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.
With Blood Angels getting one of the most unique Dreadnought units out there, will you be grabbing a couple for your list? Will you be using it to deepstrike or get a quick boost of speed before moving into combat?
