Ugliest miniature of the last five year: NOMINATIONS!

[Avelorn]

I think the minoroids are a smidge better once you see them IRL. At least they go from "vomit inducing, melt over a furnace, bad" to "Shockingly bad, I'll have to hide that in the back of the army". Still not acceptable but the paintjob does them no favour, they have outlined parts that are not supposed to be muscles making the anatomy even more wonky. I have no proof of this but I think some clever modding and converting can make them look pretty cool, might have to try and see.

The Canis Wolfborn model is an atrocity. The rider is ok, but the so called wolf is terrible on so many levels from concept to the dumbwitted expression. I can't really see any way of fixing that mini without substantially resculpting at least half of it, so along with the OP I'd nominate that one.

I find the Razorgor to be hilarious though. Not a terrible sculpt either, just butt ugly.

@NSA: That thing is hilarious, your mother is a hamster!

 

[Prophecy07]

I agree with the Razorgors and Minotaurs. They are abominations. However, I think serious consideration needs to go to the Caestus Assault Ram by forgeworld. That thing is atrocious. It looks like a dog skull to me. Horrible.

 

[SkelettetS]

the new daemonprins is for sure no beauty either. flat as a pancake.

I can't think of anything specific right now but I'm heartily in agreement with most of the GW contenders posted so far, which are horrid. The Razorgor I don't think is bad, although not to my taste.

I'm going to try to come up with something from the field of historical miniatures because there have been some right dogs over the last few years. So let's see, has to be unattractive and expensive, that shouldn't be too much of a problem... although I'm not sure if I'll be able to find something really competitive to the low standard set so far!

I can't stand the giant Space Marine rip-offs that various studios churn out. Pressmoulded parts from various kits, cookie cutter detailing, laughable proportions & lazily finished.

Word.

This one... http://coolminiornot.com/252247 is currently on 8.8 in the Gallery. There's bare wire sticking out of the potted plant on his back, numerous lazy pieces like the heart on the breastplate but the hands, dear Lord, the hands.

Yep, and not a little of it too!

Start churning them out for cash, I'll treat you like any other producer of slipshod product

That's fair, because that's what they are.

GW figs look more like action figures with every release.

As for shite minis - almost everything Wargames Factory has produced thus far. Utter tripe. Their 'Zulu' figures are particularly dire. Mega Minis have released some cack as well. These steaming pieces of excrement make everything that GW has produced ever look like masterpieces:

I knew there was something else I wanted to mention, the Nurgle Demon Prince who looks like he has downs syndrome.

LOL modern zombies!
at least they're cheap!

 

[PegaZus]

I know a lot of people here think it's hilarious, so now that I've said it, feel free to insult my mother, etc.

Okay... uh... your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries. This mini's actually sitting in the drawer still. It'll get painted someday. If I didn't have plans for it already, I'd add some cheek jowls and make it look more obasan.

Tossing in a nomination for this recently released hideous sculpt sold by Miniwargaming: http://store.miniwargaming.com/product/epic-duck-eyebot.html.

The MWG store is a great place to buy stuff but this "Limited Release" is a joke. It's limited to only 300 runs folks so get this before it runs out! *Only* 13 bucks plus you get a signed autograph by the sculptor. Ugh.

Actually....I kinda like it!!! But i wouldn't ever pay more than a few bucks for it. 13 bucks is rather steep.

I always assumed "Mega Minis" had just bought some badly worn molds from another company and were churning out blobby crap for that reason That said, their animal models sometimes aren't bad. But if anyone was tempted to buy their human minis, better to just use paper tokens or something and spare yourself the grief of looking at something so ugly.

 

[blackbolt]

HA the nurgle prince made me laugh. although all in all its not a terrible sculpt

 

[alextheartist]

That massive Ilyad ogre guy.. horrible..

 

[gohkm]

Which one? Taurag? Or the Gauroch Avatar?

 

[Spacemunkie]

at least they're cheap!

So is dysentery!

 

[3dken]

I have to agree with the minoroids. But, the Pumbagor is a close second. I put the minos together from a black box and said WTF? And the Lat muscles on them? Even Lee Haney would say "Damn, they're on 'roids!" The only good part of those models are the heads. And, what's with the chick above? Is she firing hamsters from a shotgun? Haha!

Dysentery is only cheap if your intestinal lining is worthless

 

[freakinacage]

i think i have found worse than those pumba thing's from gw:

 

[BPI]

The Golgo Island stuff is supposed to be cartoony at least

Not that they tickle my Beastman button at all

Cheers, B.

 

[freakinacage]

not convinced b, there's cartoony and then there's just soft sculpting
