Everyone has some of those models out of the whole minature range that they just don't like whatsoever because of how they look. It could be the smallest detail that changes the whole look of the model, or just the whole model itself. I wanna see what people choose why.

I have a couple..

The simple Tyranid Termagaunt with devourer.

Why? Because as a creature with a fire arm grown out of it's arm, and ammunition made out of the mass it ingests, why the f* does the gun have a clip on it? Or something that almost identically resembles one? NO! Does an empty stomach not hint that there is need of food (soon to be ammo), or does the tyranid have to look at the bottum of it's arm before it can tell itself that it's low of flying critters?

Another one, the ork flash git.

After coming out with such a marvalous Kaptin Badrukk model, you dare to show such a fail of a model? A 1950's double barrelled shotgun on what is supposed to be the most 'armed-to-the-teef' of orks out there. Like... really... In a white beater.. No armour to show that it's one of the most loot-hungry green skin? Oh GW... anyway...

What do you folks choose?

Hopefully i will see my favorite picture in this thread...
The model i most dislike is the Ragnar Blackmane model... for a character that is supposed to be fast, charging and badass his model lets him down...

I bet I'm wrong here, buuuuuuut:

For me, with a helmet, the model looks quite nice, but without, Draigo's face...what were they thinking! It is an abomination to my eyes

Zoanthropes, it can't stand up.

Warning! Sorta-NSFW

^^ i LOL'ed. Capital L, O, L .

What was that from? DE?

Yea, I've seen draigo.. and the dreadknight.. It's a Greater Deamon killer but it seems one slap to the pilot and the whole thing would crumble. GK's just getting cocky.

I'm just waiting for that Ork Cheerleader to show up...

Anyway, this:

I really hate the Autarchs for Eldar. the models themselves are ok. BUT, to have all the options you need for just one of them, you have to buy 3 different models.

Seriously?!!

They really need to make it a kit, with the different heads you can swap out, all the weapons, and two sets of legs, and the jetbike.

And because of all of that, the models kinda suck.

Tomb Spyder.

I like the look reasonably well, when finished.

The irking comes in assembling the fething thing, and some of the places the mold vents were placed weren't too well thought out.. The claws also dislike staying together, or staying in the sockets without pinning..

grr..

looks-wise i'd have to say Dire avengers (killer smurfs!) and Harlequins (killer clowns!). I liked the old Cyberpunk looking Harlies better

Fiends....That is all.

Its always annoyed me how the SM bolter arms go on, the trouble I've had getting marines to hold on to their freaking bolters...

How have you had problems with them? The arms are in matched pairs, it's very difficult to screw them up. Catachan infantry squads are a whole different story, but Marines fit together smooth as butter.

A Horrible model that really just is terrible, the Image in the book portrays him far better.

Haters gona definitely hate!, what a terrible looking model with a crap pose and design.

Flying Metal Boxes!

Space Pope and his guard, If you're guarding the Space Pope then get some proper armor and weapons.

The DE slave model.

Pretty sure that can be said of any DE from before 2010.

The Chaos Dreadnought and the Great Unclea One, please! The first one urgently needs an update, after all those new SM and Ork ones! And the second one is not a pestilent Nurgle greater daemon, it's a fantasy game troll! It's not the way I imagine GUOs! T_T

I'm gonna have to give you a grammar ticket for using so many exclamation points in your post. One per sentence is all you'll ever need!

Those models have both aged very poorly; the Chaos Dread was cool in 1993 or so, but when there's 5 different plastic options for loyalist dreads it really pales in comparison. At least the Forge World ones are ace

You're right, I put too many, I'm going to edit the post; just a rage quit xD
Hope GW will realize those models need an update. And yes: at least, FW chaos dreds are very good, specially the Death Guard one...

i cannot stand the blood thirster model, its just has daemon cow writtnn on it, also Draigo is an eyesore with his transformers pose and also company command squad banner bearers, talk about a lack of dynamics

Tyrannid Hormagaunts.

They refuse to stand up.

(Bonus point in their favor: Any model that uses a single toe as the only contact point between the model and the base is gonna snap off at some point. Not that any Tau battlesuit players know about that.)

(Not shown, five of his buddies, face down on the table, and two others snapped off the base.)

Beware, this may cause severe burns to your optic nerve.

Goddard, this is for you

The now OOP "Sister Repentia" (wat) for GW's Inquisitor RPG.



Seriously. So much wasted potential. Compare that to the other 54mm miniatures like this guy.

That one stinking Genestealer who is mounted on an even smaller contact than the Hormagaunts.

Damn you Grey Templar!

The dread knight and the DE slave girls urk me the most.

Irk me? I don't know. Maybe striking scorpions. What ugly pieces of gak those are. Then again, they're insanely old, so I can't be too harsh.

DE wyches. WHY THE FETH ARE THEY ALL RUNNING. They don't even seem remotely feminine to me. Blocky chests, square jaws, tight lips, no curves, no attractive waist, idiotic hair styles and obviously 'wrong' boobs makes them my biggest irk in GW's catalog. What an atrocious failure they are. Too bad we'll have to live with them for another twenty years or so. I'll just try my best to put the most feminine heads on warriors, which are surprisingly MORE feminine.

What's wrong with this? It was an extremely limited run from FW, and quite a nice model, IMO. It could have had more detail around the armor. Just because the actual model is crappy doesn't mean you have to copy it exactly.

He could of mean't the orginial model too.
And you remember the DE slaves they fail.....
Oh and don't forget this little bogger

THE WORST MODEL OF ALL TIME!

Oh, I was actually talking about how the FW sculpt was TOO close to the metal model. They could've switched the detail up and actually made something cool out of him, instead of just a clone.


That's a cool model!

I'm not very fond of the set of Cadian legs that are standing on tiptoe with the legs right next to each other. It isn't as bad as the hormagaunt problem but it's the same basic deal. I also don't like the head with its chin strap unbuckled and helmet askew.

This....



... I know lots of people love this model, but I've always disliked it...
To me in doesn't embody one of the most feared Orkz of all time..it just comes across as saying " Hey!! Gimme your milk money!!"
