The one on the right is a SoB. Originally they come with the Asdrubael Vect set. On his Dais, there are a row of spikes and one is missing. The SoB model is holding a spike in her chained hands. The painting is what's so horrible about these two models.

The one on the left looks like Marylin Monroe gone horribly wrong. Horribly, horribly wrong. Going to second that the sculpter has never seen a woman before, or is blind.

The slave girls are really not that bad. I'm not the best painter in the world, but I've used both those models in my Slannesh army and they really don't look bad with a better paint job.

The ones in the examples have gone too far into the detailing catagory. Useing some softer shading and thinner lines help the girls to not look bad at all.

and you would be right sir, ask any GW sculpter if he has seen 'insert movie, book, person game anything here ' and he will deneigh ever seeing or even knowing that ''insert movie, book, person, game anything here ' ever existed. apperently they are raised in creshes deep under the domain of JJ's house, and never see the light of day (or women).

Maybe, but this was 7ish yrs ago. GW bitz order was still in production and since it was a tournament army I wanted to use exclusively GW models. So I went with the best of what I could use.

That actually might be appropriate. Keep in mind that these are slaves put on display onboard Vect's personal craft. He's going to make sure that the slaves he's showing off don't look "ordinary". Assuming that Dark Eldar admire the same physical traits that humans do, a large rack on the females is - for once - appropriate. As is a bra that encourages the display of nipples.

The paint job is awful, though. And I have to wonder about the eyebrows. I don't remember noticing them on this pair before.


On a side note, there was apparently also a very limited release of these two ladies without the bras.

While FAngir's eyes are weird, the rest of the model is as good as you could expect for a thunderwolf cavalry model.

These are actually nicely sculpted figures, the painting just isn't doing them justice at all. They just don't have muscles that pronounced and the contrast used on them to achieve that effect isn't appropriate...on almost any figure - real people don't have dark lines around their muscles. The eyebrows are finer on the actual model so why they have been painted the way they have makes no sense.

Shave off the mohawk, give him a few more teeth, remove the gigantic Flava Flav Inquisition bling, get rid of the eyeshadow, have him holding something more menacing than a large stick, and MAYBE that model will look anything other than completely ridiculous.

Right, you've got to separate ugly in a good way from ugly in a bad way.

For example, GW has made some Nurgle models that are VERY ugly, but ugly in a good way.

They have also made some models that are just really poorly done, and they really shouldnt be selling any of them anymore (some of which they don't).

I believe those slaves were painted by the same Eavy Metal painter as the new Minotaur models. WAY over accented musculature makes good models look horrible. They should fire the painter, not the sculptor.

I second the one about the original Lemartes and his TV antenna crozius. HORRIBLE model.

The last edition model was the original one. One of a handful of models done by Mike McVey when he decided he wanted to try his hand at sculpting during his last couple of years with GW, along with some fairly awkward (and surprisingly young) Space Wolf Scouts.

he is not as bad as I would imagine him to be, his head is weird and he looks somewhat small, but I do not think he diserves ugliest model status.

lol

If you're *really* curious - for intellectual purposes only, obviously *cough* - there's a website out there that attempts to track all of the old and/or rare GW miniatures that have been released over the years. They've got pics of the pair both with and without bras iirc - unpainted, mind you.

You'll need to run down the site address on your own, though (and I actually do encourage a visit to look at what GW's produced over the years). It's been quite a while since I was last there.

She is an SOB, you can see the Fleur de Lil tattoo on her arm, and the extra spike she's about to speak Vect with.

It's a shame that since these are about the only sexy models GW has ever made (unless you have a weird skull bra fetish) you see them a lot.

Hey, now, I kinda like the old dreads! Yeah, they're a bit silly, but they've got a lot more character than the stubby-legged boxes that the marines use now!

I've still got one of the old quad-bolter dreads, albeit in pieces. It'd been assembled at one point and base-coated in blue-grey, but then it was set aside and eventually most of the joints came unglued. One of these days, when I do my Space Wolf army (which should be any decade now...), I'm going to put it back together again and put it on the game table just to watch my opponent do a double-take and ask "What the Hell is THAT!?"

I think Lemartes has to go down as one of the all time weakest sculpts. His crozius looks like it was made from a space marine back banner, and his helmet makes him look like some kind of evil sunflower head. :/

I decided to go ahead and locate the site myself. After a little searching, I found it again. Link is here - http://www.collecting-citadel-miniatures.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page

That's the front page. If you want to locate specific models, you'll have to do that on your own.



