The Hammerhead. It reminds me of a large, cybernetic scorpion. the sensor suite is the head, and it has two claws (the burst cannons) on the front, but the really deadly part, the tail (the railgun) starts from the back and swings over the head, and it packs a punch!

That's definitely not a fair question.  GW produces way too many awesome models to classify just one as my favorite.
I guess my top ten would be something along the lines of:
Ahriman
Celestine
Trygon
Great Unclean One
Lord of Change
Sergeant Telion
Tau Fire Warriors
Eldar Jetbikes
AoBR Deffkoptaz
Plastic Venerable Dreadnought
In no particular order.
Though I could add more to that list.

Although there are lots of other great models out there and the kits - such as vehicles - are great if sorely underestimated. I mean, lets be honest, Vindicators look freakin' awesome!

I enjoy many models but one of my favorites is the Space Marine Chaplain in terminator armor. Though that Khorne lord... man I've never seen that model before... it's pretty sick.

Gotta say my favorite model ever produced by GW is the Tyranid Carnifex. I love that model so much, that event though I'll probably never play nids, I bought one to assemble and paint.
I personally think the Grey Knights (Terminators and Power Armor) rank up there and deserve an honorable mention, along with the IG Valkyrie and that blood crusher with the Khorne champion up there.

Sticking to 40k I'd say the terminator Chaplain at top. Then some other guys like Yriel, Kantor, Chaos termie lord, and the witch hunter inquisitor lord, because the hat.

Growlin' Guntrukk Driver with Killacannon

I like the grey knight termiators, they have a lot of detail on them and they just look bad-ass, they are pretty dated though.
The Termi-chaplain is also a great model, one of the better SM models imo.
As far as vehicles go, the humble ork trukk has a lot of cool parts, and it looks apropriately 'ramshackle', the new walker kits are sweet too, but I like the LRBT as well, a nice big model with a lot of extra bits.
I never saw that Khorne lord before now, but he looks pretty awesome too.
EDIT: I would like to add that kommandos would be REALLY REALLY COOL if they weren't metal and expensive :(

You can thank Chipposai (the guy i tasked with making it) for that. Here's the Link http://commorragh.proboards.com/index.cgi. It is a fledgling Forum, so tell your friends about it if you like. Anyways, I saw the dudes avatar at the top of the page and just happened to have a similar pic (Gentlemen meme) saved to my harddrive, so i felt it was appropriate for a good laugh.

Ezekial is one of my favourites, so is Cypher. The Daemon Prince model is nice too. I admit that I like the look of the Space Wolf 13th Company of the Wulfen models, except for the one with the bolt pistol and the one with the feathers...
Throne of Terra that Khorne Lord looks the gaks!

Also littlenibbler Orks aren't about armour saves.
Orks are about having too many models on the table, and wasting the other guy's time with your movement phase.
Orks are about having the toughest units on the table.
Orks are about not caring about how many bodies are left in a long winding trail until the squad is down to less than a third its starting strength.
Orks are about rolling more dice then you can count without the aid of a calculator or a pen and paper.
Orks are about having totally fething insane characters tearing gak down like Doc Grotsnik, Ghazghkull or Snikrot.

I'm going to get that Khorne Lord on Jugger at some point, it's just sublime. Other than that there's quite a few that grab me at the moment, although many of them are FW.
