Here is an Alpha Legion Contemptor Dreadnought that I built.

He looks a bit static and possibly leaning backwards a bit unless that's the camera angle.
There's loads of posability with that kit.
If you can get him apart I'd suggest having another go at injecting a bit of life into him.

I used Krazy Glue to assemble the parts so I will use Acetone Or Nail Polish Remover to loosen everything up again to re-do the pose.

I have a second Alpha Legion Contemptor coming in the mail. I will have chance to make a more interesting looking dreadnought if I decide to leave the first Alpha Legion Contemptor as it stands.

Yesterday, I received the first main body. I had the arms already and was waiting for the body to arrive. When I got the body I got impatient and started cleaning the flash off the parts and then tried gluing the whole model together without washing off the mold press grease. So I had a terrible time trying to put the model together. Then finally at the end of the day I soaked all the parts in water.

Then when I woke up at about 3:00 AM or 4:00 AM the parts were all dry and I started building the model. I was not really thinking at all about the pose, I just wanted to have a small Alpha Legion Contemptor Dreadnought standing in front of Me waving around a Plasma Cannon.

I also had some trouble with Krazy Glue, when the water and the glue met, a film appeared on parts of the model and I am still needing to clean all of that off. I should probably wash the fully assembled model one more time in warm to hot water before I bring it before the Air Brush Spray Prime.

Krazy glue isn't really the greatest of adhesives to be using on those expensive forgeworld models. I'd recommend one of the gel varieties of loctite.

Also isopropanol will loosen it up without any residue, lingering smell, or damage to the resin. Soak over night and you should be able to wiggle everything free
