why carrion? i think thier cool, mabe a little more bandaging on the chest area. but cool none the less.

i say malekith is looking like a facemask...i mean, his face must be scarred, but how scarred must he be to wear a face mask?

the only one i really hate apart from the mentioned engineer, and etc, is the franz himself. the pimp hat is wrong.

Dread Lord is number 1, high elf spearmen, and high elf archers.

Not a fan of Beast of Nurgles, although the drawing of one in the book is really nice.

Nagash still gets my vote. Games Workshop REALLY needs to redo that one just to erase the stigma of the original model.

To this day I have no idea how THIS:

Ugliest model. Tough one, chaos ogres could be it, definately. I think the chaos trolls are awful too though, and the current 'normal' trolls likewise. I can't say I like Konrad von Carstein either, though not ugliest by far, I think he's more ugly than good looking. Can't see why people are bashing the new dire wolves either :o

Though perhaps not really current, what about the older cold ones which you still (as far as I know) get with the chariot? Or the VC Black knights for that matter.

Apparently they dropped and shattered the mould for the original figure and had to rescuplt it in 2 weeks or something like that. Thus we end up with a clown.

The current Wood Elf Treeman, with the little tounge sticking out. Its just silly.
Followed by those new Teradons, I much prefered the old models.

Id agree with Brad and Blackfel Nagash is a shocking miniature, along with the old manticore (the one GW painted with a red [!!] mane in the battle book) or the old Cold One Knights that looked like they couldn't carry their own weight never mind a fully armoured knight!!

Current models, Don't like the tentacle arm holding the shield on the new Chaos Lord, thats the only thing on that model, definately the Dreadlord on foot and not a great fan of the Zoanthrope model, prefer the old one for some reason.

skaven look horrible, except the new plague guys. i also think the whole tomb king range is pretty bad. though i dont care about those models looking horrible because i will NEVER use either army. (well maybe if the models get better ;) )

I don't like any of the Nurgle models. They all look ugly to me. Granted, they are supposed to be ugly, but something about them just doesn't do it for me. I don't see how people think Nurgle models are amazing or great...

Oh yes, please add my vote for Nagash as well - oh dear that was one ugly motherf*cker.

First time I ever saw Nagash I thought "It's the Sta-Puft Marshmallow Liche". I'd also like to throw into the ring the redone Eldar "Striking Bunnywabbits". When you redo a miniature, for God's sake make sure the new one is an improvement over the old.

Hmmm... the old Dark Elf RBT for me. Ridiculous looking piece of machinery. Then again, I'm not a fan of many of the older models (Black Guard still look kick ass though).
