Sorry I love the Tyranid warriors. They let me remember my early days of 2nd edition and the boardgame "Tyranid Attack" (or it's other version: Advanced Space Crusade)

agreed. Not even a nid player, I love those old models. There's a difference between old and 'silly' and I've got a soft spot for nostalgia.

To be fair, those are the metal ones. They weren't around for long and the plastic ones that replaced them weren't as bad.

Aside from this, what about this 'luvverly lady' from the SoB range?



What the hell?! She looks like an overweight bearded lady with whips.. Maybe she's just pissed because the Repentia are lithe and lethal and she's just doughboy fat? Aside from all this, surely women who are hell bent on proving themselves and repenting their sins in the crucible of battle don't need a Fat Controller? So, pointless and a horrible mini to boot....

It isn't that she is overweight, but that she is wearing flowing robes and such over power armor. That kind of bulks out the body and putting robes over the armor accentuates that fact. The repentia are all anorexic and lacking armor so of course all look lithe.

For the silliest "supposed to be taken seriously" current model I vote for these

Supposed to be Undead dire wolves but look like the partially skinned offspring of giant rats and pot bellied pigs.

I like dire wolves. The zombies however...

Haha, those are awesome At the same time some of those are butt-ugly.

Btw. isn't the hairy one from the second link the same model as the old ripper/squig?

Actually if you look closely, its a little catgirl succubus.

The Wieredst I have ever seen is 2nd Edition female figures, especially Guard and Fantasy Elves; tiny waists, massive busts and over large hands, not to mention all their eyes seemed to have a distinct Asian slant.

New entry.....the bar has been raised gentlemen.

for making me laugh...and to let me track this thread...

Seconded. Those models are by far the worst models I've seen from GW. The "Khornemower" wasn't bad, the Stormtalon wasn't bad, but neither were good either (though the ST has grown on me). However, these centurions are simply bad. They have skeedaddled past "silly" and slammed straight into "wtf were they thinking?"

I love my Talon personally. Im easily amused. But those Termitubbies are a new all time low.

not that I love them all too much...but the angry yellow doesn't help



I have mixed feelings...like with the stormraven

They heard we like power armor, so they put power armor on their power armor so they can go to war while they go to war.

They've yet to release the rules where these three guys voltron up into a dreadknight.

I just hope they're not Monstrous Creatures, though I expect they will be.

I'm expecting Infantry WS4 BS4 S5 T5 I4 W2 2+/5+...and maybe some vehicle repair or fnp with the techmariney guy in there?

HAHA thread made!!!

I was hoping the centurions would at least have some cool factor, like the stormtalon did. These are just bad any way you look at 'em. They definitely have my vote.

 PrinceRaven wrote:

I sincerely doubt it. They're a bit bigger than Terminators. They'll probably more or less be loyalist Obliterators.

Eh, I am not too offended by them. Maybe I'm more laid back, but they don't really bug me all that much.

Yeah from what I've seen, those upcoming Centurions aren't looking too hot. I mean, the top half looks decent enough...but 'dem legs?! It's going to need a bit of converting for sure to salvage, 'def have to cut at the knee and re-segment the leg somehow because what's going on now is just too..."squat" (yeah, I said it).

Not sure why the ultramarine ones have 8 pointed stars on them...

 Eldarain wrote:

I'm pretty sure those are iron halos, in the sense of the award/honour. Otherwise, a lot of loyalists would be sporting heretical iconography

Wow, lots of... silliness. I agree that a lot of the old tyranid models were really awful. Not just the old warriors (which were probably the worst), but... well... lots of stuff, including this one...



And while those new marine units look awful, they're still not as bad as...



Because, com on, it's a dumpster. A dumpster with the pretense of flight, and a turret that can't even shoot down.

But mostly...



Followed shortly thereafter by...



No! NO! Put me down, you fool! I need to deliver a dreadnought with my dupster ramp!

What in god's name are those termie looking things? New models...?

Why is the UM on the left a zombie?

Is it just me or do the centurions models look like they moved the space marines elbow down there arm or something. There arms arnt that long they could never bend or use the hands.

By proportion, they cannot have their arms in the arms. They must be controlling them from within the suit.

I think the idea is a bit like Tau suits.

That's what I thought at first but the halos usually have 12 points, seems odd to not only have it different but to be 8 specifically seems on the heritical side.

The man(?) with the fish on his/her head and the bucket on their boot.

I'm pretty sure this was the origin of the Centurions:

Only he was actually cool.

Pretty close to number 1 for me... or anything from the Tau range.

Power armoured space vikings riding wolves into brandishing chainswords are not silly, they're awesome... ok, they're a little silly.

I'm a wolf fan and I consider that

I like wolves also, but a Space Marine riding on the back of one is just ridiculous hah...

Imagine Bran Redmaw (Wulfen mode on) riding a Wolf ? Or vice versa :-)

Link broken, was a pic of GW's female SM.

They can be both! 40k is all about the balance of ridiculously silly and actually cool.

Deserves a mention, too. Not bad, but the guy on his disco table in the back is just silly. With the guns, it makes sense. WIth the statue on it, making it a Darkshroud, it doesn't.

He was just summerizing.

Well I always thought this was pretty ridiculous.

Lets face it guys, we all secretly love the silly models. 40k has always been about taking sci-fi/fantasy tropes and dialing them up to 11. It'd be boring if everything was realistic.

They kind of made sense in Return of the King where they were defending a fixed position and using abandoned chunks of the city as weapons.

But for a field battle? Do the Bretonnians really have that many abandoned shrines they can use them as ammo? What about overseas?

So yeah, Church-a-pult.

<neckbeard> Hey, that's not a catapult! It's a trebuchet. There's a difference. </neckbeard>

Kind of suprised this thread got to 10+ pages without this being mentioned:



It's a really cool model, but the "behold the power of the mary sue!" pose is a little bit silly.
