Contemptor dreadnaught wip

I can not say the name without this song getting stuck in my head:

But any ways, this is as far as I have gotten with this guy. Still got some minor cleaning and putty work to do, but got all of the important joints magnetized.

Dreading over dreadnaughts....

Had the happy experience of getting a package this afternoon from Forgeworld, even though it took them over three weeks to get here, and the box was dented, which is why my neighbors heard a blood curdling scream...
Any ways, had ordered two of the contemptor dreadnaughts, and a few arms to go with them.
First thoughts so far, as with anything Forgeworld, "What the hell did I get myself into?" First thing that struck me is that at least one dread has some problems with the casting, some of the resin did not flow right and appears gummy on the flash bits. Body has a couple of holes that will need putty work done.
Second thing, my odd luck resulted in one contemptor is of the regular version, and the other is the relic, which is not available or on the website from what I can tell. Go fig.
Design wise, it fits together like an old GI Joe or Transformers toys, all of the major joints are ball and socket, poses are nearly unlimited in what you can do. Was planning on magnetizing some of the arms, but will have to put some more thought into it before doing anything.
