Kabuki Sound The Imperial March For Their Next Army
March 8, 2016 by dracs
Kabuki Models are once again turning their attention to the creation of a full modular army. This time, they are bringing us the forces of a dark, intergalactic empire.
The overall armour design is fairly plain at this stage in the model's creation, being in style that of a generic sci-fi super soldier. However, the helmet is particularly striking and somewhat familiar. Who's been giving the Storm Troopers steroids?
As with their Legio Praetoriana, these models will be 33mm scale and will be released as modular units and sets to create the basis for a full army. Personally, I am most keen on seeing what sort of characters Kabuki come out with for the force.
What do you hope to see in this new army?

Vader as always – or a not-Vader I guess
space troopers ? what’s not to like.
That looks very much like the bastard child of a storm trooper and a space marine,
Who gets to sue them first, Disney or GW? 😉
Lawsuit waiting to happen
Maybe this is a bit of legal genius. If GW sue them, and win, then Disney can sue GW on the grounds that if this looks like a marine then GW must have copied Star Wars. If Disney sue and win, then GW can sue Disney for having soldiers that look like marines. It’s a Mexican stand off and Kabuki models get to walk straight through the middle of it…
they could claim them as fair use parodies.
If they could offer a range of weapons in two scales (40k and something just a bit bigger than you get on the IA minis) I would be very very happy. Sure, many of the blasters were modelled on WW2 era weapons and those are easy enough to find in a Bolt Action kit, but there are just enough unique elements to a DC15 or an E11 that you would need to convert them.
Stormtrooper on steroids.
Well Rick Priestley one said that he got the idea for space marines from watching star wars (and by that I mean the stromtroopers) but than a little bigger.
