There are two things wrong with that statement....first the game was Mordheim...secondly these figs came out long before finecast.

Waiting for my shill money from Spiral Arm Studios
I don't recognise the model, what is it?
Self-proclaimed evil Cat-person. Dues Ex Felines
Cato Sicarius, after force feeding Captain Ventris a copy of the Codex Astartes for having the audacity to play Deathwatch, chokes to death on his own D-baggery after finding Calgar assembling his new Eldar army.

And here I was convinced that dubstep was actually what the Noise Marines would logically be playing.
Nothing else is that awful. Even country.
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?

IIRC, they were in the same WD too

DS:90-S++G+++M++B++I+Plotr06#+D+++A++++/eWD251R+++T(Ot)DM+ JB: I like the concept of a free Shrike roaming through the treetops of the jungle. I'm not sure that I like the idea of a real Shrike sitting on my couch eating my Skittles. corpsesarefun: Thank god I missed be nice to shrike day. greenskin lynn: because of all the skittles and soda, you basically live off sugar water, like some sort of freakish human-hummingbird hybrid.
Karamazov is literally the most 40k model ever sculpted. He's huge, overwrought, laden with detail, has not one but two servitors with him, there's skulls everywhere, it's a vehicle that is in no way reasonable or logical, and he still expects to hit people with his sword from it. That model is silly as hell, and it IS 40k. If someone were to ask me to show them something that represented 40k in one model, it would be Karamazov. It's silly, stupid, and completely awesome.
I'm currently stripping one of those models to repaint for a friend. I think it's an excellent model, just because it shows the madness that is the ordo hereticus/xenos/etc to its full extent.
To explain the sword, think of it as purely symbolic (like a Judge's wig)
And that is why you hear people yelling FOR THE EMPEROR rather than FOR LOGICAL AND QUANTIFIABLE BASED DECISIONS FOR THE BETTERMENT OF THE MAJORITY!

There are some really silly models in the old imperial guard, most of "colonel schafers last chancers" are silly, especially when you look at the names:
Colonel Schaeffer,
Grease Monkey,
Shiv,
Scope,
Warrior Woman,
Hero,
Animal,
Brains,
Fingers,
Rocket Girl,
Ox,
Demolition Man.
I always hear the benny hill theme when i look at those figures..

That model wasn't actually introduced until 2nd or 3rd edition ...
I used him in 2nd a bunch of times as he was the only way for IG to get a strategy rating that wasn't crap, was pretty sure I had him during my rouge trading days too but then again I could be going senile..

Yeah that Macharius model first showed up during 2nd Ed.
I kinda wish I had all the last Chancers. I’ve got about half of them (Warrior Woman, Rocketgirl, Brains, Scope, the two guys who look like Commissars/Mordian Officers). The rest are good though, and would be great for Dark Heresy...
I have the set, but only because I won them... when they were released, the local GW store ran a competition to design your own Last Chancer - build a model and give them rules. First prize was the box set.
A decade or so later I'm finally painting them up, for use as a Necromunda Van Saar gang...
Guitar marines are a bad inside joke, and the sooner everyone forgets about them, the better.
Indeed.
Both the heavy metal Noise Marines and the "Goffik Rokker" Orks are from GW's "Rawk and Roll!!!111!!" era. Old timers will recall that as being the late '80s to the early '90s. All the studio staff sported mullets or "big hair", GW had their own in-house rock band, White Dwarf featured polls inquiring about the reader's taste in music, and the then rare GW stores usually had piped in too loud metal as their ambiance music. This was also when GW did some of their best work as far as fluff writting and miniature design, but as someone who has always been very straight laced" I could have done without the extras.
It was a dark time best forgotten!
As for my vote as to silliest model, how do the '93 series World Eater Assault Marines grab you?
What's up with the one bare leg?
I must not think they are too silly as I just painted up a whole squad of them with Chapterhouse "heresy era" jump packs as my "counts as Raptos" unit.

That was a great time. I'd rather have that than the cold cynical corporate behemoth they are now.
