Fire Golem Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Pricey, but pretty sweet. Also is that an Ultramarine in the size comparison? First pre heresy UM we've seen from them right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nehekhare Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 MINE!! glad for the 2nd Head option, though... from the construction guide: he is a dark mechanicum archmagos with a lot of occularis (cyber familiar) on an abeyant with machinator array and paragon blade... that's basically how I field my HQ all the time. Also, I heard we will be seeing downloadable rules for him even before book IV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barabbas Sogalon Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Since he is part of the character series does this fellow appear in any of the novels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemon2027 Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 He hasn't as far as I know. I don't think all the character series will, I am guessing he will be a major part of the next FW book. I want one, glad there is a head option, but having just ordered the Gorgon Terminators I am going to have to wait on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFeeder Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Whilst I'm sad it's not Sigismund or Sevatar, it certainly represents an interesting shift in their release paradigm. The accompanying video doesn't have the sculptor(s) providing a commentary to the sculpting process and/or background of the miniature either.

Iron Hands Fanatic Posted September 8, 2014 Author Share Posted September 8, 2014 Although, 'Luficer' would be a useful name to tie all those similarly themed variants into a single pattern. After all, I have been considering changing that design to 'Furibundis' which is the name of the model it's based on, and is listed alongside the Lucifer, Castraferrum (MK IV/V) & Contemptor patterns in the FW HH books. Plus it would let me do a 'Deredo' version which could be more CC-oriented and be closer in appearance to the original: http://www.double-eagle.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/dreadnought_pre_paint.jpg http://i1127.photobucket.com/albums/l634/dswanick/Warhammer%2040000/40K-WhiteDwarfCompendium-RogueTrader-1.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phalanx Warder Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I am going to go out on a limb and say that the legionless Astartes is a Terran born Raven Guard that Corax banished Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Majorbookworm Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Weren't the old Dread' models (the Furibundus sketch in Iron Hand Fanatic's last post), reimagined as the new FW Contemptors, or was that something different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Golem Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 I think the Contemptors are from epic and old illustrations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m_r_parker Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Seriosluy - why hasn't that been posted before?!?!?!?! Love that, exactly what I was expecting the IF Contemptor to look like. There's only one thing stopping me from starting a very large 30k IF force, and that's some MkIII IF Shoulder Pads. When those eventually come out I'm expecting to lay out some serious cash on lots of new resin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Hands Fanatic Posted September 11, 2014 Author Share Posted September 11, 2014 The reason I haven't posted it previously is because it only just escaped into the depths of the internet. It's originally from some FB post, whilst it was completely missed by the blogs covering the event - likely because at first glance, it's pretty similar to the Relic Contemptor.

Daemon2027 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Would make a nice Iron Hand dead. Can finish off my talon leaving the Iron Warrior to be a mortis dread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Hands Fanatic Posted September 11, 2014 Author Share Posted September 11, 2014 Have you considered mixing parts of the Iron Hands & Death Guard Contemptor models? I think mixing the mechanical detail of the IH one with the DG version's brutal appearance would be really cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemon2027 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 That could work. That was another dread on my list. May fit better then the clean Imperial Fist one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuskRaider Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I'm willing to bet the Legionless Astartes is a Knights Errant. At this point in the storyline, Malcador would have already begun assembling the Errant with Garro at the helm. I'm really excited to see what FW has in store for Dark Mechanicum. I can't imagine they'll have Thallax as Troops, unless it's a Traitor element of Ordo Reductor. Should be interesting to see how they represent the force, as at this point I don't think they'd have much, if any, Chaos influence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
