Guess, we need a single thread for all Scibor releases.

Today, 3 shield packs and one shoulder pad pack were released, all resin:

Elven Shields (10 for 7$):

Chaos Shields (6 for 7$):

http://sciborminiatures.com/en_,shop.php?art=953

Roman Shields (3! for 7$):

http://sciborminiatures.com/en_,shop.php?art=955

Spartan Shoulder Pads (8 for 7$):

http://sciborminiatures.com/en_,shop.php?art=956

I will try to add all upcoming Scibor releases to this thread, modifying the title headline accordingly.

They’re ok. I hoped he might have released some torsos for his custodies heads. Never mind.

Damn that guys is talented.

Those Spartan Shoulder Pads with some Spartan helmets would make for an awesome DIY Marine Chapter.

How many people are interested in Scibor in the states? I'm planning on carrying their line and have them on hand for faster shipping times.

I'd be one of the interested parties here in the US.

I'd love to see some of his bits on actual minis, especially the helms and shoulderpads.

Those elven shields look terrific. Trying to think how'd they look on a high elf army.

I've ordered from Scibor and love the stuff but would also be interested if you carried it state side.

Count me in as interested in dealing with a State-side distributor of Scibor's stuff...

Valete,

"ok"?!?! Those Spartan shoulderpads are _wonderful_. Along with the Chapterhouse 1K sons stuff, they're the best-detailed pads out there. Really nice composition and really nice execution. Bravo.

But their scale is off for 40k so they look too big on PA models. Terminators are better though.

I would love a stateside distributor of the Scibor stuff..

I am, but just not for anything in particular if it makes sense! Love their work just waiting for something that applies to my particular minis a bit more, but I would buy from them confidently. Same goes for Maxmini, Kromlech and the other Polish sculpt kings lol. I have ordered from a few of the others from time to time btw if it is relavant -

Personally I think Scibor should put out a sculpting DVD or download, he uses a few tricks better than anyone else!

Not to rain on anyones parade, but the majority of Scibors current are for the most part Computer Aided Designs. I'm not putting the bits down or anything, but to call them sculpted would be a mistake.

That's fairly well known, as well as many of the other 'tricks of the trade' that he uses - still, nice stuff and if we can get a US distributor too...?

Win!

Add my name to the list of support.

I've ordered directly from Scibor in the past and the only complaint I had was the shipping time. The product is stellar as well as his part of the packing and shipping process ... once it leaves his hands is when my patience is taxed.

So? I never understood why people were hung up on that one. Who freakin' cares. If the models are good, then does it really matter if someone pushed around kneadatite with a tool or pushed electrons with a mouse?

Cool your jets son.

I think he was pointing out that asking Scibor for a sculpting DVD for the the work in this thread would be futile.

I also vote for a US distributor. I don't have any immediate plans for any of their stuff, but they show great promise. And as someone who hates computers with an insane passion, I admire anyone who could get results for a 3D design program.

It's rather significant if someone's asking him to put out a "How to sculpt like Scibor" video. Much of the CAD/CAM software I've used is expensive, finicky or both, which means a tutorial might not be useful to anyone unwilling to invest time and money into learning that specific program.

nvillacci wrote:Not to rain on anyones parade, but the majority of Scibors current are for the most part Computer Aided Designs. I'm not putting the bits down or anything, but to call them sculpted would be a mistake.

I wasn't aware of that. TBH, I don't care how they make it as long as the final product looks good, which these do.
On another note, why didn't you use your regular account to post that comment?

Lol I don't care if he has a trained squirrel do it with a toothpick in it's butt, I'm interested in how he achieves his results, computer, squirrel, clayshaper, witchcraft... whatever!

Besides, it wouldn't be futile for me. I professionally use Maya and Mudbox, I recreationally paint and sculpt, any which way, I could keep up.

BTW, unless you've ever tried using a computer to sculpt something, don't bash it, it's not any easier to do than real sculpting lol. There is no 'Space Marinesz' button in Mubdox lol. Open your mind to the tools around you, and evaluate how best to apply them. Don't get pissed if someone finds a new way to achieve something, it's not a CHEAT, it's just new! And usually exceptionally more effective or productive lol.

I'm interested in a US Scibor distributor as well.

Anyways, their shields here look great as does most of their stuff. It's an interesting choice though as there are so many places to buy shields from. I always thought their whole models where what stood out.

Well, we obviously know that he only uses CAD for the armour plates and shields.

The controversy surrounding Scibor is that he was mass producing CAD armour and stuff, slinging them onto terminator plastics and selling the resulting models for almost a hundred quid a piece, even though the price of the materials and effort involved would not even price the models at half the asking cost. People that are ignorant to how CAD works/how the plates were really made still pay up, with Scibor walking away having made gargantuan profits.

Because of this, a lot of people are very paranoid about him ripping them off. And to be honest, I don't blame them. It would be like GW adding a fancy armour sprue to the Space Marine Tactical set, and then quadrupling the price.

Oh the NERVE of someone...selling things for more than they cost them...BASTARDS!!!

Really, really?

It would be like GW adding a fancy armour sprue to the Space Marine Tactical set, and then quadrupling the price.

Like this?

terribletrygon wrote:Well, we obviously know that he only uses CAD for the armour plates and shields.

Do we? Why then are the skulls of the Chaos shields all slightly different? Must be difficult to program each shield to look handcrafted
Scibor uses the greenstuff mould technique on several sculpts, but where does that "obvious" proof about him using CAD come from, when evidence points the other way?

