==Contemptor-Furioso Dreadnoughts==

Yet another [[Dreadnought]] exclusive to the [[Blood Angels|bishonen vampires]]. The Contemptor-Furioso is the Furioso counterpart to regular Contemptor Dreadnoughts. As you can imagine, these things make regular old Furioso Dreadnoughts look like unused and rusted piles of [[METAL BOXES|metal boxes]] (The hilarious thing is that the 7th edition Blood Angel rules makes this more true than you would expect).

Like their little brothers, the Contemptor-Furioso is armed with two close combat weapons and is better than the regular Furioso in almost every way. It is unknown whether the Blood Angels still have their stockpiles of these sweet, sweet paintrains in their armory. Although it is highly likely that they still do when one considers the amount of [[STC]] the space vampires have found underneath their [[Baal|homeworld.]]

In a similar sense to the [[Contemptor-Mortis Dreadnoughts|Contemptor-Mortis Dreadnoughts]], after 10 millennia since the [[Horus Heresy]], the numbers of actual usable Contemptor-Furiosos are rare and beyond ancient. It is unknown whether the Blood Angels still have a stash of these guys hanging about underneath the surface of [[Baal]]. Though, if so they probably pulled a few out of storage after the [[Devastation of Baal]].

Contemptor-Furioso Dreadnoughts as mentioned are superior than the Furioso Dreadnoughts in almost every way save for price, obviously. Benefits include Atomantic Shielding, 13/12/10 armour, fleet, S7, WS5, The Red Thirst, two DCW's with storm bolters, and that's just to start! You get the option for both Contemptor fun (trading a DCW for Kheres Assault Cannon, other standard dread guns, etc) and Blood Angel goodies (Blood Talons, upgrading a storm bolter to a meltagun to break people out of their metal bawkses, the [[Frag Cannon]] arm replacement, and the chassis-mounted [[Miscellaneous_Weapons#Magna-Grapple|Magna Grapple]]). There's not much of a reason to take Blood Talons on Contemptor unless you know you're facing lots of 2+ saves, otherwise anything else is better. Keep in mind that taking Blood Talons restricts the ranged weaponry to the in-built weapon systems only, so if you use them you may want to consider taking a Lucius Pattern Dreadnought Drop Pod as well to assist getting it into combat.
