I just got one of the original Eldar Avatars the other week. It is crazy small, smaller than the Phoenix Lords in fact.

Despise his small demeanor he is a totally awesome miniature.

**BlapBlapBlap**

Well. I think Abaddon is butt ugly. ^^

**Samus_aran115**

Abaddon is a hideous model. Don't like any particular model except the metal daemon prince.

These guys for me the Perry Brettonian range as a whole is definitely one of my favourites http://www.solegends.com/citcat1998/1998P013-02.htm and the pair of kneeling Squires in particular.

How old are these guys?

**Imperial Renegade**

Trygon/Mawloc kit by far!

**sennacherib**

I know that i am likely alone in this but i LOVE the Ork Cheerleader. Its a shocking and bizzare Model. maybe thats why i Like it so much. i want one for my ork army.

**snake**

For 40k, have to say the termy chaplain. That thing is 40k.

I haven't followed WHFB too closely lately, but I really like the Chaos Lord on Juggernaut that was already mentioned. I also really like the new Wight King that is soon to be released for VC.

**Beany10**

In my opinion the best model has to be... *Drum-roll*

Spoiler:

**LazzurusMan**

I agree...that thing would make me gak myself if someone laid that on the floor then suddenly turned the lights on...I hate spiders...

Haha, it would be a shame if you stomped on it in panic

**puma713**

These two are amazing, imo:

and

**Orkboy1**

Easily the New Zombie Dragon, It's SSSSOOOOOOO COOL! Vampire Counts! Vampire Counts!

OH GOD MY FEET ARE FULL OF GOBLINS

**Monkey Tom**

For me it's got to be the Vyper Jetbike. I thought it was a stunning model when it first came out and it's still my favourite to this day.
It's just such a nice, well designed model. Everything about the design works.

Automatically Appended Next Post:
But the Dark Eldar Raider/Ravager kit comes in a very close second. And for all the same reasons as the Vyper Jetbike.

**Ratius**

Im gonna go out and limb and spot for this one. Havent had a jaw drop moment like it in a looooong time

We all know GW have pushed up prices yadda yadda yadda but if the quality of kits continue like this one, I cant complain as much.

**Cerebrium**

Surprised no-one's posted him yet. Such an awesome pose, and such subtle details, like the engraving on the blade.

97 or 98 I think just about when I started getting involved with GW. The Brets are the one range I think went down hill with the new plastics........

**Norn King**

Emperors champion is so boss.

I agree with this. I bought a metal one for a friend at my FLGS as a birthday present, and it was missing the shoulder spikes. Funny story though, as the other three metal ones AND the fineco$t ones still in the store were also missing them. So instead I used a leftover shoulder-spike from the terminator lord and it looks perfect.

**DPBellathrom**

for me, if we can include forge world, it HAS to be the keeper of secrets as to me that one model represents everything that is awesome about slaanesh ^_^

**inquisitorlewis**

If FW isn't out of line I just placed an order for Leipold the Black. I am not big on fantasy minis, but that one in particular has caught my attention since its release.

**tauxnimrod**

the Balrog mode =)

**Breotan**

I'm going to go with the Mortis Engine as my current favorite.

**illuknisaa**

Huh I'm so disappointed. At first there were the "ok" candidates next blood bowl started appearing. I was like "yes Yes YES soon she will emerge" but then nothing.

I'm so disappointed.

Before you look play this:

**Soo'Vah'Cha**

the GREEN KNIGHT

I think it's December 1997. When GW released also Wood Elves Scouts (or Explorers, I don't know their name in English).

**Ribon Fox**

Alarielle Everqueen and her Maiden Guard. My queen is being used in a D&D game as a high level mage

(This is not not my Alarielle)

Or the Dark Elf Witch elves. One of mine is also being uesed in a D&D game as a high level pallidin.
(Again not my mini)
