Dantay VI Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Heads look alright, a bit sad they are all identical though. As for the contemptor... Looks like it is sporting Khorne bunny ears and the scarab on the chest looks a bit... rushed.

Fire Golem Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 I really like the Contemptor, a lot. And the heads are better than the other TS ones.

Kizzdougs Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 The helmets look pretty good, and I think they'll look even better with the face plates painted gold instead of red. The Contemptor... is definitely my least favourite so far... The legs are ok, but the chest detail and the 'ears' look terrible. The details look really rushed and don't live up to the quality of the previously released Legion specific Contemptors.

grand_master85 Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 I quite like it. Tbh, I think a nice and gritty half-decent paint job would help. I'm really not a fan of shiny marines as is. The helmets are indeed lovely, have to concur Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/321246-fw-new-releases-8416-thousand-sons/#findComment-4358254 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athrawes Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 I'm ambivalent about the Dreadnought. I think it's alright, but I know it could have been so much better. As it is, I'll probably build one stock. The other though, i want to convert to look more like this: http://i1088.photobucket.com/albums/i327/nickfayette1/12963627_1090631954331466_4034668359050861198_n.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/321246-fw-new-releases-8416-thousand-sons/#findComment-4358257 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemon2027 Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Not bad but not making me want to purchase. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/321246-fw-new-releases-8416-thousand-sons/#findComment-4358272 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Pheidias Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Fingers crossed that this'll push my TS-fanboi-friend over the edge :lol:I actually really like the contemptor, the body-details suit the Thousand Sons Aesthetic very well if you ask me!

Ion Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 I'm rather underwhelmed with the Contemptor personally, it seems quite amateurish compared to some of the really awesome ones for other legions. The sculpting on the chest in particular is very simplistic and not in a good way in my opinion. The only contemptor that isn't better for me is the Raven Guard one. I look forward to seeing what Athrawes does because I'm sure it will be far more fitting. The helmets are rather nice and I like the idea of them putting out more unique legion-specific variants of armour. Would have been cool to have torsos like the praetor set the UM get.

depthcharge12 Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 31 pounds for shoulders and helmets? :O Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/321246-fw-new-releases-8416-thousand-sons/#findComment-4358336 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 31 pounds for shoulders and helmets? :O It's the same price as the rest of the HH range. Nothing new there to be shocked about.

Charlo Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 I quite like it. Tbh, I think a nice and gritty half-decent paint job would help. I'm really not a fan of shiny marines as is. The helmets are indeed lovely, have to concur Toooootally agree. That scheme looks incredible on the marines as they have lots of small detail and it's shaded well. On the Contemptor however, it makes it look like a toy. Unpainted it looks quite nice though - you should get one for your shattered legions and paint it up all gritty ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/321246-fw-new-releases-8416-thousand-sons/#findComment-4358342 Share on other sites More sharing options...
grand_master85 Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 @Charlo - I may have already pre-ordered one to stand beside my Iron Warriors Contemptor ;-) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/321246-fw-new-releases-8416-thousand-sons/#findComment-4358417 Share on other sites More sharing options...
