ZONKEY Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Hi just wanted to confirm that Dantes axe was unwieldy which is a shame as he loses his 6 iniative? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/295391-is-dantes-axe-unwieldy/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ishagu Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Next update he will likely get a big boost such as Eternal Warrior and an ap2 weapon that isn't unwieldy.

Midnightmare Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I think he will only get one of those, probably the axe at Init which out of the two it would be my preference. Depends if he becomes a mighty super-wuper heroic Lord of War (or not) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/295391-is-dantes-axe-unwieldy/#findComment-3781558 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishagu Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 But as the oldest living Space Marine, shouldn't he be an Eternal Warrior rules wise at least? They could always give the axe two profiles - similar to Logan.

JamesI Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 hopefully his axe gets improved next codex. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/295391-is-dantes-axe-unwieldy/#findComment-3781770 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Devil Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 He doesn't really fight with his axe anymore, just uses it to help him stand. A cane would be unseemly for a Chapter Master. GW doesn't improve rules, they just change them or ignore them. Since there most likely won't be a new model for him, Dante will be a LOW with no other changes.

Crimson Devil Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I say give him a chariot pulled by Death Co. and an extra space for Corbulo so his nurse can be close by.

Orblivion Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Pistol whipping? You can choose which weapon to use when in assault, so if Dante decides to make his attacks with his pistol he keeps his I6.
