new Rat Avatar is defs in top 5 for me now. all the tiny rats peppered throughout, Perfection
Omg it absolutely is
In terms of normal troops, the rockgut troggoth box is insane, the amount of unique options you can make is completely unreal!
Yeah totally!
Maybe I'm scared of the giant minis but a lot of my favourites are pretty small / infantry-sized: Bastian Carthalos and the Light of Eltharion are both in my top five.
The Freeguild Cavalier-Marshal isn't just number one, it just might be the best Warhammer model ever IMO
Oh wow! Best Warhammer model is a big take!
Morathi has to get a mention. Also the guy with the water cape
Oooh Eidolon!
I'm here to hear you talking about a hobby I don't play, collect, or plan to get into.
Guess that makes me, what, a simp? Dunno. I just enjoy listening to you guys.
That's the biggest compliment of all. Thanks so much mate 😁♥️
While I don't think they have quite as much singular standout presence as some other ranges, I still stand by that Nighthaunt have the loveliest model range in AoS as a whole. When a single old model is the only thing holding back your range, you know you're eating good. Love each and every one of those lil ghosties
Yeah we really have a soft spot for nighthaunt as a whole!
You both are my favorite internetters and seeing this one early put a smile on my face thanks as always guys great stuff
LUTHER AND SIGISMUND
LUTHER AND SIGISMUND 👀🥵
@@the_kieran_show ❤️
My top 5:
1)Harbinger of Decay
2)Cities of Sigmar Freeguild Cavalier-Marshall
3)Ushoran, Mortarch of Delusion
4)Slann Starmaster
5)Mangler Squigs
Some real crackers in there!
Be’lakor’s wings just looks like a box to me, I can’t unsee it
They are VERY big wings 😂
If this was *units* you’d have to say Gobbapalooza, but what’s interesting about AoS is it caters for fans of a lot of different aesthetics - from Belakor to giant turtles to gods on stag beetles to steampunk dorfs with gunstaches.
As a longstanding squig enthusiast I have to put a shout out for the quite small and low-key but super cool MF Doom-inspired Squigboss with Gnasher Squig. A perfect little dude.
Yeah AoS really does cater to all its play styles!
Something from the idoneth range, either Mathlann or Volturnos would have made my list but still great picks, we're blessed with lovely sculpts in AoS indeed
We really are blessed!
Teclis is insane. Can’t wait to get good enough to start mine. Imagine how insane Tyrion could look if they ever get around to doing him.
Do it! I'm really trying not to pick one up 😂
He's not as hard as you think! I'm nearly done painting mine, and it's one of the few lumineth models that actually takes dry brushing really well (since Celennar is covered in fur and feathers).
Also, the model is gigantic. The photos really don't do it justice
the god of t-pose at 1 and the queen not even top 5, the sheer lack of taste.
Mine are probably:
1. Morathi
2. Alarielle
3. Freeguild Marshal
4. Glutos
5. BIG PIG!!! 🐖🐖🐖
DAAAAA PIGGGGGGG
Interesting lists, I don't collect AoS but I've always wanted to get The Glottkin to use as a Great Unclean One.
He's a beast!
Kieran’s top 5 dragons and diorama’s.
Correct 😂😂😂
Ushoran is the model that finally made me bite the bullet and start collecting AoS. Since then, I've got Skaventide, and i think the entire Skaven refresh is unbelievable
The gateway drug!
Great choices all round! Nothing wrong with being a Dragon simp!🤣 Love the AOS model range! My top choice at the moment is Tuskboss on Maw-Grunta! Love the giant pig! 🐗
DAAAA PIIIIIIG
Only one of my top 5 was in either list. Aos is just so much deeper in quality of models.
Yeah totally!
Let there be dragons! Some fab pics gents. Great work and thanks for all the inspiration
Thanks for coming along 🫡🫡
dude... 40k Minis suck...
I don't know if they suck, but they're certainly not as good as AoS that's for sure.
