Brother Ambroz Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 I just got mine in the mail today, first Forgeworld purchase btw (I don't like the fact they don't give directions! Spent 15 minutes just trying to figure out where everything goes...), and I'm wondering how I'm going to convert it for my Night Lords. I'm thinking GS on the powerfists to turn them into claws but other than that I've no idea really. I was thinking spiky stuff from the chaos vehicle sprue but it doesn't look like there's really anywhere to put them. Anyone have any ideas or done any conversions yet? If anyone's done any, even loyalist ones I'd like to see them. The model itself is really nice and any painted or converted ones would be cool to see.

simon-042 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 There's a 27 odd page thread of finished dreads in the Hall of Honour, no idea if there is a converted contemptor in there but it might be a good place to look. http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...p;hl=contemptor Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/235926-contemptor-dread-conversions/#findComment-2842252 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coopervisor Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Arm/weapon swaps are pretty easy. That's what I've done with mine: http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b76/angelofrage/IMG_20110730_141933.jpg There are also a few threads in the WIP section on this site where people have added GS and bits to the torsos to make them stand out.

AridMonk Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 This is what I did with mine up until a couple days ago: http://i1131.photobucket.com/albums/m549/AridMonk/photo21-1.jpg Since then Ive changed the loincloth and added some more bits and bobs to make him stand out as the venerable warmachine that he is.

Brother Ambroz Posted August 9, 2011 Author Share Posted August 9, 2011 Yeah that thread only has one contemptor so far. I've started painting mine a bit, has anyone found the paint doesn't stick to the plastic very well?

The_son_of_Dorn Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Anyone done a chaos one? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/235926-contemptor-dread-conversions/#findComment-2842505 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AridMonk Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 @Tanith Ghost, did you wash the parts in warm soapy water? Forge World has a releasing agent in its moulds which you will need to wash off before you paint it, otherwise the paint wont stick.

freaky fryer Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Yes its true about the releasing agent FW use,but warm soapy water didnt work for me(and i used a scrubbing brush).A friend of mine told me to use floor cleaner to get rid of the releasing agent.I gave it a go and it worked.

Honda Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 @Coopervisor: Many thanx for that. I bought one of those Sallie arms on the off chance that it might fit and you have confirmed it. Most excellent. My intention is to have the normal fist on one side with a flamer and the sallie arm on the other. It is to represent a GK dread with DCCW-flamer/TL heaver flamer. It will be transported by a Storm Raven. I'm even more jazzed I have one of these puppies now.
