What is the worst model (in your opinion) in the whole world of 40k??

Ork Vehicles.... (N)

really except the squiggoth :D

The Squiggoth isn't a vehicle....

Kruellagh the Vile

shes is hands down the worst model in 40K

I guess some models in the Dark Eldar range. Their male archon looks...weird.

necron tomb spiders
matrix sentinels minus the wavy legs
necron plastic warriors
anorexic terminators

both models aweful

The old Commissar Yarrick model...........and most everything in the dark eldar

DE wyches, and other DE models (not Incubi).

Warp Spiders... they seriously need better, more dynamic models

Well, this guy (http://store.us.games-workshop.com/storefront/store.us?do=List_Models&code=301877&orignav=301304&ParentID=6321&GameNav=10) is definately a contestant...

The worst model in my oppinon is the classic gaunt models

Captain Cortèz. The guy with the coolset fluff gets the worst model.

The tank trap/stopper think out of the old warhammer 40k boxed set also the w40k barricades set :P

THAT Sergant

Without the helmet... the head makes it all look bad!
A human doesn't look like that.. normaly atleast. And the head form is all screwd.
A human doesn't look like a compressed rectangle for a face.

They have some good models. Haemonculi are cool, so are the jetbikes and the Radier/Ravager. Most everything else sucks though. The Wyches get my vote.

This retard here:

http://us.games-workshop.com/games/40k/tyranids/catalog/images/tyrant_guard.gif

His hand is a shield? Won't that hurt his hand? And a whip?? what!?

-Hi, I'm the Hive Tyrant, biggest and most destructive of all Tyranid creatures. This guy with a bicycle helmet and a whip is my bodyguard!

old plague marines, just look too nice to be nurgle, or ragnar blackmane, coz he's just too, dare I say it, 2D although he was fun to paint I still dont like it, or maybe salamanders chaplain xavier, looks very stupid with his random arm positions

Yeah, I have to agree with most of what has already been said:

1. Ork vehicles - Blech! The Orks driving them look like they have down syndrome and were stunted at birth, and the vehicles themselves are so small....Why do you think that most Ork players make their own scratchbuilt vehicles? At least have the trukks able to carry 10 models...

2. Tyranid Tyrant Guard - very un-powerful looking, and along with the Orkoid Biovore, one of the only Tyranid models I can't stand. And what's that all over its body...? Fungus? Dumb...

3. Dark Eldar - Not all of them; I personally think that most of the warriors are cool, with lots of spikes and some great looking rifles...but the ones with those huge fros and mohawk-like hairdos...those have gotta go. Also, the Wyches and Grotesques suck.

Although, I must say that I like all of the Necron miniatures. I don't know why that one poster up above has a beef with the warriors and Tomb Spyders. It sounds like his argument is that they don't rip off the Matrix sentinels and Terminator exoskeletons enough for his liking...hmm...

However, I would also have to say that Daemonhosts, IG Ratling Squads, and most Witch Hunter Inquisitors are also among the worst models.


As for what I think are some of the best, hands down that has gotta be the Daemonhunters Grey Knights Terminator models....they look like the most bad-ass looking tactical unit ever. Also, most of the Eldar Phoenix Lords are awesome, as are the Eldar Rangers.

And finally, I would say the the greatest looking armies all-around with a consistently good miniature lineup would have to be a tie between the Space Marines (booo!) and the Tau. Pretty well every mini in both those armies looks great.

my few cents would be the squats on bikes.

models i dont like is the
Sisters Repentia & Mistress
..... hate painting skin, and u can't send naked ppl into war that involve guns!

Worst model? Pretty much anything with those stupid head things :P You know, they have a thing about giving models ridiculous things on their heads, like the eldar/DE helmets, and the things on the inquisitors and librarians. I hate them. The DESTROY the model. I think most inquisitors look pretty cool, without the things on their heads...
Anything with stupid hair is also crap. DE vehicles...

I do agree with Houston that the Space Marines (YAY!) and Tau both have consistently good miniatures, except for the old Leman Russ model (the primarch, not the tank). I don't see how you could field a character that can quite easily break a Bloodthirster's back over his knee, but I suppose they had their reasons.

it can only be one thing realy

ultra-marine termanators. you just look at them and think why...

Malaika, the good news about a model like the DE or the SM Librarians having something on their heads that you don't like is that you could probably do a little trimming with your clippers, than presto, a model that more suits your tastes.

