I am making a fun list and have just been wondering what would work better for taking out infantry squads. Or what is better in general.In this list I already have 5 death company and I have 125pts to spare in this 1750pts army. So I was wondering if I should take a Furioso with Blood Talons or a Death Company Dreadnought with Blood Talons. Barring in mind that I have no room for a drop pod or a storm raven so they will be walking.

DC Dreadnought

Pro's: None Can Stay My Wrath
Fleet
Furious Charge
3 attacks standard

Con's: Rage
Standard Armour Value 12 12 10
WS 5

Furioso Dreadnought

Pro's: Front Armour 13
Red Thirst
WS6

Con's: Only 2 attacks standard
No Fleet
No Furious Charge

(Red thirst does not gaurentee the Furious Charge unlike the DC Dreadnought)

So i now simply ask you to comment and vote on wich you think is best and why. Thaks for your time.

Death Company are better because they can be used to represent Tankred . But seriously, they do really well at taking out infantry

I think it's hard to say 'one is better than the other' because they are better at different things.
If I had to pick though, Furioso because you don't have to take DC to have them, they can take talons too if needs must, and can't be hurt at all by krak grenades, guard fists, etc (unless they are immobilized I mean) And are harder to hurt with marines with fists. Also, harder to shoot down

I'd go with the DC one, as you listed a fun 1500 pt. That and the fact that Fleet is smexy.

Walking across the board I like the Furioso. Being able to controll it and the 1 pt of extra Armour goes a long way.

I'm saying DC because you already have death company so you might as well fire off another missile that has to be stopped or it will own face. Melta cares not for that extra 1 pt of armor, and your dreads will be all up in peoples faces
