why have'nt they replaced it ? O yeah , I forgot the fact its GW

Orc Boar Chariot: (Another whip malfunction) p126

I belivie its supposed to be freeze frame half way through the whipping(ie. the ork is about to throw his arm forward/backwards again ..)

i don't like lemartes, and I hate the Ragnar Blackmane model. I don't really like the Ulrik model either but I don't dislike like it all that much.

Anything in multipart pewter. Not because they're all bad sculpts, some are very good and I'd love to see them in plastic, but because that rubbish WILL NOT stay together. At all.

Pinning, GS + Superglue, ACDelco Automotive Superglue, nothing works and my pewter crap breaks on a regular basis. It used to be that I would mix Plastic Cement and Superglue, and it would create a sort of megaglue that melted any plastic gibbins to the pewter, but it doesn't work anymore.


In that regard, Necron pewters are TERRIBLE to assemble. And they break if you breathe on them too hard.

The oldschool pewter Daemonettes are much the same. They look great, but the one outstretched claw assembly is a complete nightmare.


@MGS

Oh dear God Emperor, that Rhino burns my eyes. Thankfully I came in at the end of the Crimson Fists Era, right as the Ultrasmurfs were becoming the new Posterboys. I missed a good deal of what sounds like a terrible period in GW History.

I agree with the DE, they need a revamp.

(And a new codex)

The vast majority agrees on that

The few that don't have a very poor arguement. "No one plays them, so they shouldn't get an update."

Well of course no one plays them. They have horrible minis and a Codex from the stone age. If GW updated them, people would actually play them again.

Ot: My current hated model is the corpse cart. Bloody corpses wont fit right...

Can we please take this up again, it`s so frikkin funny

Who reads a book while fighting. What are they gonna do bore the enemy to death or teach a ork to read. Seriously it's weird & pointless. Here is another that's weird the head is just to weird for words.

He's reciting the Uplifting Primer to the Guardsmen whilst they go 'over the top' to inspire them, I really like that model (but my favourite commissar is the executing shot one).

The comissar is obviusly reading a come-back from his books of comebacks .. duh ..

Because this is the first time in 2 Editions that it's been officially returned to the list?

Which is a pity, because I absolutely LOVE the Verminlord(concept and modelwise), but can't find mine currently.

That said, I'd also love to see a new, larger Vermin Lord to compare with the current Chaos GDs. And maybe this new rumoured Fantasy version of FW that GW's planning will do a Resin VL to rival the FW Daemon Lords.

This has to be my longest running thread. Everytime I think it's died, somebody brings it back from the grave.

Staying on topic, apart from the Wolfy McWolfrider (H.B.M.C.s words? I chuckle everytime I type it), there hasn't been much released by GW in 2009 that I would drop into this thread. The Ork releases in January were great fun (quibbling about the Battlebus aside) & the IG Command Sprues and Valkyrie were pretty good. I guess the Lizzies got the odd duff mini (still not really got to grips with Terradons have they?), but this was countered by the Stegadon and Temple Guard kits. Empire Archers were a favourite of mine and the new Skaven miniatures were so good (take a bow, Deathmaster Snikch), they badly dated the rest of the line (IMO).

Are GW's bad days behind them? You would hope so, but there have been some rumblings about some of the Beastmen sculpts. Perhaps 2009 was just a blip!

I know right
Especially his other hand behind his back. Kill like a gentleman

Well since rerolling Necrons I would have to say...

The Monolith. Don't get me wrong the Monolith looks badass. However most of the Monolith kits come flawed. The sides are warped and do not properly fit into the base of the monolith. For 70 dollars I would except a good kit with lots of extras. Expect nothing good from this one.

As for the actual minis well Necrons look pretty good. I would like to say the Necron Lord w/ Warscythe looks terrible. The weapon look's the exact same as the Staff of Light only without a second blade, it does not look like a scyth :(.

Same with the ork killa kan you can't fit the two parts of the kan together.

The worst models for painting sure are the daemons. Its not their fault, noone seems to paint them correctly.

Besides, the Eldar suck, DE even worse. Who'd put guns in his HAT and SCULPT CURVES into their rifles. Yuck. Nothing exceeds that weirdness than their giant mecha. Yuck. I hope their conversions in the next E or DE army book (holy grail for current E/DE players) at least look nice.

Welcome DEATH89, I'm liking your Paul Kidby pic Kind of heresy to say so, but he's a better discworld artist that the late Josh Kirby. Kidby really pays attention to Pratchett's text and gives the characters the proper look (e.g. Granny Weatherwax is a normal looking old woman and doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to a witch - much to her annoyance).

