Emperors Immortals Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 So after much debate, it seems that Furioso Dreads can now take upgrades after theyve been given the librarian upgrade. My specific question is ; "can i replace the blood fist arm with a frag cannon?". Its just that if i can take the other upgrades, can i take this one too? So far, ive been podding in with MoH and Shield for a killy H2H unit with a psychic hood for my army - but then i thought of taking the upgrade epistolrey and having Moh and Wings/smite. THEN i thought, hang on, i can take a frag cannon as an upgrade for my blood fist, right???? well, what do you guys think?

Tokunator Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Yes, you can upgrade the Fist to a Frag Cannon. However, it is not possible to upgrade the Librarian Dreadnought to an Epistolary because it is not an option in the Dreadnought's unit entry.

ancient god Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Yeah, the frag cannon part works. Leaves you with two S6 FW attacks though, instead of three S10 or S6 FW.

JamesI Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Imagine how expensive it would be to have a Furioso Episoltary Librarian. Wow. Too bad its not legal, the sheer expense would be balancing.

shorty Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Wait a second...i only own a german version of the codex and it stated that the normal Furioso scriptor is armed with a bloodfist and integrated stormbolter and a forceweapon. It cost its points and thats the last Upgrade form in the Furioso Line...so i dont think you can update a Furioso Scriptor with a Frag Cannon or even a Magna Grapple...you can only give him the normal Bloodfist with stormbolter (not even a Melter !!) and that forceweapon... Or is it allowed to first go to the last entry choose the Scriptor Furiose pay the points for that update and then go up in the line to change the weapons ? I dont think so...

SamaNagol Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Nowhere anywhere in the rules does it say you must work your way from top to bottom when it comes to upgrades. So yes, if you still meet the requirements to swap a Blood Fist for a Frag Cannon, you can certainly do that.

shatter Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Magna, frag cannon and the 2 powers blood lance and fear of darkness sounds like a lot of options in the shoot phase, what?
