SM1981 Posted December 6, 2015 Author Share Posted December 6, 2015 Exactly right - good knowledge there! I magnetised the arms though to allow for rotation. There are a couple of conversions that I'm playing with (power sword and shiled, frag cannon and talons), and also a double assault cannon and missile launcher load out I want. Buying 4 bodies though is a bit much, so I bought 1 and a whole bunch of arms, and then a bag of magnets. Much more economical! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM1981 Posted December 6, 2015 Author Share Posted December 6, 2015 He's like my contemptor, but reversed colours! VOLKITE (I think?) and Conversion beamer is pretty good actually, you get the option to snipe heavy armour far away, or clear out Hordes with Deflag + lazor blasts. PEW PEW, CHOOOOOM. http://i1380.photobucket.com/albums/ah177/nevscorner/Snapchat-4367573661326401141_zpsxgbeajor.jpg That HH era contemptor looks great! Did you add the studs yourself or were they part of the kit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LutherMax Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Yeah, we're quite limited! If we could I would do Mortis purely cos it looks SO BADASS. I do have a Deredeo now though to fill the shooty roll. As 81 has done I'll be magnetising the arms on my Contemptor - just in case ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM1981 Posted December 6, 2015 Author Share Posted December 6, 2015 Hence magnets. One body, multiple options, depending on if its on the TT or display shelf. (Power Sword and Storm Shield is also not a playable load out for Dreadnought either). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 For a second Jolemai I thought you meant my single Kheres wasn't available... When I specifically remember being like "dude, this is an allowed load out... Right?" :P And SM1981, the studs are all on the Kit, it's the Emperor's Children Contemptor from FW! It looks really BA doesn't it! Got it on eBay for a tasty discount. I got rid of all of the talons from the wings with a knife. Only Legion iconography is the III on the legs, but I just blag that's company markings :P It's also a 40k dread ;) but I'll no doubt use it in 30k when BA sort it out and release in full.

SM1981 Posted December 6, 2015 Author Share Posted December 6, 2015 The model is so big (tall), that anything small just looked too small. So I went big. And then went bigger! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just remember that Blood Angels Contemptors can't take dual Kheres nor a missile launcher... That´s the reason i allied yesterday one dual kheres Contemptor in. 12 S6 Rending shots ware nice. Sadly i fought against decurion necrons and did only a few casaulties. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bukimimaru Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Wait, hold on a sec. I am JUST about to convert a Contemptor Mortis Dread with a pair of assault Cannons out of two Betrayal at Calth sets. Is this not legal? :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can in 30k I believe. Magnetise, magnetise, magnetise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bukimimaru Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Oh, thats fine then. My Calth sets will be exclusivly for 30k use. I already have more than enough 40k units to play with. Phew! *goes back to mutilating Contemptor arms* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phew! *goes back to mutilating Contemptor arms* You might want to double check - I believe they are okay for us in 30k but I don't know that much about 30k. My understanding is all Legions have access to the same stuff but I might be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 They are fine in 30k, althougth this could all change with the release of the next HH book which will contain the IX Legion's rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bukimimaru Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Ok, thanks for the heads up guys. :) Worst case scenario it becomes a bad ass model for my display shelf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM1981 Posted December 7, 2015 Author Share Posted December 7, 2015 On the note of allies... What's the ruling on allying in Mortis Dreads, Contemptors with Dual Assault Cannons, Centurions, etc from another un-named space marine chapter who also happen to wear a lot of red, black, and gold armour. Assuming you don't put squad / company / chapter markings on the models is that in theory cool? Or is it a little bit too cheeky to fly? Also would fielding these models as allies then open you up to using other generic space marine formations, or am I hoping for too much there?

Jolemai Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 A lot of folk run "red marines", which permits them to run whatever they wish. Unless your group/club/store/tournament has a problem with it (and it's always worth checking first), you're well within your rights to run a single coloured army comprising of many different Factions. Just make sure your opponent is aware of what's what! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
