Legio Custodes Contemptor Achillus Dreadnought by Forge World: Model, Build and Tactics Review

[@mightydoz4227]

seriously loving that you take every available opportunity to use the word "filigree" for it is an excellent word.

[@leakycheese]

Indeed it is, nice to hear that you are also an appreciator of this finest of words. One gets such little opportunity to use it in day to day life that I felt I would indulge a little in this review. Thanks for watching :)

[@mightydoz4227]

leakycheese your videos are always worth watching, my friend. excellent model and as ever great video :)

[@xereius9995]

As ever great video, love the thumbnail :D

[@leakycheese]

Cheers mate! There was a moment of golden light as the sun went down this evening so I raced up to the top floor, opened the skylight and held the Achillus up to the sky and snapped the shot. It won't win the Pulitzer prize but I was happy how it turned out. Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching :)

[@lund5869]

badass. awesome as always

[@roguecarrick816]

I want to run one of these as my space marines chapter master.

[@leakycheese]

+Rogue Carrick Overpowered but very cool ;) Thanks for watching :)

[@Trazynn]

I jus trealised this makes for a great Emperor's Children contemptor as well. All the iconography works becaause the Emperor's Children as the only other chapter allowed to wear the Aquilla.

[@leakycheese]

+BaileysBeads That's a good shout, I bet it would look surprisingly at home in purple ;) Thanks for watching :)

[@Trazynn]

Yeah he'd fit right among a unit of Phoenix Guard terminators

[@Cadars]

That model just looks amazing :D!

[@leakycheese]

+Cadars Yeah, at the risk of dipping into the hyperbole pool it is an absolutely fantastic model - a suitably impressive sequel to the last new dreadnought chassis of the Leviathan. Thanks for watching :)

[@Cadars]

Yea the next leviathan looks like a beast :)

[@jangunnar9978]

I say it again, that is a awesome model😍 and is strong too, so its almost a must model in a custodien force i think ( but i love cans with legs...alot😅) great build and review mate. Got my package and i have to be unlucky ( both Leviathans have moldslips, one of them missing parts...and some other stuff. Im sure FW will fix it but you know...the waiting-time) best regards from the warmer and warmer Norway

[@leakycheese]

Yeah, I think this one is an auto-include for the serious Custodian. Bummer that you got some bad bits, get the details through to them and I'm sure they will sort you out quickly, one of the guys stateside said they sent his replacement parts by express delivery so he had them pretty quick. Hopefully you have some of the models you can be getting on with while the new parts arrive? Thanks for watching :)

[@jangunnar9978]

leakycheese yeah, they have sent it express every time to now. So i hope they do it this time too😊 regarding building what i got.....have gone over 2 Leviathans, 1 contemptor and 5 reavers.....and cant build none of that ( all the reavers-bodys had moldslips, one of the Leviathans had broken left body and moldslips. the other one had just moldslips ) But i cant get negative. just have to take pictures to document and hope the best😊 have 5 reavers and 5 justarins to go over. Is like this every time i order( this is the worst order to now, ), but becouse the great service they have i keep buying and will continue since i love their models. But I agree what you said regarding the production controll, or they who are checking the bits. Many of the bits shouldnt have been packed😑

[@leakycheese]

+Jan Gunnar That is up there with the worst experiences I have heard about or experienced, I'm surprised kits are still going out with missing parts 😕 That said, at least you have two decent kits to work on. What weapons are you going for in the Justerians, will you take their signature multi-melta for a support weapon?

[@jangunnar9978]

leakycheese ....and the other reaver set had only 2 okey. and some moldslips on the justarins, dont know how much, since i got tired of writing and taking pictures. I hope since it was so horrible order they fix it fast. Regarding weapon, yeah i think i go for the signatur....Even though i have to say autocannon looks awesome on them. at least the contemptor weapons was okey and the weapons to the Leviathans. The boarding shields pack was 50/50 okey and bad, the 5 volkite weapons was perfect and the knight head was good. I have the mail with good pictures and explainations away to them tomorrow😉 And as always best regards😊 ps: not long to you have 1000 subs now😎 and maybe one day we get to play again at each others. Im planning a trippel to warhammer world next year. I have to experience that and to go around i the Forgeworlds store.. ..im drooling like Homer just thinking on that😅 Have a nice day and when I have gotten my sons of horus together you will get a picture, maybe a video of it. I have Betrayel at calth and Burning of prospero...but most will be used to make ordinary troops. but all of the Legion special troops must i buy from FW. and shoulderpads and all that stuff. i realy look forward to this year. so much i want to do. and im just waiting for the Inferno book to come, and the new thousand sons modells from FW. I have 4 or 5 domitars so whe i saw you can use them in TS army i got happy( so 2 of them is for that army). and they get castellaxes too. I see the castelax darkfire is not sold anymore....im happy i have 4 of those😍 ps: Sorry for my rambling mate, where i live its non exstient community for 30k so when i started to talk with you....you fueled a spark in me. I love 30k, the fluff, characters, all the options. enough...you get a big horus-hole in your head of me. Cheers mate

[@leakycheese]

Jan Gunnar If you do get chance to visit Warhammer World it is a cool experience for the 40K fan, the store is great, WW exclusives etc. If you do viait then let me know, if I'm about perhaps we could grab a beer at Bugmans :) Glad you are really into your 30K stuff, its a shame you have no opponents nearby. Still that's why the tube is so great for the hobby because there is so much great content about and lots of people to discuss ideas with. Onwards tp 1K subs indeed :) Good luck getting that order sorted out mate!

