Currently love the Chaos Aspiring Champion finecast model.

I have him. He is awesome. What is even more awesome is that he is not even finecast. He is plastic!

**dementedwombat**

Old Tau stealthsuits rule the ground, kind of ironic since you never actually see them in universe (hate the new ones). Barracuda is the sexiest thing with wings in my opinion.

Also the Malenthrope is just so creepy and awesome.

And whatever that Necron special character is on the last page...that is amazingly cool.

Anrakyr the Traveler.

**Brother Payne**

Emperor's Champion all the way. I own 4

**Wardragoon**

Something about this guy just makes me smile, then again I like the looks of commissars

**simonlc**

Basically the model that got me into 40K (the crimson fists models from the 3rd e. rulebook.)

**Furyou Miko**

I'd have to say the Sister Hospitaller. She's just a really pretty sculpt;

Spoiler:

Other than that, the Valkyrie is awesome. I'm also quite fond of the Sunshark.

SHH! Building a flyer that dosen't use handwavium is heresy.

This model is amazing considering how old it is:

For CSM: Termi Lord and the Sorcerer with the force sword.

For IG: There's nothing quite like a Commissar.

Yup, Typhus for me!

**gwarsh41**

Typhus, an old stumpy short Terminator who still looks unholy badass. His Loyalist counterpart would be Logan Grimnar, another old school stumpy short terminator who looks sweet enough to hand with the new giant TDA.

I have a soft spot for the Space Wolves Rune Priest, the new one. I also have a soft spot for the plague hulk, but that is FW, so not sure if you will count it.

ForgeWorld Thousand Sons Dreadnought

**Dalymiddleboro**

daemonettes of slaanesh

I love this model. I imagine being some IG sergeant in some shell churned hellhole, with half a squad left looking around at the grunts, knowing more than they do, IE that you are all totally boned but unable to reflect that knowledge in any way. You're clearing your lasgun and getting ready for the next wave of orks to climb over the pile of dead and then sweep down the trench, axe murdering everyone.

You feel it before you hear it, a squeezing on the back of your neck then the slam CLAP of a sonic boom as Corvus rips through the sky, super sonic and 15 feet off the ground, belching miniature suns and trailing four brass trails of bolt casings. A huge man leaning back behind the handlebars, sweeping down with a sword taller than you are and clipping off the head of the towering warboss as his forcefields blaze and glitter under the riveting onslaught of shoota rounds. An impossible super soldier wielding technology that has been lost for ten thousand years... Such a cool, evocative figure.

Well for strong evocative thought I cant help but replace the sammael bit with a bit reflecting a Drop Pod coming in with Bjorn

**Lord Gatlas**

IC=Vulkan He'Stan. Squad=Sternguard Vets. MC=riptide battlesuit. Tank=Land Raider. Superheavy Tank=Stormlord. Titan=Warlord Titan. Flyer=Space marine Raptor. Superheavy flyer=Manta. Gargantuan creature=Heirophant. walker=dreadnought. WAAAAAGH!=Meganobs.

**PrinceRaven**

Really, the Hierophant? the spindly-legged cockroach? Over the badass bug-dragon Harridan?

**a fat guy**

Single model: Emperor's Champion.

He's always looked really cool to me, and I plan on converting one of them into a chaos lord/sorceror at some point.

Unit: Chaos Possessed.

They just look amazing really.

Oh, I forgot the flyers. The new Space marine Raptor from Forge world. Reminds me of the WWII gunships crossed with an A-10 Warthog.

How did they manage to get a red canopy on the cockpit? I've a storm eagle in the works I want to try it on...

I am using Tamiya Clear Red for the crystals on my Fire Prism. IT works well for the same effect but needs 2-3 coats for deep color.

Dark Eldar Mandrakes.

Next: Emperor´s Champion.

I love me my Warpsmith. Techmarine, Dark Mechanicus? Who knows, but he's awesome.

I love the entire DE line, but these guys take the cake.

I prefer the Hierodule, something that can gobble metal boxes and wagons in three bites.

**AnomanderRake**

Scourges, the Vulture, and the new Vanguard Veterans are my top three.

**zinogre**

death korps of krieg for infantry, fire prism fo tanks, the new hive tyrant for mc and possibly the chaos warpsmith and/or the space marine techmarines

Heirophants are friggin terrifying! It's like solid nightmares...

**labmouse42**

Dark Eldar. Hands down

**liquidjoshi**

Leman Russ Battle Tank. One looks ok, three looks decent, Ten in formation? Beautiful.

Kasrkin. Beautiful models, fun to paint, and they're still in metal (AFAIK).

Commissars or Chaplains for characters - in particular, Seraphicus vs the Lord Commissar - that guy has a fur cloak. His badass levels are through the roof.
