Is there a modle that you just hate? Mine is the Ork truck, way too many parts that dont fit and bad directions. Whats yours?

Plastic dark eldar warriors. Those spines that you're supposed to put on them are maddening.

Imperial Guard heavy weapon team.
Does GW really expect me to waste 80% of a box?

why not make HW sets seperated into thier own types? Like a fire support team to make a HB or AC, anti tank for a missile launcher or Lascannon, then a mortar team.

That allows each kit to be made out of a single sprue, in a smaller box, and de-emphisizes converting.
meaning they can cost $8 usd, gives capital feedback on what players actually want, and makes GW more money.

Chaos Furies. The wings keep falling off!

um you could just use all the hev weapon parts with a squad box. Make sand bag revetments to hold up the ones that don't have the tripod, and having the rocket standing, and bipod the mortar.

I love the heavy weapon box. I make a bipod heavy bolter and a tripod autocannon, and a trooper holding a rocket launcher.
I also love the trukk box. There are so many options, it's a million times better than the puny old trukk.
I hated the old landspeeder but that (or so I've heard) got fixed.
I dislike the tau fire warrior models, they never seem to fit quite right and they aren't a great looking model in general.

Why is this in the fluff section?

Yes, I have converted them. But that was more for fun. Why should I buy something I wont use.

Seperating them means that you're buying only the ones you want, meaning you can save money because you aren't buying useless bits, and GW will end up only making the ones that people use, or fix those with bad rules. Meaning that you don't spend as much buying them, and GW spends less making them.
It could work with some polish.

and why would you need that many mortars and MLs anyway?

I was wondering the same thing
However,since it is here I can honestly say the only model I have ever truly hated assembling was the old Land Raider Crusader I put together for a buddy of mine,all those bolters (shudder)

Two worst GW models?

1. Metal Hybrid Devastators. The Lascannon was ok, but that Heavy Bolter... Jesus H. Christ on a pogostick. That thing does not fit. Period. End of story. End of line. It. Does. Not. Go. Together.
2. Forge World original completely resin Stormblade. Let me sum up my feelings on that kit with the following line:

What piece of eating kill the who designed it and then throw it against a wall God-damned with a goat!

It went together in the end... and fell apart once. I despise that kit.

You can get 3 sometimes even 4 heavy weapons out of a single box if you're a little creative.

BYE

I'd also like to contest the idea that there are such things as 'useless' bits.

I'm an Ork player. It's all good.

Also, I don't know how you can possibly say the Trukk is a bad model when you compare it with the old one!

Two feeder tendril heads per box.

Anti-Mag wins.

BYE

Well thousand son are very annoying to put together, the worst thing is that its a mixture of plastic and metal.

The old metal SM veterans.

They were irritating as to put together without the limbs falling off.

The separate legs on Eldar Guardians. Why?!

Vandez is correct, Ork Trukk does indeed rock in comparrison to the last model. It has a cool skull gearstick, which nobody will ever see, but these small details appeal to me.

Agree with you on the veterans, they looks stupid too.

Land speeders,land raider (great model,severe pain in the
posterior to put together)Metal devastator units(I had to
use pliers to fix them),The original Vindicator (I still
have nightmares about it)Also I've found that numerous
plastic units are not as variable as is made out, Usually
arm A will only work with body A.

Thunderfire Cannon - Its so badly moulded that the tracks don't fit on and the two halves of the barrel don't match up. Trying to put mine together is like doing a conversion project!

Got to say I love the new ork trukk model though, no two need look the same.

The damned top heavy zoanthrope.it's such a pain to glue it together

fire prisms ... since i must make my own dam crystal ... since GW's does not and never have fitted

You don't know aggravation till you try to put the body spikes on the Hireophant BioTitan. some of those spikes are tiny like the size of one of those superfine sharpie points, not to mention there round and super smooth so there almost impossible to grab with tweezers.
Secondly the Red Terror. need i say more

H.B.M.C joins the list of people with a half baked unit. You are not alone. Thanks GW...

It's always going to be difficult to get everything on a sprue, but from what we've heard about the Ork Nobz box set, it sounds like GW is improving.

In the meantime, yes most Tyranids are very badly served by their upgrade sprues. Don't get me started on Warriors with only one pair of rending claws and the singular extended carapace segment. It's like GW wants Tyranid Warriors to get shot up by bolter fire.

Because I didnt know where else to put it. Sorry, somone tell me how and where to move it.

Yah, but none of the pecics FIT! The gun dosent fit on that little mount! And I am currently screaming at the wrecking ball for bing so hard to attach! (I still dont have them on yet, and I didnt mount the gun!)

Don't worry about it. After two editions in the dark, Tyranid Warriors are almost assured a pendulum swing in their favour come the next edition of their Codex. Might even get a re-cut sprue!

SAG Mek. He can't hold on to his gun to save his life!

hmmm.... thats a tough one... there have been so many pants models of late.

The new bloodletters. They look skinny & weak compared to the last ones

The new Daemonettes. The old ones looked like they could actually be seductive but deadly half daemon/ half women.... but now we're back to crazy crab monsters

The Soul Grinder. too much like the defiler, which I dont like anyway.

Every Dark eldar model except their skimmer-tanks & the talos.... come on GW, the dark eldar are in *serious* need of an update. Theyve been using the same models since the advent of 3rd ed. Id buy 'em if you released decent models.

The Thunderfire Cannon - it just looks stupid. It dosent look like it could actually work.

Kaptin Badrukk - brilliant idea, but Im not sold on the model. hes too... blocky.

The new Lictor & Hive Tyrant. Does anyone else feel these models are a step backwards? I thought the old hive tyrant had a really nice queen alien vibe going on, but sadly, not anymore. & the new lictor looks really unbalanced.

The new tyrant guard. I dont think I need to explain this one.

etc, etc, etc.... I could go on.
