Hey everyone, noob question inbound

Ok, I know the Furioso is a Blood Angel unit, but I found a deal on one (WAY below retail) and I was curious if I would technically be able to use it with my Salamander army. I may buy it anyway, just to bring my dreadnought count up to 3, but the answers to this thread will influence my decision quite a bit.

Thanks

ONLY BA and successor chapters may use the Furioso (or CSM also have the option for 2 dccw).

Other codex marines may not. they just don't have the option for it in codex:Space marines.

The closest you would get would be as an ironclad proxy/counts-as in a space marine (non-BA) army.

I'm OVER 50 (and so far over everyone's BS, too).
Old enough to know better, young enough to not give a ****.

That is not dead which can eternal lie ...

... and yet, with strange aeons, even death may die.

Crap. Thanks for the quick answer btw, guess I'll pick up another AoBR Dread then

If you want the <CENSORED> dread buy it and the BA codex, paint the dread salamander colors, and field your army as a WYSIWYG but oddly colored BA army. The end.

on the other hand, if it is a heck of a deal.. grab it!

At the least, you might be able to turn it into trade-fodder, or find an off-arm for the right side, and field it as stock. (might have to file off blood drops, but...)

It really would come down to price for me!

2+2=5 for sufficiently large values of 2.

Order of St Ursula (Sisters of Battle): W-2, L-1, T-1
Get of Freki (Space Wolves): W-3, L-1, T-1
Hive Fleet Portentosa (Nids/Stealers): W-6, L-4, T-0
Omega Marines (vanilla Space Marine): W-1, L-6, T-2
Waagh Magshak (Orks): W-4, L-0, T-1
A.V.P.D.W.: W-0, L-2, T-0

Convert it into a Dreadnought variant that Codex Marines can use. The skull head would look great if you can make the model look like a Salamander. You could consider buying a FW arm for the gun.