Hes not even out yet but its got to be Captain Shrike, if you havent held this model in your hands then your in for a shock....hes HUGE completely out of proportion with other SM models, hes practically big enough for a smaller Inquisitor model. Also his helmet sucks with the aquila making him look like he has some major nose deformity. Rubbish.

ork vehicles-- NASTY!! horrible!! and the bikes too!!

all DE xept for Incubi, warriors with helmets, and drazhar (droool....)

Jain zar- o my. doesn't this belong in the DE range?

Tau w/o helmets- i have a running 'boogerhead' joke with my friend...

classis gaunts, classic eldar, classic IG-- all so horroble. the new ones are all sweet tho.


houston-- yes. u got it.

the necron miniatures (especially FLAYED ONES!! drooooooooolllllll........... gotta get me some)
are absolutely awesome (except for the lord w/ staff of light.--he looks like he going 'duhhh...'

but Grey Knight Termies are hands down the best models in the range (along with that grot in the eavy metal showcase in the new rule book. the one with a headwrap and 2 revolvers. sweet! i must have it !!!

Tau (BOOO!! ban the rail gun!!) :realmad: when they have helmets and SMs are the best consistantly unless u count GKs as their own army

It's a tie between the biovore or tyrant guard. They may be okay in battle, but man are they ugly! :ph34r: I also never liked those dark eldar wyches.

I must add: Have good arguments before saying that models are ugly

One of the DE grav bike riders. He/She doesnt have any pants on. Who would go into battle forgetting their pants?

--- Erm, this is a question of taste and aesthetics... There's no way we can offer any other arguments than our personal opinion that something looks horrible/stupid/silly/ludicrous/etc. ;)


I vote for the Tyranid Tyrant Guard... Compared to the otherwise IMO good-looking 3rdEd Tyranid range, they're just too silly to fit in. I rather convert my own using Warriors.

From other armies, I find it odd no one has mentioned Imperial Guard Ogryns. Another "silly" remnant, these could definitely use a redesign!

Though don't you find it pointless when someone just say "THAT Sux!" without any point of argument or anything?

Atleast I do...
//Cheers

All the Catachans (Rambo-wannabes..)

Both Vindicare snipers; both look like queer dancers, not highly stealthed snipers... :angry:

The Catachans resemble an entire army of Rambo and Arnold, although in one or two small squads it's kind of cool but when the whole army looks like that it's strange. It's like the whole army should just stand there yelling lines from Rambo and Predator.

The Dark Eldar have some of the goofiest models out there, bike riders with no pants, some people look like they took a brick to the head, and the goofy hair doesn't help.

The old Tyranid models are 'interesting' to say the least, the Tyrant is holding a sword and looks like a Care Bear exploded next to it's so colorful, the Biovore is just confusing and the Carnifex makes the new 'Mr. Smiley' look like a masterpiece by Da Vinci. But about the weirdest is the old Lictor, it looks like it will explode at a moments notice. Although the new Tyrant Guard is messed up, he's covered in what appears to be mold and he's about as fearsome looking as a Down Syndrome kid with a nerf ball.

But for the ugliest of all I have to say the Imperial Guard Cook takes the prize, nothing is weirder and uglier than that chunky little man with his pistol and spoon.

:ph34r: The one thing i can't belive no one has mentioned is the Khorne Bezerker on Juggernought, his plasma pistol looks like a toilet roll & he face is all screwed up very very gumby. :ph34r:

the orgyrn models are all stupid. but the nork deddogg modell is pretty cool.

The old space marine model. they wern't any good untill the ones we have now and the way u could see the bullits in the clip and how the gun was so wide.

Dark eldar models.

and does anyone actually collect whfb on this website cos u barly ever see any new posts for them

i would like to say aesthetics values are supportable and that why there is difference between a like/dislike stamement and an aesthetics judgment

examine for emotional expression, realistic portrale and having a sense of unity so your judgment can be backed up

I'll choose a model from my wyches: the male one, with the huge bulge and the bug-eyes.

I don't know what is bigger, the bulge or the eyes.

I dislike nearly all of the older GW range, its no always ugly but they look so static.

One of the worst would have to be the Striking Scorpion Exarch with both arms in the air. Its the one that was out before they released the new striking scorpions.

I have a new favourite model though, the ninja gnoblar on this ogre.

