He's just concentrating really hard on not wetting his power armour because there aren't any toilets in the 41st millenium.

In the 41st millenium all pants are equiped with Lavatoriums.

give me old models vs new models any day of the week!
I love the stuff GW made in the 80s, its all wonderfully cheesy yet so awesome...
it had charm
they lost their charm, so I just can't bring myself to start another army i can never make because they are such a bore to paint...having painted them all

Why?! Why would you make this thing? It's lanky power armor carrying a guy in power armor. Ugh I hate it.

Incorrect, that is a pretty impressive model. Not to mention, if you dont like how it is stock, then a few VERY simple modifications and presto, its a whole different looking model. The DreadKnight is an awesome model. Me least fav model/s would probably be the entire Catachan range. feth sake those look terribad. I always wondered why they kept THOSE guardsmen over the mountain of other COOL guard armies from the past. I mean.....Tallarn would of be soooooooooo much better. Those guys STILL look like BAMF's

The old Orks look so incredibly stupid with those froggy heads... And the chaos models? Looks like Dee Snider.

Agree. I don't get why people hate on that model so bad.

If it looked slightly more "heroic" and "knightly" and less "mech-pilot" I think it would do better.

Ok I hate :


Just ugly!

Look a the little belly looks like you can tikle it!


Hate the wolves makes me think of Twillight

I see the Sister Dialogus and raise you...



Njal "Bearing All".

Nothing says intimidating like "Raaaar! Look how big I am!!!!!!!1111!!"

Iranna.

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.

The model looks silly in the pictures, but in person it actually looks pretty impressive, especially considering how old it is. There are FAR worse models than that out there.

Also, people are mixing up badly sculpted (eg, this was made with play-doh/looks fugly) with badly designed (eg, the Dreadknight's lack of protection). You may not like the design decisions of the Heldrake, Forgefiend, Thunderwolves, etc, but you have to admit that they were sculpted spectacularly.

In terms of piss-poor sculpting, clearly the Ork Cheerleader wins the day (even if it is fething hilarious ), followed closely by Nagash and then the Sister Dialogus (which is a shame, as the GW model is actually quite well painted, but the sculpt completely ruins it).

Isn't that more your fault for associating wolves with a terrible movie series?

Those figures are the reason I chose ogres and vampire counts over skaven. I saw some pictures of them, loved the concept art and I almost seemed to remember liking the figures, then I saw those things and just imagined most of the models looked like those and chose another army.

I thought that was your job though.

Erm, I was conceived in the 80s, now what are you trying to say? Huh!?

For me it's this:



On the Dark Apostle front, the Chosen Champion with mace in the Dark Vengeance boxed set is actually a perfectly acceptable substitute.

I hate this model too. It looks like a short bus G.I. Joe vehicle

Hmm, worst models. Apart from some already mentioned, there are the Daemonettes and also Daemonettes.

Crab demons, crab demons...

Daemonettes are beauties.

Astorath the Grim on the other hand.



An old alcoholic homeless woman wearing muscle tissued nipple armour with crow wings. Bad call, GW.

Edit: I don't know if it's just the paintjob, but the tentacle vagina head is pretty questionable too.

Or someone who lived through the entire decade, and hated every second of it. The clothes, the music. the cars, the "style".

Heresy. That is one of THE classic sci-fi motives

The mutilator is easily the worst thing they have made recently.

As for older stuff that they still make in the 40k range I submit for your approval. (very sorry for picking people gallery images, I think your paintjob on these awful models are great)

coat rack head


80s sunglasses fat commander


horns arent enough, we want crab claws!



That said I actually like the Sisters Dialogus

I actually kinda like Captain Al'rahem. But I had a thing for the Tallarn range.

Now that looks like something you'd get in a Kinder Egg.

The faces on these are just hilarious;

Those bats make the ones from the original Megaman games seem photorealistic in comparison.

Poorly sculpted, lackluster options, stupid uniforms...

But you can live your 8 year old dream of a whole army of Rambo.

that's really insulting to rambo/stalone man.

stalone was ripped. these guys look like greg valentino (google image it if you dont know what im talking about)

this thread started off great but took a turn for the stupid when people said Sguard, astorath etc

Sguard is an awesome kit. the nipple thing is showing your immaturity IMO. they are sculpted like a roman gladiator or legionary armour. you could just sand/cut the nipples off if it really bothers you.
