The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a type of [[Grand Cruiser]] used by the [[Imperial Navy]] and forces of [[Chaos]].
==Overview==
The Furious Class vessels reached limited production as the [[Repulsive Class Grand Cruiser]]s reached the point at which [[Tech Priest]]s of the [[Imperium]] had increasing difficulties maintaining their complex systems. At the same time an idea caught on at the shipyards of [[Cypra Mundi]] to utilize the newly developed armored prow of a [[Battleship]] combined with a Grand Cruiser. This created a flagship for combined Cruiser fleets, which had the massive firepower of the earlier Repulsive design but enhanced command capabilities.{{Fn|1}}
These ships were used primarily as portable firepower, upping the power of Imperial squadrons to almost Battleship levels thanks to its two [[Weapons Batteries]], [[Lance]] battery, and [[Torpedo]] tubes. Tactically these ships were successful but suffered from the same engine issues as their Repulsive-class predecessors. As a result, a more thorough rebuild took place in [[M39]] which reduced the weapon strength but added reliability. Following the [[Gothic War]], a few remained in service, primarily with the fleets of [[Segmentum Obscurus]] and [[Segmentum Tempestus]] where their formidable firepower remains so valuable that the unreliable engines are overlooked.{{Fn|1}}
Through unknown means, several Furious Class Grand Cruisers have defected to [[Chaos]] and remain in service with heretic forces.{{Fn|1}}
==Notable Ships==
*''Furious'' - Imperial vessel that took part in the [[Gothic War]]. Responsible for the destruction of the [[Murder Class Cruiser]]s ''Blood Anger'' and ''Cruel Worship.{{Fn|1}}
*''Agincourt'' - Imperial vessel that took part in the [[Gothic War]]. Responsible for the destruction of the [[Murder Class Cruiser]]s ''Blood Anger'' and ''Cruel Worship.{{Fn|1}}
