What's the best way to run Dante?

[BLACK BLΠFLY]

Just think if there was no Sanguinor then Dante would have been an Eternal Warrior. SW got it like it's candy.

 

G :lol:

Dante + RAS with a Priest. And, if you have the spare points throw in a Chaplain.

This is what I ran with last game.

 

The result was a lot of dead everything.

I played a game yesterday with my Sanguinary Guard against a Space Wolf Player and Dante and his squad made they're points over the course of the game. Taking out 2 SW Venerable Dreadnoughts, 2 Squads of Grey Hunters and a unit of Wolf Guard... and only losing 1 member to a Dreadnought in combat.

I like him with a squad of Sang Guard as well. Dante, SG with Banner, Priest with IP and PW. Near unkillable with small arms and will annihilate almost anything on the charge.

While you normally want the padding of an honor guard or assault squad, running him alone can work really well against MSU lists.

 

Jump pack, 2+ save, high WS, BS5 melta pistol, 6 PW attacks with a reroll at I6 coupled with hit n run is a devastating combination against the minimalistic (no pw or pf, just melta) razor/chimera squads we see a lot of right now.

 

I'd say he's even better than mephiston in this role thanks to better shooting, being more likely to to not overkill a squad and his ability to break off from a combat. Oh, and having a jump pack that always works.
