Goatboy right here to wind down the yr. This little record is all about fashions you hate to see on the tabletop dealing with you, however secretly like how they appear.
Goatboy right here with some extra 40k nonsense for this Vacation week. I hope everybody bought some issues they needed for Christmas. I additionally actually hope you bought an excellent meal this yr and perhaps some scrumptious dessert to fill your tum tum. You may most likely guess quite a lot of these simply primarily based on the armies I actively dislike – however let’s begin the record.
5. Avatar of Khaine – Aeldari
I bought to color one in every of these Aeldari Avatars earlier this yr and it actually solidified this considered hating the mannequin however secretly loving it. It was a tremendous mannequin to construct and paint. I had a ton of enjoyable with it and going right into a loopy scorching pink fashion to go in a distinct route than the conventional fireplace motif you see on others. I additionally simply hate seeing this mannequin on the desk as a result of I do know my opponent will roll a crap ton of 4+’s for his or her saves after which devastating wound my fashions to oblivion. I hate/love this mannequin a lot.
4. Commander Farsight – T’au Empire
This mannequin appears fairly superb. I used to be secretly hoping I’d paint him for Larry in some unspecified time in the future however it didn’t come to me when he got here out final yr. I simply discover the T’au Empire fits so neat to take a look at and from a paint perspective they’ve a lot attention-grabbing types going for it. You may go onerous into the OSL, Manga Fashion, and even simply grim and soiled as all of them work. It’s only a good mannequin however I do know if I see him and his different go well with pals on the tabletop I’m going to be rolling and failing a ton of invulnerable saves.
3. Abominant – Genestealer Cult
I feel that is a kind of fashions that I’ve PTSD for as a result of an enormous fee I did years in the past. It spanned a couple of editions so it simply felt like it could by no means cease. I really like the thought of those lumpen GSC guys as they only look cool and their guidelines are superior. They aren’t superior to play in opposition to however they really feel like one thing I’d like to play or a minimum of have one thing comparable in one in every of my chaos armies. I nonetheless hate this dudes with a ardour once I see them as a result of I do know I must kill them twice.
2. Celestine, the Dwelling Saint – Adeptus Sororitas
I’ve paint this one years in the past and have handled this character for years. Throughout the Deathstar days of 40k there was a military that make the most of her and a ton of different tremendous pals to create a homicide ball of a unit. This was effectively earlier than she bought an up to date plastic mannequin so this dumb metallic jerk would go round, wreck my face, and make me mad. They got here out with the brand new plastic one that appears superb and is such a ache to take care of. I’m grateful she isn’t nearly as good as she was however each time I see her on the desk high along with her Sororitas gang of pals I simply know she will likely be a thorn in my aspect.
1. Lion El’Jonson – Darkish Angels
It is a mannequin I haven’t painted but although I assumed it was probably the greatest designs to return out for a Primarch. I simply assume there may be a lot neat stuff occurring with the mannequin between the armor types, head choices, and weapon load out. I’m glad they made him higher however I hate enjoying in opposition to him. I’ve put so many wounds into a couple of of them throughout my event video games and watched as that 3+ save does effectively or if I someway throw Mortal wounds into the Lion and his 4+ simply will get scorching. He survives all my ire and simply runs across the desk high like he owns it. I do know why he knocked out Angron and whereas I perceive a 3+ invulnerable save I nonetheless don’t assume it must be persistently within the recreation. I actually want Fulgrim bought the Lion glow up however I suppose must wait for an additional Darkish Angel Dataslate replace or two.