Eh nah. Just a few of them do
There are some gems, but it is quite clear that GW will not put the same effort, regarding both the rules and minis, into 40K.
It bloody tragic. GW have something special and they just refuse to treat it with the dignity it deserves. But who cares aye? Those corporate cunts will continue to fail to list their artists, or support fan works and grift the people who really love this universe.
at least nothing in 40k looks like the entire idoneth deepkin range haha they look awful. all I can see is that fish king dude from rick and morty or Just oldschool aqua man lol
@meh1994able
That sounds more like not liking the look/identity of the army range than the army actually looking bad.
These were some pretty good picks. I don't agree with all of them, personally speaking, but there's nothing I'd raise an eyebrow at, that's for sure.
Also, since you asked in the video, the name of the Sphinx with Teclis is "Celennar, Spirit of Hysh" otherwise known as "The True Moon of Hysh". Like the Wind Spirit kit and our beloved COOOOOOWWWW MOUNTAAAAAIIIINNNNN, Celennar is an "Aelementor", an elemental spirit of The Realm of Light made manifest by the Lumineth's magic. Celennar is the spirit of Hysh’s moon, as the name and iconography on both him and Teclis imply. I might have actually put Celennar on the list, because he's awesome! But I don't like Teclis himself. Which is why I'll probably just build the kit without Teclis tbh.
But, as is tradition, here are my top 5, with some honorable mentions(this was NOT easy!):
1: Morathi-Khaine/The Shadow Queen- She stole godhood from the belly of an imprisoned Slaanesh. She stole Anvilguard from Sigmar after obtaining said godhood. And she stole my breath with the quality of her sculpt. Out of all the models I own, this is one of the very few that legitimately *scares* me when I think of painting it. Because I want to do her justice.
2: Ionus Cryptborn, Warden of Lost Souls- Absolutely gorgeous model! I love how haunting he is and how effectively his theme is captured. Not to mention the LOOOOOOOOORE!(he had history before getting this awesome model, which earned him bonus points in my book)
3: Sevireth, Lord of the Seventh Wind- It's a magic fox shooting arrows while riding a tornado. How could I not put this somewhere on the list? For the record, I wanted to cheat and throw EVERY Elemental Spirit in the Lumineth range here, because theyre all gorgeous and amazing, but I didn't, out of restraint.
4: Kurdos Valentian, the Craven King AND Awlrach the Drowner- I couldn't pick which of these awesome Nighthaunt characters I liked more, so unlike the Elemental Spirits of Lumineth, I'm ok making this a tie. Seriously, when you have a moment, look at the backstories of all the named characters in Nighthaunt. They're all amazingly grimdark!😉
5: Belthanos, First Thorn of Kurnoth- I don't own or play Sylvaneth, but MAN is this a gorgeous model. I was tempted to put The Lady of Vines here instead because of her Lore, but Belthanos has by far the better model.
Honorable Mentions:
. Lord of Change(this should've been on my 40K list, but Daemons are weird children)
. Freeguild Fusiliers(I was *DEEPLY* tempted to put these in the top 5 for how much I loved them, they convinced me to start a Cities army)
. Myrmidesh Painbringers(I own 5 and have no intention of starting a Slaanesh army for a while, I love them that much),
. COOOOOOOWWWWW MOUNTAAAAAIIIINNNN
(you can just put most of the Lumineth here tbh)
. Gardus Steel Soul(for being my favorite Lore Character)
. Curseling, Eye of Tzeentch
Thanks for be info! Some great ones in your top 5 too! Lord of Change is an interesting take too!
Love this! I’ve played 40K for years, recently got into sigmar so nice to see some amazing kits!
Especially since I bought Belakor at the weekend and just finished painting him up 👌🏻
Oh wow! Hope you enjoyed painting him!
On the smaller side, I love the Chimera and all Ogroid models, and the Nighthaunt Harrows and Reikenor. Most of the Chaos range is just stupid gorgeous.
Yeah the chaos range is generally insane!
