but don't we have some strong candidates representing GW's worst releases here already?

after 20 candidates we're launching our poll. so hurry with your candidates, or they are going to lose their chance to earn their well-deserved fame ^^

Ok, my first proposal. HeartBreaker/Target Games, '96 if the tag doesn't lie. Model is from Warzone range (Whoopie Goldberg, don't you think? ;) ):

next is Twin Barracuda also from Warzone. I think that head proportions and face expression will speak for itself (dirty a little, this is one from my bits box I haven't seen a photo on the web that could depict it in full glory. All photos I've found were too small, maybe for a reason :P ):

Candidate #17: Twin Barracuda [Target Games/Heartbreaker]

I think Target Games could compete in other field too like 'The most ridiculous miniature names'. If you associate their names with model look then brand new quality emerges ;)))).

...the Dusk Realm Demon is a brute in every sense of the word. It exists only to kill and maim and while it is given to fits of blinding rage, it commands a keen intellect. These Demons seem at home in the utter dark of the Under Realms and the sweltering twilight of the deep jungles. So hideous is the presence of a Dusk Realm Demon that it causes abject fear in all who encounter it and like its smaller cousin, is capable of devastating attacks with its horned head. A charging Dusk Realm Demon has been known to be able to withstand the charge of a Bull Myrmadon.....
I think that everyone dies from laugh encountering it ;)))).

Candidate #18: Chronopia: Dusk Realm Demon [Target Games/Heartbreaker]

Maybe something more:

Candidate #19: Chronopia: STYGIAN VENOM SPAWN [Target Games/Heartbreaker]

I think that this mini should be called 'Stygian Venom Spider Spawn'

Well, I think I will stop now. Target Games/Heartbreaker should have 'A Life achievement' award in this category.

Candidate #20: Bad Girls [Fenryll]

actually there are many more comparable (or better!) "classics" on their website. I just didn't want to exceed 20 entries (yet).

so are we calling it closed and making a poll now, or letting others enter their candidates too? :mrgreen:
