Forge World’s Mighty Mhara Gal Tainted Dreadnought Now Available
February 27, 2015 by brennon
Forge World have now put forth another of their Horus Heresy Weekender models for pre-order. See what you make of the Word Bearers Tainted Dreadnought, Mhara Gal...
More on Mhara Gal...
"First encountered during the Battle of Ithraca amidst the catastrophe on Calth, the twisted form of the Mhara Gal Tainted Dreadnought is terrifying in both its aspect and its unearthly power. The first Mhara Gal is believed to have been created from the barely living remains of a Gal Vorbak Dark Brethren and a battle-shattered Contemptor Dreadnought chassis, both recovered from the blood-soaked ground of Isstvan V. Fused together by unholy practices, they were then corrupted by a warp-borne power, giving birth to a new monstrosity – a living engine of war and hatred."
...quite the terrifying possessed beast on the battlefield. In battle he comes equipped with a warpfire plasma cannon and tainted power claws making him the scourge of armour and infantry alike.
When it comes to the model itself however, I'm not sold. I saw the original preview of him and thought he looked ok but now I've had a bit more time I'm not so sure. I'm really not a fan of the way the mutations have been done and I don't like the weird top heavy look to him either. He looks like his waist is about to snap.
I'm sure other people have more positive opinions on him so let me know in the comments!
What do you think?

Like how the spine is sticking out in the back, embedded in the armour … otherwise it looks very blocky and undetailed
is he meant to be in a ‘come at me bro’ pose?
I think it fits in line with the Gal Vorbak so I can appreciate the work they have done but its not to my tastes. For a 40k Chaos army or 30k Word Bearers it’d work really well.
-Sighs- And meanwhile we of the Iron Warriors (and those who follow Alpha legion) have yet to receive any kind of unit, character or upgrade pack, while every other legion mentioned in the 3 first books keep getting more stuff.
Not a bad model, suffers once again from the flat FW paint scheme. The bare sculpt on the site is much more impressive looking as you can see the details.
The two event models are Iron Warrior and Alpha Legion, and with own rules.
Had a chance to have a look at this first hand at the Horus heresy weekender, its a lovely sculpt and pictures don’t do it justice.
Actually really like, this and it is huge compared to the normal contemptor.
i think its a beauty
Well that is rather unique Dreadnought.
I love this, I’m seriously tempted to buy but Salute is Coming…
That small demon foot sticking out of the left foot throws this whole model off for me.. just looks a bit too wierd in my opinion.
