The assualt marine legs are also a pain to deal with because sometimes the toe is slanted... and breaks off the base easy. SO I have to literally put something against to hold it up....

Also the undead model is by far the worst of all time. IT needs to burn I have the model and i feel like terrioizing children with it O.o

How's about this one, just for starting all the female space marine controversy.

There is this one too. Technically they were labeled as female warriors.

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.

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.

He could of mean't the orginial model too.
And you remember the DE slaves they fail.....
Oh and don't forget this little bogger

THE WORST MODEL OF ALL TIME!

I agree.. Um.. what is it? An eldar farseer? lol you can tell the age.. but come on now!

Oh, I also really dislike the new ork nobz. They all look constipated and dumb, not badass and 'ead killy like the old (metal:/ ) ones..

I hate the way the stormraven gunship looks. It's like a thunderhawk that hit a wall.

these guys

don't really do it for me. its not the design itself that bothers me but the minis proper, especially when compared to how good kasrkin look, and yet kasrkin feel pretty out of place in any army that isn't cadians.

I actually like those old stormtroopers better than the kasrkin.

I think the unit design, as seen on the few drawings they have in the IG codex, has potential, but the minis to me look, for lack of a better word, fat.

I do get your point. I know a few people who do not like them. I personally do. But I am usually in the minority when it comes to things like this.

Was Nagash ever considered a good sculpt?

WHY THE FETH ARE THEY ALL RUNNING: They are a close combat unit, fueled by combat drugs, thats why they are running.
Blocky chests, square jaws, etc: warriors/soldiers (especially ones that fight hand-to-hand) will have well defined/enlarged musculature.
no attractive waist, idiotic hair styles and obviously 'wrong' boobs: they are warrior eldar not page 3 girls/porn stars. Eldar are not curvy.

If you want tits and ass go to a porn site (the internet is full of them), if you want a pretty accurate and common sence model based on Dark Eldar fluff and basic principles of muscle development the wyches are fine.

The Wych models are fine, they are warriors who use Combat drugs and train constantly. They weren't created by some idiotic designer whos view of women is ridiculous and fits the Dark Eldar background perfectly unlike some of GW's other female models.

Don't like those stupid looking tusks on Chaos terminators. The CSM bezerkers aren't up to much either. Thank goodness for FW!

Yep, good old Nagash. For those who don't remember, Nagash is on a 40mm base, and was a powerful character model back when the Undead were just one army. IIRC, Gary Morley (the sculptor) apologized for this one specifically. IMO, this model taught GW that people will buy crappy models if the rules for them are good enough.

He definitly becomes more hidious when you realize how big the model is.

Why I Oughta!

At least most of these are older models. The few that aren't are overlaps from fantasy. 40k has lucked out with their models. Most are pretty good. Especially the more recent ones.

The fantasy line hasn't been as fortunate as I'm convinced GW makes their new recruits make a fantasy model and if it sells a thousand copies they get to be promoted to full time minimum wage with benefits as opposed to part-time slave labor.

The new DE Dragon--hell, most of the new monsters, Razorgore, etc.

Of course 40k also lacks the truly epic models which fantasy has a fair number of too.

There is this one too. Technically they were labeled as female warriors.

The reason why people think that they're female Space Marines is because of the powered armor, when in reality anyone (in theory) could wear and use powered armor. There's a couple of pictures in the Rogue Trader book with mercenaries that have powered armor that looks exactly like the Imperial Marine powered armor.

For my least-liked GW sculpt, I'm gonna give it to....

dun dun dun...





The Cadians


I used to have them and I didn't mind them, but looking back on it, they sucked. Look like freaking football players with monkey hands.

That's irrelevant. There are plenty of 'bulky' women who still have nice bodies. It's not like your hips disappear or your lips get thin when you start exercising. Since when are eldar 'not curvy'? Obviously lelith is. Just because the models don't show attractive women doesn't mean that they don't exist!

The running thing I sort of get, but 4/5 of the legs in the set are running legs. That's overkill. Some running is fine, but 80% is too much for me, sorry. I'm not asking for porn-star-esque quality. I just want them to be better looking than the men in the same set!

Perfect example:

What horrible facial gestures. What disgusting hair. Thick, meaty arms, gross, misshapen stomachs. What is the look GW was going for? Cave-women with splinter rifles? Dominatrix, nihilistic s? Whatever it is, it's a disappointment.

Don't get me started on the Succubus. I think THAT is actually my biggest irk.

I have a feeling that you have missed the entire concept of what the Wyches are supposed to be, hence your irritation.

They're athletes with no gender discrimination, pumped up on combat drugs with the express purpose of killing their enemies at close range in the most pain causing process possible. Hence, they are all running, that makes sense, a standing Wych would look stupid, they are all muscled, because they are athletes that compete in close combat. Hair isn't the best I agree actually, and whilst not everyone is good at or wants to work with green stuff, I personally just cut the ones I dislike and make it better, or that's what I've done with my single box so far.
