Stonedog Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Brothers- I really want a Contemptor.....not because I "need" it....but because it is a gorgeous model! I have 6 dreads at this point....the old metal Furioso (DC), the new Furioso, the Iron Clad (that can be used as either a Furioso or regular dread) and not less than 3 Black reach dreads with a LOT of weapon load out arms.... So I guess I really do not want another Furioso option....but by the Emperor I HAVE TO HAVE a Contemptor! So, what arm options would you suggest????

The Holy Heretic Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Missile launcher and dual Kheres assault cannons looks badass, or just a couple of fists to use as a DC dreadnought :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/245811-contemptor-loadout/#findComment-2973248 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonedog Posted January 21, 2012 Author Share Posted January 21, 2012 I thought about 2 fists....but I already have 2 Furioso.....one DC and one regular....want something different this time...

Captain Semper Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Well, as you said, you don't really need it -so go for the looks! The Holy Heretic's idea is fine with the two Kheres assault cannons but personally I prefer the twin linked Heavy Bolters with the twin drum magazines - see below. The "furioso" is also a safe bet. Totally badass!!! http://i1204.photobucket.com/albums/bb402/ackool/IMG_0396.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/245811-contemptor-loadout/#findComment-2973374 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonedog Posted January 21, 2012 Author Share Posted January 21, 2012 Good idea! I was leaning towards the heavy bolter...and maybe a lascannon on the other arm....a tank killing infantry eating machine!

grazer Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I couldn't decide, so I grabbed two of them. One will be armed with a Heavy Conversion Beamer, CCW and Missile Pod, and the other will be dual power claws. Now to find time to assemble and paint them.

Cleon Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Are you guys planning on using the standard Space Marine rules for the Contemptor? My interest in it vanished when I picked up Imperial Armour Apocalypse 2nd ed and found the Blood Angels version couldn't have any of the fun loadouts. As far as I can see the only things it can do that a standard dread can't is have the Kheres Assault cannon and to have a melta gun instead of the storm bolter.

Stonedog Posted January 22, 2012 Author Share Posted January 22, 2012 Definitely using the standard rules.....the IA books are just too expensive for a poor English teacher!

grazer Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I'm magnetizing mine so that I can use them both as furioso dreads in regular games, but in Apocalypse is when I'll use the conversion beamer and whatnot. It is sad that we BA players don't have access to all the cool relic bits, but the models are still gorgeous nonetheless.

Xenith Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 My interest in it vanished when I picked up Imperial Armour Apocalypse 2nd ed and found the Blood Angels version couldn't have any of the fun loadouts. Sure you read that right? IIRC, BA can use both contemptors, one normal for the interesting loadouts, and the other furioso contemptor for the talons.

Stonedog Posted January 22, 2012 Author Share Posted January 22, 2012 I am definitely magnetizing as well.....in fact I love me some magnets! Rhinos into razorbacks? Check.

Black_Sky Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 My interest in it vanished when I picked up Imperial Armour Apocalypse 2nd ed and found the Blood Angels version couldn't have any of the fun loadouts. Sure you read that right? IIRC, BA can use both contemptors, one normal for the interesting loadouts, and the other furioso contemptor for the talons. He did. Contemptor is available as an elites choice for Codex Space Marines, Codex Dark Angels or Codex Black Templar. Blood Angels Contemptor for Blood Angels, Space Wolves Contemptor for Space Wolves. Space Marine Contemptor Mortis Pattern is a Heavy Support choice in a Codex Space Marines, Codex Dark Angels and Codex Black Templars Army. And it's almost the same with the rest of the Space Marines stuff in IA Apocalypse 2nd ed. Thunderhawk transporter for all, Siege Dread for all but BA, Land Raider Achilles for all but BA, Caestus Assault Ram for all but BA, Lucious Patter Dread drop pod for all but BA. Of course, grey knight get really bummed receiving no love at all.

Emperors Immortals Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 While i do like the BA contemptor pattern, and it does give a freat range of loadouts, the lack of other support options has left me baffled. I felt like id just been handed a $200 joke. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/245811-contemptor-loadout/#findComment-2975246 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkkinite Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I personally like the looks of one fist with heavy bolter, and i really dig dual fist; boxing style! I just wish the blood fists actually looked like real hands, like the ones you get in venerable....