I converted my be'lakor into a frost bloodthirter and painting him is never ending but alot of fun as the kit is insane
That sounds wicked!!
@@the_kieran_show he has come out well but jesus he's taking some painting, I never realised black skin is so difficult to get right haha
So basically all the dragons you could get in stormbringer
Yup 😂
Stormbringer is THE shit. Love that most armies there fit spearhead.
AOS has such a cool setting for designing models for, the AOS designers just seem to be having so much fun. All the God models are amazing but my top 5 not taking the god characters.
1. Karazi the Scarred
2. Black coach
3. Belthanos
4. Saurus Scar-Veteran on Aggradon
5. Arkanuat Ironclad
Some really great picks! Karazai over Krondys every time.
Bastian carthalos is great! Also agree with Ionus and alarielle. Also morathi is amazing
Bastian is wicked! Wish he was a bit bigger or riding a dragon though 😂
@@the_kieran_show let’s hope some day he gets a mighty dragon mount
Nobody mentioned the Kharadron Overlords range? I love every one of their goofy blimp boats.
The two best Internetters I'm subscribed to
Aww thanks!
If Slaughterpriest with Hack Blade/Wrathhammer or Spear toting unhelmeted Deathbringer isnt here, I riot.
😬😬😬😬
@@the_kieran_show that's it. It's riotin' time
Neferata Mortarch of Blood or Vampire Lord on Zombie Dragon should have gotten at least an honorable mention as they are two of the best Soulblight Gravelords models.
Nah, they are SO old now 😂
Awesome video as always great job on poorhammer onwards to 10k subs 🎉
Thanks so much!
Only recently found your channel. You guys are massively entertaining 😂
Oh wow! Thanks so much!
Honestly dragons are my favourite too I respect the list
The best aspect!
Mine:
5) Spiterider Lancers
4) Kurnoth Hunters
3) Treelord
2) Belthanos
1) Alarielle
Nothing even comes close to my Leafy Lads.
Leafy lads are all gorgeous
Lumineth wardens might not individually be the most impressive models, but as a unit the ”wall of spears”-look is wonderful.
Great video 👍
Thanks!!!
Interneter... new Space Marine troops choice just dropped
Can have that one for free Gee Dubs
Katakros at 5 is insane
IM SPOILT FOR CHOICE WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME IM JUST A MAN
No Deepkin what heresy is this! 🌊
This ain’t no Finding Nemo
@@the_kieran_show No its even better they steal your souls too 🤣
Oof, you aren't kidding, those are some very tough picks to make... If I had to pick and put them in a particular order, it would probably be...
1: Kragnos, The End of Empires. I just simply want to get this kit, EVEN AT GW PRICING... Every time I see it in the cabinet, I immediately go "I so want to paint that"
2: Verminlord Corruptor. I like Skaven. It looks devious. it looks epic.
3: Daemons of Khorne Bloodthirster. Always did like the Bloodthirster demons, and even have stories from way back when during the Armageddon campaign for 40k (so what, 4th edition?).
4: Krondys, Son of Dracothion. Hubby could care less about Stormcast Eternals, but he likes the look of this one. I do too.
5: Avalenor, the Stoneheart King. Giant mountain cow thing that looks like it's ready to smash some heads in. Could have sworn there used to be more than just two of these, but whatever, this is the one I like out of the two in the store.
Honourable mentions go to Kroxigors (I keep wanting to steal hubby's Kroxigors to paint), Saurus Warriors, Saurus Scar-Veteran on Carnosaur, and of course, Skinks. While I love my Skaven (SCREAMING BELL, WHOOOOOO!!!) if I were to build a second army for AoS it would more than likely be the Lizardmen (I'm not a fan of the name Seraphon)
Kragnos is also a surprisingly huge model 😂
@@the_kieran_show Gorgeously large too. No idea where I'd put it on the shelf, but it's definitely on the short list of things I'd want to buy just to paint.