Unfortunately, not everything listed in there has a picture associated with it. That's hardly surprising considering the number of limited release and unreleased figures in the galleries. As a result, it sometimes means that an entry might have an interesting or amusing name, but you're left with no idea what the miniature looks like. As someone with a WHFB Dark Elf army (though I haven't played in a while), I'm curious about the "bath time hag"... but there's no picture for her or her attendents.

(I'm guessing that the original idea was that you could have her bathe in your Cauldron of Blood)

Produced within the studio and not released in any fashion. There are not many, but some have gone into the market, I recall a couple selling for nearly $200 on eBay which shows what some people will pay for a couple of tiny nipples.

In a similar vein there are also topless Witch Elves...

Painted by Gunamar Ironwill on CMoN. Great paint on a HORRIBLE model.


he is not as bad as I would imagine him to be, his head is weird and he looks somewhat small, but I do not think he diserves ugliest model status.

Edit:
after loooking at it a little more, for some reasom he looks like a little kid in power armor. Its something about the face, and how the jump pack and the staff makes him look little

I do look at the unreleased stuff fairly regularly, but these went for an unusually high amount even for unreleased miniatures. Unreleased squats sell for a lot, and these were more than those.

Thats the best part, file/clip out the 40k bits and its a perfectly fine Empire General. I've seen stellar paint jobs and scenic bases that make this dude look epic in both game systems. A bit on the small side from what I remember though.

The first miniatures that I ever painted were a pair of fiends back around '90. I had to kludge the legs in order to get them to fit properly, but I remain convinced that those fiend sculpts were far superior to the thing that GW currently markets under the same name.

Yep, Jes does some great work.

Hacking up the hair is tantamount to heresy, though.

Jes' 1st gen Banshees are also quite good, especially considering how long ago they were sculpted. And the Juan Diaz' Daemonettes are very feminine.

The basic Sisters are very good, aside from the bowl cut hair, while the Slaves merely need their eyebrows waxed.

It's an autogun, so basically a future M-16, in space.

Harry over at warseer got someone ( I can't remember his name unfortunatly) to sculpt a new face for old Nagash, and it changes the whole look of it, he looks quite menacing now. It looks more like that art work.

That's not a "M-16". It's an Autogun / Stubber slug-thrower. In Necromunda, they use such things, as Las-weapons are rarer and more expensive.

Actually Lasguns are just as easy to find they're just more reliable and expensive. Autoguns are coller and comparing autopistol to laspistol, easier to hit with.

My opinion on worst model has to be anything Nugle. I am just not a fan.

While I stand by you on many things, having recently painted the SoB army, I found that many of the 'basic' sculpts were absolute rubbish.

2-part moulds does not make a nice mini.

Neither to details that blend into the body, rather than hold their shape, simply because its easier for the casting process.

If/when GW does a multi-part SoB force, I look forward to some decent minis.

I assume you're nitpicking over the scopes and other casting "fillers"?

Or is it something else?

I like these models. They're well-posed and purposeful. Not like a Van Carstein in a typical Morley "Y" pose.

If/when multi-part Sisters come out, I wouldn't mind getting more to bulk out my army. Heck, I could almost see myself trading new plastic for used metal.

Yes 'fillers' is the most appropriate term...

Gernades and utility belts aside, the Sis Superior in the pic you posted is the mini I despise the most. Look at her robes at the back, arms, legs... actually, look at the chunky, blocky robes that seem to be more filler than anything else. Since you raised the 'Y' pose... Saint Celestine anyone?

While the slaanesh horse thingy is very ugly, isn't slaanesh supposed to be about perverse things that only seem beautiful while under Sl's power? Showing moral decadence? Besides, if 3 of those things (roughly 10 feet tall) were charging my line, I'd gak myself. They are kind of creepy/scary, especially when you wonder how they'd look fighting.

No. That's a cop-out that can and has been used to excuse any old rubbish. "Of course the daemonettes have ugly faces, have only one (covered) breast and ride their Steeds of Slaanesh like dead fish, you're not under the influence of their Slaaneshi magic!"

To me, the ideal for a Slaanesh daemon is something that may or may not be attractive, but looks as if something, somewhere thought it would be, like a divine example of bad market research.

"For some reason, the humans keep running away from the Steed of Slaanesh. What are we doing wrong?"

I play Dark Heresy, and Las-weapons have a lot going for them. You can recharge their packs easily any where; even heating them in a fire works though it does degrade the packs. They also have good range and accuracy, and are easy to repair.

