Morollan Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 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) The axe at Init would be nice. Having a 250 point T4 model with no Eternal Warrior striking last is completely absurd. How on earth did he become the oldest living marine when he dies in absolutely any fight that involves a power fist (or equivalent)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 His mind is tactically sound enough to avoid then and he rolled with a beat squad before it was cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZONKEY Posted August 22, 2014 Author Share Posted August 22, 2014 I believe Dantes axe should like Logan grimnars with two attack profiles ap3 at iniative or ap2 versus anything else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knife&fork Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 I just think power weapon rules in general are stupid. Make the debuffs mirror the buffs instead and you'll get more depth in what to take. Axe - plus 1 strength, -1 initiative fist - 2* strength, 1/2 initiative and so on.

Xenith Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 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. He is the oldest because he avoids being hit, not because he can take a punch to the face like Calgar. Eternal warrior for the Sanguinor, I6 MC axe with +1S for Dante. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sans Mercy Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Didn't want to be rude and start a new thread for this whinefest, but looking at the Chaos Daemon Codex I noticed Skarbrand cost the same as Dante. If they ever soloed one another Dante would lose like dropping a puppy into a wood chipper.I sure hope they fix this nonsense with the new dex.

Nicodemus Doloroso Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 But with the awesomest models in the whole Citadel range. I'm thinking GW's got to improve them with the 7th ed codex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sans Mercy Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Its been said here a 1000 times; a re-costing would be nice,10-15 %, and fix that rotten unwieldy curse they put on half of our HQ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicodemus Doloroso Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I really hope they don't do much more than that. I really love our codex the way it is but for the points costs which no longer jive with the rest of the game/armies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quixus Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Force Organization changing characters are no longer en vogue but new detachments are. So probably Dante like Logan will no longer make an Elites choice a troops choice (not sure what happened to Draigo, Belial is 6th Ed and Deathwing as been around very long). Off topic, does Dante have a first name (besides Commander )? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never use the wiki, it is terrible. The quote they use here is from Dante's Warlord dataslate, but in the actual quote the name Cervan Dante does not appear. "The last surviving Sanguinary Priests and Chaplains came together in communion, electing the last-living Captain as the next Chapter Master." is the actual quote. The name Cervan started circulating years ago, but I have never once seen a source mentioned for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ishagu Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Dante should cost 180 points. Lose the silly mask rules, give him fear instead. Keep the deepstrike buff and hit and run. Make his axe str5, mastercrafted, ap2. Don't give him eternal warrior or make him a lord of war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make his axe str5, mastercrafted, ap2. Don't give him eternal warrior or make him a lord of war. Fear is the most useless USR in the game.... and he already has it from the mask. So you want to keep the axe exactly the same? (or are you suggesting a set S5 without unwieldy?) For 180 pts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishagu Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Make it Initiative 6 ap2 without unwieldy. Make the mask lower leadership in combat by d3 or something each turn in that case. Not a lot to ask, look at characters like Abaddon and now Draigo who has initiative 5 ap2, force! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
