turelhim vampire Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Hi all, Yesterday my order from Forgeworld came through and I found myself with a brand new Contemptor pattern dreadnought. I have only managed to get it assembled for the moment, however I plan on attacking it with green stuff. I have to say this is by far the best casting I've had from forgeworld, with little to no flash or air bubbles. Has anyone else noticed how much better the quality of forgeworld models are getting lately? Anyways, on to the pictures: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrannicide Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 I just basically posted the same thing about an hour ago... but I must scrounge my way into getting one. It looks so damn posable. And perfect. Anyways excellent job, can't wait to see it painted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Dakath Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Looking pretty good, such a beautiful model. Is he reaching down to squish somebody while on the run or just running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daismith906 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Beautiful mini looking to get one myself. Few questions for you if you dont mind. Did you pin the model at all? And would the arms be suitable for magnets? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turelhim vampire Posted July 29, 2011 Author Share Posted July 29, 2011 Brother Dakath - he's reaching down to crush something as he charges toward the enemy. daismith906 - no pinning required, the only thing I could think that might need it is the foot to the base, as the bottom of the feet have a tread so aren't completely suitable for gluing to a base. Easily fixed by shaving the tread patter from the part of the foot that would touch the base. The arms would take magnets nicely at the bicep joint with very little work required.

Captain Semper Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Very dynamic pose... What do you plan to add with Green Stuff? Anyway I look fwd to see it painted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turelhim vampire Posted July 29, 2011 Author Share Posted July 29, 2011 I plan to add armour trim, flames, salamander icons, etc. I find the contemptor way too plain as it comes, so it needs more details imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plasman Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Brother Dakath - he's reaching down to crush something as he charges toward the enemy. Or picking up flowers or mushrooms (Ork spores ? :) ) maybe ? Just kidding ;) , great dynamic pose as usual. Congrats :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats :) If by flowers you mean the skulls of his enemies then yes! :D Then I hope he's not picking my flower! Lame puns aside, it's a great model, a very likeable pose, and I'm waiting to see your GS-work, sir ;). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats :tu: If by flowers you mean the skulls of his enemies then yes! :lol: I was meaning daisies, as a gift to Mrs contemptrix. Wouldn't it be cute ? :lol: More seriously I fully agree with you on the fact that the Contemptor is too plain, as a matter of fact it looks a bit like some kind of japanese anime robot. it definitely needs some more details to make it "W40K-esque".

VAGABOND Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 I'm guessing you need to flip the arms round to make the 2nd arm? I couldn't find the second arm on the Forgeworld site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turelhim vampire Posted July 29, 2011 Author Share Posted July 29, 2011 Yes, all arms are ambidextrous, even the lascannon arms. Smart move from FW imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turelhim vampire Posted July 29, 2011 Author Share Posted July 29, 2011 Hahaha, yeah, Bowling for Orks! :) Made a very brief start on the green stuff, just playing around really, lots more to be done...

Alvarius Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Man, that is sweet :) Think perhaps of adding flames, or braiser like exhaust tips and pieces of scaly skin hanging from the armor (best options - loincloth or purity seal like) something like on the FW salamanders termie shoulderpads.
