I noticed that Warhammer is celebrating it's 25th anniversary with a showcase of the (highly debatable) 25 best miniatures ever made for it.
Last year was Blood Bowl's 20th anniversary, and got nothing. Plans were in the works for a new boxed set, but nothing happened, and just this month, the range got seriously pared down - they even cut some of the newest models such as the Dark Elf Assassins, Ramtut III and Zara from the range. They even have a completely new Dwarf team sculpted, and we may never see them cast!
So it's up to us - what were the best 20 Blood Bowl miniatures (or teams of miniatures) ever?
I suggest everyone post up to three suggestions (with a link to an image of the miniature if they can find one), and we'll compile a master list. Yes, maybe even a poll, if someone wants to run one.
If there are particularly famous converted or special edition models you wish to mention, post it as an additional Honourable Mention below your main three.
Note: The most complete archive of Blood Bowl miniatures is found at http://www.blood-bowl-miniatures.de/ |

Well, as you know I love doing polls, so I could do that 
Best models, id have to say;
Hthark The Unstoppable, very nice design, a good showpiece model,
The plastic orc lineman with the boxset as it was incredibly easy to paint and make look pretty good after only about 5 minutes effort
My favourite team of models is Necro, lots of different race types means you can have a great variation is styles whilst still part of a team theme, never that impressed with the wolf models though, they never got it right really.
Special mention for Scrappa sorehead, such a silly idea and model
Pics when i can be bothered |

Painted by myself (hence not great) but its my favourite BB fig of all time and the one that got me started on skaven.
Im a big fan of Zara the Slayer model (this one is not painted by me), shame i cant get my hands on one.
Cant find a decent pic, but thirdly id like to vote for the new human thrower (one with the ball in 2 hands. The pose is fantasic.
Cheers

Zara is one of my favourites and I also like the pro elf blitzers with their ice hockey goalie face masks. |

Dunno if this counts but there was a lizardman team at the waterbowl, owned and created by Nippy Longscar (NAF name).... he'd taken the plastic lizardmen, got rid of the weapons, reposed them into some really awsome poses (to beat most regular BB models).... then modeled American Football style armour on all of them. Simply amazing. If anyone can find a picture then I would like to nominate one skink, one saurus, and the kroxigor  |
