In order to help a consensus emerge, I am starting this informal ranking.

Rank only the models you have actually built. From the best to the one you liked less.

My go:
1-Japanese (loved those guys, lots of combinations, very good fit)
2-Winter Soviet (really liked those)
3-US Marines
4-Soviet infantry
5-US paratroopers

If you have built Bolt Action plastic figures, how do you rank yours?

Ranking all the ones I've built:

1) Brit/Commonwealth.

Everyone will have a different opinion, but here's mine since you ask:
1) British / Commonwealth (and Commandos).
2) US paratroops (useful prone figure for MG teams etc.)
3) Blitzkrieg Germans (again useful prone figure for MG teams etc.)
4) Old Germans
5) US infantry (limited body poses reduces variety).
6) German grenadiers (stumpy bodies with the worst proportions of the lot).

I misunderstood the thread header and thought "rank" was an adjective.
