Uprising Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I am currently looking at getting my first Contemptor for my pre heresy death guard. I plan on magnetizing it, but I am wondering which load out is the best to start out with? i was thinking dual Kheres Assault cannons, and havoc launcher. Thoughts, and thanks for reading.

KBA Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 That's probably the most popular option, and a real killer, but don't discount dual lascannons either for killing off flyers and hitting tanks - a lot of which in the heresy can be immune to melta.

Reyner Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 My Contemptor currently has a kheres assault cannon and a plasma blaster. It's magnetised so I can swap them =) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/285669-contemptor-loadout/#findComment-3570709 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperors Teeth Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Mine will have a Power Fist with Graviton gun, and a Conversion Beamer. Realistically in the long run it'll end up with a more reliable gun like Twin Las or a Kheres but I'm keeping that Graviton gun.

lokkorex Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 currently i'm looking to make two contemptor talons, one long range with one with Twin-lascannons and havoc launcher, and the other with conversion beamer, havoc launcher and dccw with Heavy flamer. the other will be more infantry support with havoc launchers, plasma cannon/kheres assault cannon and dccw.

Brother Captain Lucian Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 The Kheres are my favourite, they made a mess of a DE army^^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/285669-contemptor-loadout/#findComment-3570748 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelPaladin Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I am partial to the Conversion Beamer, but that is just because I try to have as many 30k only weapons in my Heresy Army. I love all the esoteric ray guns(volkites especially) that are available in 30k, it just helps to distinguish it from 40k even more.

Sanct Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I love the Contemptor in idea just not in game-reality. Too expensive outside the dual lascannon mortis verion. Regular dreadnought talons with dual ccw/graviton guns...hmmm 155pts of short ranged anti armour and tarpitting. 3 of them quite happily stop that spartan and them stomp the terminators inside. You know the ones everyone seems to take....so long as the dreads can get close enough. (they are fragile to mass S6 which is quite common in legion lists) It's why I'm aiming for 6 of them in one list Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/285669-contemptor-loadout/#findComment-3570795 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noserenda Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I do love Graviton guns on mine, superb tank killers, especially against Darn Spartans! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/285669-contemptor-loadout/#findComment-3570803 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barabbas Sogalon Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Will give mine a kheres and a heavy flamer, the latter because I need as much chem munitions as possible. Wish there was an option to give a Contemptor volkite weaponry.

Russ Brother 92 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I have 3 currently - 1 w/conversion beamer and plasma blaster, 1 w/dual lascannons (my AA guy) and last one with kheres + dccw/heavy flamer for my up close workout haha Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/285669-contemptor-loadout/#findComment-3571503 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armond Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Thoughts on one that would be fluffy for Night Lords? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/285669-contemptor-loadout/#findComment-3571680 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Azrael275 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 In my army I use 3 contemptors with the following load outs: 2x Kheres Assault Cannons Heavy Bolter and Dreadnought CCW Lascannon and Dreadnought CCW They all work pretty well for me Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/285669-contemptor-loadout/#findComment-3571705 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reyner Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Twin claws or give it a couple of knives. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/285669-contemptor-loadout/#findComment-3571709 Share on other sites More sharing options...
infyrana Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Night Lords ? Check Massacre - dual pointy finger claw setup, or claw with HB and havoc launcher are two that are have history. Fist or slow mortar style weaponry might seem a little out of sync with any sort of fast attack approach in my view, and I'd see something like Kheres or Beamer interesting choices.

coloroutofspace Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Kheres/Claw, Dual Kheres, Dual Claw with Plasma Blasters for Night Lords, a Havoc Launcher here and there. Overall Conversion Beamers look great, but otherwise are a waste of points. Same thing with Heavy Bolters. On the other hand the Contemptor seems like the one thing that could make proper use of Graviton Guns - Dual CCW with GG.

Hyaenidae Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Just to be different and insane, I've been debating one with twin Plasma Cannons. Fire is bright, and fire is clean.
