I'm looking into starting a Dread heavy Blood Angels army, and I had a couple of questions:

1) Mag Grapples are totally awesome, but Death Company dreads are affected by Rage. Does this mean that they must also “fleet” in the shooting phase to get closer to an enemy, or can they elect to fire instead? (Rage says they always have to move towards the closest enemy I believe).

2) Furioso dreads replace all their “Wargear” to become a furioso Librarian, but can they then still take options from the list, IE a Mag Grapple or Blood Talon? Those are listed as “Options” not “Wargear”. The dread’s “Wargear” is listed as 2x Bloodfists and Smoke Launchers I believe.

1)Rage allows for shooting.

2) No; Answer enforced by the BA FAQ:

Q: Can a Furioso Librarian take additional wargear (such
as extra armour)? (p29)
A: No.
