It is truly amazing how much damage an open mouth can do to a model.

I love how this horrible sculpt just instantly stole the thread. In all honesty though, it's well deserved, she looks like some horrible hybrid of a fish/woman/frog, who tries to use her mouth as a vacuum cleaner.

Here we go again.
We had this once before, so I'll just retread old grounds and copy my analysis here again:
The two Tau Mainstays, Fire Warriors and Crisis Suits.
Fire Warriors aren't ugly per say, but the rest of the model rane have moved away from the "Let's make it blocky and shapy and call it sci-fi"-approach, and so it doesn't fit the rest of the line. They don't seem high-tech, as there's no technology to see, just shapes and edges. There's no culture to them, either - No ceremonial sword, pouches and grenades, sidearms or pieces of cloth showing, and the way they stand I often forget that they are hooved - Why don't show that in their poses more? The Pulse weapons need work, especially - Less "Fiddly long thing with a ball at the end" and more "Plasma Sniper, please. Maybe make a electro-magnet-part like on Plasma weapons that we can make a glow effect with? As extra spice, a female head would be great, alongside some less blocky male face/s - No different bodies are needed, their armour are rather bulky already, so that doesn't matter.
If you'd make them less like this:
And more like this (I KNOW IT'S A PATHFINDER, SHUT IT):
Crisis Suits are the same problem, really - They are too much shapes and too little technology. They need some culture too (Not just markings - Banners or jewelry hanging of them, ceremonial knifes, extra equipment, that ilk) and some movement (Loose fingers like on the commander model to be on a Shas'vre, arms looking like they are weapon arms and not just arms with weapons attached to them), and, of course, weapons that weren't made in a 3D maker in half an hour that LOOKS like weapons. Seriously, a Plasma Rifle with no Plasma bits? I'd be making some concept art for my ideas if I weren't sitting in a café.
Less like this:
And more like this (I KNOW IT'S A HAZARD SUIT, SHUT IT):
Look at that fething smug Tau's face. That's because his ride looks awesome.
/rant off.

Wait, what? This honestly is the first one that truly surprised me. The Terminator Chaplain IMHO is one extremely cool model and I'd love to get my hands on a metal one. Why do you think it needs an update?

Oh lord.. Out of curiousity, what does it even do on the table top? I sincerely hope for you it doesn't have a rule that makes it an auto include.

She carries a Relic from the armoury. It's important because our characters can otherwise only carry one, and most of them are AoE buff effects.

I don't usually take that model, because i play the squad she's in as pure Heavy Bolters, and this is so much prettier: http://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Battle-Sister-with-Heavy-Bolter Well, almost... Blame the paint scheme, they might at least update that with the current Shield of Baal....

I wonder how much is down to the paint job? Maybe if she just had some teeth she'd look more bald and screaming, and less 'blow up love doll'.

I'll add one more to my list. Not that I think it strictly needs resculpting, becasue there's already a few good chaplain sculpts made over the years. But my God the state of this guy. "Rarrghh! Behold heretic -all the other chaplains have this fearsome skull helm, and all I got is this cheap Haloween mask!"

Looks like Xavier of the Salamanders to me... Supposedly the only pic of him show him with just that apparel.
Also, can I be a heretic for a moment here? I like the Dialogus model. It has a certain weird charm to it, what with those small metal googles and wide open yapper.
