Options, options, options. It’s what gamers want when putting together their figures and Games Workshop often delivers. Such is the case with their Contemptor Dreadnaught kit they’re showing off. This things got bits for days.
From the article:
You never know what you’re going to face on the battlefields of the Horus Heresy, so why not just strip the whole armoury on the way out and decide en route? The Contemptor Dreadnought was already laden with weapon options in the Age of Darkness boxed set, but soon it’s striking out on its own – and it’s bringing everything save the kitchen sink.
In addition to what its boxed-set cousin gets, this Contemptor packs four new main guns – a conversion beam cannon, a Kheres assault cannon, a volkite dual-culverin, and a gravis plasma cannon – and plenty of extra decorative options. That means, 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
No matter what your opponent throws at you, there’s a suitable weapon for the job, and some of them are classic favourites with a new lease of life.
