Ohh yes, I can't believe I forgot the Sternguard. I agree completely, they look amazing.

Glad we can agree and I also forgot to add that I also have a special place in my gamer hearth for the assault terminator kit

Baneblade. Its a giant freaking tank with 11 guns standard. What isn't there to love?

Terrible GW photo, but this guy's my favorite:



I <3 Lictors.

I'm also a fan of the Wraithguard and WraithLord. Not a fan of GW's paintjob, but the models are awesome. I don't even play eldar and own a couple Wraithguard just to paint them.





GW is terrible at taking photos.

Oh, of course, wraithlord. They were actually the unit that got me into 40k in the first place (I saw an epic scale one and was hooked), and I'm pretty sure I'm not alone in this regard.

I just can't see you as an Eldar player. And here I thought you were a noble Imperial Guard commander, when instead you were a filthy xeno this whole time!

*And then I remember I play orks. Oh well, we all make mistakes *

As for me, the leman russ kit. It's just a giant brick of guns and steel. Plus, nothing is quite like knowing you have one of the best tanks of the game, and it's basically a tractor with guns on it.

Yes, I must admit, I was a teenager once too.

It gets even better, of course. My first army was eldar, and was comprised solely of unit that I thought looked cool and were easy to paint. There is nothing in that statement that fails to ooze regret...

I've still got my, what, 750 point eldar army laying around, though. In my current league, you got points for every painted/converted mini that you own. They got busted out for the first time in a gaming store since 2002.

I suppose that's the neat thing about 40k minis - they're a durable good. Odds seem rather long that I'd ever get back into eldar now. Still a lot of stuff in metal makes them expensive. Still with a crappy codex would make it a challenge, but I've already got my hands full with foot guard right now.

Plus, I'm not a teenager anymore, so an army that seems to be based around being emo is less appealing. But I digress...

Seems like GW is always coming out with new "favorite models" for me. Honestly, the new starter set minis really caught my eye.

I believe the two that are tied for my favorite would be the DA Librarian and the Chaos Lord.

Before that, my favorite model was probably the old metal kommando nob. His pose oozes confidence, big lobster power klaw in his hand, and a beautifully lit cigar hanging from the side of his mouth.

Sevin loth from FW - the best model. Rtb01 and the RT termie captain come close though (I'd post pics but am on my phone)

Death Korps Grenadiers

From GW proper, Empy Champion, tho I have a thing for Kasrkin (see a pattern here?) and Sternguards.

hehe nuff said

The first model I ever fell in love with was Maugan Ra, it was the first special character I ever bought (all the way back in 2nd) and I thought he looked like a boss with his Maugetar. That, and my friends used to deride me mercilessly for playing coneheads (Eldar, naturally) and Maugan Ra nipped that in the bud!

Well, not really because the rest of the army was still packing their signature helmets.

For me, it'd be the Sisters of Battle Retributor with Heavy Bolter.

I dunno why, there's just something I really like about it.

Well whoever painted the first guy really revived my interest in the IG CO

No kidding.

It's a fething awesome model.

I'm half tempted to get the box set just for that model, and ebay the rest.. and i don't even play CSM

Irrillyth just flies around with an anti tank gun, what's not to love?

--Gallery:2012/4/28/359304_sm.jpg--

RW Bikers are very cool, and now the starter set will contain three of them.

At the moment, it's gotta be this guy:



Although I've always had a lotta love for this chappy, as well:

Looks like a Chaos Bjorn, am I right?

One of my favorites...

For me it is down to the IG valkyrie, this beast got me hooked into the game to begin with. I also love the forge world models of the lightning and thunderbolt fighters (okay, guess you can see a pattern emerging here). Then it would be the classic IG stormtroopers with the berets, they were just space SAS (sploosh)

I also like my ravenwing Guardians of the Covenant... but I don't have a great pic of them

Wraithseer:



just beautiful.

Jesus, Ask me to pick my favorite Kid. That is easier.

Jain Zar way back in 2nd ed caught my eye. Never played Eldar but they have some of the best minis.

Still think she's boss, the model hasn't changed over all these years. New Chaos minis from DV are awesome too, especially the aforementioned lord.

HAHA

Wow is it that hard!

I love 40k!

I love the Contemptor!

My favorite model in 40K? It's the one my opponent removes as a casualty when I'm playing against them.
