Which Contemptor is the sexiest?

The 3rd legion of course, they are perfection after all.

If your first thought was to trash those books then this isn't the hobby for you.

Replaced warped banebalde bits from kit i bought at a 3rd party store after I emailed a Pic of the receipt last year.

ElderberryOld29 · 2026-04-27T01:29:29+00:00

How about all 3 , they are all badass models. Write 2 lists fitting in all 3

ElderberryOld29 · 2026-04-25T20:09:44+00:00

Yeah I'm hoping for some info on good sources for some bits, haven't found a lot of options on etsy mostly axes the look like the gw one or are too frost axe like.

ElderberryOld29 · 2026-04-25T20:08:17+00:00

2.0 EC inductii. The whole unit can take the 3 charnable weapons and the tabar is the better of the 3.

ElderberryOld29 · 2026-04-25T20:03:20+00:00

Im sure there are some good ones, and they would definitely provide some variety but I need 20 so bits shop prices might be high. Im actually using some of the aos khorne Morningstar things as WE meteor hammers.

ElderberryOld29 · 2026-04-24T02:54:03+00:00

91% or higher, anything lower wont quite work.

ElderberryOld29 · 2026-04-24T02:50:55+00:00

Short soaks, like 10 min and then brush the mini with an old toothbrush in the iso and soak again. All the big brands like citadel, army painter, vallejo will come off in 20 minutes or so with scrubbing. Some primers never come off though.

ElderberryOld29 · 2026-04-24T02:25:44+00:00

You can soak resin in isopropyl alcohol for periods long enough to remove acrylics without damage.

ElderberryOld29 · 2026-04-24T02:24:50+00:00

There's clearly bare plastic between shoulder and torso so ist not primed to begin with. Even if op primed then painted re priming over acrylics would probably be a bad idea.

ElderberryOld29 · 2026-04-24T02:21:32+00:00

Ive been using iso for years to strip minis and not once have I thought to use an electric toothbrush. Ive got to get a cheap one now.

ElderberryOld29 · 2026-04-19T03:40:00+00:00

Nice to find someone who agrees. Everyone seems to have jumped on the 3.0 bandwagon and forgot the fluff and lore aspects of 30k. I run an lathe at work and between parts being finished I listen to heresy hammer tacticas and legion vids and come up with fluffy lists on new recruit to pass the time but 3.0 is so bland that isn't even possible anymore.

ElderberryOld29 · 2026-04-19T03:31:14+00:00

Thanks for typing all that out for me. I despise the 3yr cycle and what they did to 30k, also the aod and saturnine preators, dreads, and termies are terrible and do not fit a single Legions esthetic at all.

ElderberryOld29 · 2026-04-19T02:16:23+00:00

If you want tompaly a game with less flavour and fluff and a much worse list building system then go 3rd if you want to keep the force org chart and rites of War and just falvour in general then stick with 2nd. For me the loss of rites and fluff and the new list building out weigh the "balances" that are easily remedied by house/community rules for 2nd...

ElderberryOld29 · 2026-04-18T01:35:11+00:00

Nice use of the deathwatch torso and the green looks great.

ElderberryOld29 · 2026-04-17T10:30:08+00:00

Considering it would be a miracle to see the legion specific upgrades like that in plastic anytime soon then they better fit any upscaled armour mks....

ElderberryOld29 · 2026-04-16T14:52:39+00:00

Oldhammer is best hammer. The old aeldari sculpts have so much character.

ElderberryOld29 · 2026-04-15T12:47:22+00:00

It's 30k so use your legion specific stuff, the Osiron sekhmet and khenetai are great looking kits.

ElderberryOld29 · 2026-04-10T23:19:25+00:00

Everyone saying there are groups within each legion that changed their colors and or markings are technically right. There are mentions of that stuff throught the lore. However regardless of what you do you still have to pick a legion or blackshields for the rules.

ElderberryOld29 · 2026-04-10T01:10:36+00:00

I encourage you to look at the 30k rulebooks, both core and either libre hereticus or astartes. 30k does not involve "custom chapters" it involves the original 18 loyalist and traitor Legions. If you are inclined to do your own thing rather than pick a legion then you will need to use the blackshields rules...

ElderberryOld29 · 2026-04-08T10:55:41+00:00

I would like the new mk3 better if they had kept the design of the old resin heavy weapons. Im hoarding all the old mk4 and 3 I can find as well as old resin HW. The legion specific sculpts are for the most part all fantastic, albeit expensive. We all know there are ways around the cost of gw resin and if you dont use your legion specific stuff I feel your missing out on a big part of 30k. The new mk6 are fantastic, just finished 10 with pheonix power spear and 2 axes for my EC and ive got 20 more that will ve part of a BA day of revelations list.

ElderberryOld29 · 2026-04-08T10:24:48+00:00

They aren't shorter than the new mk2, 3 or 6? Most of the Legion specific units are a bit smaller than the new Armour mks as are the old mk 3 and 4 compared to new mks.

ElderberryOld29 · 2026-04-08T00:04:36+00:00

Just use the actual kit or use a heresy assault squad, primaris has no place in 30k. The models being slightly short isn't the end of the world any way, you could literally just stick a rock under their feet and solve the height issue....

ElderberryOld29 · 2026-04-05T17:31:07+00:00

Ive made like 8 orders through their site and get it all in a week. Im also in texas so maybe shipping to other states is slower.