Your link doesnt work... you could have just said FW

I ordered a couple things from him and plan to get more.
I just realized last week that he put out these...

http://sciborminiatures.com/pow.php?absol=1&co=i/2010/big/templar_1p_01.jpg

http://sciborminiatures.com/pow.php?absol=1&co=i/conversion_parts/big/big_templar_shields_01.jpg

(I like the Templar shields more than the above posted, but they're all pretty great)

Trygon, he is a buisness.
Not only that, but he runs a fething brilliant one at that as he makes what people want made, rather than throwing out a random kit and promoting it to death.

So he charges a bit more than most for alot of computer work, whats the issue here?
If you know how to use CAD then fine, make your own by all means.
But for those of us who cant use it, he is the best way to go.

The price may not be much for time and materials, but how long would it take your average person to make something like that?




Love most of his stuff and the quality is great.
Cant pick faults with any of his work.
Except of course when the odd person comes onto dakka trying to pass off a scibor sculpt as thier own work

How he does it - doesnt' matter.

The fact is - you could only get those models from him whether mass produced or not =/

heh.

In they end while the 'parts' were mass produced if true - the poses and extra details were never the same to thus then create 'unique' generals for an army.

QFT, it is funny how some people refuse to actually read what others post. You would think I had said there was no such thing as Santa Clause or insulted their moms..

My point was this and ONLY this: someone was wishing that Scibor would put a DVD out showing how to sculpt (and referring to the new stuff that was put out recently), that would be pretty hard to do since alot of that work was done in CAD..

Jeesh people.

Just an FYI, it's not super classy to constantly pop in to threads about other niche bitz/model manufacturers and make snide remarks about them.
You might consider the "let my product speak for itself" route instead of whatever it is you think you're doing at the moment.

Please show me a snide remark. All I was doing was letting that person know that Scibor has been using more CAD lately (especially on these items) then he used to. Many are total green sculpts, but these are not (there is some sculpted additions, like the skulls, but a good portion are CAD print ups)

If you want to get personal and shut down this thread, well, you are doing a great job on it.

To all those who think Scibor is a 'cheap' sculptor taking the easy way out -

Let me get this straight -

Scibor is a dirty cheat because he sells expensive minis people like enough to buy, and he does it by slapping his stuff on to an existing model, and he does so in a reproducable fashion...

What are you annoyed at, the fact he figured out an easy way to produce high quality pieces there is a demand for??? I'll tell you what, where I come from it's called good business lol.


Saying it's 'easy' to produce is something only an ignorant person would say. It may be 'easy' for him, but it's easy because:

A: He's talented.
B: He has a reasonably unique style
C: He has practiced his craft and innovated
D: He had the gumption to put the first 3 together and make business out of it.
E: He had the stones to try anything from B on, most people don't.

It's called expertise, you are born with a little bit, you earn everything else with time, blood and sweat. You pay a lot for expertise, it's the reason someone gets payed a lot more than some kid who just started. Because they know what Ithey're doing, they have the experience to avoid mistakes, to deliver what they promise, to handle a client, to strategize long term, to pull off just about anything a client would ask for with style, competence and quality in as easy a way as possible. Expertise is insurance against disappointment, to most people, it's worth quite a bit.

You try doing what he did, you learn CAD, you learn sculpting and press molding, not just to do it, but to do it well! Then you design a style that has good appeal aesthetics, and apply it to a popular market with holes in it's offerings. THEN you put together a business, website with e-commerce, shipping process and all the other work it takes to get said mini into my hands. THEN convince tons of other people to buy said plastic terminator with some easy armor slapped on for 100+ bucks.

Then tell me it's easy. I dare you.

Tom I hope that wasnt directed at me, I dont believe I said anything bad about Scibor... There are many who do think what you wrote, but I have never said or thought any of that.

No not neccesarily, just a general statement on the skill involved to achieve his results, to anyone who insinuates that it is a cop out or easy method anyone with a computer could do lol.

Let's face it, if it were so easy, we wouldnt need Scibor, we could just fire up the old PC and click a few buttons!

I own a digital media business, statements like that drive me up the wall with how baseless and petty they are, most people don't even have the barest clue as to what is involve yet some feel entitled to put a value on it based on nothing but their own jaded outlook.

Are you all certain Scibor uses CAD? I've always thought he hand-sculpts negative molds to "stamp" patterns onto Green Stuff.

This is especially noticeable on his CMON galleries:
http://coolminiornot.com/144969
http://coolminiornot.com/157451

I saw a guide on doing this a while back, and considering Scibor uses greens, I doubt CAD is involved.

I have personally not, I always thought he was pressmolded a lot (although you can't deny since he created the mold, that's still pretty cool). He also regular sculpts a great deal too. The CAD thing is news to me, but is also neither here nor there as to the end result, so more power to him!

From what I have heard and seen (I have seen some proof he does CAD), he does employ it.

Regardless my company does as well. Some things tend to be better off in CAD.

I personally am not very keen on pressmolding though.

Either way, the end result is fairly nice.

Oldgrue wrote:Either way, the end result is fairly nice.

Indeed, if it works then..well....

..if we can, you know, simmer down a little, please give other posters the benefit of the doubt with regards to intention please. ta.

I own a number of Scibor pieces (the Menials and Servants in the robes and whanot). They're all perfectly good models, very functional, great sculpts, and work well in a lot of situations (40K RPG players take note!).

I don't care how he makes them - they look great.

Technology will always be progressing , even for miniatures and gaming.

Why call scribor foul?

You can easily call GW foul for having factory produced miniatures instead of sculpting them INDIVIDUALLY , if you must.

May I remind you that this is a news & rumour thread? I don't want to get another of my news&rumour threads shot down by off topic flaming. Please post your own thread in general discussion, if you want to continue discussing this. Thank you.