My top 5
1. Saurus Scar-Veteran on Aggradon
2. Belthanos, First Thorn of Kurnoth
3. Tuskboss on Maw-grunta
4. Beastlord
5. Morathi - Snake Version
Honourable mentions.
Sigvald, Prince of Slaanesh
Lord-Commander Bastian Carthalos
Drekki Flynt
Tough as a Fyreslayers player
Ooooo some great ones!
we need a top 5 dragons from AoS as a sequel now.
We basically got that didn't we 😂😂
this is great. you could do a best Unit one so they aren’t all massive dragons
But dragons are kewwwwwlllll
@the_kieran_show they are, they truly are. However the new Reclusions and Rat Ogres are also great smaller models to paint and look great. The Knight-Judicator is an amazing model, the Lord Veritant is absolutely awesome and Ironskulls Boys are canny too. Think it could be a good look at smaller, less expensive models that we could pick up and test ourselves with.
You weren't wrong about the rats, that big boi us stunning! Katakros is absolutely amazing as well. Picked him up recently, going to be a long, slow build, nevermind the actual painting!!
You guys have some great picks here. I may have to do that wyvern rider at some point. I can't see AoS Orks in yellow armor... just seems wrong to me somehow. I don't see them painting their armor. Daubing it in blood, perhaps. AoS World Eaters!!
My oh my that big rat is just wonderful. Expect a painting video from us on that model for sure!
@the_kieran_show currently building the Skaven endless spells. Adding a bucketload of bonus rattos from the Plague Monk sprees. The old monk models are pretty drab, but the extras are fantastic!
Number one for a mini that massively improves when you remove the character from it? The sphynx is a wonder, but old, metal Teclis was better than the flying horror. Why is he posing like that? Why is his face worse than Marbo? Did he steal MC Hammer's pants?
Mc hammer 😂😂😂😂😂
Amazing video
Thanks so much 🫡
Im a massive 40k fan, love the lore but AoS models blow 40k out the water. Currently working through an absolute boat load of Stormcast and this is the longest ive spent on any army before losing interest 😂 Also Katakros is an incredible model to paint.
You’ll have a whole new wave of stormcast to get soon too 🫠😂
@@the_kieran_showI havent looked forward to a reveal show as much as this one 😂
1. Eidolon of Mathlann, Aspect of the Sea
2. Darkoath Chieftain on Warsteed
3. Pontifex Zenestra, Matriarch of the Great Wheel
4. Maw-grunta with Hakkin' Krew
5. Auric Runefather on Magmadroth
Oh wow so really left field ones here!
Update: Currently trying to talk the girlfriend into letting me have a leviathan box set, with a mind to fully kit bashing the space marines to a Carcharodon convention complete with Tyberos the red wake as chapter master.
Tyranids with a hive fleet Gengar motif. Black carapace moving into a deep purple on the pronounced ridges.
Watching your videos has been fueling the creative ideas, if only someone else could lend support for my plans to help convince her....
This is a private message to your lovely lady. They're worth it, they've been really great to you and you should absolutely endorse their creative influences. (Ps if that doesn't sway your decision maybe you'll get a dinner out of it 🤷🏻♂️)
Nighthaunt sneaks into the Honorable Mentions! NIGHTHAUNT FOREVER!
Of course! The coach is wicked!
@@the_kieran_show I finally got one, and I'm in the same boat as y'all, too scared to paint it lol
Good stuff, I would suggest not having the thick white outline on the overlayed images as it’s very hard to make out the details on the models
Noted 🫡🫡
The new rat demon has to be there now 🙌
Oh instant top 5 for big K for sure.
Paint a diorama style miniature in 24 hours when?
Blimey the horror of that 😂
Lovely video guys.. Would you do this now for best unit in AoS and 40k? (min 3 minis)
Would also love to see you tackle WarCry and Necromunda
That’s a good idea!
Interneters 😂😂😂 killed me
😂😂😂
Lol cant beat a good dragon it seems. My top 5 are:
1. Alarielle the Everqueen
2. Celestial Hurricanum
3. Nagash, Supreme Lord of the Undead
4. Ushoran, Mortarch of Delusion
5. Reikenor the Grimhailer
Nothing beats a cool ass dragon!
