Ah a deadly combination of an awesome army paint scheme and an awesome model. I love the details and the mud effects of the feet.

Question about working with resin models though, how difficult are they to build and paint?

I've never had any major problems with resin. The main thing is the prep work, you really need to make sure its well washed or the paint wont stick. It's also brittle, which is good and bad Easy to snap but much easier to fix.

Ah okay, thankee. So Astral Claws are a Forgeworld Spacemarine army, explains why I've never heard of them. I usually just paruse Forgeworld for the pretty pictures of models I'll never afford.

Okay, not being familiar specifically with Astral Claws, what is a Contemptor?

*From Forge World website*
The Contemptor Pattern Dreadnought was once a mainstay of the armoured might of the Astartes Legions of old. Larger and stronger than standard pattern Dreadnoughts, the Contemptor’s systems featured many examples of techno-arcana steeped in the sacred mysteries of the Legio Cybernetica. Some chapters still boast these war relics amongst their ranks, and whenever the Contemptor takes to the field of battle, it is an echo of the power of ancient days.