The shoulderpads fit perfectly on terminators, in my experience. I don't have a pic, but i've fitted them nicely on some termi arms. They normally require a bit of fiddling, but nothing out of the question.

If I could put a request to Scibor, it would be making some "smaller" shoulder pads too, to put on some of the regular-sized space knights.

Lion ones.

Indeed... poor Kroot it always happens... I regret my defense of the guy caused further debate on things not about the model, though I do not regret the act of defending him in and of itself if you take my meaning.

Unfortunately, basically any thread involving a new realease from any company will eventually result in a debate about the company, not the release these days :S

That being said -

For me the shoulder pads are becoming too elaborate to happily sit on a contrastingly plain terminator. I really think he would benefit from complementing certain releases with greaves and other touches to be spread out across a given model.

I have to agree with you there tom on the last part.

A full set of armour plates or the likes would go down well.
A simple kit including a set of greaves, shoulder pads and a chest plate would be great, otherwise you end up with a plain model with stunning shoulders

^That is a really good point. I was thinking the other day that my assault termies are going to have AWESOME shoulders, and fairly plain everything-elses.

Hmm, what to do? I'm thinking of buying some Moscals from him to man my Hellcannon too. Man I love that Scibor! I bought a dwarf for my next DnD campaign too.

Stop the hatin' - if he's digitally sculpting (which I see no evidence of anyway), that's at least as hard as traditional sculpting. Check out Mudbox or Zbrush for examples of this. T'ain't easy, let me tell you.

Tek: There is a press mould tutorial on his site.
So it wouldnt be too hard to make your own greaves and chest plates, or any other armour for that matter.

About the most work from it would be carving off all emblems from the chest, knees etc so that the GS would fit flush on it.

I have not had much success trying the technique out, GS is always too sticky, I don't know how to manipulate it onto the model, how long it should wait to dry if at all or anything else. His tutorials are cool, but not detailed enough for me to clearly understand all the steps missed between pics.

That being said, I would really like to see someone elses successful, CLEAN pressmolded stuff! I have not really ever seen someone manage the amount of detail and sizes he works at while still being super sharp and clean, they always get mashed up to one degree or other.'

OT - If you can do that, you can do the shoulders too, in which case you probably wouldnt be interested in buying any of it, which leaves the rest of us who are still interested in purchasing Scibor style armor add-ons other than shoulders

Today, Scibor released a set of 5 "Celtic Armours" (torso and legs) for 25$:


http://sciborminiatures.com/en_,shop.php?art=960

Each armour is also available separately for 6$ each ( http://sciborminiatures.com/en_,shop.php?group=72 ), 3 complete Celtic Warriors for 15$ each ( http://sciborminiatures.com/en_,shop.php?group=70 ).

Nice!

Quick - someone in the US get this guy's stuff in stock!

Looking at the size and shape of those i'd assume they would be true-scale power armour.
I may have to make a unit of wolf guard now.

This guy is great, but my wallet fething hates him

Order time-wise, not too sure how quick it will be, but i might have to grab those 5, some celtic shields and a few other bits

Alpharius wrote:Nice!

Warpath Games is a US Distributor that deals in Scibor's stuff. I've asked my FLGS to order me stuff from them before.

Now he only needs to make more to fit everyone's terminators needs.

Some "Egiptian-themed" Terminator-sized bodies would be a big seller for me...

Valete,

JohnS

Would still prefer armor add-ons for generic space men (ahem GW termies) lol

Hmm... I see great Wolfguard coming from those models! Glad I have a full painting table and an empty wallet ATM.

My only Scibor related beef is how every single painted model just absofreakinlutely has to have gold NMM armor on it. Really, branch ou a little!

lol if I could paint gold NMM that well I'd have a hard time stopping too

Even if people are a bit distracted:

Today Scibor released a set of 5 Chaos snails for 22$, also available separately for 5$ each:
http://sciborminiatures.com/en_,shop.php?group=87



They are part of the Moscal dwarfs, but look like a good stand-in for plague bearers if you don't like them (or even fit the new Warhammer Forge campaign book theme).

Chaos snails? Kind of interesting, if a bit disturbing.

Bah, wait until he has sculpted his Moscal Snail cavalry
(no joke!)

Well, pretty much all of the stuff that is painted on the website looks fantastic, so this dosent really strike me as a failing.

Chaos Snails? o.O INTERESTING.

I think the snails are the first thing he's produced that I am not a fan of. Great stuff all around but hey not everytime is going to be a home run.

Kroothawk wrote:

Better yet, Beasts of Nurgle that don't look laughable.

More great work from Scibor. You know, many of his minis are simple enough in pose and detail to work as plastics. Too bad the overhead for that production method is so high.

Just a small Halloween release: Dwarf with pumpkin for 9$.

http://sciborminiatures.com/en_,shop.php?art=973

That actually looks pretty cool. I may finally make my first scribor purchase because of that.

Another Halloween special for 15 $ http://sciborminiatures.com/en_,shop.php?art=974 :

I'd really like for him to put his skills toward some kickass weapons. I think Scibor, along with many of the vendors, are missing out on sales opportunities by not selling themed weapons (swords, axes, etc.) to go along with their wonderful shoulder pads.

has anyone used or seen pics of the spartan bits on a space marine? Just wondering if the sizing looks acceptable

interesting items.

