What's your fav item/s from FW and why?

Mine has got to be the thunderhawk with the land raider along with the Contemptor dreads. Thunderhawk because it's 400 pounds of sheer awesomeness and the Contemptor because it just looks 1000 times better than dish washers with guns.

Look forward to hearing your answers

1. Warhound Titan. Used some inheritance to get it and then got it commission built and painted. It's on a shelf above me and every time I look up at it I smile and feel a warm glow. Best self present ever, despite the earbending the missus gave me.

2. Avenger Strike Fighter. Wanted it for ages, been hinting to the wife each birthday and Christmas without success, so went ahead and bought it for myself. It's massive, looks amazing, and kicks ass on the tabletop.

My vote actualy goes to the DkoK line, as a whole alongside the Fellblade

Cataphractii, or the Reaver.

As if there can be any question:

The Marauder Bomber. I don't own it, (I've come close to purchasing it on two separate occasions) but every time I see it on FW's site I start doing mental gymnastics trying to justify buying that model. I absolutely love the aesthetic and hope at some point I'll own a B-17 in Spaaaaace! but for now it remains in my perpetual shopping cart.

My problem is when I start breaking down the negatives around the model it becomes harder to get excited about owning it.

All I can think about is that the Marauder is a giant, super-heavy flyer which is difficult to model, even more difficult to transport and store, requires customization to mount on a flight stand, and likely wouldn't see much of any table time--all for the bargain price of $300! Nope, maybe I won't ever get one.

It is so pretty though...

In terms of cool factor?

Death Korps Grenadiers. Obviously. Nothing else has the same sort of Grimdark that looks like something that could exist in real life and be real real terrifying. Second would be the Eldar Vampire (as long as you don't have to assemble it) and the DKoK Quartermaster.

In terms of usefulness on the table? Rapier Laser Destroyers. They put out a lot of hate.

For me it has to be the Forgeworld Eldar Avatar.

Pricewise it isnt like one of the huge models FW offers, so nothing unobtainable for the common man.

Lookswise, it is miles and miles ahead of the official GW Avatar who is way too short and has a ridiculous pose.

Still bothers me why GW didnt adopt this as their official Finecast model during the 2013 Eldar release and how that godawful 10 year old metal Avatar model made it into finecast instead.

To me, the FW Avatar (especially the one holding the sword with a challenging pose basically telling the entire opposing army to "bring it on") is an awesome and affordable sculpt that should be the centrepiece of every Eldar army.

The Deimos pattern Predators. Lawdy-lawd!

Sicaran and Contemptor-Mortis Dread for Imperium, Tetras for Xenos. They're useful and cool.

Now, the coolest thing FW will ever produce... 30k Thousand Sons. I so want those

Sicaran and Legion Glaive jump to mind.
I also really love the look of the Thunderbolt fighter.

For me it has to be the realm of battle Necron Tomb Citadel.

Oh god I love the R'Varna.

Nom nom dakka

CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT !!!!!

My Vulture, hands down. Marvelous model, best anti-flyer tool (it killed two Heldrakes and velocity-locked another in its best game yet).

Chaos Warhound Titan!

Bitchin!

Tyranid Hierophant, I will have one, some day:



The War Mammoth is a really sweet model as well.

I love the Space Marine turrets. I'd field an army of almost nothing but turrets if I could find a decent way to do it without breaking the bank.

All of the DKOK, the chaos psycher (I had so much fun to paint it). Korvydae, the Red Wake, they are cool models. But the Malenthrope will be my number one. Big nasty snake like monster.

Theodore Bruckner is amazing, too. Might buy him just 'cause.

I quite like the Hades Drill and the Thudd Gun, too.

I have to say, the Scorpion was one of the reasons I came back to 40k -



That and the lynx. Mmmm. I really like the Phantom Titan, but *not* the way FW have painted/posed it. I've seen much, much better versions by other people out there.

Interesting choices. Obviously I expected titans to be popular with most but great posts everyone

Effing beast. My favorite tank.

Touché that is one mutha

The tomb stalker is probably my favorite fw model, ia12 is by far my favorite item from fw

After buying two squads of them and a Praetor I'd need to say Cataphractii Terminators.

Yes they're a pain in the ass the paint and assemble

Yes they're more complicated than they would first seem

No, they don't give you any spare components at all

But good lord they're worth it. They look like John Blanche's art.

I like the renegade militia set, I bought 15 torso to start my traitor guard


Another favorite is the Red Butchers

The 30k tanks, when can Id like some variety in my motor pool, its all plastic version and bit too similar and is a bit boring if I add too many

2 of my beloveds from forgeworld.. also have a glaive, and a fellblade






now just waiting for them all to get back to me
