For a Blood Angels Death Company dread?

Sure. A proxy is a proxy, and if it's close enough, I don't think most people would freak out about it.

Just make sure to let your opponent know what it is before the game starts.

I don't see why not. At worst, just tape some paper claws onto the plasma cannon and then you're set. it's not much different from using a venerable dread as a normal one. Model-wise, I don't think there's any difference.
