Space Marines Portal Blood Angels

The Furioso Dreadnought is a Space Marine Dreadnought pattern used by the Blood Angels and their successor Chapters.

Overview

The Blood Angels often use a Dreadnought variant called the Furioso pattern. The Blood Angels preference for close combat is reflected in this Dreadnought as it is armed with two Dreadnought Close Combat Weapons, in either a Blood Talon or Blood Fist pattern⁴, and forgoes any heavy weaponry, although one arm may be replaced with a frag cannon as an assault weapon^4a. It also has one built in storm bolter to deal with large numbers of light infantry as well as a meltagun to deal with any heavier vehicles it may come across. The storm bolter is sometimes upgraded to a heavy flamer. Mortally wounded librarians are sometimes interred into a suit of modified furioso armour and are equipped with a force weapon and close combat weapon.^{1-p7 2-p12} Dreadnoughts inducted into the Death Company are solely comprised of Furioso variants ⁴ and Librarian Furioso's may also be found in use by the Blood Angels and their successors⁴.
