Considering the quality of some of their previous (not)Primarchs, Kabuki's attempt at (not)Horus is pretty lame, and IMO it's all down to the head. It's just bloody awful. I really like the claw, even if it's a tad too similar to the one the Emperor is depicted as having in that fantastic illustration of them facing off.

to be fair i cant even see why they bothered, and then after they decided to bother they produced this???

before Forgeworld decided to start producing the primarks i could kinda see the point of producing these minis to "fill the gap" so to speak, but now FW are doing the range (and lets face it doing a spanking job) and rules and totally 100% official, i honestly cant see the point producing this, the head is all kinds a wrong but to honest the rest of it isnt too hot either , the armour is well sculpted but the pose and scale of everything is pretty piss poor, i have to say i do really like the cloak.

anyway i dont see them making many sales with this mini.

Pretty much what @Oldman78 said; looks as though they phones this one in. Odd, considering that, out of all of the 'knights', this is the one they could least afford phoning in.

Legs too long, head too small, arms seem to be attached to mid-ribcage instead of shoulders, and he's posed like he's falling sideways down some stairs while gesturing with his talon hand.

As for that hand: It worked for the Emperor in many art pieces due to his eagle motif, but bird-of-prey talons and wolf heads just don't fit together aesthetically.

Good paint job, but like many manufactures, they seem to be relying on some form of super-highlighted NMM to cover the bad sculpt (or casting) they are selling. It's not working.