Another batch of new releases:

A Dwarven Miner (resin, 9$, http://sciborminiatures.com/en_,shop.php?art=984 ):


Another Dwarven Bear Rider (with50mm scenic base, 45$, http://sciborminiatures.com/en_,shop.php?art=977 ):


The Celtic Warriors in a 5-man-squad (resin, scenic bases, at least 5 different bodies, 37$, http://sciborminiatures.com/en_,shop.php?art=983 ):


Goblin Warband (resin, 5 Goblins, 25$, http://sciborminiatures.com/en_,shop.php?art=982 ):


Chaos Mutant #1 (26mm to eye level, 37mm total height, 9$, http://sciborminiatures.com/en_,shop.php?art=978 ):


Chaos Mutant #2 (29mm to eye level, 9$, http://sciborminiatures.com/en_,shop.php?art=979 )


Scenic 50mm base (the one from the Taurus, 12$, http://sciborminiatures.com/en_,shop.php?art=975 ):

GW really should give Dwarfs some Bear Cavalry next time around!

... or rams


... or Highland cattle:


or ... no that's all

Those are rediculous.

After a few reviews of Scribors stuff, I'll be staying away for now. The shoulder pads only seem to fit Termies.

I don't think those last few are Scribor's.

Honestly, I just want to see someone using his stuff on a GW model, either the shields or the shoulderpads... anything! I'd rather have a concept of what it's going to look like before I put money for something; even if it's too big if it's uniform it can still work.

Those look absolutely brilliant (Scibor's stuff, that is)! It has been cool to see his sculpts improve over the years.

One thing I like about Scibor's products is that they are very clean; straight lines and crisp details all round especially compared to some other companies, most notably Chapterhouse. I recently made a $90 purchase of bases and bits (and recieved the pumpkin slayer as a promotional gift) and was very impressed with the quality. I wish the Dwarf Wars models werent included in this thread, since they look ridiculous and are not representative of Scibor's work.

If you havent checked the website, please do so. Scibor has some good stuff.

Well, I thought the West Wind logo made it clear that the Dwarf Wars boxes were made by West Wind, not Scibor. Especially as the style and quality is quite different.

West Wind Dwarf Wars: http://www.westwindproductions.co.uk/catalog/index.php?infoBox=3&cPath=1 .

And you won't find GW conversions on his website, because when he made them years ago, GW legal department stopped him. You have to wait for others to post conversions with Scibor parts.

Here another batch of new releases:

Two more Dwarf Miners (9$ each) and all three together in a set (22$, http://sciborminiatures.com/en_,shop.php?art=985 ):


Large Wing Shields (6 for 7$, http://sciborminiatures.com/en_,shop.php?art=987 ):


Small Wing Shields (12 for 7$, http://sciborminiatures.com/en_,shop.php?art=986 ):


SF Accessories set 1 (12 parts, 7$, http://sciborminiatures.com/en_,shop.php?art=988 ):


SF Accessories set 2 (8 parts, 7$, http://sciborminiatures.com/en_,shop.php?art=989 ):


Spartan Accessories set 1 (12 parts, 7$, http://sciborminiatures.com/en_,shop.php?art=990 ):

Chaos Ground Square Bases 40mm set (2 bases, 9$, http://sciborminiatures.com/en_,shop.php?art=995 ):

The dwarf miners are very cool looking! I'm sure the great paint job is part of it, butt hey're very nice looking.

For fans of Scibor's humorous holiday miniatures, here is the Santa Hunter/Slayer released today (12$, http://sciborminiatures.com/en_,shop.php?art=996 ):

Love those miners.
A great paint job does enhance them but have a feeling the sculpts are pretty darn good

Not liking the Santa Slaya!
That was gonna be my teddy!

Holy crap no nmm Gold on it at all!

To be honest, it is not painted up to the usual Scibor standards though, looks very... average.

Don't you see the rune on his right wrist(our left)?
nmm gold baby!

Edit: Pics added.

Being from the UK, I'm wondering what the shipping would be like from Scibor.

I am quite liking the look of that Santa mini

Isn't that one shipping from the North Pole?

Love em. Gonna get some ASAP. However, a question...what parts (arms, heads, etc) fit these...power armor or termie?

All Scibor shoulders are termie sized.
And the FAQ states 8$ shipping cost to Europe and USA flat.

BTW another 2 new releases (again can't post pics currently):

SF Shoulder Pads: http://sciborminiatures.com/en_,shop.php?art=998


Egiptian Shoulder Pads:

Edit: Added pics.

For those of you looking for a retailer in the USA, FRPGames.com carries scibor stuff. They are in California. Ive used them before and they are a good company. However, they dont offer a discount on scibor stuff, so the only advantage they offer is being in the USA. Also...they are running a bit behind as the newest releases (celtic armors set for example) are still listed as preorders.

Scibor made a few new releases:

Egyptian resin bases in 25mm and 40mm:

http://sciborminiatures.com/en_,shop.php?art=1021 (5 for 6$)


http://sciborminiatures.com/en_,shop.php?art=1020 (2 for 9$)


http://sciborminiatures.com/en_,shop.php?art=1019 (2 for 9$)


Angel Shoulder Pads http://sciborminiatures.com/en_,shop.php?art=1018 (8 for 7$)


Scibor also released a load of "funny" Xmas miniatures that I will ignore here.

Those Egyptian bases are perfect for the S Wolves force I'm trying desperately not to buy... damn Prospero Burns

I bought a set of the Celtic Armors a few weeks ago. They are some of the best resin work Ive ever seen. Extremely clean and crisp details...almost perfect casting with nearly no bubbles or flaws.


However...once assembled with Wolf Guard termie parts they just didnt look right. The proportions were...off. I guess its a result of trying to be just different enough from GW to not be sued. I decided to ebay them and do a different project.

Two new releases:

SF Roman Centurion Body (resin, one piece, 9$):
http://sciborminiatures.com/en_,shop.php?art=1022


SF Roman Legionary Body (resin, one piece, 9$):
http://sciborminiatures.com/en_,shop.php?art=1023


Heads also available separately (for some time IIRC) http://sciborminiatures.com/en_,shop.php?art=931

Notice the "true scale"

I know what people could use this for, but I won't tell in the current McCarthy witch hunt climate for small resin bit producers.

