Decided to go a bit more fluffy with my BA army, so im taking a Death company furioso dread for them.

the actual BA furioso models not only looks like crap, but it has barely any emblems or markings on it and its just far too clunky (due to being 100% metal)
would anyone object to me using an Ironclad dread in its place? The model will be painted and converted to WYSIWYG.
after all, a Furioso has 2 DCCW, heavy flamer and a meltagun. Pretty close to an Ironclad.

That should not be any problem. After all the all furioso dread used to have 2d6 for armor penetration for its "rending" attack. It would lose the ability if it lost one of its arms. Which works out as the hammer. I plan on doing the same and also do it reverse, fielding a furioso as a ironclad. I have 2 furiosos and the ability to field up to 1 more. I bought a total of 6 dreads back when you could field them as elite and heavies. also in case you run into tfg, just tell who ever you are playing against.
