You can hardly say the metal Eldar Knights are not works of art... no really, you can't, can you.... 
-btw... Does your aversion to Knights come as a result of your more 'realistic' take on Epic L4, or do you just dislike the models/the concept?

Good question Storm, I'd say both. Unrealistic ... the whole concept as well as the models didn't work for me. But if you guys like'm - use'm !

Favourite:
Infantry trooper - IG Codex Grey Infantry
Light Vehicle - Ork Wartrakk (Epic40k version) though the metal Space Marine bike from SM1 was a close second, it's probably as I have used the Wartrakk more in games
Standard Tank - Leman Russ (Epic40K version), this was a difficult choice as I also really like the Epic40K Space Marine Vindicator and the Ork Bowelburna, Lungbursta were also in the running.
Super Heavy - Capitol Imperialis is I guess my fave, but I also like the E40K Imperial SHTs and Ork Battlefortresses
Flier - Currently the E40K Ork Fighter Bomber, but I have some Forgeworld flyers in the post and I have yet to see the Landa in the flesh so this will probably change...
Titan (type and class) - Ork Great Gargant version 1 (all metal version from Space Marine)
Least favourite:
Infantry trooper - standard Ork Boyz, it's just okay when it could have been so much improved for both E40K and EA, I am also not as fan of the Shooty Boyz.
Light Vehicle - Ork Plastic Buggy - ugh when I first saw it I didn't realise it was a buggy, and was very disappointed with it!
Standard Tank - SM2 Vindicator, it's just awful, no debate, just awful!
Super Heavy - Leviathan - was always way out of scale and never seemed to fit in with other models
Flier - Space Marine Thunderhawk (all versions but the first version was particularly awful)
Titan (type and class) - Mega-Gargant, though the Imperator Titan was a close second

Light Vehicle: E:A Land Speeder.
Standard Tank: E:A Predator or SM1 era Leman Russ.

Titan (type and class): "Beetleback" Warlord.
Other (in case I missed anything)
Tunneller: Hellbore

Yep, thats the one. And, I have obviously been trying to blot those horrible second edition tanks from my memory, as I completely forgot about them. The Vindicator jumps to the top of my 'most hated' list, closely followed by the Predator and Flying Brick Thunderhawk._________________ https://www.cybershadow.ninja - A brief look into my twisted world, including wargames and beyond. https://www.net-armageddon.org - The official NetEA (Epic Armageddon) site and resource.

Oh, I forgot about them when I wrote the worst trooper. I would have selected the scouts, but I forgot because I do not own any. I got rid of them all.

We were using the SM SGT for Scouts, but now we use the new Scouts. I like them ... even if they are a little big !