Look very nice..... I always like his detail.

I hope so, as I'll need a few more "Legionary" poses before I take the plunge!

That’s what i was thinking. P &p charges are a bit high for ordering just two. Real same that chapter house probably won't get to make those spears now.

That's interesting. I bought one of his Christmas Baubles (the one with the Dwarf hanging out the front), and while the sculpt is great, the casting is decidedly less than impressive. A couple of massive lines on the sides of the bauble where the mould appears to not fit together properly, and air bubbles all over the place.

Yeah but thats like most resin kits i've got. My reaver from forge world has taken a week to fill and sand.

The BEST resin casting I've ever seen has been from MaxMini - I've had LOTS of stuff from them need almost NO filing, sanding, removal of mold lines, etc.

Some seriously impressive stuff there.

But anyway, does anyone know if Scibor is planning some more poses in the "Legionary" body type?

Yes I agree the best resin kits are from MaxMini and also quantum gothic. Hope they make a few more poses and maybe some custodian spears to go along with them.

You know, the first one would make a great preperesy commander too. All the lightning bolts and whatnot.

Of course, that would be on one's own initiative, as MaxMini has nothing to do with Games Workshop whatsoever.

Nope. Nothing at all.

These are Sci-Fi Warriors. Nothing at all to do with Marines.

Agreed on both counts. Scibor stuff has been hit/miss with me....MaxMini however...I would LOVE to see their casting/molding technique. Their stuff has delicate parts..and their casts are CRISP. Their casting/molding team really know what they're doing.

Scibor, not MaxMini, but.. yes, you're right!

I wonder if there will be any 'Egyptian Sci Fi' bodies? One hopes....

Well the SF Roman Legionarys Bodys Set is now up for sale.

Link please!

OK, I'll do it:

http://sciborminiatures.com/en_,shop.php?art=1029#i/conversion_parts/big/sf_roman_legionary_set_01.jpg

Hmm - any recommendations on arms/shoulder pads (?) and weapons to fit them, Aplharius??

Dysartes wrote:Hmm - any recommendations on arms/shoulder pads (?) and weapons to fit them, Aplharius??

Shoulder pads are available on his site. The new GK are scheduled to be plastic...I'm sure;

His bodies
His shoulder pads
+ Grey Knight Arms

....would be pretty sweet.

Dysartes wrote:Hmm - any recommendations on arms/shoulder pads (?) and weapons to fit them, Aplharius??

They have SF Shoulder Pads that seem to with them. but no arms or weapons as yet.

Just re-discovered your site, along with the dwarves-riding-bears... soooo awesome, if I could afford $45 a pop (which is reasonable based on their size). But man, they look good!!

Awesome stuff!

Just wait a bit, he almost always does complete models in the end, like the celtics:



BTW here the pic that Alpharius linked to, all bodies also available now separately for 9.10$ each:



And I guess these shoulder pads are intended for the bodies:
http://sciborminiatures.com/en_,shop.php?art=998
but Spartan shoulder pads wouldn't look wrong either (don't know which size fits best though).

Many sons will like the bases

for anyone in the chicagoland area, Games Plus is now carrying Scibor products and will order anything you want

Wow, the assembled Egyptian obelisk on base is quite phallic.

Most obelisks are...

Been waiting for Scibor to release something like this. The other stone head basing materials he has in his store have been lacking the flat accompanying pieces.

Those are very nice.

I just don't like the press-mold look. It looks...cheap. And the heads are nice, but they use the same head with additional bits added or subtracted on every freaking thing they do. It makes no sense, really. All these ruined stone heads are lying about, but where are the ruined stone bodies?

in the British Museum

anyone ordered from Scibor before? Been thinking about changing up my necrons since I only have a few models done and going with all ruins bases

Yeah, lots of people. Takes some time due to Polish mail, but otherwise no problem at all. There are some US stockists as well, e.g. Warpath http://www.warpathgames.com/wholesale/warpath.php?m=list&mfg=SMM .

Alpharius wrote:Most obelisks are...

I was about to agree, but then I looked again, and there are 2 spherical details positioned at the base that look an awful lot like bollocks from that angle lol.

From across the room my room my room mate saw this and was like "I thought you werent looking on those adult sites anymore!"

Thanks Scribor.

What the hell kind've adult sites were you looking at?


"Old and rocky! Hot sandstone on sandstone action!"

^awesome!

Make it dry...

anyway, I like the 'basing material' kits I may have to bite the bullet and finally buy some Scibor.

Which reminds me, there are not enough slit-like terrain bases...

OOO do behave!

FWIW not sure it is an obelisk. It looks more like a stele.

malfred wrote:Which reminds me, there are not enough slit-like terrain bases...

Well, there is always Navarro's Alien Drop pod

There are loads of bases with slits in them.
They're called Slotta bases.

Chibi Bodge-Battle wrote:There are loads of bases with slits in them.

Is this your way of saying theyre the right scale for the tabs most gamers have?

Fantastic OT discussion here...

Now, let's all stop, and you know, talk about Scibor's latest releases?

Thanks!

all their stuff is amazing, but so expensive (even more than FW!)

is there anyone that have used the reliefs on vehicles or nother non-terrain stuff? I'd love some pictures.

I'm very seriously considering doing my GK's as these guys, unless the GW GK models blow me out of the watter.

Alpharius wrote:Fantastic OT discussion here...

I was wondering if that pillar thingy was compatible with slotta bases! Or if I'd have to cut the tabs off the guys so theyd fit on the base properly.

