Why Choose It
This dreadnought is not just a unit — it’s a centerpiece. Whether you're building a 30k-era force, a display piece, or a diorama, the Contemptor Dreadnought provides excellent visual impact and gaming utility.
Modeling Tips
- Wash your plastic or resin parts in warm water before assembly to remove mold release.
- Use a primer suited for detailed miniatures — grey or black works well.
- Dry brush metallic highlights to bring out the heavy armour texture.
- Add weathering effects (rust, dust) to reflect its combat-worn history.
Recommended for: tabletop gamers, hobby modellers, Horus Heresy collectors, and those who love large-scale miniatures.
