Hyaenidae Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 An odd question... has anyone tried the contemptor arms on regular Dreads (forgeworld or otherwise?). Just curious how they match up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShinyRhino Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 I think there are two problems you'll run into: First, the shoulder joints of the Contemptor are part of the main body kit. Each arm plugs into the bicep area, instead of attaching at the shoulder joint like a normal Dread. To get around that you'd end up having to buy a whole Contemptor kit just for the shoulder sections, and then magnetizing the shoulder and bicep joins to make them modular. Second, the Contemptor is a lot taller than a normal Dread. If you put those arms on the standard boxy Dread, there's a strong chance the arms will end up too long, making your Dread look like an orangutan.

Hyaenidae Posted March 2, 2012 Author Share Posted March 2, 2012 That was my concern too, but I should probably expand on what I was debating. I was going to buy the Black Templar FW Dread, two Dreadfire arms, and one of the Contemptor Heavy Bolter arms. The HB arm seems a bit shorter than the rest of them, and the Dreadfire arms have the shoulder socket. Hopefully the HB arm joint will fit into the Dreadfire shoulder socket, which will get magnitized to switch out. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The socket of the dreadfire arms looks a lot like the one of the other contemptor weapon arms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyaenidae Posted March 4, 2012 Author Share Posted March 4, 2012 Ugh.... Dang Forge World will take Visa Credit Cards, but not Visa Debit Cards.... *Sigh* Does anyone know of a trustworthy Online store that sells / takes orders for Forge World stuff?

Marshal Traben Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 When i buy from Forge World, they usually accept my Visa Electron card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyaenidae Posted March 4, 2012 Author Share Posted March 4, 2012 Yeah, and they used to accept my Visa Debit too. Checked their policies after I got denied, and lo and behold, they changed their policy on the Visa Debit. Go figure. That's fine, I'll give my money to someone else. Question still stands, Does anyone know of a trustworthy Online store that sells / takes orders for Forge World stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyaenidae Posted March 4, 2012 Author Share Posted March 4, 2012 From the FW site... If you're ordering from outside the UK we can only accept Visa and Mastercard credit card payments, but if you're a UK customer we can also accept Maestro and Visa debit cards. :) Grrrrr...

Marshal Traben Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 I understand what you mean. But i have a feature activated in my e-bank account that allows me to buy things from certain webstores abroad. I think it's Verified by Visa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyaenidae Posted March 4, 2012 Author Share Posted March 4, 2012 It's cool, man. I'm looking at wayland games right now, in hopes that they have all the FW parts I'm looking for, but it's not promising (they got a lot, but not all). Again, if anyone knows an online store that sells FW stuff, it'd be much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Traben Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 I am sorry to bother you 1000heathens, but does your debit card have the verified by visa feature activated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyaenidae Posted March 4, 2012 Author Share Posted March 4, 2012 It does, and I've made a number of international orders in the past (including about a week ago) with verified by visa, but it will not go through FW. Sigh. Again, if anyone knows an online store that sells FW stuff, it'd be much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Traben Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Have you asked your bank or Forge World about that? A few times these past years when i was checking out at FW, it did not for some reason accept my payment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyaenidae Posted March 4, 2012 Author Share Posted March 4, 2012 ;) :lol: :lol: :lol: Head + Table = Me... I feel like a fool. My bank just called because of 'suspicious purchases', and gave me my FW order attempt. In other words, they thought I wasn't me. So, I should be able to make my order in about 20 minutes. Hell, I'd rather my bank be paranoid then just letting whatever orders come out of my accout, right? lol.
