daismith906 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Hi All Got about a 2500pts painted Silver Skulls army which im just adding the finishing touches too, and received yesterday from FW my Contemptor Pattern Dreadnought which i feels derserves for me to actually start a thread for as the minis amazing. Definately the best minI FW has done to date, no casting issues at all and can glue it into any pose you want. Ive magnetised the arms as as FW bring out the rest of the weapon upgrades i can easily interchange them http://img64.imageshack.us/img64/7808/003dxn.jpg http://img853.imageshack.us/img853/1390/004fx.jpg http://img52.imageshack.us/img52/4219/005bil.jpg With extra DCCW http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/6140/006cpi.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/235501-silver-skulls-contemptor/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grotsmasha Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Hey dude, looking good. Just one minor foible, you've put the stormbolters into the fists, but added the flamer canisters rather than the ammo magazines....still looks good, just thought it may have been an oversight.

daismith906 Posted August 2, 2011 Author Share Posted August 2, 2011 Yeah I didn't like the ammo mags so decided to use the flamer cans as search lights!!

Olis Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 I think you might've added the stormbolters a little late in construction, brother. They seem to be too far forward - they're meant to be placed in the recess behind the power fists 'hand', rather than in the palm. Looking good otherwise, though. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/235501-silver-skulls-contemptor/#findComment-2836105 Share on other sites More sharing options...
daismith906 Posted August 2, 2011 Author Share Posted August 2, 2011 Yeah I noticed that after I made the 1st hand so decided to do the other the same, basically they pop out when there to be fired imo!

Crazy Eight Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 how have u magnetized the left arm i see how you have done the right but is the left fixed . and did you pin or put magnets in the legs and hips Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/235501-silver-skulls-contemptor/#findComment-2836226 Share on other sites More sharing options...
daismith906 Posted August 3, 2011 Author Share Posted August 3, 2011 Only the right arm is magnetised, the left is glued in place. No need to pin the legs either just glue. Managed to trim the bolters down on the removable fist so it definatley looks like the guns pop out when there about to be fired!

Mr Yellow Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Where did you get the metal grille under his foot? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/235501-silver-skulls-contemptor/#findComment-2836953 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Captain Sharp Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Where did you get the metal grille under his foot? Basing kit from GW if I'm not mistaken. My only minor pick would be that the shoulder joint is minorly messed up by the magnets not being recessed. However, as I just assembled one of those, I know how small and thin those pieces are. I think I'll magnetize my second. :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/235501-silver-skulls-contemptor/#findComment-2836963 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyrannicide Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Probably the best painted Contemptor I've seen to date. Also, I agree with Ludovic. Army shots, please.
