Every time this thread comes up, this model makes an appearance, so I'm just getting it out of the way now.

Well at least it's not the Ogre cheerleader.

Umm my Farseer of dying who is very good at it.

And my white Vyper, it always fails. Every time its been the first to get immobilised or blow up and it never seems to hit or wound anything. (On those few occasions it got a hit).

My Paskquisher. Unless there is a land raider on the table he will miss every shot. It's still my favorite tank though.

Plasma weapons on my BT crusaders even though I have terrible luck with them and always end up killing more of my own models than enemy models with them. For some reason I just really like the aesthetics of those weapons...

My favorite model is the first one I really converted, a Termie Chaplain made an AoBR Term body, parts from a metal Chaplain on Bike and the head of the new jump pack SM Captain, and a Combi- Flamer from the Fincast Sternguard. He looks great....but he is a Term Chappy.

My worst model seems to be my Land Raider Crusader...I think it MIGHT get to move 12" a game...let alone get anything done useful

Excuse me while I go have nightmares for the next week or so.

Hey, this isn’t an ugly model thread, but a bad model one. Lets keep the cheerleaders out of here. Although if a sister’s player feels the need to post the dialogus, I guess we’ll have to live with that...

Bodgit and Scarpaw ace Warpfire Thrower responsible for many a glorious victory for my opponents. For a while the misfire was usually taking two of my regiments out in a round.

Ask and ye shall receive.

I did walk right into that one. But if you field her every game, she fits into the "Be it poorly painted, bad on the tabletop, unlucky, or just other wise hate gathering, what is your favorite bad model that you actually use?” stated in the OP.

For me it has to be by Big Mek with SAG, sometimes it works wonders rolling boxcars and winning, but mostly it rolls a low str ad scatters off the target.

My second would have to be my Looted Wagon, the first time I used it I had a direct hit wiping a squad! Every game since then it gets blown up turn one giving them first blood

Gotta love um though

Got to be my spore mine clusters (old codex)

I use 2 units of 3 of these and people either spend an entire turn shooting them for sake of fear of the unknown or they leave them then suffer 25% to a squad and run off the board. I played a tau army where 3 of them hit into 3 broadsides, 2 units of 10 FW's and a unit of pathfinders. All blew up and sent all those units running off the board.

These models are useless but can have such a mindscrew effect on people.

Plus as they are part of my Alien army I love that they are impregnated marines waiting to 'chest bust'

Deffkoptas have never done me wrong, just due to zoggin' good dice. I know they're not terrible models, but seriously...
One Deffkopta (This was way back in 5th Ed) took 1500 points of Tau Firepower, save for one Hammerhead shot (Which killed maybe 3 Ork Boys.) The Deffkopta survived, killed some stuff, and earned a fancy paintjob and buzzsaw from his Warboss.
Another time, two Biggbomms took out a 600-Point squad, including his Warboss and a bunch of Bikers. I caused just enough wounds to make a Leadership check. They failed and I won that game with no contest.
Last time I used one, it was a squad of Two. I got behind a Hellbrute, shot, and did nothing. He turned around to shoot at me, killed one, and I failed my Leadership... Which put me behind him again, and further out of charge distance. Assault phase, he tried to charge... I fired Overwatch. Hit. Pen. Frikkin' Immobilized, with his back to my entire army. Next turn, he died.

So awful and stupid but I like it

My sentinels. Used to run 12 of them back in the days (9 in fast, 3 in HQ)

I love mine they do so much damage for being a "gakky" unit

also, my storm troopers are a lot of fun, they tend to fail their rerolls while deep-striking but when they hit the ground (on target) they do a fair bit of damage, also they're converted from Cadian, Cattachan and high elf bits to look like the guys from Amy of T.W.O.

Oddly enough, my swarmlord.... I had him custom built and painted... and he has done nothing but die, or spend the entire game wandering around in the open trying to find something that he could charge.

My Razorback. It has an awful and unfinished paintjob, the marine at the storm bolter looks like his torso blew up, it always misses with its lascannons, and has been a complete fire magnet to everything it's faced.

Still, it's good to have around. I don't know why, but it's been in many games.

My company master balthasar from dark vengeance, did nothing but die in my first 4 games so i just use him as a paint tester model but he is so cool with his combi plasma gun and power sword

Skippy the Plasmagunner.

Skippy is a plasmagun armed IG trooper in my IG army (my non-Tallarn one, at any rate). Actually, he is the lone plasmagun armed trooper in my entire army (meltas being my special weapon of choice). Skippy's job is to let my opponent know when it's okay for him to start kicking the feth out of me.

How does he do this? By cooking himself with a botched "Gets Hot" roll. The moment Skippy dies to a botched GH roll, my entire battle line crumbles. Doesn't matter if it's on turn one or turn six. As soon as he cooks himself, my army decides it's time to lie down and die.

If Skippy gets killed in any other way than a GH roll, it doesn't have that effect on my army. It is only when he roasts himself that my army crumbles. No, I don't know why; that's just how it goes.

So naturally, I should just stick Skippy in the back of my army, well away from anything to fire at, right?

Feth that. The man's got an AP2 weapon in a local meta dominated by MEQ. He's gonna shoot that thing every chance he gets!

It's gotta be my Basilisk Squad. Don't think they've hit anything between them ever, except one Tac squad - which won me the game