I'd say 80% of the Dark Eldar range. Escpecialy the male Archon (what the hell is up with that skin-mask?) and the Hellions ( "Neheheh..I'll get you Batman! You can't outrun my skyboard!"). Those are just plain horrible! I really don't like Eldar helmets as a whole (DE included). Why are they so tall,what do they keep in all that extra helmet space? Thier lunches maybe?

so true, so true...


but being an HE player i cant really say that.. speaking of which their old spearmen SUCK

ogryns i forgot-- there some cross btw a WFB ogre and some messed up thing...

and what the hells up with ratlings? jee-sus!! they look like stunted midgets with toy guns!

the new keeper of secrets is pretty ugly too. better than the old 'goat head' one tho.

and that guy woth the triple melta thingie on the throne of judgement looks like he's either got five sets of braces or a radiator stuffed in his mouth!

In my opininion a model that needs a lot of work is the biovore. I dont like the sac hanging under its legs, its just too disgusting.

I think the Catachans have a whole lot more character than the Cadians. They may have well named it the Genericans.

Personally I think it's the Vindcator (http://uk.games-workshop.com/spacemarines/miniature-gallery/31/). Still stuck on the old style Rhino body even though the new Rhino has been out ages. This is supposed to be one of the most devastating tanks in 40k but just look at it!!! Compare it to the Forgeworld (http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/vindicator.htm) model and it's plain awful.

A Close runner up has to be the Ragnar Blackmane (http://uk.games-workshop.com/spacemarines/space-wolves-gallery/15/) model. The way his upper arms are tucked against his body and yet his forearms are 90 degrees to the side is an incredibly uncomfortable and unnatural pose.

wolfkin

The dark eldar wyches if they guy who designed them had spent as much time as he did on the witch elves then they would have looked so much better.

and does anyone actually collect whfb on this website cos u barly ever see any new posts for them


We like to hang around in WHFB forums, and this is a thread about the ugliest 40K models.
A carnifex and the Wraithlord is a bit ugly IMO. They're pretty static and it looks like they want a big hug.
Making a diorama with those two models hugging is my dream.

no the reason i dont like them is because they are ugly models and blatantly ripped off from matix and terminator (and for those who say what else could they look like there are other ways of making a skeletal robot, static X managed it)
im sorry if i offended thee oh almighty necron lover but i think the models are terrible, on the other hand the pariah and wraiths i think are nice models. we all have models we dont like and those are the opinons were voicing not other peoples taste in miniatures

also the new magnus calgar looks pretty awful with his arms tucked into his sides and his hands pointing outward

(the Gk are stunning models and i actually do have an army soley on them simply because of themodes)

I'm really glad these models are history. Wheel-chair bound necrons and indian orks?

if anyone has seen zoanthrope without its head gear they would understand, it looks like a giant worm with a big head, its amazing how much difference head gear makes

personally i like the DE, not wych models, dodgy lookin an dodgy to paint IMO.

i also am not a big fan of the catachans, they dont look right

i like the necron models :huh: except the deciver, or mr vagina head as i call him, is he part of the tau :lol:

for me, amongst the most rediculous figures : the old land speeder (http://uk.games-workshop.com/storefront/store.uk?do=Individual&code=9911010100600&orignav=301117)
It's almost like the landspeeder is a bagpack of one of the marines in (or : on) it! and it has the stupid colours of that day and the cone-ish heavy flamer (which is still the same on some models...)

hmmm.. :hmm:

i have to disagree with you on ur first point. the new marneus calgar model is pretty damn cool, and way more badass than the old one.. now THAT was a BAD MODEL.

and as i have said, gks are the best models in the game.

http://www.warbossminiatures.com/images/mi...reyknights1.jpg (http://www.warbossminiatures.com/images/miniaturepics/greyknights1.jpg) :wub:

'Nuff said.

Well I've got a few here that deserve a bit of ridicule:

1. Any female model. They are all terrible, without exception. Admittedly they are slowly getting more feminine, but Kruellagh the Vile (who someone mentioned earlier) is just the latest exhibit in the chain of evidence I am gathering to prove that there are no women in 40k; Only men and trans-sexuals. They are only OK when you can't see their faces...

2. The Last Chancers look like a gaggle of buffoons.

3. The Rough Riders would be OK if their hats weren't frickin huge.

4. Ratlings. Put some boots on for christ-sakes. Just coz you grew up on a low (or is it high?) gravity world doesn't mean you shouldn't shave your feet.

5. Most Dark Eldar and Harlequins look like leering 80's cock rockers.

I could go on...

I disagree with your comment about female models some are badly done but the slaves on .....(crap can't remember his name) ravager are very good looking models.

