Horus Heresy: Legiones Astartes Contemptor Dreadnought

Perhaps the most advanced Dreadnought engine in the arsenal of the Great Crusade, the Contemptor Dreadnought fuses traditional technologies with arcane cybernetic lore. A powerful atomantic reactor fuels the Dreadnought's impressive speed and strength, while also supplying the defensive energy fields that further increase its battlefield durability. Equipped with a versatile armoury of weapons that allow it to serve as a mobile heavy weapons platform, assault powerhouse, or versatile linebreaker, the Contemptor has found a place within every Legion, no matter their preferred tactics.<br /><br />This multipart plastic kit builds one Contemptor Dreadnought, an impressive combat walker with an absolute trove of weapon options. The kit provides eight different ranged weapons to choose from – a conversion beam cannon, Gravis autocannon, Gravis bolt cannon, Gravis lascannon, Gravis melta cannon, Gravis plasma cannon, Kheres assault cannon, and volkite dual-culverin – each of which can be mounted on either of the Contemptor's arms. The kit also includes two melee fists, each of which can be built as either a Gravis power fist or Gravis chainfist, and sports your choice of in-built weapon – a combi-bolter, graviton gun, heavy flamer, meltagun, or plasma blaster. The model can even be built with a hull-mounted havoc launcher or head-mounted helical targeting array.<br /><br />You’ll also find a variety of alternate components and cosmetic options, including two heads, four different carapace designs, a choice of claws or fingers for the power fists, and scrollwork and tilting shield accessories. The model's joints, head, and power fist digits can all be assembled to offer a wide range of poses, ensuring that no two Contemptors look quite the same.<br /><br />This kit comprises 164 plastic components and is supplied with a Citadel 60mm Round Base, as well as a Legiones Astartes Vehicle Transfer Sheet containing 44 optional markings and icons for the Sons of Horus and Imperial
