What model IYO looks the best up close and from a distance

Lelith is pretty good. Also the terminator chaplain is amazing. My votes for nightmare though.

But don't forget these lot, they are frankly one of the most beautiful miniature ranges out there, IMO.

I think I just trumped quite a few best miniatures with that one link. Just take browse and you will see why.

Oh, yes. And this for general nastiness.

Sticking within 40k (as I presume OP intends)...

Dark Eldar are all over this. Lelith, Wracks, Incubi, Mandrakes, Wyches, Reavers, Razorwing, they're all equally superb.

But my personal, slightly biased favourite is my Killa Kanz.

Stalwart Dark Angels Space Marine

Definitely the Renegade Rouge Psyker model with the skull prongs. That miniature personifies the grim dark aspect of 40k just oh so well.

So a baby carrier with ridculous arms and legs with an over well gakky design beats the classic Dreadnought? I think not. The Dreadknight does not fit the Space marine feel, they aren't like the current Knights who have become mostly 'super awesome' in the kids terms but are troops and warriors who use their half dead to create new warriors, the Dreadnought is a fierce fighting engine that has a logical combat walker design.


The biggest indicator someone is a loser is them complaining about 3d printers or piracy.

For me it has to be the Talos Pain engine. Coolest model ever.

Some honorable mentions though, I like:
Astorath the Grim
Lelith Hesperax
Inquisitor Coteaz
Ork Big Mek with Shokk Attack Gun

There are a number of other really nice ones, but these ones stand out for me.

Being a good bad guy is like being a photographer, you have to wait for the right moment.

The ForgeWorld Red Scorpian Librarian is an amazing model.

A little part of me dies when it thinks of a puritan Inquisitor reading the Rites of Damnation to a heretic then throwing him off a ladder through a table.

That's definately a hard question!!! We are rather spoilt for choice!!!

I would have to put Huron as chapter master of the Astral Claws in there! In all fairness, the DE model don't do a huge amount for me!
Also the above post (the non-40k) is sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!

Personally I have to go with an old favourite from Forgeworld. The Greater Daemon of Khorne, otherwise known as the Bloodthirster;



http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Warhammer-40000/BLOODTHIRSTER-GREATER-DAEMON-OF-KHORNE.html

That model is truly a beautiful work of art. When you see it up close and painted to a very high standard it's a stunning model, absolutely stunning.

This one is pretty badass looking:


And, of couse, just about all the DE stuff, but especially Lelith:

Lelith gets my vote for being the only good looking chick GW model ever made.

"AM are bunch of half human-half robot monkeys who keep tech working by punching it with a wrench And their tech is so sophisticated that you could never get it wrapped it out" thing a LITTLE to seriously. It also goes "Tau tech is so awesome I wish I was Tau and not some stupid Human" thing.

Actually, the whole DE range has the best female models.
They actually LOOK like female athletes.

I think Forgeworld went one better with Elspeth von Draken, although she's not 40k, so she might be disqualified based on that but...

Spoiler:



It's not painted there but when it has a paint job...oh Emperor, she's nice.. Love that model.