Yeah OK I grudgingly admit some are OK. But the vast majority are rubbish compared to most of Reaper's female miniatures, or the Warmachine models.

I don't know why they can't do them very well. Other company's sculptors seem to be able to do it.

Yeah I know the guy you mean with the Jabba the Hutt skiff thing. His slave girls are pretty well done.

But I've said it before and I'll say it again: All the Sisters of Battle look like Freddy Mercury.

You neglected to mention rackham who do great female models trust me have a look for the red lioness.

Hey, I have one of them, and I actually prefer it to the new one. And if you thought that one was bad, you ain't seen the really, really, old Land Speeder model. It had no front part - the crew were completely exposed to any incoming fire... admittedly they were wearing power armour.

Guess I'll agree with most here about the Dark Eldar range needing some models redone. Also, this guy (http://store.us.games-workshop.com/storefront/store.us?do=List_Models&code=303082&orignav=300901&ParentID=208577&GameNav=10) who looks like he wants a hug. Not like he's going to get it, swinging a chain axe like that.

i hate the abbadon army :lol: worst. model. ever :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

As far as classic models go, the old version of Guard Sentinels were terrible (to be fair, alot of the old models were pretty terrible).

In the current range, it is either the Leman Russ or Monolith. The Russ looks like some sort of silly dollar store toy made with big parts so little kids can't choke on it, and the Monolith is just plain stupid (although I imagine DE wyches live in constant fear of the necron house falling out of the sky and killing them).

As a die-hard Tau player, I don't lilke saying this, but the Crisis and Broadside battlesuits are a bit on the ugly side. Not totally ugly, I just have two problems with them:

1) The backpacks-they're HUGE! On the Broadside, I can justify them-they mount those wonderfull big-ass railguns. But they're ugly on the Crisis.

2) The lower legs. SO tiny and fragile! They're ugly, and they break a lot!

Krootox have got to be one of the worst models. Not only are it's stats terrible for it's points cost and opportunity cost, but I think it's ugly too.

Kruellagh the Vile

The worst 40k model ever, i hate the damn *****ing penis jock of a faggot

whats an anarexic terminator

It's blatanly the eldar jetbike riders. They updated the guardians but the jetbikers look horendous!

Ork vehicle crew are way too small.

Most Dark Eldar models are fine except wyches and warp beasts. Their vehicles rock, I love them. Absdrubeal Verct's raider is one of gW's best models.

Best models I think are the grey knights and all the male inquisitors.

I don't know if it's been said yet, but the Lord Solar Macharius model is absolutley the most bleh model ever.

I hated that model with all my passion, even though I loved his special rules, I would never use the model that they made for him in a game.

Imperial Guard Ogryns, one model (http://uk.games-workshop.com/storefront/store.uk?do=Individual&code=99060105043&orignav=10) for £8.00, and they look like obese bikers.

Or (I know it's 40k) but in WHFB, its got to be Chaos Dwarves..look (http://store.us.games-workshop.com/storefront/store.us?WCI=Menu&WCE=Search&Query=chaos+AND+dwarf&System), what are those hats about?

I just found the pic for my nomination

as in the movie "terminator" with arnold shwartza-whatever...


but ya its gotta be the leman russ tank, I'm sorry but it looks so out of proportion!
its like a fat, beached whale on the battlefield. :blink:

that and the DE jet bike riders with no pants...thats just sick

Possibly Ogryns. (N)

Yeah what the hell was the model designer thinking when he came up with the design for the Dark Eldar jetbike pilot. Also they should really have done the Krullegh the vile model much better but hey they didn't hopefully they will rectify that.

Uh, well i have a few that I really dont like:

1. Space Marine Terminators.
Well, not exactly the worst models in the world, but you just have to compare them to Grey Knights Terminators. They are so static, and small. Hopefully they will soon be fixed to coincide with the new Codex release.

2.Ork Vehicles
Don't really fit with the Ork way. Should be big and loud, with loadsa exahsts! :P

3.Witch Hunter Retinue
Just not great models, unlike most of the 40K world. They dont hit me with that 'wow' factor.

4.Throne of Judgement
Whats with the position of the sword? And the whole idea of an Inquisitor riding a Dreadnaught is just wierd...

5.Celestine The Living Saint
Good model, but the face is just dodgy, which is a shame.

I would say that the army with the best miniatures would have to be Tau. I love the miniatures. The Grey Knights are also really beautiful models.

oh man, im gonna have fun with this one.....

the familiar flying skull things for DH

Epic 40k space marines
