@soo'va'cha - those conversions look awesome!

The most fun I've had has been building and even painting my Terranwing, and I don't usually enjoy painting.

Terminators and dreadnought



Its great coming up with an idea and then hunting through the GW bits catalogue to find something that fits

Also the new DA codex is very satisfying to play with.

Wraithlords. Simple as. I don't use them much, though, since most of their parent army is defunct at the moment and while I enjoy uphill battles the slope is simply too high atm.

Thinking about building a Wraithlord and using Scibor's Elf decorative plates for the shoulderblade-wings. (http://sciborminiatures.com/en_,shop.php?art=1488)

Love the conversions, great attention to detail, I love it when somebody themes a army, and extends it throughout the build, kudos to your sir!

For building, I like dreadnoughts. Both regular and ironclad. Just fun kits to build.

Most fun painting I've had lately was my scout bikers. Tons of details and extras, but just troops, so I don't have the expectation of painting a HQ.

For play it's rough. I swap my list around all the time. I've been having a lot of fun with typhoon/HB speeders and auto/las preds.

So far, my Rhino/Razorback and Las/Plas conversion. As said, just a well built kit that goes together well. Was a dream to paint. Had fun using to try out new techniques for weathering and using pigments. I can't wait to build more! Done well on table so far, and the main reason I'm looking at a mechanized list for my primary list. Also looking forward to the Vendetta in my eventual IG ally detachment.

I've been thinking of picking up some of the Chaos Lord kits. I like the DV model, and of course those Nurgle models look awesome! I only get to do a bit of gore with my MotW!

Call me crazy, but I actually enjoyed the Storm Potato.

Though, in truth, the most fun I had was kitbashing the Grey Knight kit into an honour guard for my Blood Ravens. Grey Knight models have lots of detail and character, and with the right bits added (or removed, in the case of all the inquisition symbols), you can make a very distinctive unit which most people don't recognize as GK (largely, I imagine, due to lack of grey).

I ought to actually upload some pictures one day. Meh, I'll get around to it sooner or later.

Therefore, I conclude, Valve should announce Half Life 2: Episode 3.

My generic captain with storm shield & relic blade is my favorite model.

Can't say I got much mileage out of him, though, seeing as generic captains are inferior for their price, but hey, I still enjoyed assembling & painting him.

Razorwing all the way.

Gorgeous model, and i enjoy running them too

Also Scourges. Arguably the best model-work GW's turned out in a while.

I also have a place in my corroded and warped haemonculus heart for the Cronos. I love that model, even though it's at best so-so in play.

The Viletide: Daemons of Nurgle/Deathguard: 7400 pts
Disclples of the Dragon - Ad Mech - about 2000 pts
GSC - about 2000 Pts

I really like my Primaris Psyker. Sure he hasn't won me a lot of games, but I love putting him on the table.

2nd would have to go my Pask Exterminator, but due to an terrible priming accident, he is covered in cracks. Still fun to build and play though.

Guarded Grey Knight Terminator

A unit of Night Lords that have an obsession with looting trophies from the blinded slaves of the corpse god. Everyone has a shoulder pad stolen from a particularly prized murder. Mixing loyalist bits in with traitor, defiling aquilae and Chapter symbols. I have been forcing myself to not use decals at all, so I've been freehanding everything not sculpted on.

Valkyrie (plastic kit).

It was an absolute joy to assemble compared to 1/48 and 1/32 scale aircraft I've done in the past.

Cheaper, too (when I got it. This is no longer true).

I'm OVER 50 (and so far over everyone's BS, too).

I enjoyed building (or rather modifying) and painting the DV cultists, I tend to get bored with the sameyness of painting an army and the cultist were(and still are with 40ish left ) a great relief for this. You just can paint them completely different, ragtag bunch that they are, which is something that I really enjoy after painting a lot of similar looking Marines.

The Helbrute was also a treat to paint, a great model. I really hope that there will be a set released for it someday.
