The Ultramraine’s surprise unit from Forge World is now available. Check out the latest dreadnought model for the Emperor’s finest!
Forge World’s newly previewed Ultramarines Contemptor is now available. This preview hit us by surprise about a week back when they got this awesome walker. Take a closer look at what just came off of pre-order!
Ultramarines Contemptor (Armless) $59
This 18-part resin kit makes one Ultramarines Legion Contemptor Dreadnought and comes with supplied with a 60mm Citadel round base. Rules for the Ultramarines Legion Contemptor Dreadnought can be found in The Horus Heresy – Legiones Astartes: Age of Darkness Army List. Ultramarines Legion special rules are available in The Horus Heresy Book 5 – Tempest.
Please note that the Contemptor Dreadnought arms pictured are not supplied – the kit is compatible with all Contemptor Dreadnought arm options, which are available separately.
All things considered, this is just like any old Contemptor. However, if you want to show off your legion’s insignias and add more depth to your army, this is an awesome way to do it. Overall, Contemptors are great in both 30k and 40k. If you do decide to go in on this unit, be sure to buy two weapons for it as well. Future-proof your models by magnetizing them at the joints!
What’s the best loadout for the Contemptor? Do you prefer to walk them up the board or send them in by deepstriking?
