GreyCrow Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Hey guys ! Just stumbled upon the Zealot Miniatures product line, and it appears they did limited editions cheap(-ish) Primarch figures (although undoubtedly called like that !) They don't have the fine details of the Forgeworld products (which are definitely amazing) but I find that they have character and bring a different enough look compared to GW's line to stand out as Primarchs. Here they are : - Khan : http://www.zealotminiatures.co.uk/shop.php#!/~/product/category=8326656&id=34168097 - Vulcan : http://www.zealotminiatures.co.uk/shop.php#!/~/product/category=8326656&id=34168100 - Perturabo : http://www.zealotminiatures.co.uk/shop.php#!/~/product/category=8326656&id=34168114 - Russ : http://www.zealotminiatures.co.uk/shop.php#!/~/product/category=8326656&id=34168115 - Ferrus : http://www.zealotminiatures.co.uk/shop.php#!/~/product/category=8326656&id=34168121 - Mortarion : http://www.zealotminiatures.co.uk/shop.php#!/~/product/category=8326656&id=34168133 - Dorn : http://www.zealotminiatures.co.uk/shop.php#!/~/product/category=8326656&id=34168136 - Lorgar : http://www.zealotminiatures.co.uk/shop.php#!/~/product/category=8326656&id=34168150 - Curze : http://www.zealotminiatures.co.uk/shop.php#!/~/product/category=8326656&id=34168092 - Corax : http://www.zealotminiatures.co.uk/shop.php#!/~/product/category=8326656&id=34168095 Enjoy !

Athrawes Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I believe those are the Knights of Legend from Kabuki miniatures. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/293262-cheap-primarchs-from-zealot-miniatures/#findComment-3735553 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grotsmasha Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 I believe those are the Knights of Legend from Kabuki miniatures. Yep, definitely Kabuki's Knights of Legend. They're pretty cool, but are 1cm (1/2 inch) shorter than FWs models.

Dusktiger Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 and unfortunately, FW seems to be aware of the weapon choices they gave their designs at Kabuki, because the FW books dont give all the primarchs weapons that match up with the kabuki models. (dorn is shown with a power fist and power sword, but comes with a nasty chainsword and a salvo bolter Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/293262-cheap-primarchs-from-zealot-miniatures/#findComment-3735643 Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Marshal Marcus Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Knights of Legend from Kabuki miniatures??? Surely people can see these are modeled on the primarchs right??? Or am I missing something? were these Kabuki blokes around before Games Workshop? and unfortunately, FW seems to be aware of the weapon choices they gave their designs at Kabuki, because the FW books dont give all the primarchs weapons that match up with the kabuki models. (dorn is shown with a power fist and power sword, but comes with a nasty chainsword and a salvo bolter What do you mean mate? with the exception of Dorn, the weapons all look pretty much the same???

Athrawes Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Yeah they are kabuki miniatures alright, Knights of Legend this link has all 16 of the "not" Primarchs that they have made. And of course they are modeled after the Primarchs from Visions of Heresy, they were produced before forgeworld started making miniatures (or Primarchs) for the heresy. But they are pretty clearly violating GW intellectual property, especially now that forgeworld is making the official Primarchs.

Dusktiger Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 that's why i said 'not all of them'. though the others arent quite accurate either. as stated before, Kabuki Dorn is shown with Power Fist and Power Sword. but comes with a special Chainsword and bolter. Kabuki Ferrus is shown with a hammer in one hand, and a gorgon head in the other. nothing on his back to represent the Medusan Carapace; his custom primarch armor with all the servo arms that give him a plasma weapon, a flamer weapon, a grav weapon, and a grenade harness. as you go through the list, you see differences that show the Kabuki Primarchs wont be WYSIWYG to the legion rules.

Inquisitor Kravin Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Word of warning, they are the wrong scale for Primarchs. I bought the Russ, Lorgar and Fulgrim models and they are not even big enough to pass as normal marines. I was fooled by the references to the 40mm base. I will try to post comparison shots over the weekend. I don't have FW primarchs but I don't need them. Put them next to regulr astartes and you'll see how small they are. Celtic Knight (Russ)'s wolves would barely provide a mouthful to a regular fenrisian wolf.

Inquisitor Kravin Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Took longer than intended. Apologies for the poor quality of the pics and excessive background - had to make do with my phone. You can still see the relative scale: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/293262-cheap-primarchs-from-zealot-miniatures/#findComment-3774868 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheesh Mode Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Word of note about Kabuki, they do not follow through when working with artists. A member of the Warhammer facebook group posted about Kabuki failing to reimburse him for his sculpt of their new (count as) sanguinus model. Apparently there are several people that have had the same problem.

The Doctor Of War Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Can't say i find any of them particularly appealing. Ultimately the appeal of the miniature plays more of a role in my purchases than the price. Word of note about Kabuki, they do not follow through when working with artists. A member of the Warhammer facebook group posted about Kabuki failing to reimburse him for his sculpt of their new (count as) sanguinus model. Apparently there are several people that have had the same problem. And the above, along with the IP infringement, doesn't exactly make me keen either.

Olis Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Kabuki has been around for a while and started producing not-primarchs years before FW did, as Athrawes has stated earlier. That was basically their only appeal - they were commercially available primarch representations when no official models existed.
