Blood Angels are bringing the pain with a new flying Dreadnought model in the Horus Heresy. It’s just become available online so put those orders in!
Forge World updated their webstore once again with new support for the Blood Angels. Check out the details on this new Contemptor and grab one while supplies last.-Forge World has a tendency to sell out very quickly these days…
Blood Angels Contemptor Incaendius-Class Dreadnought $98
This multipart highly detailed resin kit makes one Blood Angels Legion Contemptor-Incaendius Class Dreadnought and comes supplied with one 60mm Citadel round base. It comes armed with two Talons of Perdition, each with an in-built iliastus pattern assault cannon and is also fully compatible with the full range of Forge World Contemptor weapon arms. Rules for fielding the Blood Angels Legion Contemptor-Incaendius Class Dreadnought can be found in The Horus Heresy Book Eight: Malevolence.
There’s really nothing much cooler than a once-considered dead battle brother getting a new life in a Contemptor with a jump pack. However, of all the Legions that exist, it would only make sense that Blood Angels would be the pioneers here. While this Contemptor has a jump pack, it behaves differently from normal jump packs on smaller Infantry units. This just lets you enter from low orbit (deepstrike), or make a one-time-use leap up the board. After that, it falls off and you become a normal melee Dreadnought.
What’s the right tactic to play with this guy? Do you shoot him up the board quick or save it until the enemy comes extremely close and get a guaranteed charge?
