Aramis K Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 The vote is open for GW miniature of the year: https://www.warhammer-community.com/2021/12/21/vote-now-for-miniature-of-the-year-2021-choose-your-winner/ What do people think might win? What did you like best? Personally I really like the Ork Kommandos and the Crimson Court vampires for the personality in them all. In fact lots of the Cursed City and Soulblight stuff. My guess for the win, a centrepiece mini - maybe Helbrecht, Belakor, one of the dragons. Or the crab.

Marshal Loss Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Be'lakor for me.

DeadFingers Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 (edited) I have to give it to the Kommandos, they're just such excellent models. And it's not for lack of competition this year either. Be'lakor, all the AoS Slaanesh stuff, Gaunt's Ghosts, the Krieg boys, Helbrecht and company, etc. But I mean, just look at these lads. They have such loving amounts of personality, bits to customise them, and a bomb Squig. What more could you ask for?

Halandaar Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 I feel like most of the really outstanding mini design was in AoS this year. Some great 40k models for sure, but AoS was something else.

Kobrakei Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 I voted for Vahl, but mostly because I saw her before the Vampires. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/372691-miniature-of-the-year-2021/#findComment-5774773 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petitioner's City Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 (edited) I went for Sevireth, which is what led me to take the plunge into AOS miniatures. An absolutely beautiful evocation of an idea.. If I had a second vote, I'd go for the BT Castellan. I feel like most of the really outstanding mini design was in AoS this year. Some great 40k models for sure, but AoS was something else. I absolutely agree with this - I keep hoping the studio will bring the brilliance (and freedom) of their AoS designs to 40K. I'm not sure whether I am disappointed or not that the new eldar seem to be almost too faithful to their predecessors, and somehow don't seem to tap into the eccentricities of some of the older art (rather than models), or that the savage orks weren't very boat-pushing. Perhaps 40K's reliance on marines means it cannot get too eccentric, which is a real shame.

Tymell Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Glutos Orscollion, Lord Kroak, Be'lakor and the Necron Psychomancer all solid contenders for me, but in the end I had to give it to Dexcessa/Synessa, just such a stunning model oozing with a wonderfully Slaaneshi mix of grace and inhuman menace.

ThePenitentOne Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 (edited) I haven't picked yet- it's a really tough choice. Be'Lakor, Vahl, Dexecessa/ Synessa, Ork Boss on Shark Squig... Like I want to vote for all of that! Edit: Oh yeah, Cursed City! Which we're actually going to get to buy!

andes Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 I voted for Mozrog Skragbad. I’ve no illusions about him actually winning, of course. I just love the sculpt. The new Kommandos are a close second.

I wanted to go for the Skitarii Marshall as I love the model but it didn't exactly set the world on fire. For me it fell down to either the Krieg lads of the sneaky boyz. I loved building the Krieg lads but look at them! great sculpts, decent options. They don't have to be on a giant scenic base to impress me. Sorry Be'lakor, but you can't have my vote.

Sete Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 I voted Helbrecht which was a great revamp of my fav mini.

sairence Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 (edited) Has to be Belakor. I saw the model and was almost tempted to the Chaos side...then I considered that I was never going to do it justice and was saved in the Emperors light. :P Very few models leave that impression on me. When I recently faced on in a tournament for real the first time that was only reinforced. Truly impressive. On the AoS side I really liked that Angel-looking Sigmar lady.

Captain Idaho Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 It's got to be Belakor. It's literally one of the best models GW had every produced.

redmapa Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 I voted for the Castellan, its such an amazing figure that looks straight out of the page of the artwork its based on which is one of my favorite illustrations in 40k. They absolutely nailed that mini.

01RTB01 Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Honestly we're spoiled for choice this year. Last year was a straightforward choice, this year?! Torn between:Glutos SigvaldAoS Dragons Kommandos Mozrog/ squigosaur Even the basic krieg sprues are awesome The whole AoS slaaneshi range blew me away Lord Kroak Glutos is an outstanding diorama piece and a different take on Slaanesh, the ork range well, they're orks... Although "just" an infantry kit I'm going to vote kommandos. There's a reason I've got 30 and another 10 on the way. [first 30 are kommandos, last 10 will be death skull boys :) ] Honestly, never had such difficult choice and that says a lot about what they've produced this year. Well done and thank you to the mini designers!

skylerboodie Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 I chose Sigvald over Bel'akor in the end, though the paint job helped him over the line.

Mmmmm Napalm Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 I voted for the Blanche Castellan, but as 01BRT said there were loads of awesome models this year, which has probably been my favorite year for releases ever. Some of my favorites: - plastic Kriegers (amazing kit with tons of personality) - the entire Black Templars update Petitioner's City 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/372691-miniature-of-the-year-2021/#findComment-5774824 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenerationTerrorist Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 I was blown away by the images of Be'lakor. Then I saw the model in person, and was even more jaw-dropped.