@ Grundz those would make for some pretty nice looking GK's, Im not sure how they scale, but might even work as terminators with the right arms.

Does anyone have some pics of those with marine or termie arms on them for a better sense of scale?

Mistress of minis wrote:Does anyone have some pics of those with marine or termie arms on them for a better sense of scale?

ive seen a few GIS results for them, and they seem to be just slightly larger.

3 new Scibor releases:

SciFi Inquisitor 22.30$
http://sciborminiatures.com/en_,shop.php?art=952


Elven ruins set 1 (2 square resin bases, 40mm) 9.10$
http://sciborminiatures.com/en_,shop.php?art=1035


Elven ruins set 2 (2 square resin bases, 40mm) 9.10$
http://sciborminiatures.com/en_,shop.php?art=1034


Scibor really like bases with faces

I wonder if hes sculpting the faces just to make the haters shut up about how everything he does is computer assisted lol

But that inquisitor looks like hes got a mortar strapped to his back O.o

He doesn't keep sculpting faces! He just uses the same fething faces with a few added on bits in different molds.

I really dislike all his stuff. I want to like it... I want to like it so badly it hurts (especially the celtic knights) but I can't.

Scibor's techniques for producing crisp geometric lines are fine, but they are not only overused, but their contrast with his rather blobby manual sculpting make the overall model look bad often.

I think the "SF Roman Legion" figures are ace though, and I'm this close to pulling the trigger on a squad of 10 to use as "counts as" something in the upcoming C: GK!

Quick question if anyone knows. Would the Moskal Admiral on Panzer Duck 28MA0030 fit into the turret hatch of a certain tank named after a certain founder of a certain order of space knights disposed to canine behavior (any similarity or cross-compatibility with any GW IP being, of course, purely accidental! )?

If so, I think my Abhuman Armor brigade may have found a Knight-Commander Pask...

E: They have war bears too?!? Why am I just finding out about this...

Overall, I really like the detail of Scibors stuff. ALOT. but on his whole figs, there is always something wonky about the proportions, I find the heads too big or the bodies too big and stocky. It would be great for him to make a piece focused purely on a... feline like I guess is the word I am looking for... elegance.

Can anyone who has scibor 'not-marines' tell me if they are 'true scale'?

Mistress of minis wrote:I wonder if hes sculpting the faces just to make the haters shut up about how everything he does is computer assisted lol

It's a portable font.
But baptism by fire! *gulps*

The same face being used for different bases is so far removed from GW using a uniquely sculpted skull, each one as individual as the poor soul that once claimed the boncebone as theirs!

they don't do this guys helmet seperatly, do they?
or am I blind...

http://sciborminiatures.com/en_,shop.php?art=761#i/28mm_2008/big/servanthelmet01.jpg

Given his love for that statue, he should do up some larger, less destroyed pieces for terrain.

Kroothawk wrote:3 new Scibor releases:

That's good 'cause I really like the bases with faces!

Anyway, I don't give rat's behind that he uses a computer to make his stuff. They generally look good, are generally reasonably priced, and let you add something unique to your army. That's all I'm looking for. Sure, there is a certain 'something' that is lost when you don't hand sculpt, but for the purpose his stuff serves...that lost 'something' is immaterial.

Also in a set for 60$

I'd love to know how big they were. I like that bottom one.

I don't know if it is how they are painted, but the first two look un-inspired. There is no emotion on their faces and they aren't looking in the right direction for their actions.

I like them, there isn't too much detail on them, but they still look good

How easy is it to cover the turbine with a GW backpack, will one fit?

I think these are more Terminator sized. Or truescale SM if you want.

0.o

I want the last for a BT marshal.

sweet, gw will have to really empress me now!!!

They are definitely True scale, as for the shoulder pads and even the helmets they are more on a terminator scale.

I don't like his powerfists. The arms on them are just too stubby and short

H.B.M.C. wrote:I'd love to know how big they were. I like that bottom one.

According to the website two of them are on 25s, and one's on a 40. I think the one on the 40 is the last one.

I guess the only difference between these and marines are the backpack.

Indeed. I'm not sure if anyone on here has actually bought some of them, so it's almost getting to the point that I'd like to just to be able to post up some comparison pics.

I am really not fond of the sculpts. The paint jobs make them seem better than they actually are.

I rather like the bland emotionless look over there. It's a nice contrast with, you know, everyone always screaming. I wouldn't build these, but I do like them a lot.

And I second the call for large face statuettes ruins for use as terrain, would make an incredible themed game board.

So, we've got heads and feet. I like them, but I think more of the statue than just the heads and feet would be laying around.

Torsos and limbs are not going to fit too well on a 25mm base.

You will just have to make do will sore toes

This dwarf is anatomically wrong on so many levels.

^ this. it looks like the black knight from monty python, had he not lost his arms.

Some new dwarfs and goblins:

http://sciborminiatures.com/en_,shop.php?art=1052

The goblins look unhappy - especially the guy on the right - and that first dwarf with the horns; what's he doing? Is he using the hammer to scratch his back?

He's taking his hammer out of a backpack scabbard you fool!

but you knew that

Why is it Chaos sorry Evil Dwarves always take the trouble to put their beards in curlers.

I think it is the humidity that naturally curls their beards. If they were not bold they would sport Afros.

Ah! That also explains the tall hats.
The Chaos Dwarves with hair have Nubians on their heads!

Chibi Bodge-Battle wrote:Why is it Chaos sorry Evil Dwarves always take the trouble to put their beards in curlers.

The bighat Chaos Dwarfs are inspired by Ancient Mesopotamian cultures (Assur, Babylon, Hethitian) featuring big hats, curly beards, ziggurats and bull centaurs. Quite cool concept if you ask me:

Agreed!

