Behold Kabuki’s Scarab Knight in His Fully Painted Glory
June 12, 2014 by dracs
Kabuki Models' Scarab Knight has recently been released on both their webstore and on their eBay. Now we get to see how this great sculpt looks with a couple of layers of paint.
Kabuki have always done a fantastic job in showing off their models with an excellent paint job. For someone named the Scarab Knight, I had expected more of what you might think of as desert colours, rich browns and golds. The purple looks great and the shading is excellent it's jut not what I expected for this mini.
This paint scheme picks out all of the superb detail of the miniature and makes it far more interesting than just the regular, unpainted sculpt. Definitely a good model for showing off your painting talents.
Are you going to pick up the Scarab Knight? How would you have chosen to paint this mini?
He would make an brilliant high elf commander/wizard.
That’s a pretty cool idea. 🙂 Bonus points for suggesting proxying for something OTHER than 40k :-).
The paint scheme is… LOUD… all over the place. Quite good technically, but no harmony at all !
I’m not impressed, his pose is a bit odd, his legs are spread under weird angle.
I think it is a pretty cool sculpt. The pose does seem a little weird but it may be because his armor is so busy. Which is the one part that I’m not a huge fan of….so much going on with the model’s armor that it becomes hard to focus on one thing.
That would make an excellent Necron Lord.
Just checked out Kabuki Models range to see if they do anything in the shape of a leader for CSM Night Lords. Considering doing a force of them. The ‘Haunter’ model is kneeling tho! ARRRGH! Hate that.
The colors are a bit to much emperors children. I would have painted Magnus dark red as most of the pictures show him and an aged gold color on the metall parts. But i like the model.
But i am still drooling over Fulgrim that Kabuki has released. Me prsonaly think that Fulgrim that Kabuki made is better then Forgeworlds. Something royal and dominant in the pose Kabuki have made Fulgrim that i like.
