So what do you think are the ugliest models in 40k? I'm not talking nurgle, or ugly paint jobs (but those are "fun" too ) I mean just plain ugly models, Poorly designed, poorly modeled, even just ulgy from some angles, or just all around idiotic looking. lets see them!

Yeah...

You might have just won on the first try!

From my POV, this thing is hard to beat

The old tyranid warriors.... they look like killer sids from the ice age movies. Killer sloths

Guy above bet me to it.

When the thread started, its the first thing that came to mind

These came to mind for me too ha. The ugliest ones are the ones where most of the teeth have been painted.

What even is that awful ork!?!?!?!? MY EYES! THE BURN!

Stormraven (flying dumpster), centurions (yo dawg we heard you like marines so we put marines in yo marines), dark talon (lets put a church on our fighter jet)

these are vehicles and maybe not "ugly" but damn they are poorly designed.

the space hookers on vect's barge are also pretty terrible.

Is that four armed thing some sort of carnifex? D:

And those warriors look like the baby from eraser head!

Pretty sure it's an orc cheerleader from Bloodbowl.

It is indeed, if that thing was waiting for me behind my touchdown line, I'd be scoring every minute of the match.

It is indeed. There were some other vile cheerleaders from that game too.

For my money, you can't beat the Stormtalon. Just...ridiculous.

Stand back from MY GIGANTIC HAND!

The Tyranid warriors get my vote too. One reason I never played the 'nids until they got better models.

To be fair, the slave girls on Vect's barge look better without the harsh paint job.

The ork cheerleader? Ugly, but in a funny way. She's SUPPOSED to be ugly, like an Unclean one! Old warriors looked like something my cat hawked up.

Yeah...

Those models are fine (and characterful too, the SOB has a knife behind her back). It is just the paintjob that sucks balls.

on first look i didn't mind the stormraven. looking more carefully, it's pretty hideous. why did they make the wings box around the engines? flying dumpster is a good name for it.

and these:

I like those old Tyranids, although that paintjob isn't doing them any favours.

I was going to say Lord Solar Macharius, but he's not for sale any more:

Mother of Terra those old tyranids are some of the worst things I have ever seen.

I am amazed that Orc cheerleader wasn't the first post because that is the end all be all of hideous. Of course, it's supposed to be hilarious, which it is. Those tyranids... there is no hope...

Spudnids...

Sorry for the uber long links.

Old tyranids are some of my favorite 40k models, lol. I can understand how most people don't like them but to me they are a lot more "alien" then the current nids.

I personally cannot STAND old "crab-handed" Slaanesh Fiends and Seekers.

A lot of the specialist games minis are pretty bad. I've never been a fond of most Bloodbowl sculpts.

Old Tyranids. Just them.

Well I would post, but somebody put up that lovely lady before I could.

Sister dialogus? Velma with serious issues. Lol