Hope you get the sponsons sorted anyway. Tried pinning them?

Anyone remember the old Commisar Yarrick model, that was horrendous! The new one is much better

And I think someone as awesome not only in the Warhammer univers but in the whole spectrum of GW's universes as Nagash could certainly use a new badass resculpt ^^

Valkyrie wrote:Has to be Jain Zar, seriously they need to sort her hair out.

I consider Jain Zar to be one of the finest things GW ever released, considering her age, that model is superb and cutting edge in dynamism of pose.

My vote for worst miniature in production is definitely the Bloodcrusher. And by worst, I don't mean it looks bad. I think it's pretty bad ass, personally. But my god...assembly...

I can't get the head-collar-body to line up right. The collar seems like it's been squished a little out of shape, and just needs a little squeeze to get it back to the right shape. The problem: it's covered in hard metal spikes, so it's impossible to squeeze it back into shape. And the rest of it is awful too. The one I've managed to partially assemble so far is mostly held together by a mixture of Zip-kicker and hate.

Bad enough that the damn things have to be so expensive (62.5 cents per point does not lend itself to a cost-effective army), but then you have the added insult of a model that I'm quite sure will have blood streaks on it by the time it's done, not to mention superglued layers of skin in the joints. At least it'll be Khornate.

I have a new vote

I actually have my Inquisitor modeled while reading a book, but at least in my mind his pose more "You bothered me while I was trying to read. I have a plasma pistol. Do you want to rethink that?" as opposed to 'studying on the battlefield.'

This thread keeps coming back to life lol.

The monolith is probably the worst mini created by GW, vehicle wise. Dammit, lack of innovation and blank featureless models!

My guess is that the sculptors tear off failed GS from their "proper" sculpts, stuff it in a trash pile somewhere and forget about it, until somedy puts an ork head on top and says "OMFG thats a fine nurgle daemon". It has happened in the past and it will happen again.

And stop it right there, Khârn is GREAT! Possibly the best GW miniature ever, next to the Imperial Guard missionary with chainsword.

I do not think we will have long to wait, the new Tyranid line will have a stinker or two

I am already voting for the "Toxinthrope". . .



I am all for having fun in the bedroom.. but you can only use so many whips.

It is a freaking pewter model, what the hell where they thinking? It has one attachment point on the base, its obviously very top heavy.

I think most players will be better off converting one from a Carnifex and either a Plastic Ravener or a Zoanthrope bottom.

In a similar vein to metallifan, I'm mildly amused by the surprisingly accurate description of this figure on the website - The Beast of Nurgle is a truly horrendous aberration.

The problem with Lemartes isn't the deep eye sockets - it's the ridiculous disco pose and completely horizontal purity seals. That figure is awful - and this is coming from an avid collector of RT/2nd ed models here.

I just hope they come out in a box separate to the starterkit (like the Spyder Ryderz did). We don't want another Deff Kopta situation where a unit is only available in a starterkit.

At least certain webstores will have them as bits (Warstore, for example)

Arthas367 wrote:Biovores, has anyone ever liked these scuplts like really?

It would be a good model if it didn't look like he had a testicular tumor.

Lucius the Eternal, they gave him a whip of licorice not to mention the face was poorly done

Plus, it fails for just being Lucius.

Drop pods, like really GW the doors will not keep shut no matter how great you build the damn thing

Which is usually why most people model them into their terrain as already being deployed

Don't forget good old Ragnar "I love Topknots" Blackmane and his terribly static pose.

The sculpt itself is great, but the Topknot should go and his utterly motionless pose is horribly bland.

I know its not the worst model ever but I hate the pose of the brood lord. He looks like he needs a hug.

But my vote is for the non Black Reach defcopter. I know ork equipment is suppose to look like trash put together but that's ridiculous. Plus its metal so it's harder to fix.

i just have to say that i love the mawloc sculpt, easily better than all of the other minis mentioned in this thread

No, I think the Broodlord's trying to sing opera.

No he's not. He's screaming "KAAHHHHHNNNNNN!!!!!!!!" as loud as he can.

Like this.......

I've always imagined Huron Blackheart doing that.

'Cept he's screaming "CREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED!"

I notice everyone's politely tiptoeing around the new Penisvore.



I'm honestly not sure whether it should be in the Worst Ever thread or the Best Ever one. I suppose it generally depends on just how dongy you want your army to look

Just 'cause it's slightly phallic doesn't make it a bad sculpt.

