Olis Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 So then, this is my very first WIP blog and I thought I'd start it off with something relatively attention grabbing. Basically, it's the FW Contemptor dread. I'm pretty happy with the casting (no warping or unsightly bubbles as far as I can tell) and the model itself looks very posable. :D Anyhoo, here it is unboxed, on the table. Unbagged, in all it's unassembled glory. The gun bitz for the power fist. Four feet. Wait, what? Four? :sweat: Also note the twin-linked Lascannons are straight as a die. :P And the torso. Now then, I'm waiting on some magnets so I can't add it's arms yet but the rest of it should be ripe for spending some time on so I'll have a crack at the legs and torso later today. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafen_2 Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 I've seen you commenting on everyone else's stuff so it will be fun to return the favor! :( Anyway hope you enjoy the kit and let me guess Storm Wardens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted July 18, 2011 Author Share Posted July 18, 2011 Thanks brothers. :( I've seen you commenting on everyone else's stuff so it will be fun to return the favor! :( Anyway hope you enjoy the kit and let me guess Storm Wardens? I'd been toying with the idea of what chapter to make him and I have been eyeing up my bitz collected for my crusade army. Storm Warden Contemptor, hmm? Why not. It's about time I did some Wardens, I think. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Sensei Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Four feet. Wait, what? Four? Twin linked Kick-ass of course ! Awesome stuff... Mine won't be long to come I guess, I just regret they made it so tall, I'd have prefered a classical size to buildt classical dread suit... Might be workable I guess.

Olis Posted July 18, 2011 Author Share Posted July 18, 2011 Preliminary update: It's bad news - my superglue has congealed in it's pot. I knew it had been getting a little thicker recently but when I tried to get the aplicator brush out of the pot most of the congealed, sticky irritant came with it. ;) Bah. I'll get more tomorrow. Until then I'll have make do with prep and planning the positioning of the legs (I want one raised, resting on a corpse or a rock or something).

Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 I'm disappointed. You didn't show us a picture of the box with your name and address on it like the other guy did. :D It looks excellent. Did you get it from the China factory? Check where it was routed through.

Olis Posted July 18, 2011 Author Share Posted July 18, 2011 @NightHunters - Hold your horses, the local co-op had UHU all-purpose or nothing. Believe me; all-purpose doesn't work! :D @Khargan - It was on pre-order. That's why I got it a little early. :D @Doghouse - No problemo, dude. @Ignis - Ha. I'm like Jack Sparrow, me. Savvy. I thought about that before I started. :) As to the shipping I think it wasn't, but I'm not sure. How do I check? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 If it's routed through Sweden or Switzerland, one of the Sw countries, it's a china one. The molds are newer there so they look better. Plus they have nicer quality control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
