Quite some on which I agree here, but I find it strange that no-one mentioned these before: Watchers of Karna! The plastic Ent has also always looked pretty terrible to me. I also hate the design of the Half Trolls, Mahud, Serpent Lord and Guard (what's up with those back-banners?), Feral Uruk-hai, all the named Ringwraiths (bar the Witch-King, Khamul and the Tainted), Shagrat Warleader, Black Guard, Groblog, and Watcher in the Water, though my hatred towards some of these is also inspired by the fact that I reject them based on my vision of Middle-earth. |

For myself it's the Warriors of Dale and Warriors of Arnor (especially their captain, that eather is SO DANG UGLY) I just hate fur and cloth on helmets and metal armor. I actually love (in contrast to a few others) the Serpent Lord sculpt and the Serpent Guard. They look arrogant after all their riches from raiding and so they wear it into battle to intimidate their enemies, or that's at least how I've interpreted it and painted them as such |

I'd say the Ents (both plastic and metal) were pretty terrible, and the plastic wood elves too. The Golden King and his fat henchmen were also pretty bad, and both of the new Gollums. |

This is true lol As to Suldan I think it's funny when ppl complain about and don't assemble him with his back banners, because that completely changes the model and they missed the point. His banner forms the fan of the King Cobra that his helm depicts |

Also, never knew it was a cobra upon his head. Thanks for clearing that out, I thought of it like a leopard. Also, wow damn... I guess we have a winner

Merry from Defenders of the West (armour and shield) was also pretty badly posed. I'd nearly forgotten that one. I also don't like the Captain of Ithilien Faramir much, purely because he doesn't fit in with his army. He'd look much more suited to leading Swan-Knights of Dol Amroth than the men of Minas Tirith he's supposed to. Which Suladan is everyone hating on, anyway? The old, completely armoured one, or the more Harad-suitable one? |

I like the new Suldan, but others disagree lol. I just think the old model is very unimpressive and rather pathetic looking for an army leader lol, no inspiration for great deeds there |
