Big fan of Sereant Centurius the special ed character from the Legion of the Damned, but the latest Death Jester is my number 1 40k model I think.
Fantasy wise, I would go with the dwarf lord posted earlier. It is is cracking.
Why do I keep thinking about penetent engines.......hmmmm there is a thought, possibly the coolest looking vehicle ever.

I still like the Khorne Lord on Juggernaut though!

Actually, I hate that model. He looks like a Clown!!!

I just love the sculpt on Coteaz.

The Terminator Chaplain is like the quintessential 40k model. Covered in skulls, gothic as hell, and he looks like he wants to smash your blaspheming face.

**Ascalam**

Grom the Paunch's chariot (no pic on hand)

Talos/Chronos kit was just jaw dropping.

Scourges

And for it's time, the Monolith. Back when it was released eveything else looked TINY next to it, and it was damn near indestructable...

Necrons were scary, back then

Also the lovely Lhamean for DE. I jsut got a zero-flaw finecast of her, and now i want to make a whole unit of them ... i know..i know..

**malfred**

This is my favorite.

**-Loki-**

Mr Carnifex

Overshadowed recently by the Trygon due to better rules, but the Carnifex is still the most badass model.

**Schmapdi**

Hmm - probably this one:

I've owned him for a few years now too - I really need to paint him up :/

**Ratius**

Still this guy for me

**Norn King**

I dunno..

**Fists of the emperor**

You went with the scrawny chicken for best model ever.

The Imperial Guard Commisar Lord is my favourite model over the last 14 years or so. Amazingly I havent picked it up yet...

These guys, especially their Sergeant.

http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat440248a&prodId=prod1070099

He I like even though he seems to have every little going for him.

The Adeptus Arbites models I love even though they're really simple.

The OC-D

**Norn King**

@KilroyKiljoy
the freehand on that banner is amazing!

**SagesStone**

Except for the lazy doors.

**Norn King**

Yeah, they should have continued that gold/white design around. O well, still looks damn good!

**Morathi's Darkest Sin**

One of these five, don't try and make me choose!!

Spoiler:

All of those are awesome figs in their own ways, not sure which one I'd say is top for me.

**Pacific**

Ah, someone posted a greater daemon!

In terms of having the most impact on me, it will have to be this guy:

For me, this is one of the true representations of Chaos in that it makes you go "what the hell?" when you look at it.
Not a skull in sight, it is such an esoteric model - it makes you want to know more about what it is, as well as just being damned weird!

I think somewhere along the road, since the heady days of the Realms of Chaos book, something has been lost in the conception of Chaos, and nowadays the most extreme screaming face or largest collection of skulls seems to be the desired effect. 'Chaos' was never meant to be just about that - it was always the 'alternative' world view, of living outside normality and causality, that unknown that always holds the greatest attraction to humanity - but once you go there, and you try and understand it, you can't go back!

So for me, this was a really evocative piece, and made me want to know more about the forbidden sides of nature..

All that plus the boob! A model just doesn't yell slaanesh without at least one giant booby!

**Norn King**

LOL!

**Grot 6**

The snotlings flipping the bird. There was another one that was relieving himself in a helmet, but those old rt era snotlings are some of the funniest ones that ever came out.

I want one too! Where can I find that? Is it still in production?
Oh wait. Isn't that some special mini that was released for some specific event or something?

Just checked them out for the first time. Caused a really big smile on my face.

**English Assassin**

Props to the suggestions of the Halfling Hot Pot and 'not Nagash'. For me, though I know's he showing his age now, Chief Librarian Ezekiel is still a great miniature.

/Thread.

I don't even play WOC, but he's the best model ever.

QFT. 4-armed Minotaur with a tit hanging out = pure win.

**Midnightdeathblade**

Vulkan He'stan all the way. I may be a salamander nut, but I can't get over his epicness.

**Rocky1**

I love some of the newer kits.The terrorgheist is amazing and the new nurgle lord is very cool.

**marv335**

I've always liked Logan Grimnar, and Lilith is a fantastic model too.
It's hard to call, a lot of the newer stuff is fantastic, the new plastics especially

When you look at the detail and dynamics of some of the recent sculpts choosing becomes an impossible task.

For My Orks, Snikrot, Zagstruuk, and the Stormboys, well, you can't argue with quality like that.
I may not agree with the pricing or the release schedule, but I can't argue about the quality of the sculpts that are coming out these days.
