Horus Heresy - Second Contemptor assembled


I've finally had a chance to assemble the second Contemptor Dread for my Death Guard. This one is carrying a multi-melta and dreadnought close combat weapon (with heavy flamer). I wanted to give this  guy a proper hunched feel, as though he's being very precise with his shot placement.

Hope you like him : )

Cheers
Dave

    I hate being negative about people's hard work, but the squat looks a bit too extreme like he's about to sit.

      Thanks Ambit for your comment. I've taken a closer look at the model, and I feel the "center of gravity" of the model is still over the feet, but I can certainly see how one or two of the camera angles might give the impression otherwise.

      Cheers

      I love you man, but that pose looks like he is constipated. Someone had to speak up. ;)

      Multi-melta to the face John, that's what you'll get! ; )

      He's even got a pile of rubble right behind him!

      Good thing I am putting dozers on my rhinos.

    I love the pose and think its perfect - it's dynamic in a defensive manner... Perfect for an ancient and wise Contemptor.

    He looks like he has to poop. For Nurgle!

      Alberto, I'm also looking forward to getting them finished. I do have a few other Mechanicum projects I'd like to tackle : )

    I like it! I find there's always a couple angles that end up looking goofy on the Contemptors, I think it has a great solid heavy look very suitable for the Death Guard. Can't wait to see it painted up!

    I like the pose. To me, it has a "duck, fire, dodge" feel. Seems like his next action after firing will be to pivot in the opposite direction to take on the enemy coming from that angle.

    Of course, I've never been a fan of the "standing tall" pose a lot of folks use for their Contemptors, so my opinion is probably biased.