He's another semi-contender. While he's well-sculpted, proportionate and in many ways perfectly serviceable, a couple of bad design choices very nearly kill him off. Firstly, the usual GW pitfall of splattering a perfectly good mini with a crapton of extraneous bling and a ludicrously huge spiky halo, and more importantly, out of all the poses they could have put the bugger in, why oh why oh why did they pick this one?

True, but just because it's a good sculpt doesn't make it a great miniature.

Thinking about it, I'd quite like to see the Nids heading more in this direction and developing more Freudian appendages.

TAKE IT AWAY!
Seriously, the new incoming Biovore and the Tyrant Guard or whateveritis are ugly models.
BURN THEM WITH FIRE!

The new Tyrant guard look like Zoats!

The broodlord. The smallness of it and all of tiny chunks of metal you have to cut off and shape suck. Also lucius the eternal blows for the same reason.

The Broodlord just wants a hug guys :_(

Brother SRM wrote:The Broodlord just wants a hug guys :_(

No, he's yelling "PROMOTIONS!"

You must admit, he does look very nice in a suit...



However I tend to agree, I don't much care for the actual model.

What has been seen can never be unseen.

The most unsettling part about the penisvore is that the gun looks like it's spooning the critter.

Necron Immortals

Pariahs. ( great concept art , fugly sculpt )

Since we're back to the good ol crons, I'll give another vote....

The Necron Lord!

Ok the lord models are not bad, and the staff of light looks ok. Warscythe? The warscythe model and using the res orb lord as a warscythe... how is that a scythe? looks nothing of the sort. I hope the next codex's lords come with actual scythes like the ones from medeival/fantasy times instead of a staff of light with one blade cut off.

Historically, Warscythes resemble the Necron version much more than the farming implement.

Oh I see =O

I just think it looks bad lol, but thanks for letting me know that's what a warscythe actually looks like.

Oh lay it off the Necrons!! I like 'em! They got this...old...ancient!...Terminator feel to them!

Plus, for all you 'nid lovers, there's a great addition to your existing armies...Penisvore! A good complement to the lonely Queen!

Yes, as the OP I going to have to disallow Necrons as being nominated The models have dated slightly, but were acceptable sculpts at the time of release.

Flash mate, can we just nominate crons as a whole?
Lets face it, they are even worse than the manly dark eldar.

At the risk of starting an argument JD, (most of) the Dark Eldar line is by far and away the ugliest model selection left available to 40K collecters.

I'm staggered (metaphorically, because I'm on the sofa at present) by the suggestion that Necrons should be mentioned in the same breath as that foulness

At the time of writing this post is number 429 in this thread.
If we had been a bit more organised we could have covered most of GWs current range with one post per model.
It would have been quicker to name GWs best models though!
Poor planning Dakka!

Please don't highlight that my thread ran its course ages ago, it's my longest ever and I don't want the Mods to lock it

Besides which, we're waiting for Beastmen. I understand they will present a few new candidates.

Not my intention at all Flashman.
The current Beastmen are waaay better than the old monopose plastic ones though!

Without a shadow of a doubt : Lamartes

May favs:

The 100 lbs terminator honor(hanging off the pistol) that is the size of his head
The stiff purity seals(makes him look faster)
That Mike McVey no longer scuplts for GW

Cheers

Well, most of the "collectors" range of imperial guard (not the SL) especially this guy:

some daemon models
biovores

It looked nothing like a phallus. It still doesn't. The guy I posted, however...

Hmm...Phallic models? Seen the Penisvore yet? Complete with ball sack!

It looks like a scimitar ... phallic? I call that wishful thinking -_-

That is the strangest weapon I have seen yet from the 40k line I think. It almost looks like a sex toy. Great sculpt GW

To be honest, I think I could name pretty much any LotR elf that Gary Morley got his misbegotten hands on. However saying as we are on the subject of pseudo-phalli, I think this one will serve the purpose best:



It is *supposed* to be a beautiful female elf playing a foot. Due to the goggle-eyed sculptor's cack-handedness and general lack of awareness of anatomy and musical instruments however, it looks more like a fugly trannie grasping and blowing the pink oboe...

Well *she* doesn't certainly look female at close look.

A NEW CHALLENGER HAS APPEARED.


Silly goggles, pointy moustache, and an ATROCIOUSLY static pose. Plus, his weapon looks like a water pistol.


Is this a joke? It looks like its forelegs should end in little sets of wheels.