[@darthbobminiatures]

I love your videos and the commentary you have on all the different models. I have a quick question though: what kit does the mound of rubble and Space Marine corpses your Contemptor is standing on come from? I love basing my models in urban rubble terrain and I'm always on the lookout for resin bits and bobs that'd be useful for basing.

[@leakycheese]

+DarthBob Cheers mate, glad you are enjoying the channel. The terrain piece is from 25th Anniversary Space Marine model. There are quite a few still around on ebay and if you shop around you can get them for a decent price. My review of the set (minus terrain piece) if you are interested: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYmzgpR8lKh3jLM Thanks for watching :)

[@darthbobminiatures]

Ah, I thought it looked familiar. Really wish I could have picked that model up when it was available, but I was in a bit hesitant because of it being Finecast. I bought so many of the initial Finecast models and had very poor experiences with most of them.

[@lightstealer18]

Hey! What did you use for filling the gaps and holes?

[@leakycheese]

That’s Milliput, the standard yellow-grey variety. It’s a two part epoxy putty and an excellent, cheap filler for fixing gaps and holes on resin models.

[@lightstealer18]

@@leakycheese thank you kind sir, appreciate that

[@OneTwoMilsim]

I may be butchering the rules here, looking for some clarification. As I understood it, when given the dreadspear he has 3 melee weapons; 2x Dread CCW + the spear, would this give him not one but two bonus attacks? 6 attacks base + additional on the charge? Please correct me if I'm wrong, my mates and I are rather new but I have one of these in the mail almost here so I'd love to have the rules right before he hits the table!

[@leakycheese]

monk1junk1 My understanding is that you can only claim one extra attack for having an additional close combat weapon.... *dashes off and grabs 7th edition* *dashes back* Found it, on page 49 it states you can only get one extra attack for additional weapons e.g. even four arms with swords is still only +1. Hope that helps and thanks for watching :)

[@OneTwoMilsim]

Coming back rather late as my Achillus has only just arrived and I'm assembling as we speak, thank you very much for this clarification!

[@jamiewright997]

great video, page 91 walkers gain +1 attacks per additional close combat weapon so in this case +2, also its up for debate online atm (rules as written vs rules as intended) that rules as written the dread spear makes all of its attacks str d if a single 6 to hit is rolled.

[@leakycheese]

Jamie Wright Cheers mate, glad you enjoyed it. Yes, you are quite right with your interpretation of the rules as written, the Forge World writers were a bit sloppy on this one. There are a few loose ends in book seven that need tidying up, in particular can anyone tell me what a Misericordia does? We all have to make our own choice on how to play this one. I'm going to assume +1 attack for an extra CC weapon and one D hit per 6 rolled on charge attacks. That way I'm playing the least advantage to my unit (which is very deadly at that level), my opponents will be happier (I still remember their Mechanicum exposure trauma!) and if the rule is FAQ'd the other way it's a bonus. My opponents are decent guys so it easier to do it this way, I guess you could argue it the other way if you play *That Guy* a lot ;) Thanks for watching.

[@Mikey__R]

That is a Contemptor pattern dreadnaught I like! The detail almost changes the barrel shaped torso. You must have at least three Contemptors now?

[@leakycheese]

+Mikey R Lets see, I have four now: Mortis, Relic, Iron Hands and Achillus. I like my dreadnoughts! Thanks for watching :)

[@OfficialMINIm]

These look exactly like warhammer 40k stuff but bigger with greater detail. What is this stuff? 😮

[@leakycheese]

+OfficialMINIm These models are made by Forge World, an offshoot part of GW who make specialist and resin kits for the games. Link if you want to check them out: www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-GB/The-Horus-Heresy?_requestid=22522440 Thanks for watching :)

[@OfficialMINIm]

leakycheese oh wow! Thats cool stuff i found your channel from the 1/35 hardgraph 08th MS team gundam stuff but you review a whole lot of cool stuff :)

[@leakycheese]

+OfficialMINIm You're welcome mate. The Hardgraph tank is a great kit I had a lot of fun with so glad you liked it, hope you enjoy the rest of the videos as well :)

[@Trazynn]

This is a dreadnought from a time before dreadnought turned into walking toasters.

[@disceva6443]

noice

[@leakycheese]

Ahriman Cheers mate and thanks for watching :)

[@matteozanardi9450]

That thumbnail tho

[@leakycheese]

+Matteo Zanardi Yeah, golden sunset this evening so I thought I'd seize the opportunity for a bit of photo fun. Thanks for watching :)

[@robmccord2583]

Ooooh ... 666 subscribers... I wonder who it is?

[@leakycheese]

+Rob McCord You're the Faust person to spot that. I'm quite Marlow about who it could be but someone Goethe be the first to know. Thanks for watching :)
