it sure does look distorted...

I believe this model takes the cake. Not only is it ugly, but it doesn't fit with the SoBs at all.

Maybe not the worst model on their own. But compared to the beautiful sculpts they replaced, they're crap. I do not understand how they could take such a huge step backwards.

Now this is something I see said A LOT, But look at the new sculpts really look at them. There amazing all the defining lines in there muscles, the detail there hair, They look awesome.
Now the old sculpts are not bad at all its just theres less detail sure the new ones are ugly but there meant to be. So your problem lies with art style. Not sculpts

Holy throne, I'd didn't know it was that bad of a change, what were they thinking .

Not that the new ones are that bad looking, but the old ones were so much better....

Oh well.

How about this little beauty:

Could be far, far worse. At least Marines were spared the humiliation of this poor Disney-rip-off.

Giant dicks are kind of what Tyranids are all about though. I think that model's decent enough, and should probably be used in place of the fugly Biovore model.

Heavy would not use such a puny gun.

Plus it doesn't fire sandviches

I was reading through the Chaos Space Marines codex last night when I came across one of my least favorite figures in recent memory:


This guy. This guy right here. The reasons why he's terrible are as follows:
- Terrible, terrible pose. Static, head-on poses like this were okay in 2nd edition and early 3rd ed. This model came out in 2006 or 2007, and that's just unacceptable.
- Stupid, stupid face. He's just looking moderately pissed off at something to his left.
- That bizarre chain triangle thing on his back. It makes no sense, has no precedent among Chaos Marines or any other figures, and completely messes up the silhouette of the model.
- The complete and utter symmetry of the model. Aside from his face looking to his left and some minor variation on his shin, this model is symmetrical. Symmetry is boring; even the "at ease" Imperial Guardsmen had some asymmetrical details.

I hate this model so damn much, because the promise for a cool raptor HQ is so strong, but this model fails to deliver in every way.

Plasma Gunner: Uhm... I don't know if this is a good idea. What if this thing overheats?"

Melta Gunner: Shut up, it's time to kill xenos and chew up bubblegum.

Not the worst looking, but poorly thought out. Its going to get a bit bloody when he holds on.

Generally we prefer it if people don't dig up threads that are quite this old, but given the topic matter we'll let that slide for now.

Please watch the posting dates in future though please !

Horrific.

People, you are not supposed to fap at daemonettes.
I find the new ones fantastic for one. Less fan-service, more Chaos.

I have to nominate the Fiends.



Might be intentional, but I always feel like that thing is going to give me an epileptic seizure...

Your opinion is wrong.

GW messed up BIG TIME with those corset-things.

I don't mind these one too much. They really need to redo the sisters of battle though. A few new plastic kits and for emperors sakes a new codex of their own! Not just some articles in WD. If they came out with some new stuff for them I'd pick the up as a army. If they actually put some effort into them the sisters of battle would be pretty cool.

Hey! I just started a sob army! Still, see your point. The old sob models make me nostalgic, though. Most old stuff do, but the older IG like valhallans or mordians have terrible looking lasguns...
