The assault on black reach deffkoptas, good to look at, but poorly designed, they don't fit together properly

That's coz they only fit with glue, rubber bands and a whole lot of modelling putty.

Got that right...

I agree. I have a couple of the AoBR deffkoptas. Spent way more time than I would have wanted cleaning up some of the models.

However, don't you kind of get what you're paying for? Don't get me wrong, AoBR is still a great deal, but that many models for that small a price.... you've got to figure GW had to cut corners in a couple of spots to come out with a profit margin...

A NEW CHALLENGER HAS APPEARED!

The head on that wolf is awful! If you cover it up, the model's not bad.

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww, a puppy!

It looks like hes going :

OH A BONE , A BONE , CAN I FETCH ?

And his eyes ? My god , what are they feeding them ? Shrooms ?

I'm trying to figure out why, of all the weapons to use while mounted, he chose the ones with the least reach? And how does he get down without hurting the 'wolf'.

How does he even get up there?

That's easily the stupidest model in recent GW history, both from a concept standpoint and an execution standpoint.

Just showed my GF the SW Wolf Rider and she instantly commented that it looks like a WoW mount, perhaps appealing to the WoW kids might have provided the motivation for the bizarre proportions.

I feel like such a loser for the amount of laughs this thread has given me, especially the stuff on the DE archon, classic.

Now ive seen they can be fielded in 40k, I'd like to add chaos furies.

I bought a pack and binned them about 2 days later



They make me shudder :|

I can't believe the hate on the new deaaeeaemonettes, I think they look great at least. The bloodletters look good but definately too spindly, need to be more like skulltaker.

The IG rough riders also have to be in here, always detested those models, eueugh

that one gave me a good rofl

I like the Furies because they're ugly. And because I have to justify owning 30 of the damned things.

The current plastic Daemons all suffer from nostalgiaitis. The spindly Bloodletters are fine, but I prefer the big beefy ones from the previous edition. The previous Daemonettes are incredible, so in comparison the new ones are just gak.

Alright, so this one is Forgeworld rather than GW, but I figured that was still allowed....

I present, the 'Plague Ogryn'.



I mean, look at it! It's just a pile of dog doo. you could pretty much just look down the back of your sofa, find some random bits of crud, slap some GS on it, smooth it a bit and you'd have this model. And they charge you almost £15 for it! Ludicrous.

Well, to be honest mounted swordsmen were intended to slash near the heads of their foes. If he's just swinging his lighting claws as such, that's fairly effective.

I'm the one person on the planet who likes that model.

The worse model out right now is the Exosist tank. I have to shave parts and green stuff so much to get that top to fit right.

Having just put a Lord of Change together (again), I'd nomimate that for purely being a pain to put together. There's way too much weight standing on a very small area (one foot, which itself is two parts), as one leg is in the air. The staff only fits in one or two positions because of the wings, and you'd have to use Green Stuff to fill the gap between the wings. It's tough to pin the problem parts too, with them being so thin.

As far as sculpts though, the Dark Eldar Lord that was mentioned is awful (even though the face is someone else's skin, he looks ridiculous with the huge shoulders and claw). That new SW guy riding the wolf is horrendous too.

Sort of on-topic: Anyone who's built Chaos Raptors (the newer style ones)- do they balance ok? They look really ubstable when I look at them on GW's site.

I forgot how crummy the old Chaos Furies were. The bowling team from Hell!

What about the old old harpies then, the unicorn flying monkey squadron... fething hideous.

It's not that bad. I mean, it's supposed to look blobby and disgusting, and it does. It's fairly well sculpted, even if the end result is hideous.

Not that bad? Do you have eyes? It's abhorrent! And not in a good way. It's not that well sculpted - compare it to their other demon work, or some of the other infantry sized models. This really is just quick, easy, sloppy modelling.

Sorry, but this is just pure gak.

RAR!!!!

To be honest, I don't care about Lemartes - he's an easy model to replace with a plastic conversion.

DD, i think the origional BA chappy with a pack would look better
But the current jump chappy they have is too good to pass up lol

The Dark Eldar Archon, definitely. Mostly because of that horrible face. He would look silly if he had a regular face, but with that stretched skin he looks hideous, and not in the good "look at me i've evil" way, more like the "If you don't look at me closely enough it looks like I am just a giant head attached to a 25mm base"

Every time I see that model, I instantly break out laughing. I can't wait to see the first crappy 12-y-o paint job on that.

Not that I'm a bad painter, but anything I put on that will make it look better. But the second pic can't get better. Pure Genious

Marine on epic mount: Good Idea
Silly face for the mount: Very bad idea
Space Wolf on Wolf: To many furry jokes so bad idea
