I am not at all fond of the Bloodthirster, actually, he looks unstreamlined, irregular, too hairy, and the tusks don't look like something you could actually gore anything to death with. On the bright side, I don't have a Daemons force, so I don't need to worry about an alternate model.

Wow, the Sisters have gotten some really awful models. I usually remember the Dialogus, who I have to agree is one of the worst they've ever made.

It's kinda surprising, because the Sisters actually have some really cool models too. The Hospitaller is a great model. The banner/simulacrum bearers. Heck, they have some really characterful Superior and Cannoness models too. It's like somebody at Games Workshop went off the thematic deep end and produced some just awful, awful models. Penitent Engine, the Pipe Organ Artillery Tank, Dialogis, Repentia... And who could forget this monstrosity. Not technically Sisters, but wow. http://rolltohitclub.wordpress.com/tag/karamazov/

Nagash, though Fantasy, is horrendous, and has been around for something like 15 years without an update.

Storm Raven gets the nod as one of the worst vehicles, because in the modern era of modelling, it has no excuse to be so awful. Talk about ungainly and unflightworthy.

Marneus Calgar is referred to as "one of the Imperium's greatest tacticians" and he treats the Codex like it's the War Bible. If the Codex is garbage, then how bad is everyone else?

Shhhh, we don't talk about those. We just try the best we can with mods and better paint-jobs (because aside from the bad models they're made worse with GWs not so complimentary paint schemes)...

Yes he's not even in the correct scale anymore and his pose is rubbish- same goes for all the space wolves characters that have been around since 2nd ed imo- they're aweful. Ulrik is who I want to see resculpted most with some rules that fit his fluff(has never happened imo). But then again I hate the new ones with a passion too so... I mean lukas looks like a bloody leprechaun! Arjac is their only saving grace but even he's not that great..

The Grey Knight baby carriage hasn't been mentioned yet? It's a terminator wearing a mechanical diaper with a robot attached. Awful. At least that sister has the excuse that it's old.

Sorry if this thread is a common one guys- despite playing 40k for quite some time I only joined dakkadakka yesterday. Solofalcon, everyone else in the thread seems to be enjoying taking part- you are the only one who seems to have an issue-you dont have to take part if you dont like the thread. As for me being 'the new complaints department head' well I was just trying to provoke some interesting conversation thats all, and besides that, I thought that title belonged to you seeing as i've seen you in other threads and all you ever seem to make are condescending and arguementative comments- you dont seem to be very popular, and i've noticed that after only 1 day on dakka dakka. Maybe give the attitude a rest then you might not have to call yourself Solo-falcon anymore (I assume you call yourself that cos no one can stand to hang around and deal with you).

Blood Angels are vampires

Twilight is full of effeminate vampires
Ergo, Sanguinius is really Edward Cullen.

That model is older than you. Please go to the back of the room and be quiet. Njal still looks as cool as ever after 20 years.
