Riptide (Giant body, itty bitty little head. Replace with kroot head for more fun)

[Mod Edit - Rule #1] the normal sized head is there to show the riptide is a suit of armor, not a walker.

Oh and I think the ST would be much better with some rotors.

No the normal sized head is there because whats the point of making it larger? If all of the sensor equipment fits inside of a Crisis suit head why is there a need to make it larger?

The face all necrons players made when they read the Ward flufff.

The reason I posted was supposed the official the designers gave for the head size.

**zephoid**

What is the point of the head then? The model looks better without it. Its not like the person's head is actually in that thing (oh god i hope not.... but with GW maybe). Whats the point of having a tiny head when the sensors are inside and there is sufficient room for a person to rest.

The point of the head is the same Fething function that this has on the predator drone

its a freaking camera with various optics to allow night vision, and other visual aids to the pilot.

**Gargantuan**

Most true-scale marines look incredibly dumb.

**aapch45**

Another really bad model that comes to mind is the old dark eldar scourge... it was a dark eldar.... with a jetpack

One of my least favourite models is the old Terminator Captain:

Spoiler:

It doesn't look too bad...unless you look at the bolter arm, which is in completely impossible position. Poor guys shoulder is apparently located somewhere above and beyond his ears. I replaced the arm in my conversion and it immediately looked much better.

Every Terminator is like that though.

**Chute82**

For me it has to be the Dreadknight ...

**namiel**

they are hilarious only because of how rediclous they are

**Psienesis**

Orkz iz made for Rokkin'!

**FarseerAndyMan**

Gotta say guys...no one has mentioned the failure that is the current Skull cannon of Khorne / Chariot thing...
Good christ that looks worse than my most horrific mushroom trip puke.
How does Blanche still get to do work for those guys?
His stuff is garbage.
Just terrible.

**PirateRobotNinjaofDeath**

Though the model is pretty badass, the metal Sammael model is probably the most frustrating thing I've ever tried to assemble. Complete fething nightmare.

**bigginhouse**

I actually quite like thunderwolf cavalry, I mean they are crazy over the top but if you're fielding them who cares thats just what they're all about, a ludicrous charge in style, on a giant wolf. I personally think the unhelmeted SoB look really ridiculous.

**Ciaphas**

The new centurions, or lets make another super poweful unit that everyone has to have and charge the earth for. They look stupid. really.

**iGuy91**

This seems too relevant to leave out...

**SickSix**

First it was the Dread(ful) Knight, now it is the Centurion.

**SlaveToDorkness**

Any 3rd Ed. Tyranids. Infinitely dumber than anything currently in production.

**Jabeedo**

This kid who used to come to my store would make up all of his own rules and whine that no one wanted to play against them. His Chaos Blood Angels chapter had a Primarch that was trapped inside of an Ironclad Dreadnought on a BANEBLADE. It was held together with gorilla glue OOZING out of every crevasse. The worst model GW has released that I've seen is easily the Nightmare Dragon in their Warhammer Fantasy Battles Collector line.

**Grimtuff**

I'm noticing a pattern here, with the models and/or concepts that certain people find "dumb" are probably older than they are.

Damn kids need to learn their history.

**paulyf**

That master of marches model it truly bad. It also wins the worst excuse/ name for a model in history. The whole thing just hits that rage spot in my head.
Not sure why there is so much hate for the centurians or dreadknight. I quite like them.

3rd ed Tyranids mostly are the models currently in production...

**A sane man**

Crabclaw Yarrick

**Ailaros**

lol. so ugly that the camera decided to focus on the rest of the army instead?

**Grimtuff**

Aside from the silly-looking claw (even back in the day it was silly IMO) there is literally nothing wrong with that sculpt. "Dumb" is not a word I would use to describe it at any length.

That model looks awesome though. That's why nobody mentioned it.

That's exactly what I thought, lol.

That Ghazkull is stupid! (Actually it's nearly 30 years old, and fit perfectly with the entire rest of the Ork range aesthetic.)

You can't compare 2nd edition models to the ones nowadays, they will obviously fall short. You compare them to all the other companies putting out models in the same era. Some of the Warzone range was laughable.

**insaniak**

Warzone was indeed pretty poor...

But there were some models in the 2nd Ed range that have held up ok. Most of the second Ed Aspect Warriors are just as good as the current versions. 2nd Ed Daemonettes are better than the current plastic ones, IMO, if not as good as Diaz's version in between.

Tyranids from 3rd ed. 40k. So...2nd ed. Tyranids if you're going by the iteration. Although I would have to argue that The old Advanced Space Crusade Warriors and Stealers would be 1st ed.

This crap is what I'm talking about though...
