Hrm, are those with the exposed nipples male or female?

I kind of like the Nagash miniature, maybe for nostalgia reasons. The secret war between himself and the skaven is some of the best background fluff in Fantasy.

+1 to the fluff part.

I just don't think it looks right:

You know, that's not the guy's actual face, but rather the skin of one of his victims.

I know, I just don't like the model. The annoying thing is that I can't think why!

What actually astonishes me with the Dark Eldar Archons is that the one they didn't release is even worse.

Perhaps its the giganto claw on the tiny arm?

If the Dark Eldar were currently being produced, they'd "win" this contest, hands down...

This. The only appealing minis are the Incubi, and even they are clunky and lack definition.

EDIT - Scratch that, she's still available to mail order.

Note that she was updated to make the version on the right:


GW added a cape, hair extensions, and expanded the rod into a staff.

The plastic ones aren't much better, but are at least plastic and thus lighter.

The Metal Devs look good, but they're a pain to build because you need to pin the arms. The models with the low-slung guns (PC, MM, HB) are pretty well-balanced, but the Lascannon's a mess. I think a little more weight in the base would definitely help.

The squared-off plastic PC doesn't look nearly as good as the metal.

I always glue 1p coins to the underside of my more topheavy models. Works great for devastators.

As for most hated models, Im surprised no one has mentioned the new Daemonettes.
Theyre ugly. The 4th ed ones were awesome, but now GW seem to have taken a step backwards with the whole 'hag with crab claws' approach.

As people have mentioned, Dark Eldar, although I think that might be unfair, because the models are so dated. They looked good at the time. I also dislike the new hive tyrant, again, seems to be a step backwards to me. I was really into the whole 'alien queen' vibe the last one had going on.

hmm, & the new bloodletters aswell. Admittedly I like them more now than I did when I first saw them, but I still think they look a bit weedy compared to the 4th ed bloodletters.

SamG123 wrote:The pose of this model makes me cry

I turned that guy into a base playing bone singer. I altered the spear into a base and replaced the gun hand with one of the old Eldar plastic power fists. With that pose and those conversions, he looks like he's rockin' out.

I call that guy Opera man. He looks like he's going for a high note.

I wonder Which part is more oversized: The Fist, the Helmet or the Shoulderpads?

in 40k there is no such thing as oversized.

I gotta say this model as well.
Its always, ALWAYS bothered me.

I bought six of these. Having to file and scrape away for twenty hot, sweaty minutes per model just to make the two halves fit together is not my idea of money well-spent. And the legs won't stick on unless you threaten them with an angle grinder.

Deffinently agree w the crappy Killa Kans, but I love the unit in-game, so I did this.

a plastic spacemarine dreadnaught + 2 Killa Kans + a couple extra guns = an awsome Deaf Dread (kan arms) and two neat, and easy to build Killa Kans w 1 dreadnaught arm and one other gun each.

Khan and Vulkan have to be the best character models to come out in a long time... What are you smoking?

Dark Eldar line and a few of the limited edition sculps for Space Marines. "Angry shaking powerfist" LAWL

I like bits of Vulkan, my main issue with him is the glued on heavy flamer, but you can clip that off to fix it, as with the with bits blowing in the wrong direction.

Khan just doesn't really strike me as a White Scar, since when did they start carrying standard broadswords rather than Mongol influenced ones.

I dislike all of the Old Terminator Models you can Direct Order, and the Wolf Guard Models.

They still insist on toppling over and breaking. Plastic ones are a bit less detailed, but SO MUCH LIGHTER.

To be honest, I really haven't had so much trouble with the metal Devs - a little extra weight, and they're good. They might roll down steeper slopes and inclines, but if you pin, they won't break.

I'm also going to have to go with the entire Ork BFG line. They just look like crap, more so than they're suppose to.

The Khorne Berserkers

That old Brettonian damsel really is a great model. I never actually saw how the new one is built on the old sculpt until now, and i still like the elegance and simplicity of the old one better.

While there are many horrible models, i really scratch my head at when some of the good models are replaced with bad ones.

For example: replacing the High Elf Shadow Warriors (which were new sculpts, whilst White Lions and Swordmasters are still coping with 5th edition sculpts) and replacing the lovely 'sexy' daemonettes.

My most hated one is the Space pope (esp his guard)

Omg it's like some creepy old guy is in his weelchail showing off his male blowup dolls!

I dunno, his rules are rubbish, but worst model in production?
