thade Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 I figure some of you own at least one or the other of these models. I'd like a favor as I consider buying one or both for my GK. ;) So...please do me (and all of us GK players) a favor and whip out that tape measure! How tall, roughly, is the Contemptor Dread? How tall, roughly, is the Dreadknight? Basically if the DK is taller (which I suspect it is) but not significantly, I can jack the Contemptor up on a taller base...or (worst case) do some extension-conversion on the legs. I'm hoping it's close though; or - better yet - dead even. Thanks in advance. :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/234617-contemptor-dread-counts-as-dreadknighttall-enough/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 I can tell you the Contemptor is (roughly) 80mm tall (not including the base), give or take a couple of mil (well, mine is). Can't say for the dreadknight, though, sorry.

Coopervisor Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Can't say first hand, but there are comparison photos of them both next to dreadnoughts to give you a rough idea: http://media.photobucket.com/image/dreadno...Dreadknight.jpg http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Warhammer-4000...OUGHT_BODY.html From those, it looks like a good couple of inches taller than a contemptor.

Olis Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Hmm, the dk looks a good inch, maybe inch and a half, taller than a Contemptor, I'd say. That's a fair bit, at this scale...

thade Posted July 21, 2011 Author Share Posted July 21, 2011 Yea, those pictures are very telling; it's funny that I've seen both of those photos and it hadn't occurred to me to use the Dread as a point of reference. :) You're right, Olisredan; no amount of base-jacking will do. Well...some extreme base-jacking maybe. But...yea. Not really close enough.

Elric the Silvercoat Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 well you can do some work on the legs and body to make it taller.....

thade Posted July 21, 2011 Author Share Posted July 21, 2011 Add a banner, sorted! haha, Technically the banner doesn't count for LOS...but I bet your opponent would more than happily allow it. (Anybody I'd play against would.) I'd be more inclined to jack up the base/legs...but honestly a banner could look awesome. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/234617-contemptor-dread-counts-as-dreadknighttall-enough/#findComment-2825479 Share on other sites More sharing options...
