since i love topics like this

what's everyone's favorite character model

bonus points for the older ones that age like a fine wine.

http://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Phoenix-Lord-Maugan-Ra mine despite being a marine player. Guy looks dam good for his age.

**Taffy17**

Either the painboy or Snikrot, don't even collect orks but they both have so much character, emotion, menace and cheekiness.

**Selym**

Helbrecht. Just look at that menacing face.

If his rules fit his fluff, that'd be badass too.

**HoundsofDemos**

One thing i will give GW lately is that there models have been good.

But something about some of the older ones just still wow me.

**War Kitten**

I like the Succubus model for DE, gives me the impression that she's about to start slicing off some heads.

**SharkoutofWata**

Necron Destroyer Lord. Very dynamic 'Kill them over that way!' pose. Or 'Shoot that way chucklefeth'. Always makes me laugh. But I also really like Huron's pose. The extended claw with the Flamer nozzle pointed at his enemy is very easy to make incredibly better with a bit of liquid modeling for dribbles of promethium.

**Grimskul**

Mine's probably between Kaptin Badrukk or Boss Zagstruk. Zagstruk has an awesome dynamic pose whereas Badrukk oozes that Freeboota feel with his pose and flash git bling all around him.

Huron blackheart is one of my favs. Also colonel straken for classic Vietnam war cyber commando coolness

I really hope you're talking about Forgeworld's version of Huron, and not GW's.
Because FW's Huron is awesome, GW's is derptastic.

Anyway, my favorite is one that didn't get released. The alternative sculpt for Fulgrim, while mostly just cutting and swapping the arms, also has a different head:

**drunken0elf**

I love st-celestine. I don't know why her model amazes me so much.

http://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Sisters-of-Battle-Celestine-the-Living-Saint

And another one I like quite a bit is Inquisitor CrazyPantsOff

http://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Grey-Knights-Inquisitor-Karamazov

**HoundsofDemos**

how old is karamazov?

**Selym**

Lots. He's lots old.

**Trondheim**

My favorit has been the Wraithlord although it is not a spessefic characther model.
As for characthers I am partial to the Ferrus Magnus one

**Draco**

Fulgrim is best looking. GW has warpsmith.

**Exalbaru**

Agreed with Karamazov, his model is super legit. So many details, I need to start painting mine.

**sing your life**

It's got to be either or Curze or The Emperor's Champion for me:

**Vankraken**

The Ork Weirdboy is a really cool looking model. Got the little grots holding the chains as Weirdboyz are often used against their own will. If you follow the chains it has a pulley on his back to pull the staff arm up force him to cast powers. Not really an overly complicated model but it definitely tells a story while being awesome to look at. If only it wasn't finecast........

**Paradigm**

Any answer that is not Horus is wrong!

Possibly the coolest model ever made.

Other than that, Dante still holds up very nicely, the Emperor's Champion is awesome (either the version above or the limited edition one with the 2-handed grip), and Ghazkul has done pretty well too, every bit the imposing badass now as when he was released.

**Matthew**

I LOVE the Ork Painboy.

**Desubot**

Basically everything coming out of FW

But out of GW side id say Creed

Just a mans man.

Look here boys, we got ourselves a hipster!

**Selym**

The first Black Templar:

Spoiler:

**Ashiraya**

I always thought his head looked too tall.

**Selym**

I think that's just the angle of the shot, making the top of his head appear to stretch vertically.

**Ashiraya**

Anyway, Lorgar has grown on me to the point where I think it's him.

He looks less over the top than the others (though it works for them), but he looks like he carries a lot of power in his smaller stature.

**reiner**

I really like Kaptin Badrukk and Forge World's Mamon. Nice character and pose in those

Despite selling most of my Marines, I still have both versions of this guy! Fantastic model.

**Mozzyfuzzy**

All of the HH character models, something on each of the primarchs irks me, or I just don't care about them enough to enjoy the models.

But specifically The Crimson Fist is better than Baldismund (fite me Black Templar fans)

**vipoid**

Is it cheating to include converted ones?

Otherwise, I like the 5th edition Archon model.
