I just noticed it, needless to say I want one! Annnnd, I want that SoH Contemptor to convert to the Night Lord side(preparing my files and hobby knife....)

Drippy Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I'm not really into it honestly, it's kinda goofy looking. Although I think it might look great posed as if the dread was at the beginning of a back swing with closed fingers.

Captain Semper Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I'm with Drippy on this... Not a fan - it could have been way more brutal than just a chaisword replacing a "finger" of the power fist... Kind of underwheming.

Armond Posted April 29, 2014 Author Share Posted April 29, 2014 Well I am looking to maybe replace the chain blade with another finer, then have the blade underslung perhaps. I see what you mean, I looked at the angle funny, I thought it was originally that way, didn't realize til now it replaced a finger!

Xwingt65 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Its a chain finger, not a chain fist. Looks like the designer gave up halfway through and just stuck a chainsword onto it.

Kol Saresk Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 That chainfist would be perfect for modeling a Contemptor flipping the bird..... Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/290303-contemptor-chainfist/#findComment-3667655 Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Marshal Marcus Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 At first glance... I thought the chain section seemed somewhat fragile. But It's growing on me! That being said... I never understood the old chain fist... or how adding a chain sword to a power fist made it that much more powerfull as the fluff describes :/ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/290303-contemptor-chainfist/#findComment-3667661 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greyall Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Semper said it best, underwhelming...and on a Contemptor of all things, the loss of potential is great...Dual giant short chainswords spinning in opposite directions would be much better, or an underslung one...

Molokai Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 It looks fragile, not something that can carve through armour. Why didn't they make it brutal? As others have said; missed opportunity.

Cpt_Reaper Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 One could replace each digit with the chainsaw bayonette as an alternative? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/290303-contemptor-chainfist/#findComment-3667796 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuskRaider Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 They could have done something similar to this Chainfisthttp://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Warhammer-40000/Space_Marines/Space-Marine-Dreadnoughts/MKIV_IRONCLAD_CHAINFIST.htmlOnly underslung beneath a regular Contemptor fist. Alternatively, they could've taken the Chainblade from that Ironclad Chainfist and pulled off a Tyberos the Red Wake and had two of them coming out of the bottom of the Contemptor fist. That sounds pretty cool, actually... Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/290303-contemptor-chainfist/#findComment-3667887 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noctus Cornix Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 A thing I just thought of for a contemptor chainfist would be using the chain axe head from the Lord of Skulls, do a little bit of filing down to make it form fitting and under sling it to the bottom of a powerfist arm.

MordentHex Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 this doesn't work for me, If i want a chainfist, i will use the FW chainfist for the normal dreadnought. It is compatible.

I never understood the old chain fist... or how adding a chain sword to a power fist made it that much more powerfull as the fluff describes :/ Its the combination of the powerfists powerfield and the heavy duty chainblade attachment. Plus the wielder can keep preasure on the targets armor longer with the blade then with a single swing with the fist, Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/290303-contemptor-chainfist/#findComment-3668048 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Loss Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 It's rare indeed that FW release something I find hilariously bad, but they've hit that particular button very hard with this one.

grand_master85 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 This is one of only two items that FW released that I think is just so hideously ugly if never but it (looking at you, WE Rampagers heads). If they released more misses than hits, I'd probably have a more substantial bank balance Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/290303-contemptor-chainfist/#findComment-3668128 Share on other sites More sharing options...
depthcharge12 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 This one was just plain lazy, un imaginative, and unreal in terms of logical application use (suspending belief for plasma weapons and such). Attaching a chainsword to a finger doesn't make it better at cutting through armor. FW could've at least done what other hobbyist have done already and replace the fingers with the Phobos bolter chainblades, they at least look cool.

Armond Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share Posted April 30, 2014 I am going to create my own... I have a spare dreadnought CCW hand I can use. Plenty of chainswords/axes! Fun times!

Uprising Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Forgeworld also never miss making the best resin on the market, but when they do we all weep. With the contemptor chain fist release we are drowning in our tears. I dislike it, alot.

Losark Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I Chose to Make My Own ChaInfist.
