Looks like Pictor's (Logan's wolf-drawn hoverchariot-sled thingamajig) and mine (Super-Ravenwing Land Speeder monstrosity) made the top 2: link

That's a really hard thing to pin down to just 5. How bout lines. I think I could do that.

Yes … there has been just too many over the years. And it looks like that trend is and will continue … AFAIK …

Someone should tell him the lid is down. Before it is too late…..

There was a necromancer in their Fantasy range – it looked like a clown form a kids party.

In addition to "Inconvenienced Dwarf" in Beast's post, there was "Chaos Toilet" and "Up Against the Wall Gang" – the latter featuring armored dwarfs and urinals.

Of course, I have all three sets. There may be a diorama some time in the future (or so I've said for the past 30 years).

I also remember a GW dwarf on stilts where there were boots on the dwarf and another pair on the stilts.

Half of blood bowl. Silly, but fun.

Flying Sharks.

Mecha marines.

And the list goes on … and on … and on … and on, etc. … but yet they still rake in the $$$$. money

Agreed. Perhaps it says less about the seller and, well, you know.

STOP BUYING SILLY MODELS!!!

Though I doubt that horse will ever drink.

Any ideas for GWs future silly models?

Dwarf giant? Nurgle medic? Orc intellectual?

Uh, what's wrong with silly models?

Even the original article just said they were odd, but said which one the author still liked.

I like the sleigh. It's like badass Santa.

The H Man22 May 2019 6:24 p.m. PST

I think most fall into both odd and silly.

I too don't mind the wolf sleigh. They have made some doozies, this is not the worst.

I feel, with 40k/Aog, that such models don't really help the company. Unless all publicly is good publicly. They need some people on staff to check for this kind of craziness before they get to production.

When people talk of such games one can say, "oh that game with the Daffy this, or that." I can't see that being a help. However, in this world, maybe it is?