Teclis really does take the… tea?
*nods in elvish approval
Two funny and funny looking internetters, for sure!
Funny looking definitely 😂
Can you do a top 5 without HQs?
Maybe!
There is a distressing lack of Trugg in this list.
Or the perfect amount 👀
His favorite army was Soulblight Gravelords - yet not one Soulblight Gravelord model in his top 5 ?
Yeah who knew 😂
amused that you've picked up the "youtube pleasantries" term from the poorhammer guys 😁
God don't watch our next two videos. It gets worse 😂😂
I am shocked to not see ionus crypt born on this list!
I think it’s his paint job that lets him down tbh
I definitely think Tahlia Vedra deserved an honorable mention.
She is very cool!
You need to do a squad/ unit version of this
It will be hours long 😂😂😂
@@the_kieran_show no issues from my side! :)
Top 5 for me, probably in weird order cause brain no work right: Black Coach, Belthanos, Maw-krusha (Love that angry cabbage), Idoneth Leviadon (turtle ftw), Belakor
Some really nice picks!
There was indeed a big rat, and its, like, top2 model ever
Yeah it totally is!
So now we need the Top 10 combined of both lists right 👀
Next Sunday we delve into the best mini from each faction so ✨technically✨ you get even more! 👀
I think Kieran has a thing for wings....
Yeah he totally does 😂
My favourite interneters couple 🫶
♥️♥️♥️
Duinclaw of course
Naturally 😂🥲
Also gobbapalooza!
🫡🫡🫡
More like Internutters amirite?!
Ahahaha yes correct
Dragons vs dioramas
Absolutely 😂
AoS has a truly epic range of minis. They keep upping the ante. Ushoran and the new rat prophet are god tier minis. Even my gw hating friend has bought Ushoran.
It is sad to see the state of 40k minis. They are just boring
Yeah the range really is epic. Really hoping some of it bleed through into 40K!
Idea for a video have you pick something the other hasn’t done yet from your pile of shame and paint it up
We're doing alot of collaborative challenges before the end of the year to combat this 😂
I'm just gonna say it. Archeon is over designed and visual mess. I would prefer his classic horseman model any day.
Now thats a hot take!
@@the_kieran_show I swear it's not that hot, reddit post comparing them had like 17 hundred updoots.. and I can't find it anymore. But yeh it's like comparing a Ninjago ultra dragon to classical art of the 4 horseman of the apocalypse.
There was a big rat he was right!
AS IT WAS WRITTEN
AoS has the best models in GWs IPs. 40k minis absolutely suck
Definitely pushing the boundaries every time they do a release!
No Awlrach the Drowner? Both of your lists are officially null and void.
Sorry not sorry 😂
Now the big rat has come out does that change big Kieran's list at all? Obvs lil kieran hates it cuz rats.
Big rat is love. Big rat is life.
I cannot wait to get my greedy lil hands on him!
Is that a cryptopsy shirt?
Cryptic Cabin!
So hard to read, really nails the metal vibe lol
Your video convinced me to buy a lot of minis and you guys didn’t get a penny… I feel like you gotta fix this.
We do have affiliate links in the description!
@@the_kieran_show what is the name of the model at 1:41?
As newcomers to Warhammer creative community, how are you guys dealing with the news that established channels with 250k subs are struggling? Tabletop time & Zorpazorp for example. Keep kicking ass and hopefully the algorithm won't continue to hammer creatives.
Honestly haven’t given it any thought, can’t foresee us ever getting to that size and potentially having those issues!
No Morathi?!!! Really guys....😢
Not even a dragon! 🐉
@the_kieran_show but she's amazing. Plus she's half way to the 'building your own daemon Fulgrim in plastic' conversion
More like interNUTTERS the way you all keep posting painting challenges that actively harm yourselves!
Ha! Gotteeeeeem
