Welcome to Gaia! ::

It's a deep question, one that must be answered by as many people as possible! Preferably with pics! blaugh

I'll bite with some boring minis I love to death.



The Astropath and Imperial Navy officer are both some of the best sculpts ever done by Juan Diaz, the guy who has had a heavy hand in Space Marine and Dark Eldar designs. The astropath is true to the source materials: A lack of eyes, robes to hide the wasted body, a staff with a badge of office on it. The naval officer is taken straight from the pages of Jes Goodwin's design books, wearing the proper uniform and accoutrements.

Another personal all-time favourite has got to be the Cadian company commander, sculpted by Brian Nelson and picked by none other than Jes Goodwin as the first mini to enter Citadel's hall of fame:



He's standing there, at guard, holding the sword with his thumb and index finger, his other hand balled behind his back. Aside from the armour, the model is clean, simple and a nice straight vertical line that shows us a mini that can come across as haughty, or commanding.

Main reason I like these miniatures is because they do not need to scream or hold weapons in the air to show off their power and purpose. The hobby is already filled to the brim with stuff like that, I'm glad to see some other minis out there that break away from the masses and do their own thing, with a quiet, muted dignity.

Remind me to throw an announcement out later today or tonight, should give me some time to think about my own personal favourite. ninja

Thank you! The announcement has been sent out! emotion_yatta

Now then, my own choice has got to be this chap:





An exquisite model with detail on every millimetre, a project that demands TLC and will receive it. Personally, to me this is less of a gaming piece and more of a model to be put on a shelf or a in a fancy cabinet as a display of your own skills as a hobbyist.

Well for starters, it's a very solid pose. Not too active, but not too relaxed either. The face is intent, and the sword is, IMHO, one of the best swords in the GW range. His easily accessible front and back make it easier to paint the entire model to fine detail, and offers great opportunity to convert.

Here's mine:



Inquisitor was my game, it was what I enjoyed the most and I was gutted when GW stopped supporting it. I had a few characters but the mutie based on this model was one of the funniest to play with.