The GW site claims that Daemonettes are possessed of "hypnotic glamour".... those chicks are fragging ugly. Is GW just incapable of doing anything sexy?

You shouldnt be surprised though , GW could very well have extremely low to no standards when it comes to females.

And I don't think anything is wrong with the Tyrant Guard

Tim the Biovore wrote:And I don't think anything is wrong with the Tyrant Guard

You mean except for the part where it looks like a biovore with a weight problem?

The problem I have with Tyrant Guard is that they look far too small to do their job- defending a huge monster from attack. I preferred the older Tyrant Guard models with the shield and lash whips (not that those were particularly great-looking either though).

the venerable dreadnoughts are impossible to put together, as well as necron wraiths, and zoanthropes.

The "wooooooooorst" models ever is

1.Ragnar, he locks like som stupid idiot with vampire teeth. C´on

2.Skaven doooooooooooom wheel.

3. all skaven models, the look like som kind of nurgle rats.

4. the Masque, she looks like some ugly moron screaming "hey, i can dance you to your death"!!!!

5. ork spanner boys

I like the skaven's, I'm thinking of starting a skaven army.

The worst models in my opinion is the Space Marine Venerable Dreadnought and the SoB tank with the organ on top. That one looks very stupid.

I nearly forgot the IG Leman Russ and its variants, maybe its my taste, but I don't like them.

Yeah, the DE line sucks.

It's that Khornate Chaos Spawn, its name is Scalia or something close to that I think.

I could be wrong though.

Get out, the new models are gorgeous. Ragnar has a pretty lousy model though. When it came out back in 92 or so it was one of GW's better sculpts though.

i hve to say space marine scout snipers because there poses are too relaxed and you have no choice of how they go together
so every scout sniper squad in the world looks the same

I do have a real dislike for the recent nurgle wizard.

Are you kidding me? A scimitar doesn't do any of the following:
a) Curve upwards
b) End with a strange metal piece (which looks phallic in nature)

The new Beastmen are... underwhelming. The Gors, Bestigors, Ungors and Malagor look great, but the rest of it is really fething ugly. The Razorgor is one of the ugliest models I have ever seen, and the Minotaurs look more akin to pissed off camels than bulls.

Dang! Those Beastmen are ugly. What was wrong with the old ones?

Foxy_Grandpa wrote:the venerable dreadnoughts are impossible to put together, as well as necron wraiths, and zoanthropes.

Add the Thunderfire Cannon to that list.

Whoever thought it was a good idea to add a pig on steroids to a beastman army was off his trolley....

I like the bloodshot eye of the Razorgor though, it's a nice touch that really adds to the messed up nature of the thing.

The Razorgor reminds of "The Lion King", that pig and if he was on drugs, Pumba[?]

^-^

Those new Beastmen are horrendous- they honestly look like models from years ago that need updating, not brand new ones

The Razorgor and Minotaurs in particular are really awful.

Kveldulv wrote:

Even the old minos looks better

The minotaurs just look too bulky in their muscles and the chest muscles on that one on the left are just ridiculous and mutated (not in a good way). shame really as I was looking forward to some cool modelling opportunties with plastic minotaurs...

That's what happens when you give PCP to a pig.

The Gors look great... but they didn't really need to be improved in the first place. Although the Bestigors got a much needed remodel that does look great...

But the rest... oh god... fething horrible. GW's worst.

Yesterday I watched Princess Mononoke and the resemblance between the demon boars and this... thing is quite close.

I loathe those miniatures. They completely turned me off chaos.

The new Minotaurs are now second on my list, after Nagash.
The Pumbagor can at least be used for comic relief, but the Minotaurs are irredeemable.

Those Minotaurs are really really badly done. Man, I have expected some nice new sculpts. Maybe even something which rather resembles a toy than some evil bulls. But those... stomp-legged, steroid-stuffed flesh-cows are aweful. Are they even cows?
It´s not even the heads, they are kind of strange, but might be okayish. Those legs... man.

It might not be friendly, but to me the sculptor has failed massively. After all the fuzz GW makes about their new stuff, this is not acceptable.

The Chaos Spawn are really good models, but what the feth is with those huge gaps between all the different parts? Seriously, why would you do that? just make all the sockets and appendages have the same size "ball and socket", so to speak.

I don't get it? Vulken lookis tank, so do the tankbustaz- they're arranged in a very cool pose! cept for Nob- he has weird hunch back.

I reckon the worst has to be...
Old warlocks (no they aren't awesome), cassius, ratlings and cassius. Did I remember to mention cassius? I like the idea of him and his fluff just not his pose.
