Am I the only one noticing... that the new shoulder pad and head from Sons of Horus (even Imperial Fist one) are... actually no more available on Forgeworld website?

I've preordered mine about a week before the release... and hav'nt even receive mine yet. I tried contact FW three times... no answer at all from them... Anyone here having the same issue?

I dunno about FW NONE of the new HH stuff is showing up on the GW website right now. which is a little... weird

Chaos Knights have also vanished.

I don't seem to be having that issue with either US site?

I would just really like FW to ship my MkIV upgrade parts that I preordered ahead of the release date... all my marines are assembled and ready for their bits.

It did happen briefly in the US (only thing up was dice), but seems to be back now. Maintenance or backend work, I would guess.

Also it looks like Lionel has a bigger TACTICAL ROCK than Roboute, which would help account for size difference.

The Lions model is scaled to match his ego and ambition.

So he's Imperator class titan sized???

So about 0.4 Fulgrims?

Full contemptor kit

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2022/06/23/heresy-thursday-you-thought-the-contemptor-dreadnought-was-awesome-check-out-its-new-options/

" inside just one box, you get:

One ultra-posable Contemptor Dreadnought chassis
Two heads, one of which can equip an optional helical targeting array
Four chestplate styles, with Loyalist and Traitor options
Two big old punchy hands, buildable as fists* or chainfists
Five different guns to go in those fists
Eight different arm-mounted guns, usable on the right or left side
A havoc missile launcher
Fetching shield and scroll details to smarten up your chassis"

Now that's a proper kit.

I had no idea the Praetor was so massive. I have the models on sprue and it didn't look that big.

It seems pretty daft that he looks so out of scale tbh.

He's probably not a lot smaller than a Primarch....

The FW Primarchs aren't in a consistent scale themselves. The early ones are a lot smaller than the more recent ones, irrespective of the relative in-universe size. Gulliman, Aurellian etc, quite small. Angron also smaller than fluff would dictate. Horus, who should be large, is smaller than Lion / Khan etc. Vulcan, canonically the largest, again smaller than all of the recent crop.

You see this is actually a common misconception. The lion is the best primarch so it stands to reason he is also the biggest.

And to think, some considered Gulliman a more worthy candidate for Warmaster than Johnson. Preposterous! You can see just by looking at them!

well lorewise virgin Robute has no chances in a duel against chad Lion, and now that we've seen the minins its easy to understand why.
thank you for the side by side photo.

So, are those weapons going to be available separately? Or is anyone buying one of the Legion specific Contemptors expected to buy one of these in order to get them (or two, if they want to double up on any of the guns)?

I really hope there is a 'Contemptor Weapon Sprue' but besides that the kit looks nice.

I know, right? I really want to buy one.

Shame I boycotting because of the CSM codex through.

I would doubt it, as half the options are on the main body sprue (Autocannon, Melta, Lascannon & Heavy Bolter). They might do a weapon sprue later with them all, so it's easier to double up.

The main question is, is it priced ok?

So far, f.e. the deimos rhino is cheaper over here than the old SM / CSM rhino, and has more options.
If that thing is priced well i can see getting another 1-2 for the single one in my boxset-

Redemptor is £42.50. They could maybe make this £35 if they're feeling generous? But even that would make it quite pricey compared to the AoD version.

The last one was £35, wasn't it?

Lorewise every primarch was able to beat any primarch.

Even if this kit is £42 (the same price as a FW body with no weapons), it's still a better deal than previously. You buy one plastic Contemptor and you get enough weapons to equip five. If you really don't want the body then sell it on or trade it, there will be plenty of people looking for one.

That sprue is almost entirely weapons, with only the shoulders as the only main body parts on it. Doesn't seem too far fetched for it to become available separately or for Forge World to bundle it with their resin Contemptors.

Sounds to me like the new Contemptor thing is just the AoD kit with an upgrade sprue

It's the full complement of options available to the unit, the AoD set had a more basic one.

So... I guess the upshot of this is 'don't assemble the box set one, buy this one and use the extra bits to make two good contemptors instead.'

I thought the exact same thing. There is just enough extra bits in the kit that you can use the spares to enhance your AoD box one as well.

My AoD box did actually ship today which was a nice surprise! Just in time for my first holiday segment starting next week.

They aren’t though? The weapons and arms are all on a separate sprue to the main body/armour.
The new sprue should contain a mix of three armour plates, one helmet, one fist, two chain sword fingers (assuming they go with the Forge World style middle finger chainfist) the new weapons and, hopefully, a second set of elbows. Oh and the helical targeting array gubbins.
So if they really wanted to they could sell a Contemptor upgrade set with the two weapon sprues but that seems incredibly unlikely.

I'm also curious if I can strip down and rebuild the Calth contemptor with the new weapons or even a chest plate.
Weapons should be easy, chest plates might be too much work (the models are already built).

Apologies if this is already well covered and I’ve just missed it?

The sponson sprue for the Kratos. How do the assembled Sponsons measure up to the Deimos Rhino?

As looking at it online, it’s Sprue S, but it would seem to cover the Deimos pattern Predator?

Weee, I painted a unit! For me it took a surprisingly short amount of time ^^
