The Lion Knight Enters Scibor Space
June 6, 2012 by dracs
Scibor released a new addition to their selection of Sci-Fi, not-a-space-marine-at-all, Lion Knights.
Pretty much its the exact same as the previous ones but with an admittedly cool new weapon option.
I know I give Scibor a bit of wrap from time to time, but I have to say I do actually like these Lion Knights and think that they would make excellent leaders for your Dark Angels forces, or maybe even represent the Primarch himself in the days before the Heresy.

Do any of you like Scibor's Sci-Fi Knights? Do you include them in your own armies?

I do like the lion’s head on the shield and halberd but I think that theme has been repeated too often elsewhere on the model to carry much weight. I think this offering… Read more »
Those are some seriously huge shoulder pads. Thos model is extremely detailed and both halberd and shield are also very well detailed.
The model is of outstanding detail quality wise, that is plain to see, however, for me, it’s just a bit too chunky, a bit too unwieldy looking to the point where it looks faintly comical. Not a fan to be honest.
Just as shite as 99% of the rest of his stuff.
