No longer able to fight unaided, the still-living mortal remains of a Legions greatest warriors may be interred within a Contemptor Dreadnought to continue their service.

This Contemptor Dreadnought has been marked with the icons and insignia of the Thousand Sons Legion. It may be taken in Legiones Astartes armies in Horus Heresy games using the rules presented in The Horus Heresy Legiones Astartes: Crusade Army List.
Contemptor Dreadnoughts can also be taken as part of a Space Marines army in standard games of Warhammer 40,000, for which the rules can be found in Imperial Armour Volume Two ? War Machines of the Adeptus Astartes, Second Edition or in a Chaos Space Marines army, for which rules can be found in Imperial Armour Volume Thirteen War Machines of the Lost and the Damned.
The Thousand Sons Legion Contemptor Dreadnought is a complete multi-part resin kit ? weapon arms shown are not included and are available to purchase separately.
THOUSAND SONS ACHEAN PATTERN ARMOUR UPGRADE SET £31.50
Description
Whilst standard patterns of armour were shared across the Legiones Astartes, variations on these templates surfaced in most Legions. Achean pattern armour arose as a local variation of Mk IV ?Maximus? battle plate, produced for the Thousand Sons Legion by the forges local to Prospero.
More stylised than their standard armour, Achean pattern battle plate was most often worn by Legion veterans.
This set contains thirty resin components – everything you need to upgrade a ten man squad of Tactical Space Marines with the armour of your Legion, or to spread throughout your army. It includes; ten Thousand Sons Achean pattern Heads; and twenty Thousand Sons Achaen pattern Shoulder Pads made up of 10 left shoulder pads and 10 right shoulder pads.
Well there’s the newest release for #17 of 18 legions. Big question may be when will we see the Space Wolves! The truth is out there folks – Vlka Fenryka!
-I want to believe!
