Scurvydog Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 That model of the year award is a joke until the split AoS and 40k. It would be like asking for "story of the year" and put movies and books into the pot, sure some books might have the best stories, but a movie would still win. Same with combining 40k and AoS, just so so so many more 40k players and primarchs winning every year. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overread Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 How I should have voted - something from Necromunda becuase those multi part models are fantastic How I would have AoS voted - Mindstealer cat! How I did vote - Gunslinging Hexmark Destroyer I do agree splitting at least AoS and 40K would be neat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I will confess it hurt seeing Morathi lose to a meme-marine (as much as I do love the Noise Marine). I also think that our votes might get a little more split as it makes sense voting for a cool demonic Primarch when the other half of all 40k releases seem to be various different takes on Space Marines.

EccentricCircle Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Yeah, I voted for the Light of Eltharion, because it is the most striking of the new AoS releases. There are other models which I have enjoyed more, but I figured the less we split the AoS vote, the more likely we are for it not to just be another space marine (a fools hope perhaps, but a hope nonetheless...) 4 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really REALLY hate how so many of these rumors are perfectly viable as either AOS Cities or 40k Inquis/Ecclesiarchy. 40k doesn't need more Imperium models. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pointless until they split it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaskier Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 I voted for the C'tan Shard of the Void Dragon, but I also agree they should have split the voting for AoS and 40k. My AoS-specific pick (and runner-up overall) would be the Light of Eltharion. On-topic, I can't wait to see more Slaanesh, hopefully on Christmas! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jymmy Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 I voted for Illuminor Szeras (Althouh Aos got fine models this year, none of them was a lot of my thing). Also think that they should have divided the vote... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kramer Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 For me it’s the shadow stalkers. Not necessarily the most ambitious. But the posing on (most) of the models is just so evoking. if sigvald was an option he would definitely win 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber SunStorm Posted December 22, 2020 Subscriber Share Posted December 22, 2020 As others have said would be good to split it to 40k adjacent and AoS adjacent. For big center pieces, it's got to be between the Mega Gargant or the Void Dragon C'Tan, but I also really like the Wormspat Underworlds warband, they were so much fun to paint. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dekay Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 I very much agree 40k and AoS should be judged separately, popularity difference makes lit almost impossible for AoS model to ever win. But for now I voted Triumph of Saint Katherine, both for being a great diorama, a part of the best old model line refresh in recent years, composed of great models individually and a source of material for some of the best AoS converted armies i've ever seen. No contest here. Also: 8 hours ago, CommissarRotke said: Looks like Sienna's shoulderpiece It kinda does, and now I'm concerned that what we thought were new AoS human previews will be some limited commemorative Vermintide hero set with no purpose. That would hurt a lot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirSalabean Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 I think Necrons had a consistent amount of best models this year all are pretty awesome. When are the flayed ones coming though!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuneBrush Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 I've gone for the Formoroid Crusher. Just something I really like about that model (and have one to paint up at some point too) 2 minutes ago, Aleser said: Anyone found at what time we will have preview at Christmas day? If it's like other years it'll be somewhen between 9.30am and 10.00am (UK time). It'll be a pre-recorded video & WarCom article rather than Twitch. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ogregut Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 I went for the Ogroid Myrmidon, absolutely gorgeous sculpt. Had another thought about the rumour engines, as we seem to have a dualist and a witch hunter maybe it is a warhammer quest as they were both adventurers in the old one. If they do something like Blackstone fortress and we get lots of adventurers, based on the old stuff we could get Barbarian, wizard, aelf, dwarf, witch hunter, dualist, fyreslayer, warrior priest, questing knight, chaos warrior, aelf ranger, pit fighter, wardancer. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'd love that especially If they did it with AoS factions -like a Kharadron adventurer [not just a thunderer etc..], a Kurnothi Blade dancer [wardancer] etc.. [explore unique characters for the factions/sub factions]. For the vote I went for Bugmansson, cracking model but I agree with a lot of the other options folk went with - the Zoat was tempting as was the Formoroid Crusher, there have been a lot if brilliant models this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the right amount of detail, height, non-fiddly/easily-breakable bits and having a cool pose without leaping one-footed off a rock. It'll come nowhere near winning by virtue of not being a 40k model or as 'glamorous' a centrepiece, but hey. I do think Jakkob Bugmansson might be in with a decent shot though, being a recent model, one I've heard nothing but good things about and one-off, 'fun' promotional models also tend to do well popularity wise regardless of army/system - if any AoS model is in with a shot of winning it'd be him I think. My predictions are it'll be the Void Dragon, Ghazghkull or Bladeguard though. Edited December 22, 2020 by Clan's Cynic 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MitGas Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Some models feel like they weren't included there.... anyways, I don't even play Necrons or WHQ: Blackstone Fortress but my favorites were the Swindle Drone and Void Dragon... voted for the Void Dragon in the end. Both very cool minis IMO. AoS-wise it's been a rather unremarkable year for me personally as none of my favorite factions got much (if anything) but my favorites have got to be the Light of Eltharion, the Wurmspat (I love the guy with the spear, even if I shouldn't) and the Mindstealer Sphiranx. The new Warcry bands are also lovely models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