I still fervently wish that SOMEONE would bring them back in that style...

So Assyrians had Nubians on their heads too


I find it hard to equate with the northern mythology I have been brought up with and is too deeply ingrained now.
Also aesthetically I find it an awkward style on the small, bulky frame of a dwarf.

For the record am not suggesting there is anything inherently wrong or that your tastes are inferior (though of course they pale into insignificance in the light of my impeccible appreciation of the arts )

Personally I think the big hat thing is more to do with LoS issues
Which you will doubtless correct me and say it wasn't an issue back whichever edition the CD's did their evil doings.

Actually Assyrians had long curled hair, not Afros, as this selection of Assyrian King heads (and bighats) shows:

I really like the Celtic marines (I have the first three for my Space Puppies army) but the gun on the new one really puts me off this one. I know I can cut it off and replace it but for a Scibor piece of sculpting it is just so bland...

Mick

Cool looking stuff...their figure sculpts are amazing!

The Axe and gun really throw that last sculpt off alot. They totally look like an afterthought. :-(

Oh my...

How big are these guys? Cause if they're big enough, I'd be keen on using them as terminators with my truescalies. The only problem is that if they're too small, they'd come off as way too weedy. Does anyone have a size comparison?

He looks really cool, but I can't help thinking if he raised his arms his nut would get cracked by the shoulderguards!

Does this must mean the Marines never surrender?

I am interested in seeing a size comparison. I really dig his models.

The Custodes (Roman sci fi dudes har har) are just slightly taller than a regular Chaos Term. They are bulkier though.



I don't see the Big E too much in this model-----other than the terrific face.

Cool, little by little Scribor is tempting me to make an order! If they ever did a Bionic Knight or something I'd totally be there!

Incredible! That newest guy is making into my collection for sure!

If it helps, the highest part of that base (the face bit on the right) is just over 1.5 inches high.

Exqueezeme?

Are those stone rosettes?

Just when you thought there were not enough skullz in the grimgame...

Wheels of misfortune that click every time a skull passes underneath a bar.

Like #4 the best with the wreath.
And armoured bears with dwarves of course.

Dwarf on warbear has a massive amount of sexiness.

Needs more skulls?

hmmm that war bear, the second one looks a bit for me like a hamster/ guinea pig...

Hmmmm, now thats an idea for halfling cav...

Mick

yup, that could work...trooptransport even...space for at least four of them^^

Plus more could be carried in the hamster's cheek pouches.

Put Hammy and halflings in one of those ball things for protection. Bowl into the orcses's lines then break out of the ball to finish the carnage.

Hamster Ball Hobbit Shock Tactics FTW!

i think i have seen that tactic done in starwars the new movies...with those ugly drones...those caterpillar thingies...

besides the last one is looking a bit as if he is just takeing a leak...or is that just me?

Nope, that is just you taking a leak Vik!

i like the chaos shields

Nope, that is just you taking a leak Vik!

so is that then just Vikileak then?

well i've found my Grand Master for my coming Grey Knights Army. SF Knight #4 FTW. Also, the rosettes will look great on a rhino or chimera, along with the already existing rhino *cough* vehicle decorations.

Death / grim reaper styled Grey Knights.... I like that Idea.

I think Scibor is my new favorite miniature company. That dwarf on warbear made my jaw drop. And the sci-fi knights are works of art. Scibor stands head and shoulders above everyone else right now.

WOW... I think I just found Arjac/Lone Wolf

Good call. He is a bit good ain't he!

I want him to have that pose but with both hands holding the sword.

Space Knight W.G. Grace
iirc Grace had a bat even bigger than that sword!

... and add to that a Thunderbear cavalry and noone will be laughing

To anyone that has had something from them before; What scale are we looking at here please?
Not sure if im going to have to have termie or normal arms with them.



x1

x1

x2

x2

Should be enough to get the startof 4 custodes together
Then ill just add in this to finish them:




Nowhere near cost effective for a single unit of 5 models, but looks too bloody good to pass up.
Ill have to order them tomorrow.

Consider most of these as truescale Marines with a standard Space Marine being shoulder height of them. The shoulder pads are terminator sized. They fit a 40mm base.

Cheers kroot
I guess im buying a unit of assault termies then

Scrounge thier hammer and shield arms, then use them as claw termies.


What ill run them as im not sure, but gives me a good chance to paint something where i can have fun with NMM and OSL.

Haha quote of the day

(an old English cricketer if anyone doesn't know, and actually I believe the photo they used for 'God' in Monty Python, the head in the clouds).

"Rosette of death #1-4"

So, what would a good Warhammer 40k use for these be?

Target practice.

Oh you mean model wise not what would they do with them in the Grimdark? Sorry.

Personally if I had a ton of cash I would use them as architectural decoration, but proabably they are meant to adorn the Space Knight's generic AFV's and in no way would they be put on a Land Raider tm or somesuch

Seriously, one day when I have the spare time and cash, Im gonna bulk order from Scibor...

All the 'knights' and accessories are so sweet!

THANK YOU!

That is the scale comparison picture we've all been waiting for!

Also - that now means a squad of those particular models have found their way on to my wish list...

No problem Broski, Mine are turning into grey knight paladins once I get some boxes of terminators to loot their arms from

also that picture was taken from neal from the warstore when I asked him the same question, so thank him!

There are some new bases I that noticed on Scibor's site earlier today, the "Elven Temple Ruins" line.

Cant get a good pictures of it, but one of my paladins is dragging a chaos marine by his neck like a little kid, it works perfectly! XD

Ya know, given the completely non-GW nature of these puppies, I wish there were a set of arms that we could just buy without having to repurpose termi bitz.

