It’s a Good Knight for Scibor
April 14, 2013 by dracs
Well Scibor have just released their new miniature range of the human Town Guard, but something is still missing from this ramshackle militia. A valiant knight to lead them!
This guy, Knight Jurand, looks every inch the liege lord of town guard, in that he looks better fed and has the only armour that looks like it could stop an arrow.
The sculpt is pretty nice, though to my mind the legs look somewhat disproportionate to the rest of the miniature. The torso looks huge in comparison to the height of his legs.
Will Scibor's knight in shining armour be joining your fantasy adventures?

Regarding the legs, I think you’re right, it looks like Scibor have a bit of a hangover from all the dwarves…
That explains why I think it looks fat. In truth he is just short. He could pass as a tall Dwarf then, just like the ones in the Hobbit.
Only problem, Scibors minis are more 30mm scale, much bigger than generally all 28mm fantasy figures. Hopefully they have corrected this but meh I doubt it. Will stick out like a sore thumb if you have him as a unit leader.
The scale is reflective of the GW scale and proportions… for good reason.
I find this figure a bit unoriginal myself, but a good knight is always a good knight ! I like the “non standrad” body type. We don’t see enough of that.
I don’t understand what you mean there :s – the scale is different to Warammer scale, at least my Scibs are bigger anyway, though they retain GW’s heroic proportions. But they are the same as 40K scale in terms of size….
What do you mean, forgive my confusion. I could not use these models with my non-GW medieval miniatures, for example, or other 28mm fantasy miniatures either.
I think you all have a bit of Jaraundiced view of this knight.
He’s doing his party trick of hitting himself on the head with the flat of his sword, pretending to knock himself into the ground.
That has to my worst pun yet and that says a lot!
Besides of legs thats rather good sculpt.
