Whats ure favorite miniature?
mine is this

His badassery never ceases to amaze me. Too bad he isn't very good game wise

That is quite a cool model

I think this is still the 'coolest' model I've ever seen;

He's not bad if you run the black templar codex. Thats why I have 5 chaplains in total for my templar

I've never noticed before now, that Chaplains feet. Kind of ruins the model a bit for me, just doesn't seem right.

I've painted Typhus 3 times.

I also love the Ork Bigmek with KFG.

I think the SoB pulling the grenade pin with her teeth is pretty kick-ass as well.

This is probably the Coolest Mini from GW (Forgeworld) that GW has ever made:

Karandras is my favorite

Im not sure why but something about a ship with sixteen Long-Barrelled Burst Cannon, six Long-Barrelled Ion Cannon, two Heavy Rail Guns, Missile Pods and battery of Seeker Missiles as well as a Networked Markerlight turret and a 4+ invun that can carry soming like 180 tau and has room to spare for battle suits and tanks makes me want to join tau

The DE razorwing, poetry in motion.

Grey Knight Dreadknight.

What a Space Marine Walker should have been from the start instead of boxes on stunty-legs.

true that

Space Marine walkers are like those walkers from star wars, how they got away with that I'll never know

This is what a Space Marine walker should look like. Infinitely better the the fugly baby carrier and the washing machine on legs.

I disagree. Forgeworld thing is a) ugly, b) still horribly unbalanced if it would lift a leg due to the stupid axle for a hip and c) still not in-line with the general space marine aesthetic like the Dreadknight with is more "space-marine"-style rounded pauldrons, arms and legs.

Dreadknight is the infinitly superiour sculpt and simply far cooler to look at.

Did you really just say the Dreadknight is a superior sculpt and better to look at? Lulz.

Is that walker you speak of danceing?

Well. Most dog turds I've seen are better to look at than the fugly FW-hackjob. So that isn't a particularly high bar, even for less convincing minis than the Dreadknight. The Washingmachine-Dreads, though the should've been discontinued some years ago, at least still have the excuse of "design-limitations" for full-metal minis produced in the early 1990s.

I have to ask...how do you consider the dreadknight to be an awesome model? Let alone in the top 40. I have to assume you're joking, or else we need to get you in to see a specialist-fast!! Dreadnoughts aren't perfect out of the box, but some good conversion work can make them epic. Personally, I love the new plastic daemon prince. I painted mine in NM colors and named him sergeant mcfistypants. He has crack fingers and looks like he's going to violate a hooker's danger zone.

This guy alone made me start WoC.


This is also one of my fav wh40k models:

Well, something about bad-ass giant robot-walker war machines appeals to me deep inside. I blame years of watching Aliens, playing Battletech, and stuff like that.

Unfortunatly, GW didn't produce a cool one (e.g. only fugly boxes on stubby-legs where I don't know if I should cry or laugh or both everytime I see them). But the wait was worth it I guess for the awsomeness of the Dreadknight. To me, it is not only the top 40. It's easily in the top 3 and not at last place.

Haters gonna hate and all that.

Aliens, matrix and avatar were all good walkers. Dreadknight? Ehhhhh... I personally know one guy out of thirty wargaming friends who likes it. Still can't figure out why he's mixing chemicals under the sink into a cocktail.

Wasn't the question of this thread. Question was what my favorite mini is. Not what the average taste of your deluded friends would be, even though one non-sheep with the ability to form an opinion on his own and still willing to hang out with you leaves some hope for you as well.

To answer the OP> Nemesis Dreadknight (AND I don't even play Grey Knights.... yet perhaps)

I do and dreads are EPIC they have wounds and better weapons they play football with dreadnoughts

The Dread model is AWESOME. If you give it heavy Psycannon and Great Sword it looks mean.
