Furious BSB

Hey guys,

I've been tinkering with the idea of using this mark or that mark on the units, and especially considering still going a mono army...for some reason. While doing so, I was wondering if this would be an effective build for a BSB, or if its even legal.

As far as I know, our BSBs can't have any magic items with a magic banner, but can take gifts. I was wondering if fury of the blood god would be a valid use with a magic banner. It does state no magic items, but I wasn't too sure if a standard is considered an item, based on the BSB rule stating he can't take a magic standard and a magic item. Does that make sense?

The MR and ward save would be pretty handy. My idea was to give him Banner of Rage and throw him into a unit of 40 GW marauders. This way they'd be frenzied no matter what, and if the unit becomes ineffective (or the banner is just plain needed elsewhere), the BSB can jump out of the unit and provide the rage to another one.

How's that sound? Savvy?

Cant do it sorry. A magic banner is still a magic item. The rule if you read it again about the BSB states that the BSB cannot take any other magic items not that he cannot take any magic items.
