Mohojoe Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 What is your favourite kit or model for Age of Sigmar? It doesn't have to be one of the new models but would be good to hear a bit of explanation behind it. Personally mine would be the Giant (Gargant) kit I love this kit because it comes with a plethora of parts and options and lends itself perfectly to conversions. Also as a relatively new painter the larger scale suits my abilities better. Every time I see the kit I get excited about how I can use it or what I can make out of it. A close second purely aesthetically would have to be the Night goblin fanatics (moonclan grot fanatics) I love these models as they remind me of being a nipper and buying clam packs every weekend with my pocket money based on how the figures looked. these guys were jam packed with character and humour for me. a personal favourite was the poor little fella who was being lifted off the ground by his wrecking ball So those are my offerings. What about you lot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discoking Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 There's so many amazing kits nowadays it's hard to say what my fave is but the recent Rotbringers kits are probably my favourite. As for golden oldies,this dude has held a special place in my heart ever since I bought him(and his Minotaur Lords buddies) for Advanced Heroquest.

Definitely, love the nurgle stuff they have been putting out. I used to love the old Mummy figures in heroquest even though they were super simple!

Soulsmith Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 The kits are just going from strength to strength these days. It is tempting to say Blood Bowl orcs, but I'll stick to what I own, in which case the Weirdnob Shaman. It has so much character, and I love all the nods back to the old metal Nazgob Orc shaman in fantasy. Do love the giant though, I have two!

DarkBlack Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 The mutalith, I had a great time building and painting it. The model is well designed to be a centre piece and looks awesome with my Slave to Darkness. Fun to play too, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amysrevenge Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 I really liked the Celestant-Prime, as far as models that were a joy to build, and a joy to paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Skycutters. The boat itself resembles Eldar ships from Battlefield Gothic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say I love the giant kit too. Ever since I saw the Sons of Behemat formation I've been tempted to buy a load of them and try an all gargants army. Imagine if they got a battletome! My personal favourite, and possibly the best kit GW have ever released, is Alarielle. It's a thing of beauty. It's almost sculptural. The contrast between the solid, hard lines of the mount and the movement of Alarielle is like nothing GW have done before. It almost shouldn't work. A spectacular piece.

I have considered it myself I must say, if they do get a battletome ever I will be first in line at my local store for giants and green stuff! My missus tends to get bored of me talking about models and stuff but when she saw Alarielle even she was stunned. That was the model that convinced her to start collecting centrepiece models. The mount itself is beautiful as well and would easily work as a stand alone model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've found the Holy Grail: a woman who likes Warhammer. When I first got back into miniatures, my wife used to humour me and look at White Dwarf if I waved excitedly in front of her. See just rolls her eyes now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Choombatta Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 My all-time favorite sculpt is the Chaos Warshrine. I love the look of it. My all-time favorite model to paint was the Dragon Ogre Shaggoth followed by Be'lakor. My all-time favorite post AoS release model would be either version of the Slaughterpriest. Fantastic models. Archaon, Alarielle, etc. are all amazing models, but since nobody in our gaming group has them, I cannot pick any of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cranect Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 My favorite so far is the bullgors. They go together well and easily and even though I'm not real into the painting they were fun to paint since you could progress fairly quickly and its just a neat model.

Xerox Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Defenetly Archaon followed by Alarielle. Both are stunning models and were so much fun to paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lissë-Prime Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 My favourite model so far is the Stardrake. It is the most good-looking dragon in the miniature game I've played. Actually I would like it to be a bit larger but I understand that it would not be practical for playing. It has easily become the centrepiece for my collection.

RuneBrush Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Out of the models I currently game with I think my favourite to assemble and paint is the Khorgorath. The quality of the sculpt is fantastic and it almost "wants" to be painted. Classic wise it has to be the Dwarf Battle Standard Bearer that was part of a big box back in 2000 (though I picked mine up in '99) - still stands up to close scrutiny now and has fantastic definition.

Broken Netcode Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Im gonna put up Harry the Hammer. Simple in detail, yet with so much character and an ease to paint even with the scenic base. I use him as a Lord of Chaos when I feel like being fluffy to the old world ( ashamed to say I do miss those times ). If you can find one on ebay, I highly suggest picking it up even if its just to paint. Thats why I have 2! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoffeeGrunt Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Personal favourite would be the Terrorgheist. Just look at 'er! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCharisma Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 My favourite model is one of the Empire models that I don't actually own... the War Wagon. I love the craziness of this chariot that is full of experimental Empire weapons. Second place goes to the Halfling Hot Pot. Is there anything scarier in wargaming than a vat of soup being sent towards your troops? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie Grimwood Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 It a +1 on the Khorgorath for me, did the one from my starter set enjoyed it so much I picked up two more on eBay. That said I've really enjoyed all the new Bloodbound model really good. Honourable mention should go to the Marauder Horseman set they're great models and the details/extras in the set are brilliant for kit bashing other stuff. One can never have too many skulls on chains in the bitz box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warboss Gorbolg Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 I've always really loved the giant and swamp trolls. I also think that the latest Azhag oozes O&G character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kramer Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 So much to choose from. I always like the Slaanesh models. I loved the backstory of the chaos god and it helped that I never started a chaos army, the models are always prettier in your neighbours garden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
