Legion Contemptor - What now?

[slitth]

I was wondering, now that FW is downgrading the Legion Contemptor to a chest and head kit.

What will you do to get that more unique look that the old Legion Contemptor.

Just live with the downgrade? sculpt it yourself? 3d printing? or shop at 3rd party?

 

Personally I am just waiting to see if they realize that people want a full kit and make a plastic frame. 

(Seriously you can put a lot of part on a frame. Just look here)

Spoiler

 Realistically will probably be forced to go 3rd party (as much as I hate that option)

I make press moulds of pretty much all cool detailing. I'll be adding GS details from the Alpha Legion Contemptor to the more plain contemptors, however I've been favouring decals a lot more recently.

Liber Daemonica has announced they will be releasing contemptor upgrade kits for different chapters/legions. They have done them previously for redemptor dreads, and while for my tastes some look a bit over the top even for 40k, they have some pretty good details and might be worth checking out.

Press moulds are the way to go! Here's my new Iron Hands Contemptor using press, GSW roller and beads:

There is a lot you can do for conversions of the plastic Contemptor.

 

Legion Symbols from Pop goes the Monkey, Etched Brass Details, etc.
