Crappy sculpts, fantastic sculpts

Reaper has some excellent minis.

Thunderbolt Mountain also has some very nice ones, with exquisite detail.

Personally, I love anything sculpted by Julie Guthrie. She and Werner Klocke sculpt some of the best females out there, mainly because they don\'t suffer from \"breast implant syndrome\".

I\'m in love with the Green Knight of Bretonnia. I\'ll also vote for anything from Hasslefree. I\'m also partial to most of Reapers stuff.

Bad sculpts. New Scouts. Whats wrong with them? Whats right with them?!?! The LotR heros that are the same model, except this new one is *drum roll* looking in the other direction!!!1!!!1!!omg!!!1!! Wow, what did they do, swap the moulds arround or something? I\'ll think of some more particullary bad ones and heap scorn upon them later.

What are people on about LOTR minis sucking, if anything they are some of the best sculpts GW have done although the plastic are not as good as they should be.

I love Rackham, Hasslefree and Warmachine sculpts packed with character you can bring out.

currently im a big reaper/rackham fan. HF and a lot of the smaller companies are great too (and they are so nice at HF!)

I\'m a big fan of Reaper and Rackham too. In fact, it was Reaper minis that got me into mini painting in the first place- I was looking for a character mini for a planescape game, and they had a great selection. I love many of the Reaper dragons, too. I have a couple sitting at home.

Having said that, tho, I do think that a few of their scuplts are a little \"cheesy\", but that\'s not to say they\'re badly done, just that I\'m not a fan of some of the poses. Most of them are awesome, like this guardian beast I picked up recently \'cos he really caught my eye! I didn\'t like the colour scheme, so I supplied one of my own, based on one of the minis by Doctor Faust http://www.coolminiornot.com/60700:

Rackham are just very pretty- I particularly like the elves and the wolfen. Their new Daikinee archers are lovely, and I\'m thinking of getting some just \'cos.

Good vs Bad

Hmm, I´m obviously part of a minority as I´ve painted exclusively GW minis (mostly marines) so I can´t comment on sculpts I have not yet painted;
Good: Inquisitor Torquemada box (except for the heavy weapon), new termis (add to very nice minis) one of the new chaplains;
Bad:new scouts, they´ve got chins like schwarzenegger (I like the guy, mind me), Captain cortez (man he is ugly and strange pose) GW promo mini (having a piece of chainmail over the armor is nonsense, and some mould lines are hard to remove).

You should not balst GW, I think they´ve got enough good sculpts worth the money.
