Centurion Tom Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Hi guys I had a Contemptor dread kicking round not sure what chapter to paint it up as. After a chat with a guy in a store i started thinking about what drew me into the hobby and the mysterious robbed green fellas i was allowed to play with during my first game of 40k (store army I think). So I have decided to dedicate mr Contemptor to the unforgiven. I picked up the codex and a few sprues on ebay to get a feel for the army. Still WIP, so any suggestions would be appreciated, hope to get painting soon. http://i959.photobucket.com/albums/ae77/Catesy2021/2012-02-05221632.jpg http://i959.photobucket.com/albums/ae77/Catesy2021/2012-02-05221645.jpg http://i959.photobucket.com/albums/ae77/Catesy2021/2012-02-05221659.jpg http://i959.photobucket.com/albums/ae77/Catesy2021/2012-02-05221734.jpg Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Droma Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Nice conversion work and pose, looking forward to see what you do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Oooooh, the potential here.... Excellent looking Contemptor Centurion! Very nice work with the green stuff and the pose is just right - I like it when Contemptors are posed to attack with their secondary weapons... Somehow they are more threatening! Look forward to see paint on it! ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimdarkness Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Are you going to clean up the flash on the left hand rocket pod? Is he going to be Green or legion black? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Centurion Tom Posted February 6, 2012 Author Share Posted February 6, 2012 Thanks for the comments. @Grimdarkness: yeah not sure how I missed that. In fact there's a few other bits I missed and I could do with going over a few areas with green stuff. Hopefully when I get back from work and before the football. Oh and he will be in the chapter green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimdarkness Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Football football or that north american stuff? Greens a good choice looking forward to seeing some paint on the model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riddles Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Surely bone is your preferred colour? he has a hood and everything! seriously though, gorgeous. How difficult was it to alter the pose? I'm thinking of having my one of my mortis patterns kneeling to launch the cyclone missiles but I don't want to ruin such a beautiful model Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EPK Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I agree with the sentiments. A dash of well done greenstuff work makes quite the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How difficult was it to alter the pose? I'm thinking of having my one of my mortis patterns kneeling to launch the cyclone missiles but I don't want to ruin such a beautiful model My logic is that as he's in such an important relic he was high up in the chapter and a member of the inner circle, and was not serving with the deathwing during his interment into the dreadnought. So he's Green :lol: The legs are in bits, so feet, lower leg, knee pad armour, upper leg and pelvis area are separate so I reckon a kneeling dread wouldn't be to much bother.

Dark Rage Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Very nice contemptor like all the DA parts that have been added, not to much but not to little, very nice green stuff robe/tabard and hood. Great stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isiah Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Wow – it's almost making me want to buy one. Awesome stuff Centurion Tom. Cheers I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wacca Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 love the angel on top, love the tabbard and rope but i'm not too keen on a dread having a hood and I'm not too sure about the book. The pose is fantastic though really dynamic and full of motion. I was planning on using standard dreads (MkIV+MkV ironclad/ven/mortis) for my companies but I don't think those models look good in the bone colour. I was thinking of using a Contemptor for my Deathwing. I'm really looking forward to seeing yours painted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heretic??ME?? Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 The hood is so simple but change this model so much. Very nice!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAM77 Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 This model just looks amazing! I was on the fence but after seeing this guy I went and ordered a relic contemptor for my Deathwing! Can't wait to see how you paint him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigGumbo Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 looks great. built my first Relic Contemptor on Saturday, painting up this weekend to join the Deathwing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordofNight2 Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 If you need an idea on what to paint him... If he is a Fallen dread then paint him Black with dark green cloth and blue eyes. the auila should be gold If he is Dark Angels dread then paint him dark green with bleached bone cloth and gold aquila Those are my ideas for paint. also if he's fallen give him skulls and helmets and if hes a dark angel notraml give him some purity seals and red eyes Those are my suggestions! ;) :P awesome model, i liek. Have fun painting and fielding that thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