These things were just.. urgh. I had so many. I dug out my old chaos army and showed them to my friends recently, there were hysterics. Remember the mutation sprue with the giant arms that made no sense and left you with models you could not possibly line up? Or even just trying to work out the skeletal structure needed to pull those poses in that armor while having necks coming out of their mid chest. Fantastic.

It's a comparative thing. Lasguns aren't that rare, but they are more difficult and expensive to produce, which makes solid-ammo auto-weapons a little more common in the Underhive.

Is that a recent change? Because they aren't in my rulebook.

Why did you need a lot? The points costs at 5th edition when these were released were colossal, you could make a 2000 point army with a couple of units some cavalry and a lord.

I got a few out recently and painted them up.



And the knights...

I quite liked them myself. Brings back memories, these were £10 for a box or 12 I think. It was start of their multipart plastic regiments that have continued to today. They are a bugger to rank up though, but the modern ones look a bit too organised and regular.

Gameplay difference is a difference in the ammo roll. Lasguns are more reliable and less prone to jamming in the middle of a fight than an autogun.

Bolt Weapons are, generally, hard to get in Necromunda, as I remember. Very expensive and running out of ammo on your shiny new bolter was a definite risk. I think I tended to stick with Lasguns and went with numbers over a few guys with better weapons.

After the beautiful Dark Eldar models I almost joined the cult of "GW can do no wrong," at least model-wise... then I saw the Stormraven and my faith was destroyed.

The simplest things would have been to lower the engines and wings. Replace the turret with a razorbacks' and lose the intake tower.

Solar Macharius Is one of the best models ever! The face, staff and bolt pistol, not to mention the scrollwork on his armour, were years ahead of contemparary GW miniatures (1999). The priest with the improvised club is awesome also. To be fair the male metal wyches are actually pretty good, i suggest you take another look. Having seen those tau honour Guard that come with the IMHO cool mobility scooter dude i may have changed my mind on ugliest miniature but my original pick are these.

@Terrible trygon the second converted guy is cool i'll admit. However, i stand by my decision; the Legs look horribly static and clogged with stupid tabards, a few of the models appear to be wearing steel toe capped Doc martens, the gauntlets aim for the coolness of the warriors but instead resemble oven mits and the it's the same pose on every model. They're like the old onepiece plastic chaos warrior (the one you used to get with the paint set ~1995) but with none of the retro charm....

It is no use for you to tell someone what to do on a internet message board, if me posting a picture which has already been posted before is a problem i am sure a mod will contact me, but you aren't a mod, hope i didn't upset you :-)

The simplest things would have been to lower the engines and wings. Replace the turret with a razorbacks' and lose the intake tower.


That still wouldn't fix the main problem with it: Where the hell is the power source?!

I'm quite surprised no one has posted Malekith and Morathi yet.


Heck, almost all the DE sorcerers look bad.

I don't get all the Chosen hate.
They look epic. Also, the BoxRaven actually isn't that bad. It grows on you.

These things were just.. urgh. I had so many. I dug out my old chaos army and showed them to my friends recently, there were hysterics. Remember the mutation sprue with the giant arms that made no sense and left you with models you could not possibly line up? Or even just trying to work out the skeletal structure needed to pull those poses in that armor while having necks coming out of their mid chest. Fantastic.




JAJAJAJ!!! great! the Fantasy Chaos Monkeys or armored Hunchbacks as we called them here!! awfully ugly... but they were the first multi-part kit GW did... i'm wrong?

Of the current style of regiment boxes starting around 1998 they were. The first multi-part skeletons and Marines came well before these though.

Malekith is bad. The dragon doesn't help, imo.

But the only problem that I have with the mounted Morathi model is the horrible fit of all the various parts. I like the figure itself. I also like the other Dark Elf sorceress models - particularly the two new ones. Though of course someone needs to smack GW regarding the fact that there are now TWO sorceress models mounted on Cold Ones (and therefore subject to Stupidity tests) and none mounted on Dark Steeds (which not only avoid Stupidity, but also move faster). For some inexplicable reason, GW decided to ignore the way that everyone runs a mounted sorceress and instead use the method that no one uses.

Oh! You did NOT just say that!
Or what, do you mean pumba? Then I can agree with you.

Oh yeah, they were indeed quite ugly. Though I don't mind the old ungors, more likely the old minos and characters.

A lot of these models I like. I guess I have poor taste. Though I have to agree with the DE slaves. Terrible.
