Captain Semper Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Check this out! Relic Contemptor and Mk1 Rhino Right then, where are those brushes... Do you people like it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
he_plays_guitar Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Man I love that rhino...I have always thought the old rhinos had lots of charm, and that one's even better. Same size as the current one, but with all the old goodies. What's not to love? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Kovash Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I kinda like the Land Raider Proteus, looks like it's missing the heavy bolters though. I'm sure I could find a way to jam them in somewhere. Those old models make me wish I started playing decades ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Blaire Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 The new Comtemptor is even better! Dammit, I need to find a way to buy these things!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jehoel Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Where are the rules for the Comtemptor (both versions) at? Gotta see those before I can decide which to get. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted September 23, 2011 Author Share Posted September 23, 2011 It is in FW site in the Contemptor slot. Unfortunately I cannot provide a link as I am at work. But check it out - its there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well now those guys who sold/trashed their old stuff are hacking their hands off i wager. Same happened with the old armor marks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillyfish Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Hmm, I wasn't much of a fan of the original models - the FW versions are subtly different, which is all to the good. They look much better than the originals. That said, I still have my original 'dome top' predator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Blaire Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 I think the difference is the refinement that has happened from the originals until now. The tweaks are very subtle, but they are there, and it is probably due to the material, modelers either being more "refined" themselves or just new modelers with more refined techniques. The same can be said of the older armor in the form of the Mk6, the older models, while looking similar, just don't look as sleek and predatory to me, plus the models themselves have some articulation, etc. Also, the FW Mk4 also looks slightly better than the GW Mk4 pieces.

Captain Semper Posted September 23, 2011 Author Share Posted September 23, 2011 Just saw the new stuff in FW Apocalypse second edition, and I'm sad to say there is no DA pattern Contemptor. There is a BA one and a SW one but no DA one... There is a Mortis though. Oh well... And there is a close up on the torso of the Relic Contemptor and it looks even better!

Captain Semper Posted September 23, 2011 Author Share Posted September 23, 2011 I guess you're right... But it'd be cool to call it "DA pattern Contemtor". Not that I'm complaining with all the new stuff out there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Blaire Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Mmmmmmm, Mortis-pattern Heavy Conversion Beamers with attached Cyclone Launcher. :D Yes, slightly, because I actually like the GW Mk4 BT and BA torsos, it's he heads that aren't as nice as FW's. None of it matters to me much because I still have to work out a way to buy FW stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jehoel Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 It is in FW site in the Contemptor slot. Unfortunately I cannot provide a link as I am at work. But check it out - its there... Looked there. All I see are the Contemptor model parts and the IA: Apoc 2 2nd ed with Contemptor rules in it. Please tell me the Contemptor is not a Apoc only unit?

Vazzy Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 I like the contemptor, but personally I prefer forgeworld's DA venerable dress. I'm planning on getting both Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isiah Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Jury's out on the Contemptor pattern for me – they're too 'human-looking' – Dreads should be boxes on legs surely :(. But other days I love it <_< . The weapons though are awesome sauce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Captain Sharp Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 I had the same thought as the OP. I already have the base Contemptor for my Heresy-era Imperial Fists. This pattern is perfect for my Angels of Retribution. Forgeworld, why must you take all my money?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EPK Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 The contemptor looks damn cool, but I do understand what Isiah means. They look like giant Terminators - which of course they are in a sense - and I can only assume is completely intentional. I definitely love the Mk1 Rhino kit. It gives you that charm of the old rhinos with the added size of the current models yet improves on a couple areas that always bothered me with them, namely the old fragile smoke stacks and the very plain looking gun hatches of the old models. That master of the forge is a pretty sweet model too. That's one I wouldn't mind converting into a Consecrator. Sadly, I find it hard to bring myself to buying forgeworld items, they are just so darned expensive (not to mention the damn exchange rate on the British Pound). Hey Captain Semper, have you played any games with your contemptors yet? How do you feel about the extra height as far as grabbing cover if needed.

Hey Captain Semper, have you played any games with your contemptors yet? How do you feel about the extra height as far as grabbing cover if needed. :tu: Oh dear... the question I've been dreading all along! Unfortunately the answer in "no" :tu:. The thing is my time is beyond limited... I only get some time to paint between familly & work and getting a 3-4 hour bracket in the weekend is a luxury I just can't afford at the moment... Hopefully this will change once I approach pension age in say... another 40 years? Given I live in Greece an'all... :tu: I'm happy to discuss the large surfaces of the model that lend themselves to ones creativity - I beleive excellent free hand stuff will be surfacing soon and I'm happy to discuss background too, but to give tactical advice? I only wish... EDIT: What do you mean turning the Master of the Forge into a Contemptor??? Actually entombing the guy or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EPK Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Gotcha, and I totally understand... I haven't played in months myself. EDIT: What do you mean turning the Master of the Forge into a Contemptor??? Actually entombing the guy or what? You misread, I said into a Consecrator (as it is Astral Claws now)... but but but, I think you just unintentionally stumbled upon something, albeit mostly in Iron Hands territory perhaps - a fallen Master of the Forge entombed into an amped up Contemptor Dreadnought. It seems they do have conversion beamer. It's certainly already mechanical enough, maybe add some more techie bits and/or AdMech icons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
