Horus Heresy: Contemptor Dreadnought Upgrades Inbound
Want to take your plastic Contemptor Dreadnought kits to the next level and rep your Legion? Check out these new upgrades.
If you were wondering what Games Workshop was going to do for the next wave of Horus Heresy upgrades now that all the Space Marine MK VI heads and shoulder kits are done now we know. It’s Dreadnought time!
“One of the enduring images of the Horus Heresy is Contemptor Dreadnoughts smashing their way through the front lines with contemptuous ease. These mighty war machines are clad in the colours and livery of their Legion – and you’ll soon be able to upgrade the awesome plastic Contemptor with sculpted heraldry of your choice.
First to release are resin torso-and-head upgrade sets for six Legions – the Sons of Horus, Imperial Fists, Dark Angels, Emperor’s Children, White Scars, and Iron Warriors.”
If you’re looking at those chest plates and thinking “hey, those aren’t new — those are the existing resin chests from Forge World!” You’re not far off but these chests are different. The resin Contemptor Dreadnought kits have been “rebuilt and retooled” to now fit with the current plastic Contemptor Dreadnought kit. So, if you have a plastic version, you can order these chests and more easily swap them out.
That said, this is also a bit of a warning:
“However, this does mean that the original resin Legion Contemptor Dreadnoughts – which have Legion-specific shoulders, legs, and other details – are not long for this world. They’ll soon be marked as Last Chance to Buy, and after that will disappear for good, so if you want one before the upgrade set becomes available, you’ll need to order it soon.”
So if you want to the original version of these Contemptor Dreadnoughts with the full resin upgrades and details (including their legion specific shoulders, legs, and other extras) you might want to move quick.
