Thinking up some ideas for a contemptor conversion (the probably overused sword idea) however thinking of other options instead of the usual dreadknight sword one. Looking at the 1/144 model of the gouf custom for sword and possibly assault cannon. Even though the dual kheres looks cool I'm just weighing up my options at the moment.

Also asking for a comparison to the wraithlord cause I'm already able to check the sizes to get a general idea.


I'm guessing it's sort of between the two but want to have a better idea.

I have a contemptor on hand. I could give you exact measurements or compare it to a Wraithguard.

Either of those work just fine thanks.

Alright so while bulkier that brings it up to about the WL's shoulder in height, thanks

Also for loadouts would you suggest the dccw and assault cannon for versatility or just the straight 2x assault cannon with missiles?

Dual assault cannon for the contemptor. If you want a melee Dread the Codex Ironclad is better.

Thanks again

Not a problem! Always happy to help a fellow Ultramarine player out.

Isn't that a wraithguard model? If not, how did you convert that awesome d-scythe.

That is indeed a Wraithguard. Contemptors aren't much taller than the regular plastic Dreads.
