Horus Heresy: Contemptor Dreadnought’s New Kit Is Highly Posable
The Contemptor Dreadnought is getting a new Plastic Kit and it’s got more weapons and moore posability than ever before.
We saw the awesome new contents of the boxed set yesterday and GW teased more info on the Contemptor Dreadnought today. Now it’s time to take a closer look at the new plastic kit.
“Having loads more weapons options is one thing, but perhaps the greatest triumph of the new kit is in its posability. The Contemptor Dreadnought has been cunningly constructed with full ball-and-socket joints at the hips and ankles, as well as half-ball joints at the waist and chest. Combined with the optional flat or bent toe components, and the rotating assembly joints and separate armour plates at the knees and elbows, there is ample opportunity for a really dynamic pose without the need for a complex conversion.”
Contemptor Dreadnought’s New Kit
The new joints will allow hobbyists to do some cool and incredible new modeling projects with the Contemptor. We’re looking forward to seeing what the community does with them from a pose and diorama perspective. Furthermore, we’re also looking forward to all the amazing paint jobs that are sure to pop-up.
With all those flat surfaces we’re sure folks are going to go nuts with freehand work. It’s also Legion agnostic so you can paint this Contemptor us for whatever Legion you’ve decided to join.
Weapon-wise the new kit is also packing lots of options for weapons. According to GW:
“The Contemptor’s right arm can take ballistic weapons in the form of a bolt cannon or autocannon, or a tank-busting melta cannon or lascannon. Meanwhile, the mighty left-hand power fist can be equipped with a built-in combi-bolter, heavy flamer, plasma blaster, or meltagun. And if you fancy adding some high explosives to your walking arsenal, you can even outfit your Contemptor with a carapace-mounted havoc launcher!”
Lots of good options there for taking out your fellow Space Marines! Teach those Traitors/Loyalists who’s boss!
