I WAS around when Nagash was first released. paid GBP9.99 for him from GW Oxford, and he does indeed suck as a model, especially as the illustration of him in the contemporaneous Warhammer Armies: Undead book was utterly fantastic. Then they let Morley sculpt Nagash as his first multi-part metal mini and that thing was the result.

chaplaingrabthar, consider this your first warning. Worship at the Altar of Morley or go elsewhere please.

(intended as humour )

Yeah. I'm more of an Arch-Goodwinite myself. Also, and I'm sure this is heretical, but I don't care for Bian Nelson styled Orc/Ork models. I liked the goofy cartoony ones better.

Flashman is speechless (but is obviously still able to type)

EDIT - about the unfathomable dislike of Brian Nelson Orks, not the practising of Goodwinism (which is perfectly acceptable).

Repent heretic!

No, I fear there is no hope for this fellow. Summon the Ordo... what would be the right branch of the inquisition for heresy against pretty damn amazing Ork sculpting.

I can't say the DE models look bad just because they happen to be my second or possibly first favorite army, but all I have to say is they definitely need an update on those metal models.


Worst model - The vampire counts fell bats. Just look at those flying pigs!

I'm suprised noone has mentioned it yet:

The worst model currently in production in my view is The Soulgrinder. The new plastic deamonettes are also not easy on the eye either.

The SM Thunderfire Cannon also looks awful. Its not even the gun that bothers me, but the techmarine who operates it looks even worse.

I actually like that Nagash model btw..

I fancy the TFC and its operator. It really doesnt look that bad, though it was a small pain to assemble, and not plastic like the instructions lead you to believe.

Man, I almost feel bad for actually liking Nagash. When not painted like a scary clown he's pretty cool.

I'm gonna go ahead and nominate all the Greater Daemons. Except the Lord of Change, he's cool. The rest look... just terrible. Especially the Great Unclean One.

Yes, seconded, especially the Great Unclean One, but then that's because Nurgle is essentially a stupid idea, news flash

Sick+Fat != Tough

So a Giant Fat Demon with lots of pimples, even well painted, looks more like, well, a reject from the Biggest Looser instead of a Wargod's Avatar.

I've noticed they still have Slick Devlan from Inquisitor in production..

The Great Unclean One looked fine until they made that alternate head. What were they thinking? At least the original had a *face*, the newer one...well I don't know what to make of it. Actually the second Bloodthirster head wasn't up to much either.

meh im sorta fond of the greater demons i like em.
but the new daemonetts are hideous! not that i demand big bewbs on every model but isnt slaanesh supposed to be the hole god of lust thing???
i dislike the 4 foot head bloodletters too i like the satanic goats better
and to finish my rant. GOD THE KANZ KIT SUCKED TO MAKE AND THE SOULD GRINDER WAS A PAIN THE !@# TOO!

sry if i was too "angry"

The Keeper of Secrets model is pretty good, aside from the new head.

The second Bloodthirster head is an improvement over the original IMO. The KOS and GUO, not so much. I liked the Bull Head/Big Face that they had.

I'd say metal Possessed, but they're out of production. I'd say all Dark Eldar besides Incubi and Scourges, but that's a given. I'd say 'Gary Morley', but that's like saying "water is wet".

So I'll go with the Chaos Ogres, Trolls and Minotaurs. They look fuggin' fugly!

Dark eldar , Just Dark eldar

+1 to new daemonettes and the Vindicare holding a pistol and a rifle like he's posing for a photo op.

the Dark Eldar plastics arent at all bad, but the other miniatures from their faction are....the new Daemonettes are awful, so is the current great unclean one...

I am almost positive I have read somewhere either here or on another site that the nagash model was made to look terrible on purpose as a bet.

No, I recognise the sculpting is great and the Nelson look is the GW Ork look these days, I just preferred them when they were soccer hooligans in space instead of hulking behemoths

meh i like both the new and the old orks the old ones make me chuckle and t he new ones make me think boy is he angry. but it got screwed up when there productions of both at once and it just looked funky

I don't know if they are in production, or if they are just trying to dump them off on punters, but:

Chaos Ogres.

Chaos Furies (saw them in a GW yesterday)

Any cartoony halfling whether from Bloodbowl, Mordheim or whatever. The LOTR ones are swish.

Ok, I cant belive you guys have forgotten him...the SM's Mk1 Veteran Sergeant. Seriously whats wrong with that guys head? (sorry for the lack of incriminating photo)

Im also gunna have to go with the entire DE line.

And (bad english I know) my final one would have to be the new Hive tyrant, why does a 12ft tall eating machine have a sword when every other monster in that guys army has sything talons?

Probably just a throwback to the old tyrant model, but I think it's awesome. Helps get rid of the stereotypical "Alien" look, also.

All the vampires in VC
Black knights in vc
blood knights, uglier than the ugliest knight, and five times as expensive to boot.
fell bats

beastmen..

Harpies

90% of the tomb kings range.

Skaven clanrats & ogres..

Ogre kingdoms.. what a neat trick, making an army out of TFG .. aka comic-guy from simpsons.

anything and everything nurgle except typhus and pickelhaube helmets.

Mr banana fingers. aka archon of the dark eldar.
Wyches.. all the right elements, but all in the wrong place.
warp beasts, cool in theory.. horrible in reality.


Any greater daemon made by GW except the current tzeentch one.

furies .. the bastard children of a varghulf and a fell bat.

new daemonettes


etc.

I just realized how dumb the daemonhost looks. I mean yea its a dude possessed by a daemon, but come on... LOOK AT IT!

I second this! And Ill add Mephiston.
While I like the characters themselves, I despise the models.

How can people not like the nurgle models?