But that's a minor gripe- these guys are great!

Well, there's various bitz traders you could visit. I won't share URLs because I want Terminator arms too!

TRUE SCALE BRO! True scale space marines finally!

Just ashame GW has laid down the law at the battle bunkers about any & all NON-gw minis not allowed in store anymore....

More new stuff:

Dwarf New Adventurers (set for 27$, each for 9.10$):
http://www.sciborminiatures.com/en_,shop.php?art=1088


Dwarf General with Standard On War Bear (55.80$):
http://www.sciborminiatures.com/en_,shop.php?art=1093


The first Rat Warrior (9.10$):
http://www.sciborminiatures.com/en_,shop.php?art=1095

Oh man.. I need that general on the hamster bear, just epic.

I'm not real familiar with Fantasy, can the dwarfs have bear mounts?

Agreed, it's an absolutely beautiful model.

You can't have that mount in WFB sadly, but you could 'counts as' a dwarf lord with shield bearer retinue I suppose - have the mount count as the dwarves holding their lord in the air. The only restriction would be that you would need to keep it as part of the unit I suppose, to take account of the low movement value.

Kroot, if I may make a suggestion, can you change the thread name to reflect when new minis are added? It's hard to tell when to look at times.

OT, wow, great minis... I am not the hugest fan of their SF stuff, but I love the Fantasy models and bases... beautiful.

Scibor released a new Chaos Giant Snail (35$, 165mm long, fits chariot base), maybe a sign of the snail cavalry to finally come:

http://sciborminiatures.com/en_,shop.php?art=1096

Slimy

Looks very cool.

+1 on the cool factor.

Daemonic mount for Nugle maybe

I like the new dwarves - particularly the bear-mounted lord, but the skaven is just 'meh'.

It would seem that shirts are swiftly lost on the road to Dwarven adventure.

Nice releases- don't have plans to purchase, but I always like to see what Scibor is putting out.

yeah,
not buying it!
They have done a minimal job on making a blob snail under a sea shell they found on the beach!! Only the head armour looks good, the sea shell looks so worn and rounded...
Surely they could have made a effort and made the shell spikey and you know chaosy!

This is not up to Scribors normally higher standards.

Panic...

I'm still waiting for a mechanical/horse hybrid! The only mount capable of carrying their enourmous warriors into battle! But seriously. Someone needs to do up a Mechano-Horse mount. Not everyone want TWC to be on Wolves

Props on the gorgeous dwarf models though. Also I'd like to add my thanks for the scale photo

Chaos snail!? By Jove, that's brilliant!

Much better than the current small ones:

New releases by Scibor:

Celtic SF Veterans Squad (5 for 50.75$, singles 12.20$ each)
http://sciborminiatures.com/en_,shop.php?art=1110


plus several new shields:

Those look fantastic! Look very much like pre-heresy, maybe TS MK3 SW?

Very nice! And at 12.20 each, they are priced to move!*

*Your divorce proceedings along

I'm a big fan of the Templar Shields. Although, you have to be careful when removing them from their sprue or you can break them.

I'm very happy with how these turned out.

winnertakesall wrote:Those look fantastic! Look very much like pre-heresy, maybe TS MK3 SW?

Agreed!

I just wish he'd do some 'plainer' looking sets, without fur, tails, over-the-top embellishments, etc.!

Interesting stuff. I think Scibor is getting better as time goes on.

Those sure are some fine cast not Wolf Guard. The price seems reasonable for the gold impregnated resin they are using.

It's a fine cast without bubbles

Those guns look really 2D...

gah, someday i'm going to break down and buy some bear cavalry

does anyone have any photos of the shoulder pads being mounted on a GW fig? I've read a few times that they are too big for tacticals but I'm curious to see them on termies and tacts anyway.

Dude,

What the heck is with the Dwarven War Bears? Of the 67 items in their 28mm Fantasy Line, 10 are War Bears. Is there really that much of a demand for these things? Does the sculptor have a Bear in Armor fetish?

I have their Templar Big Shields and Shoulder pads, and I'm very impressed and happy with the detail and quality.

@king88mob:

Their shoulder pads are teminator sized. I think they would look silly on a PA dude. (I know this isn't the best angle to tell that, though)

Thunderbear cavalry!

He has been busy: Two more releases:

Rotten Lord on Mutant Snail (50.80$, 38.45 €):
http://sciborminiatures.com/en_,shop.php?art=1117


Templar SF Knight #5 (25.40$, 19.25€):
http://sciborminiatures.com/en_,shop.php?art=1118

Love the Templar...

EXCEPT...

for the right arm powerfist - looks very out of proportion.

Ruins an otherwise lovely model.

Padre^.

Might be. There's even a gratuitous butt shot!



They do look nice though (not necessarily in that particular image, you bear pervs!). I wonder if their bigger minis are solid resin or hollow to save material/weight/cost.

Judging from the taurus, they are solid. Reminds me to compare the reissue of GW's Taurus with Scibor's model

Snail looks interesting, but it must move really slowly on the battlefield!

In the dark past....there are only Gerbils and Snails

Some pretty good looking stuff

If there was only some doable and 1/2 way believable way to 'counts as' Bear Cavalry into a Dwarf WHFB army...

I just can't think of any!

Well, the lord can be 'Counts as Shield Bearers'. The others would have to be a friends agreement though.

Problem is the shield bearer is some weird 40x20 base. Bear of Doom instead of Anvil? Gyro-bear? Just throw bears in for anything that can be mounted on a larger base

May be a signifcant crash in the euro soon, thanks Greece, Scibor just got more affordable.
