What is your favorite plastic kit and why.

The Scenery box (Imperial something) has been my favorite plastic so far. It comes with three different building types and there's just soooo many ways you can assemble them. BTW I used my extra pieces to make objective markers.

Ork boys kit, so many bitz.

the same as gregor, it's pretty awesome

Why computer, doth thou double post? Ist eevviill!!! eevviill!!

Ork Trukk was the most fun kit I have put together in a long time.

Stompa and Storm Sword weren't bad either(once i got the Stompa's hull to match up right)

I've also had some fun with the SW wolf pack kit.

Wraithlord- it is extrememly poseable, and exceptionally convertable for eldar kits. Also, Few things are more cool than a wraithbone giant in a heroic stance of action in the heat of battle (except perhaps an adamantium giant, but still)

Of all that I've worked with so far, I'd probably say the cadian heavy weapons team. Not only do you get so seriously many weapons and spare arms pointing in various directions bitz from it, you also get non-weapon accessories like binoculars and shovels that always wind up getting used somewhere sooner or later.

Chaos Terminator Lord. Awesome set with lots of cool options.

plastic Rackham Abberation Prime box...
the most beautifully cast, presented, and stylish kits i've ever bought...
too bad those guys shot themselves in the foot...

for Warhammer, even though i hate High Elves, i'd have to say the plastic Dragon was a huge steo in the right direction...
it doesn't have the cool factor of the Dark Elf Corsairs and Cold One Knight kits, but it's a bloody huge Dragon!!!

for 40K, it's hard to choose, but as a Space Marine junkie, i'd have to say the Commander kit...
not a bad deal on discount, and comes with the awesome combi-weapons...

cheers
jah

Trygon. So many extra pieces.

Either the DA upgrade kit or the BT upgrade kit. I love all the leftovers you get for future conversions. Also the Venerable Dreadnought is my favorite model kit because of all the extra bitz and cool sarcophagus covers that have heads. Yea I'm kind of a bitz fanatic...

Blood angels Death company kit

the kit that i've used the most is the Dryad kit, but my favorite is the Dire Avenger one, for all the exarch bits.

The venerable dreadnought for me. So many options and fun little bits.

Ork Nobz for me!

Ork Killa Kans - so many ways to assemble and so much fun in one box :-)

I could not agree more, the new kans are buckets of fun to build.

new fire prism / spinner: super-easy to magnetize, very rewarding to look at it when it's painted.

I'd say either the DA Vets, or the BA Sanguinary Guard and Death Company. The amount of extra weapons and spare parts you get is incredible.

I second this one. The Chaos Terminator Lord - if used properly -can be one of the best stretches a $20.00 kit provides. With this kit and some spare parts I made the following:

1.) Terminator Lord w/ combi melta & chainfist (also doubles as a Terminator Champ)
2.) 3x Chaos Terminators w/ different weapon options including a pair of lightning claws (utilizing some extra Black Reach Termies as starting points)
3.) Chaos Sorcerer w/ wings (this was more of a kit bash, but the head, staff, and other bits that come with this box were very iconic)
4.) Various bitz for other projects

I saved a ton of money by buying this model. I say that if you're going to buy a Chaos Terminator boxed set - this kit is a must to go with it! If you're looking to convert some Vanilla Marine Termies, it will help you out a lot.

No no no, it's the expensive chaos sentinel kit you've got it all wrong. But seriously, great kit. Lot's of nice pieces, made me feel bad to not build the kans but in the end I still got the mek feeling.

1. Fire Prism/Night Spinner, great to build and paint,
2. Carnifex, so many ways to customize and build.

Thats about it.

any ork infantry kit,
soo many things you can combine and use, almost everything can be put to use sooner or later
