Tiger9gamer Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Alright, thinking about what I need now in my army, and narrowed it down to some choices. I would have added a poll but found ther is none >.< so far my choices are: ForgeWorld bundle of joy!- I want to grab a contemptor dreadnaught, x2 assault cannons, x2 lascannons, CML, IA: Imperial Armour Aeronautica, and maybe a scimitar jetbike for Sammuel. 158$ (before shipping) Another DW command box!- I can use this to make A beliel and at least 2 more DWK. 60$ at my local GW. Ravenwing!- regular sammuel, a box of 3 bikes, and a new full support squad box-303$ Which one? I'm currently leaning towards the FW, but still, more DW is tempting...

Pbenner Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I vote Forgeworld. If you're going to go that route anyway - sooner is better. Their models are awesome. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cactus Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I think you've got the priority order nailed there, so Forge World first, then the terminators and finally the Ravenwing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MithrilForge Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 How goods your painting? ...if your new to painting or its just plain crappy then you may be better off buying the DW and practicing/improving your paint skills, you wouldn't want to spend a heap of money on forgeworld only to paint it like a 5 yr old(some people prob do) i couldn't imagine anyone sane doing that... but if your paint skilled then by all means get the FW !!

[TA]Typher Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I'd go Forgeworld, but as nice as the contemptor is.. the DA Dread looks amazing! http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Images/Product/AlternativeFW/xlarge/DADread1.jpg This is mine.. http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/z389/typher/Gabriel%20Typheran/A1_zpse6280c4c.jpg or at least it was until I finished it... it looks even cooler now.

elphilo Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Late to the party, but why not Forge World AND Deathwing Command Squad? It'll be cheaper than your Ravenwing option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facmanpob Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Personally, I'm waiting for the Dark Angels Contemptor, which will be released ....... eventually! So I'd get the normal DW box and paint that up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaplain Killmer Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I would go for the deathwing. No discussions if you field it - no crappy warped resin with tremendous mold remains - and terminators are cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger9gamer Posted February 26, 2013 Author Share Posted February 26, 2013 well, FW isn't a problem where I am... and don't turn it into one of those threads >.> please. Anyways, I don't want a theme cause I play a successor chapter, so it's probably going to be gunmetal and bronze in most places to fit the rest of my army.

Cactus Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 is there any magnetizing guides to building the contemptor? If all you want to magnetise are alternative arms then you really don't need a guide. When you see how the arm connects to the shoulder it's obvious. The waist and hip joints are ball and socket so they'd be more difficult. The only reason I can see for magnetising the waist is to disassemble the model for transport which I don't find necessary.

Do you have to ask - FW bundle of joy. is there any magnetizing guides to building the contemptor? Should not be too hard - just remember polarity, resin is fairly light so you should not need massive magnets although arm droop may be a problem. More than likely it will work just like a larger version of a Termi - 1 magnet in the torso and 1 in each arm shoulder socket. is there any magnetizing guides to building the contemptor?

Tiger9gamer Posted February 27, 2013 Author Share Posted February 27, 2013 Hmmm okay. I tried magnetizing a terminator once and it sucked. is there any way to make a small hole w/o so much drilling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No drilling or cutting required. When I get home I'll snap a couple of photos of my contemptor's arm joints because it's easier to point and say "this bit here".
