EPK Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Now that is beautiful. I love the stormbolter (or "twin linked bolter" in preheresy terms) inside the fist, a nice little detail. This would also look great marching beside my Deathwing terminators - it's like a giant terminator in form.

Candleshoes Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Absolutely stunning. I think this would be perfect too for Chaos Legions like Alpha Legion/Night Lords/Iron Warriors/Word Bearers who would still likely be using the early patterns. Definitely putting in a pre order.

Brother Degas Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 the questions isnt whether or not to buy it, but what colour to paint it... edit: dimness Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/233292-contemptor-dreadnought-by-fw/#findComment-2808151 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alys Dwr Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Looks fantastic. "until it's featured in a forthcoming book"... maybe i read too much into things but it's got me wondering who/when...

Isiah Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Check out the experimental rules for that bad boy -- it gets inv saves too !! Good find Captain Semper.

Droma Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 It's a lot taller than a standard dread. Would make getting it into cover more difficult. But damn does it look cool. I'll probably pick one up and use it as a venerable dread. Edit: Just checked out the experimental rules. I'm not sure it's worth the price but BS5, S7, AV13 front and AV11 rear with invuln saves is pretty sweet. I'd only try using those rules in an apoc game though when I don't care so much about points. I'd wait till more arms come out for it before dropping the money on it.

Darkest Angel Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 I'm getting one mabey two, problem is should i paint it pre-heresy black, or deathwing white?

Brother Landrain Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 I sure would like to know the forbidden options... I bet those may be Chaos only? I have an old school dread, looks similar but way smaller.

Interrogator Stobz Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 First place I saw that thing was the cover of Fulgrim, the second was Fallen Angels.

Captain Semper Posted July 2, 2011 Author Share Posted July 2, 2011 Actually the 2004 Horus Heresy books "Visions of War", "Visions of Darkness", "Visions of Treachery" and "Visions of Death" are full of these images. For all legions (loyalyst or not). The same artwork that also went into the old Sabertooth card game... I think you can still find it as "Collected Visions" here: http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/...odId=prod842467 If you can spare the money I think it's worth it...

GAZ_AV_NZ Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Yes it nice - ill likely score one and paint it in pre heresy DA colours. One thing i noticed is its very streamlined like Grey knights - rmeinds me of a grey night / grey knight dread.

Xyon Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 I really do love this model, I just wish they had more arms for it presently! As to the paint scheme, I don't think it really matters, whatever people think looks cool. Though I think it would be considered more of a chapter relic/resource than a deathwing specific resource.

VAGABOND Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Possibly the worst Forgeworld model I've ever seen, it looks like a wheelie bin.

Brother Immolator Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Neither i like it that much.It looks like a giant terminator suit rather than a walking coffin that dreads are supposed to be. Too humane look for me...It is what a dreadknight outta to look like though.If i had GKs i would convert one of those with dreadknight weapons.

EPK Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 It looks like a giant terminator suit That's actually why I like it and if you think about it, exactly what they are going for. "Terminator armor" is just slang for TDA after all- Tactical Dreadnought Armor that is.

Interrogator Stobz Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Well, I tried to like it, I looked and looked and looked hoping I would like it, I looked at other sources, I really did. Nope, the thing still looks stupid. ;) Good feet and legs and on top is a fat wheelie bin that VAGABOND described. It is no where near enough 'grimdark' for my collection of models. There is a reason why GW designed the newer walking brick type, it looks cooler, waaaayyy cooler. On the bright side I will save lots of dosh. stobz Disclaimer: My opinion only, to those who like it I support your opinion but don't share it.

Droma Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Have to disagree with you Stobz about the cooler part. This FW dread looks much cooler and I think most people in all the threads I've seen would agree.

Interrogator Stobz Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Have to disagree with you Stobz about the cooler part. This FW dread looks much cooler and I think most people in all the threads I've seen would agree. Fair enough, I personally was stoked when GW first made the metal versions of the current mkV sarcophagus(sp?) version of the standard Dread (which I prefer to the plastic ones), I was blown away when FW started producing venerable mkIV versions too, I have a couple of those resin beauties. I didn't buy any of the old style ones (I forget the names) as they were IMHO (nostalgia aside, I do love seeing retro armies that are done well) very silly and quite orky looking. I would hazard to say that most people back then also thought that the introduction to the mkVI and Vs was a great step forward by the design teams at GW and FW. It is good that things change but I for one will keep away from the newest/oldest look. I do think they finally got the rules right for a dread though, I wish they applied to standard Dreads, Armour 13/12/11 is appropriate for an adamantium etc. vehicle. IMHO. BTW I really don't like the ape arms on the ironclad too. Saves me even more dosh :huh: Cool as Droma mate, lucky this isn't a popularity contest ^_^ stobz Edit:clarity/I hope.

Droma Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Nothing against the old MkV's VI Stobz they are great looking models. I think part of the reason a lot of people like this heresy dread is because it resembles so many other mecha that it feels familiar while still keeping the space marine theme. I do like the new rules though, although I think it's slightly overcosted because you still have to buy upgrades for the dang thing.

Yup, total agreement there, damned expensive wheeliebin ;) and the only available arms are one of the upgrades :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/233292-contemptor-dreadnought-by-fw/#findComment-2809769 Share on other sites More sharing options...
