After looking at the majority of models avalable from GW for 40k i noticed there are some very very nice models out now and comming out soon, IE the new deamon prince looks mint.

I think the best model avalable is boss snikrot, great model to paint.

The worst is defo Lord Solar Macharius damn that model sucks, id say most of the dark eldar models are crappy to but i bet once GW get there arse in gear and re make the models they will be great lookin models.

**Tyranid Horde**

The Pyrovore is horrible....

**gloomygrim**

Ugh what happened there, most of the nid units look great, the tyrant gaurd are pretty bad to.

**LordWynne**

Anything from the Emperium is horrid and must be offered to Khorne the God of Blood and War....

**Tyranid Horde**

Oh yes the Tyrant Guard should be better and the biovore/pyrovore's are massive Cock Cannons

**gloomygrim**

I dont think all the models from the emperium are horrid, some are.......just complete crap, some as a model and not as a gaming unit are great looking models, specially cortez thats a nice lookin model.

i agree the tyrant gaurd should be much better lookin models for what there ment to be. ha ha ha cock cannons thats epic!

**Tyranid Horde**

Thank you, I don't like Zoenthropes either they look like they would fall over to easily.

And I think the best model is the female Eldar Guardians. It would be good to see more of them

**gloomygrim**

Yeah the zonies look terrible as well as being unsteady lookin, the doom of the malan'tai looks ok though, the brood lord looks a bit naff n all, could have been made to look much better.

Yeah the female eldar models look pretty cool, i have 3 gaurdian squads and i took all the female and put them all in one squad, the haraquins look great to.

**nosferatu1001**

The Zoeys are, fluff wise, floating alonig on psychic energy, so therefore they SHOULD look like theyre gonna fall over...

Best model, imho, is the Macharius Vulcan - awesome, cool looking tank, fantastic looking gun.

**Tyranid Horde**

Mephiston looks too static in my opinion, and has nipples.

**gloomygrim**

Aye i agree there floating and ment to look like that but there terrible lookin models to, the unsteady look to them just adds to it.

i agree about the Macharius Vulcan its an awsome lookin model, the vanquisher looks great to.

**Brutii11**

The worst model?

Probably Sanguinor... - vomits - just, the way he, hovers there is just... - vomits again -

The best model I have is Vulkan, I love how they make him look much more threatening than an average marine and the cape gets a huge

from me.

**Chowderhead**

I HATE the Dark Eldar Incubi. They look horrible.

Best model: Grey nights. All of them.

**gloomygrim**

Vulkan is a nice lookin model and i agree about Sanguinor not a good lookin model at all, i think the ott on the gold makes him look even worse, some nasty lookin black wings and mash him together with a deamon host or the chaos lord with the jump pack and you could have a great chaos lord lol

**JSK-Fox**

Best Model - Grey KNIGHTS (we aren't talking about day and night here)
Worst Model - http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat440303a&prodId=prod1090119

It's self explanitory.

**gloomygrim**

Ha ha ha i take it back solar is not the worst model ever, the piest with lass pistol is lol. man thats just.......words fail to describe how bad it is lol

**Vindicator#9**

Chowderhead took the words right out off my mouth.

**Black Corsair**

IMO worst of ALL: old Chaplain Lemartes....

**A Matter of Pride**

Worst model? Has to be the chaos dreadnaught. Hands down worst GW model.

**Yak9UT**

Chaos Daemons Fiend Is a terrible model. How can GW make such a bad model is beyond me. They should just rename them to boob monsters if you ask me

So Sanguinor, who is an incredibly detailed and fine looking model, is terrible. Meanwhile Vulkan, who is overladen with awful bling and stuck in a non-dynamic pose that makes fethall sense is the best?

Some people, I swear.

Calling it a boob monster is an insult to boobs. At best they look like saggy, old woman boobs.

**Grey Templar**

Space pope.

Lame model AND lame rules to boot.

**raptor8**

best: vulkan

worst: witch hunter preacher

**Zip Napalm**

All Jes Goodwin models = best
Everything else = meh

**Jaon**

Worst models are the mordian collectors edition, nork deddog in imperial guard collectors, and any 2nd edition space marines (such as the apothacaries you can buy)

**SaintHazard**

Worst model is a tie between Fiends of Slaanesh (PHEAR MY THOUSAND BREASTS) and Dark Eldar Wyches (women should not be that ripped).

Best model is probably Ahriman. That model ALONE makes me want to run a CSM army.

**Exor**

Best Model - Drazhar, Master Of Blades

Worst Model - Lucius The Eternal

**gloomygrim**

I do think Sanguinor is a terrible lookin model, it may be detailed but the possition is poor and the gold armour.......yeah........

Those apothecaries look almost identical to new plastics. Nork Deddog is better than the old Ogryns, and the Mordians look pretty alright. Definitely better looking than the old metal Cadians.

His pose is supposed to be messianic, it works well enough. And "detailed with an awful pose" sums up Vulkan perfectly.

I don't understand any of you people.
