Ushtarador Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 I just slapped together some sanguinary guard bits, gave him red wings instead of white ones, and painted "Dante" on the scroll on his forhead :D I really love the SG models in general, they make a perfect body for him. If you want, you could give him a special IP and a unique axe, I actually was too lazy to bother.

DominicJ Posted December 14, 2012 Author Share Posted December 14, 2012 That was the plan, but I was hoping someone had a more impressive version :D I'll have to see what I can knock up Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/267748-buiding-a-dante/#findComment-3261099 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Well, what is your definition of impressive? Most people do go down the Sanguinary Guard route though...

DominicJ Posted December 14, 2012 Author Share Posted December 14, 2012 Since I intend to use him in a sanguinary guard army, i wanted to avoid sanguinary guard bits as much as possible. I'm just gluing bits together now, I've gone for the command squad torso with the cloak and the collar, a sanguinary guard death mask head. I've wedged in two little wings from the death company box between the head and the torso, to provide like a Mephiston collar type thing, Axe is the big sanguinary guard one, but one handed I made up a DC jump pack but it wont fit, so it might be wings after all My pics usually arent very good, but will be posted Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/267748-buiding-a-dante/#findComment-3261128 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DominicJ Posted December 14, 2012 Author Share Posted December 14, 2012 Bad pick, but best I could get Since then, he has had two winged blood drop shoulder pads, was going to use sang guard pads, but that would sort of defeat the object.... The jump pack definitely wont fit, wings and a normal pack will. Might see if i can get a banner to fit somewhere too.

SnorriSnorrison Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 The best Dante conversion, or let's say DIY, I've ever seen is Blindhamster's, the guy who also build a fabulous Tycho conversion. (If I'm not mixing anything up here). He sculpted the legs after the original Dante miniature, so the mini wouldn't look bulky, but very slender and gracile. Fits the initiative of 6, if I may say so. If I was to make a Dante miniature, I'd take the same approach as Blindhamster - the Sanguinary Guard's legs are too bulky for Dante, they just look big and nothing like the original's legs. You could probably use the upper legs, the shinguards however are unfitting in my opinion. :D Snorri Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/267748-buiding-a-dante/#findComment-3261160 Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesI Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 My Dante is made using Sanguinary Guard and DC bits and the Sanguinor's jump pack/wings. Its my avatar, though I have since updated my Dante to be carrying the big axe out of the SG box rather than a sword due to the FAQ and not wanting to deal with issues of the model having a sword but the rules saying an axe.

Cain Tiberius Kondrad Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 I just did the Sang Guard conversion with Sanguinor wings for my Dante. Here's a link to Blindhamster's log. Has a pic of Dante and Tycho. Blindhamster's log I think his conversions are awesome, but I used Sang Guard because I really don't like Dante's skinny legs, lol. But to each their own.

Chaplain Admetus Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 @Talnox, that one's so close to the original Dante I had to do a double-take. Captured the essence of the original whilst making it look a lot better, 5 stars! :yes: Especially considering its mostly Green Stuff.
