An EVIL question! It's like asking for my favourite child!

I'll pick a few!

On a technical level, I think Big Mort is definitely one of my best!

But alas, with how good that model is it's kind of hard NOT to have him be one of your bests. He has only seen one game so far where he absolutely obliterated Angron. I was very smug :3

Vicar Amelia is definitely another one of my faves!

As a whole, my Bloodborne collection is definitely the "Crown Jewel" of my ensemble of tiny toys. I seem to have developed the most skills from painting these and they still remain some of my best minis despite being done a few years ago now. Amelia was one of the first too and I'm just very happy with how she turned out! She also gets bonus points for being my favourite boss in Bloodborne.

Lastly for the good ones, how could I not include the Baneblade?

I think this is probaaaaaaably my favourite out of everything. It's a giant tank and as someone with a huge hyperfix on the things it's no surprise that the biggest of them all is my favourite. I got this thing when I was around 13 I think and it's been repainted a total of 2 times now. Once in Cadian 8th colours, then repainted and improved, and then repainted again in December last year so it can fit with my traitor guard. I intend to use it as an imperial knight one day but for the meanwhile it is a glorified terrain piece in most of our games.

Now for a one I don't like?

It took a while to figure out but when looking through my mini shelves I settled on the only figure I've ever given up painting:

The Soul of Cinder! You'll notice his sword has snapped off...

Earth was attacked by strange extraterrestrial animals. They had bodies that were a mix of a wolf and hyena, platypus bills, and could release swarms of flying ants from holes in their skin to help them track stuff.

I think there was also something along the lines of if you went out during the day you'd become completely paralysed.

its been 1 year since I got my marill

The new Deathguard Codex is tons of fun!!!

The army was already really fun beforehand but now the new additions make it perfect!

Units that were a little underwhelming are now a lot more fun and flexible, such as the poxwalkers who can be led by Sorcerers and Blightbringers to improve their damage and mobility. The changes to Blightlords are fantastic too! What were once an overcosted low-damage unit are now a very sturdy and deceptively deadly wall of walking tanks! They can be taken in threes now too which is a fun little change.

I think, however, my favourite additions are the detachments. Oftentimes a codex comes out and there's only really one good detachment amidst a handful of mediocre ones. Or there is sometimes a detachment that is borderline useless (crusher stampede flashbacks). However, not in this one! Each detachment is awesomely flavourful and full of potential! They're also pretty straightforward in what they do as well which is a major positive for someone who actively avoids overly rulesy armies. I think my favourite of them is the poxwalker focused detachment as it perfectly encapsulates that endless tide of undead, turning what are usually a fairly ignorable distraction unit into a horde that has devastating potential!

I played this detachment on Sunday's game and was amazed to see them wipe entire units which consequently replenished them right back to full strength! Things got tricky once my buddy realised he could snipe the characters leading them tho :P (having played vampire counts in Fantasy prior, I was happy to be reunited with this crucial weakness).

Oh and the changes to Deathshroud terminators was a nice surprise! What were already the best heavy infantry in the game have been made even stronger with a horrifying toughness of 7 and 4 wounds! Not to mention the buffs to their sweep profiles which were previously entirely ignored due to how bad they seemed in comparison to their strike.

Typhus also got given a far stronger sweep profile which he used to great effect in decimating an entire Tau Breacher squad before his bodyguard could even do anything!
