Jochaim Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 If you go to this page ---> http://s15.invisionfree.com/The_Great_Crusade/ar/t250.htm they have a picture of a rogue trader era dread and the contemptor is shown on the side. If you scroll a bit farther down you may notice that the FW dread resembles a castellan assault robot....ah the days when you had to "program" your robots in game. On a side note that thing looks WAY better and appears to be of scale you could use it as a dread knight Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/233299-contemptor-pattern-dred/#findComment-2808155 Share on other sites More sharing options...
red_starrise Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 I'm not too big on fluff, either, but I wonder if its the new canon look of this old guy http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2010/12/5/161107_md-Chaos%20Space%20Marines,%20Cybot,%20Dreadnought,%20Furibundus,%20Rogue%20Trader,%20Scratch%20Build.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/233299-contemptor-pattern-dred/#findComment-2808159 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberaggie Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Actually it's closer to the Horus Heresy artwork (see below). I love it personally. Much better than the damn blocky dreads we have currently. http://www.underthecouch.net/albums/album103/600px_Pre_Heresy_Dreadnought.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/233299-contemptor-pattern-dred/#findComment-2808172 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurgan the Lurker Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 I'm not too big on fluff, either, but I wonder if its the new canon look of this old guyhttp://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2010/12/5/161107_md-Chaos%20Space%20Marines,%20Cybot,%20Dreadnought,%20Furibundus,%20Rogue%20Trader,%20Scratch%20Build.jpg Yes this was the old Contemptor dread from RT. Actually it's closer to the Horus Heresy artwork (see below). I love it personally. Much better than the damn blocky dreads we have currently. http://www.underthecouch.net/albums/album103/600px_Pre_Heresy_Dreadnought.jpg This is the updated visual of that dread.

nurglez Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 forgeworld dread's and titans are all sold without the arms, bit annoying, but they are lovely models, very nice detail and if they are miscast they often replace them (so I've been told, haven't had any miscast's on anything I've ordered).

winterdyne Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 It's also more or less the design used for the first plastic dreadnoughts for the Epic systems. I have a few kicking around somewhere. I like it. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/233299-contemptor-pattern-dred/#findComment-2810600 Share on other sites More sharing options...
