WHAT they're all awesome!

Maybe it's just the name, but personally I think the Space Pope and his guard look hilarious. I doubt I'd buy them, but I certainly wouldn't call them the worst minis. The funniest, maybe, but not the worst.

Please note the angle of the hand on that spear, based on that angle there is only one reasonable assumption of motion: he is lifting the spear about to throw it at an enemy, however, the purity seal on the spear implys that the spear is moving downwards, try the motion yourself, palm up, hand out, thrusting forwards... no. it doesnt work. his cloak is flowing freely to the models left side, but the flames on his iron halo are going to the right. wtf? the tacked on flamer under his hand? I am sorry, but that is also terribad.

I saw this one Beautiful vulkan conversion that was pretty simple but amazingly effective, ill see if i can find it again.

bad style choices and butt-ugly models are fine, crazy proportions are ok, its all subjective anyways.
but blatent technical pose problems? comeon.

Well, the ribbons on the spear at least are probably the easiest problem to fix in the history of miniatures gaming. One snip and you never have to worry about it again.

It wouldn't be too hard to get rid of the flames, either. You could also simply cut off the whole Iron Halo, and give him a new one.

Or chop it off and turn it around.

Yes, either that or you can just scratch build something else that looks equally cool, on top of which you don't have to support GW's "special" design team.

Agreed, although he could hardly be any sillier. THE WRATH OF ... well, of the Tau I suppose.

It's still on the GW website (for $2475) so it's still in production

The very worst model in Games Workshop histor is...

*drum roll*



Nagash!

If you scratch the surface you will notice he is made out of pure gold though. Either gold or chocolate, it really depends on how much you believe.

You mean 24.75$ right?

$2.5k USD?

I knew GW was doing price increases, but that seems a bit excessive for a single model.

For that kind of cash, I can afford to be serviced for a month in Thailand, airfare included!

Yeah, I missed decimal point, but that atrocity is still overpriced at $2.475 or even $0.2475

Yes... now to the chocolate.

Wrexasaur wrote:Yes... now to the chocolate.

Certainly!

Without a doubt, Nagash. His backstory was friggin' brillaint and I hope they bring him back as a character-- but he NEEDS a new model.

You know, I bet you could model Nagash off of the deceiver model...greenstuff a robe, do a headswap, etc

I think you get the point.

Has the model for Vulkan been released yet? I thought it would be funny if it turns out the halo on his back was just glued on wrong...though if it's all one piece that's a little harder to explain.

It's still a pretty bad model, though. I thought it was okay at first, but the more I look at it the more I hate it. He doesn't look anything at all like his art, and that's usually not a bad thing since Snikrot looked much better, but not in this case. His flamer looked cooler, he had the old stormtrooper-looking helmet, his spear was cooler, his armor looked all segmented and cool like a Techmarine...I'm not really sure what they were thinking.

This I have to whole heartly agree with! I bought a warbuggy yesterday just to see what the kit was like. OMFG! The copyright on the model was 1996 and it looked like it. The Orks just looked like the metal fat IG Officers they use to sell. A kit that should only take maybe an hour to clean and put together took four hours because I had to modernize the model with current Orks move the motor. The Wartrakk model is even worse that the buggy.

I'm going to put in my vote for worst ever GW model as....


Oh, on a random note, Nagash reminds me of Santa.

Sgt Rinehart wrote:Killa Kan. Maybe it's the mold, but the body halves don't fit, the legs have little or no support...

I thought it was just me. Yeah I had to do a good bit of work to get those models to come together. It also would have been nice if the legs had pins built into them because as it stands pinning is mantatory unless you wanna hold the model together forever.

The model looks good IMO. I love the killa kan look, but the kit itself is frustrating.

+1 vote for Killa Kans.

orks need a plastic killa kan kit bad. In the very least it would be nice to get some KMBs and Zookas without having to convert them. Though mixing them in with my current kan brigade will throw me off. It would be wierd to have a light kan model. The metal kans are pretty heavy.

I like Nagash.

Howard A Treesong wrote:I like Nagash.

Yes, I like Nagash too. You kids weren't around when he was first released, so you're not feeling the nostalgia factor. Anyway, as this is my thread, I hereby ban any further nominations of Nagash
