I'd have to say Tau is the worst line of models. They really need an update. I agree with what the OP says. Why don't Termagaunts have their guns built into their arms? It makes no sense. I think the MC's all have the guns built in, but not them. If they'd change that around Tyranid line would be fine.

Catachans, not much to say, the models are technically fine, they fit the "whatever the hell we want to make an army look like" IG feel, they aren't really awkward, I just do not like them.

Scratch that, they have 8 different Guard armies that they make models for, and literally dozens of more regiments that have been shown in some form with no models made.

Edit: and Elysians, 9 total Guard armies with models.

I'm not a fan of Imperial Guard simply because they seem too WWII with Las-guns. It's not that I dislike the models themselves, far from it, they're pretty good, especially the tanks, but the other armies have a more sci-fi look to them.

Apologies for talking positively about games I enjoy.

I like all of the Model Ranges. There may be specific models I don't like, but every range has one or two I don't like.

EXCEPT Catachan Guard. I hate EVERY single one of their models.

Space+Rambo=Space Rambo

Space Rambo x Laser Guns= Super Space Rambo

Super Space Rambo >= Badass

Am I missing a peice of this equation?

You're missing out the Rambo part. Rambo and space is like rotten toenail clippings and vintage champagne.

That is being sigged

But Rambo has a big gun, and an Emperor class Battleship has a big gun. An Emperor class Battleship belongs in space. Since both have big guns then both have the same properties, therefore Rambo belongs in space. Logic doesn't apply here, its the internet

Vindicators have big guns, and they don't fly through space...

I'd have to go with the sisters of battle. The whole, nuns with guns thing, is just silly and I find myself laughing at them quite a bit.

For me the absolute worst model range of the lot, the one that is so bad I would never field it on principle is the wraithguard, a dog of a model with no redeeming features, decades out of date and in desperate need of remaking.

Most of the daemons are too cartoonish for my liking. Aren't they supposed to be terrors beyond comprehension or imagining? Most of them look faintly ridiculous. Pink horrors, the beast of Nurgle, all the greater daemons. A generally pretty poor range.

The chaos dreadnought is a pretty outmoded model now, Thousand Sons look ridiculous to me, silly really and not at all martial or impressive.

The Eldar avatar is another dog of a figure, blocky, ill-proportioned and another sub-Manga knock off. Dire Avengers are too big and out of scale, their helmets are silly.

The older necrons warriors are a pretty weak line.

The nid tyrant guard is a poor effort in an otherwise pretty impressive line.

Sisters of Battle have too many old and not very good models.

Tau fire warriors I find look like children and don't have any kind of military bearing.

If I had to pick one line I would go for the daemons overall.

I honestly never liked Daemons, as there doesn't seem to be much customization available.

To the person who said marines only come in a few flavors, correct but you left out black with rerolls and PotMS vindis and robed marines with scoring termies/bikes that now others can do
