The Contemptor Dreadnoughts of the Legiones Astartes enabled the mortally injured warriors interred within them to continue to serve their Legions during the Great Crusade, and many fought at the forefront of some of the bloodiest and fiercest battles of the Horus Heresy. A large number were destroyed during those dark times, but some survived and are still in service in the Space Marine Chapters and Chaos Space Marine warbands of the 41st Millennium. This Contemptor Dreadnought bears the knightly heraldry and iconography of the Dark Angels.

The Dark Angels were proud of their status as the First Legion, and this dreadnought is lavishly decorated with iconography and symbols proclaiming their might. The barrel-chested torso is dominated by a massive pair of angel wings, with a choice of either a sword or Dark Angels icon in the center. The left knee is sculpted with a lion rampant brandishing a sword, whilst the sarcophagus features peaked arches and candles to lend a fittingly baroque look. Available to both Warhammer 40,000 and The Horus Heresy armies, the Dark Angels Contemptor has been designed to match the gothic aesthetic of this most mysterious brotherhood in either setting.

Please note that the Contemptor Dreadnought arms pictured are not supplied – the kit is compatible with all Contemptor Dreadnought arm options, which are available separately.

Rules for the Dark Angels Legion Contemptor Dreadnought can be found in The Horus Heresy – Legiones Astartes: Age of Darkness Army List. Dark Angels Legion special rules are available in The Horus Heresy Book 6 – Retribution.
