Here's a Contemptor-Deredeo hybrid. This one was tougher to match up. I'm not sure the Contemptor torso will match up to the Deredeo weapons but then, I've never assembled a Contemptor before.

It's been nagging at me what else this reminds me of... apart from the weaponised M&M!

It looks like a seriously upgunned UrbanMech!!!

What the hell is THAT:

New bulletin 43 sneak:

Word bearers, something. Love the bio-mechanical look. Very old skool chaos. See GW - you don't need skulls and spikes to make it menacing. THIS is how you do Chaos!

FORGE WORLD BULLETIN 43

Despite it only being the start of January, the Forge World Studio is starting to get into gear for February’s Horus Heresy Weekender. It seems like a long time away, but it takes a lot of work behind the scenes to put on such an awesome event. Taking a ramble through the Forge World Studio last week, I came across something pretty cool being worked on. I don’t know much about this twisted monstrosity yet, but I’m sure we’ll find out more soon, maybe in time for the Weekender…

Something ferocious spotted stalking through the Forge World Studio.

Over the years, the designers in the Forge World Studio have worked on a whole range of armies of their own. Mark Bedford’s Chaos Space Marines force uses plenty of Forge World units and upgrade kits. His World Eaters Terminators and World Eaters Space Marines are led by Zhufor, the Khornate Lord in Terminator armour. They’re supported by a hulking Decimator and a Contemptor Dreadnought that Mark converted using Etched Brass symbols, and he even replaced the fingers of its fist with the chainblades from a set of bolters! Mark has also added a unit of Renegade Ogryn Berserkers as part of a Renegades and Heretics allied detachment from Imperial Armour Volume Thirteen.

Mark’s Chaos force advances into battle.

That’s all from me for now. Make sure you check back soon for more from the Forge World Studio.
Chris.

It's yet another contemptor by the looks of it, the legs look like dreadnought legs and the body has the same shape. Might even be a kind of Gal Vorbak contemptor?

**UNCLEBADTOUCH**

Looks like a mutated contemptor chassis. I suppose we should be moving into the greater influence of chaos phase of the storyline.

Looks sexy though.

**madmitch411**

Sweet mother of Khorne, that is an amazing sculpt!

**prowla**

Now that's sweet. How about a Gal Vorbak Deredeo?

**MajorStoffer**

Just when I thought they couldn't do another contemptor.....

Admittedly, this is probably going to be an early kind of possessed/daemon vehicle which we'll see more of as the FW plotline advances, probably for the upcoming Calth book.

**H.B.M.C.**

Death Guard Plague Contemptor no doubt.

Nah it's a Word Bearers one, it has all the runes which their models have.

**Sidstyler**

Yeah, I'm not so sure that's Death Guard. Doesn't look very "plague-y", more like it's just possessed with a bunch of daemonic runes on it.

**Kosake**

I wonder what legion-specific kits they'll start making once they are definitely done with dreads.

They still haven't finished the tank doors and stuff, that's quite an easy way to make legion specific vehicles. Dunno what else there is really... Death Guard have their own Cataphractii shoulders, maybe more of them. I still think they should bring out shoulder pads and upgrade kits for the legions that haven't been featured yet.

**Malika2**

Legion specific Cataphractii and Tartaros bits, vehicle parts, MkVI components, banners, commanders, etc. Heck, they might even finally bring out those Primarch helmets they once hinted at!

**Q0rbin**

Of course it's word bearers, with all those markings and mutations and the seals on the fist.

**ImAGeek**

You can even see a book on the shoulder being held open by little daemon arms.

**Johnson101**

Looks like they have finally made some form of chaos Contemptor Dreadnought and it looks awesome!

**H.B.M.C.**

Looking at it again you might be right actually. Possessed Contemptor then.

**sockwithaticket**

It does basically look like an oversized Gal Vorbak, definitely Wotrd Bearers. That's before you remember that the Calth book is next up.

Am getting quite bored of Contemptors now, though, no matter how well executed they are.

**Kirasu**

Yay more contemptors! I was worried we wouldn't have enough

**perrsyu**

I do believe the newest Dreadnought seems awesome! Excellent throwback towards the aged RT Dreadnoughts. I do not get every one of the detest.

**Looky Likey**

Hopefully we won't have to wait for all nine versions of the chaos contemptor to launch before we see the rest of the chaos engines they have planned. I also hope that they have some really different rules around it rather than the bog standard chaos versions of dreadnaughts.

Forgeworld may give it some nice rules, if it was GW it would have a random chart where every option nerds the model more.

Roll a d6
1 model gains fear
2 model gains furious charge and slow and purposeful
3model must shoot at closet model within range, if no model is within range it punches itself
4 model is overcome by the deamon within it and changes into a chaos spawn, replace with suitable model, if none available, then remove from game (opponent gets victory points as if he destroyed it)
5 model changes base size, change base to 20mm square base, counts as infantry but cannot transported in any vehicle.
6 champion of the gods, model is swept up by the power of the chaos gods and is removed from play

The new Kindle 40k - Chaos edition comes with it's own demonic bookstand that is adaptable to any surfaces and can be installed in any dark temple, sinister altar or despoiled command bridge. It can also be used as a mobile adapter for any common STC cockpits and with it's warp power supply it has almost infinite runtime and will get free updates wherever a warp-rift can be found*

*rift size must support demonic incursion, in all areas not covered an aditional fe of 666 souls per hour is required for any demonic litanies, chaotic chants or sacrificial sermons.

Just had a funny thought, maybe the reason so many people fall to chaos is they just do really really good advertising campaigns.

Well, the typical IoM citizen has two options: obey the rules of an opressive regime that can do whatever they want as long as they meet the levies imposed on them by an even crueler and more distant regime that does not even know in what segmentum your planet is. Live in toil and misery and/or die at the front lines of some campaign fought on a planet you don't even know in which segmentum it is, fighting against superhuman aliens and monsters.

OR: Do whatever you feel like doing, be it sorcery, copious amounts of fornication and drugs, fun times with toxins or just plain old manslaughter.
Doesn't need much of advertising, especially that last one with us humans...

But they have the Emperor!

**Desubot**

It could be that imperial armor book dread that ASPLODS into a daemon prince if you roll like a 6 IIRC.

I guess but the runes almost definitely make it a Word Bearer dread.

**angelofvengeance**

Definitely says Word Bearers 'naught to me.
