I consider Jain Zar to be one of the finest things GW ever released, considering her age, that model is superb and cutting edge in dynamism of pose.

My vote for worst miniature in production is definitely the Bloodcrusher. And by worst, I don't mean it looks bad. I think it's pretty bad ass, personally. But my god...assembly...

I can't get the head-collar-body to line up right. The collar seems like it's been squished a little out of shape, and just needs a little squeeze to get it back to the right shape. The problem: it's covered in hard metal spikes, so it's impossible to squeeze it back into shape. And the rest of it is awful too. The one I've managed to partially assemble so far is mostly held together by a mixture of Zip-kicker and hate.

Bad enough that the damn things have to be so expensive (62.5 cents per point does not lend itself to a cost-effective army), but then you have the added insult of a model that I'm quite sure will have blood streaks on it by the time it's done, not to mention superglued layers of skin in the joints. At least it'll be Khornate.

I have a new vote

Nah, that's Chapter 3 after the mandatory safety guideline chapter and "Chapter 2: So now you have to use the toilet."

Hmm that brings up a big question. How does Calgar go to little boys room with two hulking powerfists, I mean does he have somebody to wipe for him?

All Marines go in their suits. Like Astronauts.

What, i thaught you could go in the suit. You know, like the astronauts
OMG, i love Family guy

I actually have my Inquisitor modeled while reading a book, but at least in my mind his pose more "You bothered me while I was trying to read. I have a plasma pistol. Do you want to rethink that?" as opposed to 'studying on the battlefield.'

This thread keeps coming back to life lol.

The monolith is probably the worst mini created by GW, vehicle wise. Dammit, lack of innovation and blank featureless models!

That commissar isn't studying, he's reading some inspiring passage of the Uplifting Primer to his men. Before killing one of the cowardly scum to make an example.

Dark Eldar

IvanTih wrote:Dark Eldar

Actually, the Incubi models aren't too bad (could just use thinner, pointier weapons) and The Master of Blades is a fairly epic model!

Come on guys, surely you can do better than posting the umpteenth rip on the 1998 Dark Eldar range (I was there, I remember)?

Take this guy: http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat1120033&prodId=prod1170211

My guess is that the sculptors tear off failed GS from their "proper" sculpts, stuff it in a trash pile somewhere and forget about it, until somedy puts an ork head on top and says "OMFG thats a fine nurgle daemon". It has happened in the past and it will happen again.

I actually dig the Lemartes model. The empty eyesockets look a lot more grim than the "I'm a deep sea fish that has been rapidly dragged to the surface and can't handle the pressure difference"-peepers that some other chaplains have. And stop it right there, Khârn is GREAT! Possibly the best GW miniature ever, next to the Imperial Guard missionary with chainsword.

I do not think we will have long to wait, the new Tyranid line will have a stinker or two

I am already voting for the "Toxinthrope". . .



I am all for having fun in the bedroom.. but you can only use so many whips.

It is a freaking pewter model, what the hell where they thinking? It has one attachment point on the base, its obviously very top heavy.

I think most players will be better off converting one from a Carnifex and either a Plastic Ravener or a Zoanthrope bottom.

I think my favorite part about that mini is in the description:

Games Workshop wrote:Chaos Space Marine Emperor's Children Lord

Once a Legion dedicated to perfection in all its pursuits, the Emperor's Children succumbed to the call of forbidden knowledge, making them easy victums for the God of Pleasure.

This set contains 1 metal Emperor's Children Lord.

Because proofreading is for newbs.

In a similar vein to metallifan, I'm mildly amused by the surprisingly accurate description of this figure on the website - The Beast of Nurgle is a truly horrendous aberration.

The problem with Lemartes isn't the deep eye sockets - it's the ridiculous disco pose and completely horizontal purity seals. That figure is awful - and this is coming from an avid collector of RT/2nd ed models here.

Realy I think this is the worst thing in the DE range:

Isnt that the whole point of necrons?

Mad Doc Grotsnik wrote:Still don't get why people don't like the Sorceress. Not to worry though.

For my bet, probably the Catachans. Compared to the original metals, they just aren't all that and a bag of potato chips!

WHAT? As if you don't like them they make perfect Penal Legionnaires...

Actually, the reason why they painted her with her skin black is...well...you don't want to know.

Just the fact that her labia is exposed is just...well...yeah.

:edit:

Also, when I read the 'victums' portion of it, all I could think of was Commander Boreal saying that.

"Spess Mehreens! We ah victums of ah turrahbul uhtack! We must take ouh revenge on them! By the Empra's duhvien fuhry!"

That's not really fair is it? I have a certain fondness for them and they were nothing to complain about back in their day.
