I did check for an existing thread, apologies if one exists, but given we have a thread for the worst GW model, how about the best?

My money goes to the Voidraven Bomber - futuristic, sleek, curvy and yet very alien looking.

If I had to give it to only one model, it'd go to the Chaos Lord on a Juggernaut: http://www.games-workshop.com/resources/catalog/product/600x620/99810201004_KhorneLordonJuggernautNEW01.jpg

In second place, the Emperor's champion (Pictured above)

In third, Shadowblade (Pictured above)

The Dakkajet is still one of my absolute favorite models in all of 40K, and I don't even play Orks.

SG

The Onager Dunecrawler is my current favorite, I started a skitarii army based almost solely on wanting one. But the new Stormcast winged champion is catching my eye too...

Three posts already and no mention of this guy?

My personal favorite are deff dreads. They're awful on the tabletop, but I can't stop picking them up because I just love the model.

Baneblade. That thing looks like it'll mess your day up and look stylish while doing so.

Lokhir Fellheart, yes. Going to be converting him to a DE Archon at some point.

Most of the DE stuff is just brilliant. Kabalite warriors, Incubi, Mandrakes, their jets, their bikes...

Nid Hive Crone or Eldar Crimson Hunter.
Evocative and darn right sexy.

I've always had a soft spot for Killa Kans, don't know why... Also, TWC are just brutal.

Currently it's a toss up between the Commando Nob and the DKOK commissars.

Orks: hard to choose. In terms of what you can do with it though the Battlewagon with upgrade kit is the big winner. So much vehicle conversion potential.

Harlequins: the troupe kit is, I would say, the best designed MPPK GW has ever done. The default poses are striking and cool-but the really amazing part is just how much cudtomizability was built into the parts. Someone with clippers and greenstuff can create any acrobatic pose they like with incredible ease.

Sgt Centurius.

I really like the Ork Stompa.

Inquisitor Coteaz is my favorite for 40K.

http://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Grey-Knights-Inquisitor-Coteaz

And honestly, most of the new Fantasy figurines from The End Times and AoS looks super awesome.

For Me Nagash takes the cake (except for the head of his staff)
http://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Nagash

Krell, Lord of Undeath and the Wight King are pretty sweet models too.

Does Forge World count?

Forge world is part of GW so I was wondering the same thing. I assume you are just asking for GW products of the main branch and not their sub company.

For me it's a tie between the Riptide or General Shadowsun (I like the one with the helm more than the one without it).

I just think this is what power armour should look like, it's not bulky but still looks imposing. I also just like the Stealth Suits Tau have, and this one is such a perfected looking version of them:

The Scions, DKoK Grenadiers, Bret Lord on Foot, Empire Greatswords.

For this last one, it's not so much the model itself, but the base I feel is truly amazing.

I tried, but it is too hard to just choose one. If I were forced to, I'd probably pick the lord on daemonic mount, for some reason that one appeals to me very strongly.
Chaos Lord on Daemonic Mount:

But these others are equally great:

Knights of Rivendell:

Krell, Lord of Undeath:

Ironbreaker Command:

Voidraven Bomber:

Vostroyan Officer with Power Sword:

Gazbag the Goblin (and his Orc Warboss buddy Grumlok)

Oddly for me, this simple guy:

The gun arm may change but he always becomes an important character in a SM army.
Enough detail without being busy and is a pleasure to paint.

What is he, a relictor? Not familiar with 'grey death legion'

The best has to be Sammael. Great dynamic model, very baroque, gorgeous.

For forgeworld my favorite has always been the Elysian colonel with a power fist. Not some super monster demon but absolutely a dude not to be f-ed with. They really nailed the feeling with that one.

favorite model = the new dark eldar haemonculus,

second favorite = the voidraven bomber.

third favorite = basilisk.

Mine would be the sisters exorcist. it's a pain in the butt to build but it has that gothic cathedral feel about it

So...ummm...I NEED Sevrin Loth's mini so I can put a Crimson Fists shoulder armor on him. Absolutely stunning.

I am partial to Pedro Kantor's model, and this has nothing to do with me being a Crimson Fists player. He is part of the reason I play Crimson Fists, period.

I really like the Jump Pack Chaplain. Also really like the new Interrogator Chaplain.

Not counting FW, the best GW model I believe is this guy



Actually pretty much all the mounted Fantasy Chaos Lords





Also, the Space Marine Terminator Chaplain, as previously noted, super ace model.


As for a general squad, including FW, the DKoK Grenadiers really are probably the coolest.

Favorite models from the armies I play:
Dark Angels: Nephilim Jetfighter. So much better looking than the other Imperial flyers.
Khorne Daemonkin: Bloodthirster of Insensate Rage. Badass angry Daemon with an axe to grind!
Tau Empire: Toss-up between the Cadre Fireblade and the Railrifle Broadside suit. Fireblade's pose is suitable for a leader of the Fire Warriors, and the RailSide is pretty awesome when posed right (too bad they aren't that good in the game though )
