Of course everyone has their favourites – the ensuing arguments raged for several weeks leading to food-fights in the canteen and several serious incidents behind the bike-sheds – and in the end 70 models were selected from all those nominated. A few popular nominees dropped-out because the moulds for them had suffered deplorably from old age and long usage – and we really wanted to cast some of our all-time faves if at all possible. Once we had our list of  models we organised a poll to decide which single model qualified as our all-time favourite - with the following results.

THE LIST

So – by a whisker our GW HQ 25 year favourite is Archaon Lord of the End Times – and that despite the Northern European Sales Team's frankly shoddy attempts to boost the Chaos Dwarf Lord's score by sneaky multiple voting on behalf of the 'Big Hat' faction. Be'lakor also emerged as a top contender with the Green Knight, Wood Elf Lord and Lichemaster also well supported. Some of our older models didn't do as well as expected – whilst some modern miniatures did better – which we put down to the fact that many of our staff are younger than some models on the list!

Now we're going to open up our poll for you to cast your vote – just pick your favourite from the Warhammer top 25, as voted by Games Workshop staff. Remember, we're not looking for the best sculpted model or the most powerful gaming piece – just your favourite – whether it was your first model, a character fondly remembered, or perhaps a model once owned and sorely missed.

We'll keep the polls open until 27th April, before announcing your all-time favourite Warhammer model!
