Lanfear Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Hello :) i'm thinking about buying a Contemptor Dreadnought, at least i had this plan at the end of the 5th Edition. As i did not play more than 3 games in the 6th Edition, i wonder if the rules are good enough to field the model on the playground :)So, what do you think? Is the Contemptor Dreadnought good or bad, and if you field him, what would be your loadout? :) The latest rules are found in the Imperial Armour - Apocalypse 2013 :) Thanks,Lanfear Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/292479-contemptor-worth-taking/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of what I was told is that they are very good, but over costed for what they do, especially since chaos doesn't have access to the Contemptor Mortis, which can take two Kheres Assault Cannons, and if stationary, can use the Skyfire rule. In the end, I wasn't able to decide based on any kind of performance, and had go by my gut. Still debating whether to grab a Contemptor or a Decimator daemon engine, and sadly, both or rather low on my list of goodies right now. I say, if you love the model, grab it and use it. After all, if you played only competitive units, you wouldn't be a Chaos player now, would you?

Chaeron Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Decimator with two Butchers is a purchase I've never regretted. But both are great models - depends on what you need really!

Strazhakov Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 I'd rather go for a Decimator. Looks much more Chaos-y and dedication to Nurgle + 1 or 2 Butcher Cannons make it a really tough albeit crazy expensive beatstick.

Kilofix Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 With similar load-outs options: Contemptor for Ranged (because it has a 4+ on Glancing), has higher BS, and is cheaper. Decimator for CC because it can Deep Strike, has higher STR, has more ATKs, is harder to Stun / Immobilize and comes stock with Siege + HF.

That's what I'm looking at for delicious firepower.

Kilofix Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 CL4-TP? That IS what he looks like! I was trying to put my finger on it. Just needs uni-wheel.
