GW- plastic eldar wraithguard
Heroscape- Sonlen
Monpoc- Zor Magna
Monpoc- Leviathron
Monpoc- ultra ancient Osheroth
AT-43- therian golgoth
Prodos- Alien warriors
Prodos- colonial marines
Heroclix- galactic guardians dr. Doom
WotC D&DAS- gibbering mouther

Bar none, my absolute favorite miniature:


There's also a few dozen that I could list from GW and PP that I adore.
As far as boardgames go though?

The Ezghoul from Mutant Chronicles: Siege of the Citadel
Red Baron from Rivet Wars (there's another half dozen that I love from that line as well)
Gargoyle from HeroQuest is an icon from my childhood
Same with the Ogre from BattleMasters (up there with the Empire Cannon)
The AT-ST is a very nice model
Going into Star Wars: X Wing the B-Wing was always my favorite from the movies
The Alpha Hunter from Star Trek: Attack Wing is one my new favorites from that line where the paint and mini is very nice
The old style Genestealer from Space Hulk and Space Crusade, I have such a history with the 'Nids that it's iconic for me

Two more of my favorites from my minis days though are the Black Ark from Man o War


And the Halfling Hot Pot Throwers

Very creative thread... good idea.

That Halfing Hot Pot Thrower is a riot! I love it.

Mutant Chronicles: Siege of the Citadel - Sean Gallagher. I like his pose, and he kind of looks like Bret Hart.
Crossbows & Catapaults (1983) - The little brown Vikings. They had tons of detail and a great sculpts for such small miniatures.
Heroscape - Any of the Axegrinders of Burning Forge.
Heroscape - Either of the two Capuan Gladiators who aren't the dorky-looking retiarius.
Ravenloft - Undead Dragon
Dark World - Korak/Manticore (tie)
X-Wing - TIE Defender
Heroquest: Barbarian Quest Pack - Frozen Horror
Shadows of Brimstone - Slasher
Space Crusade: Mission Dreadnought - Tarantula

Well, I don't think I can ever make a coherent top 10 list. But I've always loved Games Workshop's space marines line. Simply iconic. Tactical squad, scouts, assaults, devastators, rhino, drop pod, predators, terminators and dreadnoughts.

Hey nerds, it's called a dracolich.

I don't have a top 10, but I did a nice job painting Jeff Dealer from Earth Reborn so I'll call him out.

Also, the whole box of Cthulhu Wars is fantastic, but I suppose if I had to pick one it would be Cthulhu himself.

awesome idea for a thread though i don't think I have an interesting top 10 (never really thought about it before).

1. Space Ork Pirate

2. Skag the Stealthy (GW dwarf), one of the first models i bought as a kid and I still own.


3. The Kraken from dreadfleet

4. The levitating wizard from Wiz-war.

6. The kraken from Cyclades

7. the 40k Eversor Assassin with a sword.

8. The Gnomes from Red November

9. Gandalf from War of the Ring

10. The space marine with claws from Spacehulk 3rd ed.

That Space Ork Pirate rules! I love GW sculpts and their early 80s and 90s artwork. It was cool, but it also had a sense of humour about it. If I had the time and money I could easily see myself dropping stupid amounts of money on a Warhammer/40K army. The stuff just oozes badassery.

Just look at that guy...

Chomping on a cigar? Check
Rocking a massive storm bolter? Check
Old school pirate hat? You betcha
Some sort of powered arm/hand gauntlet? Awww Yeah.

The awesome paint job just brings it all home.
