Hello everyone, I was looking around on the CMON shop for minis for my next project. So far I've only painted gw miniatures and I think it's time for something else. The CMON shop is packed with miniatures and it's so hard to decide which ones to buy. So I 'me wandering, what is your favorite model? If you have to choose one model you really think one should paint, what model would that be?
Your favorite miniatures

I'd suggest trying something wildly different to GW rather than as similar as AoW. For example, the Hasslefree stuff, they can look so simple in comparison but are a refreshing change to paint. Easy to blast through for the satisfaction of actually completing something with plenty of room for fancy pants blending or freehand should it take your fancy. Plus you won't have to paint any skullz or deal with swapping out F***C**t multiple times to get an acceptable cast 
Also, should you get a couple done by the new year, you could submit them into the Platoon Britannica HF contest in order to snag more goodies!
Whatever you choose, have fun! There's a wonderful array of minis out there for the adventurous shopper
I don't have a specific fave to point to, I want them all!
Cheers, B.

I'll have a second bat...
Emilia "Foxy" Foxwell sculpted by Andrew Rae for his new venture Statuesque Miniatures. I don't own one yet as he was out of stock last time I shopped due to being swamped with orders. I think it's a nice piece with room for patterning on the trousers, plenty of flesh to play with, nicely sculpted hair and the basing is made easy I think it achieves the balance between pulpy cheesecake and threat very well too.
Are you aware of the favourites section for users? I think it might be paid up "Premium" members only but if you click on their user name, then View Profile, then select the About Me tab, you'll be able to see entries in the Gallery that the user has marked as a fave. Assuming they've utilised the function of course! I tried it for a while to help me easily locate reference pieces but it's a neat way to nip about and see what people like Gives you a different mix to the Gallery top 20 last week or just filtering by score.
Cheers, B.

Hasslefree and Darksword are the my two favorites. Lots of very nice and reasonable models.

I couldn't pick just one mini, actually I could but it would be pretty arbitrary and meaningless as a result. I can however firmly plug Enigma's stuff, many pieces are intriguing, excellently sculpted and they're generally well cast from what I've seen.

Love that too, stonking sculpt.I'll have a second bat...

Going to go out on a limb:- Malifaux's Lucius
A simple sculpt with a lot of potential for working tones and highlights.
