I want a dreadnought with dual assault cannons and a cyclone missile launcher...

[eldargal]

I liked MR Bedfords joke in the seminar that they should produce a dreadnought with jump packs so people can have entire dreadnought armies.:rolleyes:

The contemptor is kind of cute, reminds me of my pet frog. Still at this rate there will be more SM dreadnoughts than xenos kits combined.

These are quite awesome; love the idea of a dreadnought with a conversion beamer - making that gun Relentless suddenly makes it unbelievably good. Of course, the idea of a Dreadnought constantly running away does seem a little counterintuitive, but it does work...

The twin-linked Heavy Bolters look awesome. I also like the slightly camp pose they've given to the Dreadnought with the right-hand Plasma Cannon...

[proeliator_legio]

I just love this model ordered one soon as it was up on the site, the quality of my cast was amazing not a single flaw, washed, filed like 3-4 mold lines and put it together. Also it comes with 2 sets of feet, which is nice them big old boots fit quite nice on my deamon prince :) The ball and joint sockets are great recess in a magnet here and there and my Contemptor has 2 point of articulation in the waist, 2 in each arm and the head of course. Can't wait for that Heavy Conversion Beamer, it will be awesome! Also can't wait to find out about this Gravaton Gun in the hand? They will most likely make chapter ones of chaos ones so im screwed and will have to buy them all. :D Im going to end up with a dozen by this time next year if they keep this up

[fuzzbuket]

wow i love the assault connon one :) (but i thought they didnt exist at the hersy?) and whilst the guns are a tad small and one shinguard has a smaller indent for the foot than the other its awsome :) !

They did exsist, but they where new tech :) (Or old... or whatever, but I am sure you get my meaning :L)

Why in Terra's name did the old Dreadnoughts have way better firepower than current Dreadnoughts? Not to mention a better overall design.

I believe it's because it's 40K. Everything was actually better before, take the MK4 Power Armour for example.
Also the conversion beam is an ancient weapon the Imperium is unable to produce today.

Indeed, although the Tomb Kings Khemrian Warsphinx/Necrosphinx (http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat570035a&prodId=prod1190053a) is pretty much a Wraithlord aspect conversion kit. You can make a Warsphinx, then the Necrosphinx parts include:

Scorpion head-crest and tail (self-explanatory), arm-blades for Warp Spider, big metal feathered wings for Swooping Hawk, lots of skeleton-y bits for Dark Reaper.

Contrary to what Mat Ward would have you believe, the Imperium's current tech is a bit rubbish compared to their older stuff. They've lost a lot of the knowledge etc., although as mentioned, Mat Ward would have you believe that they're constantly making shiny new things and making the Tau look slow.

[Tynskel]

Forge worlds are constantly making new shiny things. However, it takes hundreds, perhaps thousands of years for such tech to be approved and distributed. Just look at the razorback, for example. Some chapter still do not use it because they do not feel it hs been test rigorously enough.

"people can have entire dreadnought armies"

^_^ my idea of heaven. Also, that dual assault cannon + cyclone dread is a MUST BUY. I must buy as many of these awesome new dreads with as many weapon combos as possible. 5-6 Would be nice :P

[euansmith]

Human Tech was a lot better in the past - then Jervis Johnson killed the Squats and the humans no longer had anyone to fix their stuff - only the simplest and most robust equipment survives. But fear not, for the Golden Age will return - the Squats will rise again! Knee High! Knee High! Knee High! ;)

[Wolf-Tau]

All I see is more Shznet Resin I have to buy. My SW will never seam to be complete without it.

btw good work FW, very nice stuff. Now come out an FAQ so I can pull out my SW Stormraven.

[energongoodie]

Just rung Forge World about my missing contemptor shoulders. Turns out there was a bit of cunfusion witht he first batch and they weren't sure if they should be in with the body or the arms so some got sent out with none. They have now clarified that they come with the body.

I asked when the new arms would be up for pre-order and the fella said the end of next week. Can't decide what to get.
