Imperial Fists Contemptor Mortis

May 2013·p. 92

THE SHORT VERSION

Mark Bedford applies the Imperial Fists’ yellow to a Contemptor Mortis. Transfers establish its Legion identity before weathering settles it into the collection. The large armour plates provide room for wear and contrasting markings. The feature concentrates on the finished effect and does not supply named paint products.

Mark of Calth, Burden of Duty and Grey Angel

Eight contributors explore the aftermath of Calth through stories ranging from Oll Persson’s journey to Erebus’s schemes. Andrew highlights the anthology’s varied viewpoints and David Annandale’s unsettling Traveller. Two audio releases follow different covert strands of the Heresy: Garro’s work aboard the Phalanx and Iacton Qruze’s investigation on Caliban. Both raise questions of loyalty away from the main battlefronts.

Abaddon and Loken

Simon Egan’s duel captures the confrontation in Isstvan III’s Choral City. Abaddon’s aggressive pose and Loken’s braced response make the shared scenic base part of the storytelling. The miniatures can be removed for individual use. An alternative combi-bolter arm gives Abaddon a further display or gaming option.

Emperor’s Children Contemptor Dreadnought

Palatine decoration and Legion insignia give the Contemptor an unmistakable Emperor’s Children identity. An eagle motif and the numeral III link the armour to the Legion’s favoured symbols. Its mechanical form remains compatible with the established Contemptor range. The review concentrates on the personalised sculpted details available to a collector.
