#7 had my vote, too! Easy to put together and paint.

I disagree with the Corvus Blackstar. It was too simplistic and seemed designed deliberately to prevent using as bits for other models and conversions.

Quite miffed that the containers didn't score as high as hoped. I demand a recount.

I don't recognize quite a few things on that list.

I would've voted for the Ogroid Thaumaturge though!

Magnus is a freaking beauty, though. I am painting him now.

Jep. For me as well. Otherwise preferred the Orruk Mawcrusha over the Megaboss.

... I built the new tzeentch sorceror 3 pack kit a wee while back.

Great sculpts/models with some awesome options.

But with some exceptions -- shoulder pads, odd helmets etc -- there's very little direct compatibility with other marine type kits.

It's...hmmm... annoying is too strong of a term... but... being an old git it certainly stands out. Especially given how in the past the cross compatibility of the kits was always a thing.

Most of the bodies, legs etc are similar to the plastic clamp pack kits which can only really be attached in one way.

I love the new TSons, forgot to vote but the Rubricae would have gotten mine.

I was unaware '1 Magnus the Red" was released much earlier than any of the Thousand Sons

I like a lot of these, except the Stardrake and the Orruk Megaboss. I would've replaced it with the Warboss on Wyvern.

I can't recall if they were the same week or if the rubrics were shortly after.

The fact that Laketown houses didn't make #1 proves this poll was rigged. That's the best kit GW has ever made.
