So I want start fielding a chaos Contemptor dreadnought but I cannot stand the loyalist model. Now I realize i could just by it and convert from there but I was thinking of trying to scale up a helbrute or scale down a decimator.
Or use something else that I am not even thinking of...

So I would like to hear your ideas or conversions if anyone has any on ideas for the Contemptor, to build out of a Helbrute or another model that will be about the right size and look appropriate. (i don't mind buying the FW guns if needed)
and I am aiming for a Nurgle and or Tzeentch conversion ideas.

Thank you!!

PS: once I get underway I will post awesome pictures! (I hope)

Scaling up a hellbrute wouldn't be very hard at all if you cute out the fleshy middle part of the torso and lenghtened that. Then cute out the fleshy bits of the legs and make them longer and thicker. And youd definetly have to give it new arms get rid of that little stubby multi melta.

Hope this has helped.

Also I will probably end up trying this to as it gives me a reason to get another hellbrute.

Also here is a size comparison of the contemptor compared to normal dreadnauts and dreadknight
