Kabuki Release their very own Dark Knight
February 20, 2012 by brennon
We get to see a lot of Science Fiction Knights from companies, but what about this new one from Kabuki Models? Below is the first of their resin models, the Dark Knight.
The model is a limited edition of 500 pieces and stands at 40mm scale. I am a bit of a mixed bag about this miniature however. I don't like the wings or back of the model at all, even though the front armour is pretty well done. Also something of note is that they have changed the claws already as noted on their website.
What do you make of the Dark Knight?
So this must be the Night Haunter…I went to Lexicanum to look at Konrad’s background (not read any BL stuff about him) and given his vigilante past, ‘Dark Knight’ seems to work well as a name for this sculpt.
“It’s not who I am underneath…but who I kill that defines me.”
I like the wings myself, they’re suitably bat-like. The backpack though seems like a Scibor job – trying to be ‘gothic’ but not quite making sense with those pipes just sticking out from an overly plain main body.
“Death is nothing compared to vindication” – Konrad Curze the Night Haunter, Primarch of the 8th Legio Astartes.
More to the point I think the wings and the backpack in general is a bit meh. And I think the hair would look better longer, similar to this image http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs16/f/2007/219/f/e/Night_Haunter_sketch_by_Jutami.jpg
The detail on the legs is nice IMO.
