DreadLift Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 http://i844.photobucket.com/albums/ab3/joenortonjones/contemptor11.jpg I think we can all agree this is a nice model :). Being Blood angels players too the possibilities of conversions are very broad considering the different types of dreads we have available in our codex, It does also come with its own rules but to me the model looks a bit pricey points wise. However it would make a kick ass DC Dread or Furioso, Maybe even a libby. What do you guys think ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomus Sardauk Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 The Contemptor's gorgeous looks and sheer presence alone will ensure that I buy it, it'll look beautiful alongside my squad of Mk.2 & Mk.3 armoured Sternguard. Pre-Heresy gear FTW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volcatus Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Love the Storm Bolter placement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonaides Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 FW had this on the drawing board, and GW churn out the Dreadknight/termie in diapers... go figure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomus Sardauk Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 FW had this on the drawing board, and GW churn out the Dreadknight/termie in diapers... go figure! Exactly, FW didn't want other marine players feeling silly when comparing the ornate, striding Dreadknight with their own stumpy box-like Dreads. While the Contemptor may not have the mass firepower or psychic prowess of their daemon-slaying cousins, I personally think it looks far better than it's skeletal counterpart.

DreadLift Posted July 2, 2011 Author Share Posted July 2, 2011 Anyone else reminded of the ABC warriors from 2000AD. I like the way the CC arm is able to be built on the left or right side. The storm bolter in the palm is very cool too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 6 and also have a DreadKnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kayesh Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 its more like the old epic ones from the stompers box set though - first 2 on the 2nd line http://www.warseer.com/forums/attachment.p...mp;d=1269139757 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enzephalon Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Why is everyone so excited about this thing? ^^ To be honest I think he is pretty ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leksington Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Why is everyone so excited about this thing? ^^ To be honest I think he is pretty ugly. Because they don't think he is pretty ugly? I think it looks awesome. Plus it has a nice retro feel, while still looking like it fits in with 'modern' 40k tech. The only thing that bothers me is that it seems like you have to buy the arms seperately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apocalyp$e Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Nice, looks identical to the one depicted in the Collected Visions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Losfer Werds Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 That just looks fantastic. I'd love to paint up a DC variant of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morticon Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 I think theyre amazing. Looks like chaos is getting them too in their new codex! Take a look at the last sentence on the bottom right text box of the rules as to who can use em!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AustonT Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 I think it's interesting that the more we progress in 40k the more we see GW and FW "introducing" models from RT and 1ed. This looks like the original dreaddie stretched, and much like the thunderfire cannon, and the new master of the ravenwing bike harkins back to earlier models. He's cool solely because you can build a modern detailed preheresy army. RHINO RUSH! it's what all the cool kids are doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMac Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Looks like an oil canister to me... too round, like a penguin. However, I'm with Volcatus. The stormbolter placement is awesome. I envision this thing picking up and ork by it's head with his legs kicking, while the dreadnought unleashes bolter fury into his green bald head. HAHA! Awesome...

Xenocidal Maniac Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Why is everyone so excited about this thing? ^^ To be honest I think he is pretty ugly. Nah, man, I agree. I dunno, I just can't get into this thing. I wouldn't call it "ugly"... it's just too retro or something. Looks out of place. I don't hate it. Just not crazy about it.

The problem for me is, that the torso is just too small to represent what a dreadnought should be. A sarcophagus for an honorable veteran. Considering the thickness of the armour plates I can't see how the corpse would fit in there. Further it just looks more like a pure robot.

Schultzhoffen Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Nice paintjob but I don't like it either. As has been said, looks like a toy robot (yes, I realise the irony of that statement). However, each to his own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you compare the normal style dread here http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Images/Product...ontemptor16.jpg You can see there's actually more space than the normal style dread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Yellow Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 I do actually like this model the only problem is that it doesn't fit with my army fluff wise. I would have to collect a first or second founding chapter for me to have one, failing that it would have to be an exceptional cicumstance but still difficult to make it sound good.

I was assuming they are equal in size. Nevertheless it looks to much like a regular robot for me. But I like him better then the Dreadknight.... F***in' ugly bastard. ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
