Salamanders Contemptor Dreadnought

Contemptor Dreadnoughts stride the battlefield as gods of war, each an indomitable armoured walker controlled by an interred Space Marine hero. The Salamanders regard self-sacrifice as the highest of virtues, and follow the tenets of their Promethean Cult to honour those who are reborn from great hardship and strife. Such traits are found in ample supply amongst the Dreadnoughts of the XVIII Legion, who wade into the fires of battle that claimed their lives, exhibiting the superior craft in arms and armour that Vulkan's sons are famed for.This multipart plastic and resin kit builds one Contemptor Dreadnought themed around the Salamanders Legion. It includes a full plastic Contemptor Dreadnought and a Salamanders Contemptor Dreadnought Upgrade Set with a resin head and torso. The hull features the iconography of the XVIII Legion in the form of an ornately sculpted firedrake's head covered in horns and scales, its fiery breath streaming out across the Dreadnought's chassis. These resin components replace some elements from the plastic Contemptor Dreadnought kit, allowing you to build and arm the model as you like.This kit comprises 164 plastic components and 2 resin components, and comes with a Citadel 60mm Round Base as well as a Legiones Astartes Vehicle Transfer Sheet containing 44 markings and icons. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly – we recommend using Citadel Colour paints. This resin modelling kit is a collectable item, and construction should only be undertaken by expert Warhammer hobbyists aged 15 years and over.This kit is also compatible with the Contemptor Dreadnought Weapon Frames, which are sold separately, allowing you to outfit your Dreadnought with two copies of the same arm-mounted ranged weapon.
