I thought that Furkisson was sweet!
I have two Marauder CD minis I'm not keen on. One looks like a Beastmen and the other has a mace that covers ,most of his face.
Well, I don't have a picture of him, but i'm going to have to vote for Nagash (AKA Bobo the Clown) as well.
I don't dislike the Nagash model, it just looks odd to me.  Being immortal is one thing, but making yourself bigger than an Ogre with some body parts out of proportion - it just looks weird.  Is he wearing a corset to get that narrow waist?  Why is his head/skull so big?  And those hands!

Most of the Dark Eldar models are awful, lizardmen look silly, but the kings of badness are Chaos Ogres and Chaos Trolls.  They might have been acceptable 20 years ago, but against the current stuff they are terrible both in style and concept.
The Chaos Ogres! How did I forget about them! The current Possessed weren't too bad. I just saw them as a little useless, seeing as the Chaos Marine box had a mutations sprue anyway.
GW originally did another version of Nagash, which wasn't released.

There are many terrible models out there, by many many companies. Perhaps limiting the discussion to GW will keep everything on the level.

Lemartes is really bad.
He was one of Mike McVey's training sculpts and I don't know why it was released.
The Death Company marines also by Mike McVey looked more like Dancing Marines (feel the beat of the tambourine, oh yeah!). They were replacements for Jes Goodwin's excellent (and anatomically in proportion) models.

I'm also hating the new Ogryns. The heads are atrocious.

Those Death Company Marines aren't bad. Orgyns? Are this coming out with that new 40K supplement?
For 40K i would have to say Dark Eldar. They are just such retarded models. I dont know why so many people around where i live collect them. Just look at their troops. That hair is ridicolous.

They ARE that bad. Look at the knees. They go in all the wrong directions. One of them looks like he's on tippy toes (even though he's not), another is "walking like an Egyptian". And they replaced figures which were orders of magnitude superior to them.

EDIT: And here are the figures that were replaced:

The ogryns are probably coming out for the supplement, yeah. Sneak peaks here for however long they last:

Picture two at the moment.

This one's rather cr*ppy, it's a Harlequin miniature called the 'Cloaker' Rolleyes
The terrible (sculpted at least) Cloaker!!!!


Is that a joke? It cant be serious

Haha, I hate the statue on my Cauldron too, so I turned it into an altar.
Good point. The Tree Kin are just as bad. I can't seem to work out where the head is.

Come to think of it, the Ents are just are bad.

Are you thinking of the new or the old?


The old one does make an excellent Cauldron of a Thousand Poxes, for a Clan Moulder Skaven army (just as an aside Wink)

I'd love that chunk of weapon for a model!
Since you all seem to hate Nagash so much im just going to have to give the one i jsut boughta n awesoem paint job and hopefully change some of your minds.
That Slayer actually has his bottom showing.
Yep, the BFSP dwarfs are awful.  I was planning on just giving them a mask.  After seeing how terrible they are in real life, I am tempted to sculpt beards onto them, just to hide their ugly boring sculpting.
One guy in mine and Ghrask's local GW actually has an army made up of just the BFSP Dwarfs and it looks ugly as sin. I know that my army ain't much better but there you go.
hehe, I've converted nearly all mine to look like the 6th ed Goblins.  Chop off the head and stick a new one on - does wonders!
I love that Gulrach model. I just remembered that the old chaos deamons were really badly sculpted models:
