Everyone has some of those models out of the whole minature range that they just don't like whatsoever because of how they look. It could be the smallest detail that changes the whole look of the model, or just the whole model itself. I wanna see what people choose why.
I have a couple..
The simple Tyranid Termagaunt with devourer.
Why? Because as a creature with a fire arm grown out of it's arm, and ammunition made out of the mass it ingests, why the f* does the gun have a clip on it? Or something that almost identically resembles one? NO! Does an empty stomach not hint that there is need of food (soon to be ammo), or does the tyranid have to look at the bottum of it's arm before it can tell itself that it's low of flying critters?
Another one, the ork flash git.
After coming out with such a marvalous Kaptin Badrukk model, you dare to show such a fail of a model? A 1950's double barrelled shotgun on what is supposed to be the most 'armed-to-the-teef' of orks out there. Like... really... In a white beater.. No armour to show that it's one of the most loot-hungry green skin? Oh GW... anyway...
What do you folks choose?

I bet I'm wrong here, buuuuuuut:
For me, with a helmet, the model looks quite nice, but without, Draigo's face...what were they thinking! It is an abomination to my eyes

I really hate the Autarchs for Eldar. the models themselves are ok. BUT, to have all the options you need for just one of them, you have to buy 3 different models.
Seriously?!!
They really need to make it a kit, with the different heads you can swap out, all the weapons, and two sets of legs, and the jetbike.
And because of all of that, the models kinda suck.

I like the look reasonably well, when finished.
The irking comes in assembling the fething thing, and some of the places the mold vents were placed weren't too well thought out.. The claws also dislike staying together, or staying in the sockets without pinning..
grr..
looks-wise i'd have to say Dire avengers (killer smurfs!) and Harlequins (killer clowns!). I liked the old Cyberpunk looking Harlies better

How have you had problems with them? The arms are in matched pairs, it's very difficult to screw them up. Catachan infantry squads are a whole different story, but Marines fit together smooth as butter.

I'm gonna have to give you a grammar ticket for using so many exclamation points in your post. One per sentence is all you'll ever need!
Those models have both aged very poorly; the Chaos Dread was cool in 1993 or so, but when there's 5 different plastic options for loyalist dreads it really pales in comparison. At least the Forge World ones are ace

You're right, I put too many, I'm going to edit the post; just a rage quit xD
Hope GW will realize those models need an update. And yes: at least, FW chaos dreds are very good, specially the Death Guard one...

Irk me? I don't know. Maybe striking scorpions. What ugly pieces of gak those are. Then again, they're insanely old, so I can't be too harsh.
DE wyches. WHY THE FETH ARE THEY ALL RUNNING. They don't even seem remotely feminine to me. Blocky chests, square jaws, tight lips, no curves, no attractive waist, idiotic hair styles and obviously 'wrong' boobs makes them my biggest irk in GW's catalog. What an atrocious failure they are. Too bad we'll have to live with them for another twenty years or so. I'll just try my best to put the most feminine heads on warriors, which are surprisingly MORE feminine. Automatically Appended Next Post: Goddard wrote:I'm just waiting for that Ork Cheerleader to show up...
Anyway, this:

What's wrong with this? It was an extremely limited run from FW, and quite a nice model, IMO. It could have had more detail around the armor. Just because the actual model is crappy doesn't mean you have to copy it exactly.

Oh, I was actually talking about how the FW sculpt was TOO close to the metal model. They could've switched the detail up and actually made something cool out of him, instead of just a clone.

I'm not very fond of the set of Cadian legs that are standing on tiptoe with the legs right next to each other. It isn't as bad as the hormagaunt problem but it's the same basic deal. I also don't like the head with its chin strap unbuckled and helmet askew.
