[[File:Furioso DreadnoughtBloodTalons.JPGjpg|thumb|right|A Blood Angels [[Furioso Dreadnought]] equipped with Blood Talons.]]150px|'''Blood Talons''' are a [[Dreadnought]] weapon in the armory of the [[Blood Angels]] and successor chapters. Unlike most [[Dreadnought Close Combat Weapons]], a blood talon more closely resembles a [[Lightning Claw{{Fn|lightning claw3}}]] in appearance and operation. This weapon has four powered blades that pincer down on a target or slash through an enemy with ease; and with the strength of a Dreadnought behind it, a blood talon can sweep through half of an enemy squad with a single stroke. They are used exclusively in pairs, and can be relatively easily acquired for use within a chapter that utilizes them.
