Fire Golem Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 FW have up now their Night Lords and Iron Warriors Contemptors. Both are pretty damn sweet in my opinion. http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/New_Stuff/IRON_WARRIORS_LEGION_CONTEMPTOR_DREADNOUGHT.html http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/New_Stuff/NIGHT_LORDS_LEGION_CONTEMPTOR_DREADNOUGHT.html Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/295636-new-contemptors/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chandrian Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 i'm a little disappointed in the NL Contempter :( ..... i think it needed a bit more "Night Lordy-nesss" Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/295636-new-contemptors/#findComment-3786466 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artein Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 i'm a little disappointed in the NL Contempter ..... i think it needed a bit more "Night Lordy-nesss" Really? It has a big Night Lords emblem, skull-head, skull/head trophies hanging from it, some flayed skin for the final touch, plus it's midnight clad with lightnings painted on it. What else does it need?

Fire Golem Posted August 22, 2014 Author Share Posted August 22, 2014 My favourite Contemptor is still the Sons of Horus one, but yeah I like these two. And yeah the NL one looks pretty damn NL to me... My only complaint is maybe it's a little obvious, formulaic... 'Skull helm, bat wings and severed heads. Done.'

How would you make it more Night Lord-y? My favourite Contemptor is still the Sons of Horus one, but yeah I like these two. And yeah the NL one looks pretty damn NL to me... My only complaint is maybe it's a little obvious, formulaic... 'Skull helm, bat wings and severed heads. Done.' SoH and Death Guard are my two faves, but again with the NL one, I mean... what else could they do? People are going to expect something to decisively mark it out as Night Lords, but then when they do that, there's one side saying it's TOO Night Lord-y and another saying it's not Night Lord-y enough. I think they problem is that the Night Lords are one of those Legions where everyone has a very different idea of what makes them look like Night Lords. Me personally, I hated the look of the old Night Lords prior to FW stepping in, with the ridiculous and cartoony bat wings, especially on the helmets. http://www.games-workshop.com/resources/catalog/product/600x620/99800102022_NightLordsConversionPackNEW01.jpg How is anyone supposed to take those helmets seriously? They'd make me fall over laughing, not run in terror. FW took that G-rated Disney villain silliness and cranked up the darkness to something bordering on R-rated. Now, I have my own ideas for my VIII Legion appearance, and I'm generally not a fan of gory trophies on models, but I can't deny that the FW NLs look awesome.

Iron Hands Fanatic Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 If you wanted to make it more 'Night Lord-y' you could carve some of the runes from Massacre into the more plain panels & paint the covered with gore?

How would you make it more Night Lord-y? i suppose i'm pitting it up against the Sons of Horus Contemptor and wished it was that awesome looking. I'm not looking at paint so much. More the detail on the model itself. Yes, it has the Legion symbol and a couple of head, but i feel it needs more. Night Lords are suppose to he terror in the Flesh....literally lol and its for that reason that their ways of warfare and the Legion itself were called into question. i would add some draping flesh from each shoulder or even skinned faces. Make them look like Purity seals or Oaths but out of flesh. The shoulder itself could have a legion symbol on one side and the Roman Numeral 8. OR even Bother Heinrich's Contemptor idea of having a full torso chained to the shoulder. That could even be on the shin. All a matter of preference i suppose.

Brofist Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Wow, I am really bummed about the IW contemptor. Between the resin hazard stripes and orky armor? At least the head is cool, but what other contemptor could I possibly stick that head onto Even the FW team seems to agree- they gave it silly army poses, two of the images are duplicates, no back view, and they didn't even paint it up. Yup, hard to get crazy about that model. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/295636-new-contemptors/#findComment-3786641 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Golem Posted August 22, 2014 Author Share Posted August 22, 2014 I like the 'orky' armour, looks like it's been repaired mid siege. And you can always fill the hazard stripes in.

Brofist Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Yeah, I'm not gonna spend that much money on a model I have to fix. More likely I'll just buy a generic one. Still bummed I've waited a few years of that guy. Can't knock them all out of the park I guess.

Fire Golem Posted August 22, 2014 Author Share Posted August 22, 2014 No that's fair enough :) I agree, I don't like buying models I have to fix.

Brother Captain Lucian Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 I actually like the mid-siege repaired armour, and the head is awesome. My only complaint is the premade hazard stripes. But that is really a minor note. I'm ordering two, with dual Kheres and dual autocannons. Now I just want Perturabo to stand between them.

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Yeah, not blown away by the IW contemptor. I really like the head, but the rest of it looks like a bunch of different ideas all got thrown together in one big, jumbled mess. I also agree that the pose they chose to display the model with is... not endearing. In fact, it made me think of this: http://i.imgur.com/B0sGB1O.png Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/295636-new-contemptors/#findComment-3786672 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relict Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 At least the Contemptors are reposable. Us World Eaters are stuck with the Red Butchers and their silly poses.

Same goes for the tap-dancing Ashen Circle for the Word Bearers. It worries me what they'll do with the IW torsos and bodies, given this direction with the Contemptor. The old CSM IW bits are what I hoped they would do an homage to... but it looks like Iron Hands got that treatment instead. Instead they are going for the pragmatic battle repaired look (almost exactly the opposite of why I picked that legion in the first place). This is turning into a rant. Sorry dudes. This is just my first experience with a design retcon that will probably affect me.
