So I'm asking the question which do you think is the coolest miniature in 40k. The only two criteria are how useful they are and how good the look. They have to be current GW productions and I'm not talking about conversions.

For example the DE Mandrakes are my choice for the best looking but just about useless in game.

Or Captain Tycho who is a living god on the battle field but... well take a look

And then theres these guys, Necron Imortals. They play brilliantly, look fantastic but are OOP =/

Anyway my entry for the coolest model is this guy. Looks badass; is badass.

imo anyway, what do you think?

**Bobthehero**

Much better rulewise after the 6th ed update

**Wyzilla**

Chaos Raptors/Warp Talons, easily the most gorgeous GW Chaos unit and I happily await to buy this kit along with the CSM battleforce once I clear an area in my (cramped) living quarters to paint.

**Nevzara**

Wow those raptors are gorgeous =O

Just a beautiful model, the more I look at it the more I want it.

**Blackhair Duckshape**

Deathmarks are just damn sexy when painted correctly, i.e. not the way GW does it

Gross.

**Nevzara**

Death marks ARE sexy but I don't know about useful

They make a truly terrifying retinue for a Harbinger of Despair, since the Harbinger inherits their 2+ to wound rule.

Personally for me, though, it's this;

Beautiful model, and so useful in game.

**Nevzara**

Who is that?

**Furyou Miko**

Sister Hospitaller. She's part of the Sororitas Command Squad. Standard Sororitas stat line, Character rule, grants the squad Feel No Pain, armed with Bolt Pistol, Frag and Krak grenades and Power Armour.

**PrinceRaven**

Awesome looking model, fantastic on the battlefield, my vote for coolest model goes to the winged Hive Tyrant:

**ductvader**

The Crimson Hunter...

Just look at those curves!

I laid down the cash as soon as my store got the pricing on it, didn't care what the rules were.

**Glorywarrior**

I think Mephy is the best, but I don't have a pic, sorry.

**FinecastPraisesNurgle**

Lovely sculpt.

Love the posing, makes my eldar jetbikes look like a 1950's nuclear family cycling to a picnic in the country, where there will be scones.

**Elgrun**

Cypher obviously

**gossipmeng**

DKoK grenadiers get my vote

**mad_eddy_13**

I love the lowly scout sentinel - finally a walker that looks like a rugged war machine.

(and kicks a fair bit of ass...)

**DanielBeaver**

Dreadnoughts are cool looking in general, but I think the Grey Knights venerable dread looks particularly snazzy

I'm also fond of the pose used for the Emperor's Chapion

**Knockagh**

Inquisitor sol

One of my favorite models of all time. Just such an amazing aircraft, and actually would be semi-flyable in real life.

**Trondheim**

This gets my vote

**ace101**

Cuz Captain Titus is in there with his Heavy Flamer, and Sidonus with the Combi-Melta

**Nevzara**

I recon the best two are the chaos raptor/warp talons and the GK vulnerable dread

**God In Action**

Deathriders! One of the top 10 models produced, and a roughrider that is genuinely competent at killing stuff. Watch your opponent's face when your guard army is charging him.

**Shadelkan**

Dat Spyder! I painted three, and I loved the entire process.

**Waaaghpower**

Canis Wolfborn, definitely. Just such a gorgeous design, hands down my favorite of all time.

**PrehistoricUFO**

As always:

My other favorites are the Trygon, and Riptide, Calgar is an awesome sculpt too.

**tomjoad**

I was thinking Death Riders as soon as I read the first post. Lots of cool stuff here, but they are my all time favorites.

**Zothos**

I am a big fan of the Daemon Prince. Not the plastic one. The one that started as metal.

Ugh, really?

The "fur" on his wolf looks more like thousands of little worms have burrowed their way out of its skin.
