Hullo Dakka!
Here is my SW Contemptor Dreadnought.

I think the cyclonelaunchers official placement has a quite unheroic effect on the poor Dreadnought.
Instead I used a missile launcher from a landspeeder. I think it turned out quite well.
I also realise now the base is not to impressive...
Thoughts and critique appreciated.

I Like it! Good job there.

Love the missiles, and the paint job for that matter. Good work.

Reminds me of a Battlemech. The old Warhammer model mounted it's missiles like that.

It's got the look of "what's that? Who cares, shot it to gak."

Good paint job, I like the effects you have with the metals. I like the addition of the missiles and they look like they are a proper part of the model. They look good.

...or a Hellbringer: their launchers have the same orientation.

I really like this Contemptor, the colour scheme (particularly the head), the carbon scoring on the assault cannon and the addition of the alternate launcher make it special. If you would like some advice, I would suggest you add some more shading and highlighting to the chest-eagle. It just looks a little flat and I know those browns/copper metallics can be painted with great depth.

Well done!
