SCOTT_FRANCIS Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 As I am now almost convinced to collect a GK army as well as my BT army, I have a question. As all three of my options cost much the same. Which Dreadnought body do I use for my first GK model? I believe it is lovingly referred to as the "Psifleman". 2 x Twin Linked Autocannons with Psibolt Ammo. Choice 1 - The Contemptor Pattern Dreadnought. Choice 2 - The Venerable Contemptor Pattern Dreadnought. Choice 3 - The Mark IV Grey Knight Dreadnought All have merit and I am undecided as to which one to buy.

Kilofix Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 There's also the MK V body. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291911-mortis-dreadnought-question/#findComment-3706900 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teetengee Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Venerable Contemptor, just the right amount of bling. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291911-mortis-dreadnought-question/#findComment-3706901 Share on other sites More sharing options...
boreas Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 I've got both options a and c the they look nice. But the contemptor is definitely more impressive.

Gentlemanloser Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Personally, while a Contemptor looks awesome, I dislike it looks with dual TL Autocannons. If you're going Dual Autocannon, my vote is the Mark IV GK Dread. If you're going Fist/Assault Cannon, Contemptor. All the way. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291911-mortis-dreadnought-question/#findComment-3706918 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exile Noctis Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Personally, while a Contemptor looks awesome, I dislike it looks with dual TL Autocannons. If you're going Dual Autocannon, my vote is the Mark IV GK Dread. If you're going Fist/Assault Cannon, Contemptor. All the way. Based on this, what would you use for the Autocannons? I was quite disappointed when I got my Dreadnought the other month only to find no Autocannons in the box. :( Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291911-mortis-dreadnought-question/#findComment-3706937 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valerian Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Either the Mark IV or Mark V Grey Knight bodies get my vote. Save the Contemptor body for actual Contemptor Dreadnoughts. V Order the arms from the same place you get the body.

Gentlemanloser Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Either that, or if you're confident in converting, make them from a Quad Gun. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291911-mortis-dreadnought-question/#findComment-3706949 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilofix Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 One other thing that might (or might not) be a consideration: If you want to magnetize your Dread to be carried under a GK Storm Raven; the Contemptor is too tall. The regular MK V and MK IV will fit (without the base).

SCOTT_FRANCIS Posted June 4, 2014 Author Share Posted June 4, 2014 Thank you for your input Brothers. The arms of the Contemptor, choice a, are the weapons of choice for both the Standard Contemptor, choice a, and the Venerable Contemptor, choice b. I picked choice c as my 40K Dreadnought body of choice as I really like the head module. I think it would go really well with a squad of Terminators. The MK IV would get the MKV Mortis Twin Linked Autocannon arms, you can get the left hand arm in MKIV, but I can not find a right hand MKIV and they need to be the same type of arm, There are slight differences. All models, bodies and arms, are available on the Forgeworld website. http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Warhammer-40000 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291911-mortis-dreadnought-question/#findComment-3707185 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Master Caloth Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 My mortis is the MKIV, and I used a quad gun for its autocannons. No conversion needed, esp if you are using magnets Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291911-mortis-dreadnought-question/#findComment-3709571 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCOTT_FRANCIS Posted June 6, 2014 Author Share Posted June 6, 2014 I made a quick mock up of the Venerable Contemptor with the Twin Auto Cannon arms. Dont look too close. I think I am going for this one. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291911-mortis-dreadnought-question/#findComment-3710109 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCOTT_FRANCIS Posted June 6, 2014 Author Share Posted June 6, 2014 I know the wife will shoot me, but I have gone and purchased the body of a Relic Contemptor Dreadnought for my Strike Force.

SCOTT_FRANCIS Posted June 7, 2014 Author Share Posted June 7, 2014 There's the bad boy, on the right, imagine that, all silver, with gold filigree and a blue sheen, twin autocannons.

WarSpirit Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 I ordered a venerable contemptor this week with two TL autocannons for my second mortis, can't wait for it. My first is built with a BA librarian furioso dread, the head swapped with a GK terminator helmet and the arms with a quadgun from the aegis defense line.
