Pay day is Wednesday next week. Should be enough time to practise the puppy eyes on the better half.

I can kinda accept the soda machine versions in 'long range' configurations, but for cc, this dread looks soooooooooooo much more believable and agile...

Kinda wishing I didnt have 4 furiosos waiting for paint lol...

I kind of like the open spaces. After all, it goes back to the height of the Imperium, when Dreadnought suits could still be built enmasse, and thus likely weren't as revered as they are 10,000 years later. Plus, lots of room for freehand and other hobby goodness.

The new legs remind me of Gundam and the red model of Char Aznable aka the Red Comet.

love it!

I have one oop chucky dread and will use the rules for that on it I also want 4 more of the fw version when they make an assault cannon and plasma cannon arms I get to build Bjorn MkIII.

I know I am probably just being greedy, but how long do you all think before there is a wider array of weapons available or allowed? I mean even conversions, since I read the rules already.

i would loooove to put an ork nob in there. mekadread hahahaha.

Chaos demands one of these...

Chaos may have them.

No seriously take one, we'll see about getting you one that's all chaosy by IA 12, Personally I like the idea better of taking this model and taking chaos items onto it, then again I'm a conversion nut, who'd rather buy one box of possessed and 4 boxes of normal marines and work that into 50 chaos marines.

Are you meaning the actual weapons for the model or rules for them?

The 'actual weapons' for the model will likely be made available in the course of the next few months. I've got an inkling the Contemptor is going to be the first of several new models that we'll see in the next "Imperial Armour: Apocalypse" volume(which would be #3) and likely accompany the new Dark Eldar vehicle, Crassus, the Craftworld Eldar stuff, etc as being part of the 'standalone' availability of it which FW seems to be doing lately.

one word BESTMODELEVER. Who ever designed this should get a raise.

He also designed the reaver titan, the ork warboss on bike and the eldar cobra gravtank.

one golden work after another

Screw you GW ! uve made me buy something of you ! :(

Sorry to bump this thread back up but I didn't notice mentionin the discussion.

When this beast was released the torso was priced at 45 pounds.

They currently have it up for 30 pounds.

I suppose that was a typo!

Now it's back on the purchasing block! I wish I hadn't spent all my B-day money already.

I suspect that they priced it as shown which would include the lascannon arm and DCCW.. which comes to exactly the price you quoted of 45 pounds. As a side note for all you brits out there in dakkaland, how do you get the squiggly "L" symbol for GBP on a standard keyboard? I remember when I was taking German in high school you could get umlauts over letters with combos like alt-276 and such.

I assumed it took the place of the $ on their keyboards.
