I'd like to build a Furioso Dreadnought with blood talons, a melta gun and a heavy flamer. Do you think I should go with the actual Furioso model or the venerable dreadnought kit? I don't think the Furioso comes with a heavy flamer, but the venerable kit might. ??

The Ironclad kit has a melta gun but the Venerable does not.

**03bbrevenge**

the Ironclad kit comes with 2 heavy flamers, the olny issue is that one arm is a seismic hammer, so it would take a little work to convert it over to an open fist, although as a frag cannon it could look pretty cool

**Sarigar**

The GW site offers the Furioso Dread, albeit it is a metal kit and does not have Blood Talons.

**Shrubs**

If you haven't glued the DCCW's to your regular dreads, then you could take an Ironclad and use the DCCW from the regular dread as its left arm.

**Elector**

I recommend using the blade-fist chainsaw fist-thing the Ironclad comes with as his left DCCW, it just looks awesome, though it wouldn't count as blood talons.

I don't really know if there are blood talon bitz available for sale, does anyone happen to know?

**Superscope**

my current idea for my Furioso Dread with blood talons is this...

1xDreadnaught (maybe ironclad.. but a normal one without arms would be a cheaper option)
2xDreadnaught claw weapons (Lefty and Righty) from forgeworld.

Will have to hunt for bits and peices to finalise the thing however

I think that the blood talons shown on the one in the codex are from Bjorn the Fell Handed, IIRC. I think it's a you "have to convert it" thing right now. I'm thinking Iron clad kit with a spare fist from a black reach dread. Take a good sized plastic fork, cut the tips of the dreads "fingers" off and mate the tines to that to create blood talons.
