durdle-durdle Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 (edited) I'm reading Dante right now, and it makes several appearances. It seems like a blood angels specific version of the legion of the damned. If it ever gets revealed I suspect it will be the spirit of sanguinius (as much of a "well, duh" moment as I think it would be). On another note, I've been listening to flesh tearers audiobooks and I find myself wishing I had painted my guys red and black. The flesh tearers just seem so badass and embrace who they are compared to the super noble character of the blood angels.

Dont-Be-Haten Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Saw this wicked idea for a 5 man Erelim squad as a counts-as Sanguinary Guard squad. Black SGs with skull helms and red wings sounds so damn cool!

LutherMax Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Fantastic Luther! Ok so I want to take a sounding on what people think the Sanguinor is. Less and less is the theory that he is just flesh and blood plausible. The way he has been appearing in recent novels is leaning heavily towards a more ethereal state of existence. What do you think brothers? He definitely appears to be some kind of angelic figure, and seems to have insight into future events...

Rafen IX Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Poetic License, id assume. You can take a stormwing no problems, they wouldn't get any benefits from being BA anyway.. I wouldn't mind using the BA fighter ace traits.Even though I've pre ordered the Triumvirate of the Primarch it's making me eye up the Imperium one as well. I just can't get over how useful Celestine or Greyfax would be, not even including the access to the relics Celestine provides. Hmm Anyone have any opinions yay or nay?

Charlo Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Celestine can basically turn any of our jump units into a viable death star not to mention she looks awesome or (as many on this board has noted) would make a kick-ass Sanguinor count as, with her multiple buffs and jump infantry status. It's quite hard to touch the unit behind 14 T4 2+/4++ wounds where 4 of those can come back each turn and 10 of them have Eternal Warrior. Oh and they'll have FNP from the obligatory Sanguinary Priest too. She even grants the much favoured Hit & Run rule (perfect for us with Charge Bonuses!) Gives Dante the Freedom to straight up murder whoever he wants. Just picture a unit of Sanguinary guard with Celestine, Her Gemini, Dante, Sanguinary Priest, Chaplain & Librarian... Just Beautiful. Not to mention she also brings her relics along that your characters have access too, of which the notable ones are: 6+ Invuln for a squad - not bad to Sanguinary Guard S+2 AP3 sword that is AP2 on a successful Ld test - Enjoy your second Dante A Bolt Pistol that ignored all saves - could be fun Straight up Eternal Warrior for someone LutherMax and Rafen IX 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/297201-ba-today/page/211/#findComment-4674430 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafen IX Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 That, was almost exactly what I was considering lol top man, thank you brother. Gah, another £50 on the plastic crack addiction. Still running her in front of either SG or Death company...Chaplain with that ap2 sword... I suppose the only downside is losing our Red Thirst.

Nothing stopping her being part of a small CAD while you bring the big hitters in a BSF....! Also buy her from a 3rd party. Then the Triumvirate is a much more palatable £35-ish.

Spagunk Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 So I think with the re-release of cypher and his not-quite-heresy marine cadre, I may want to build a count as cypher anyway. Also may want to do a squad of his cypher buddies as count as whatever that one excommunicated BA chapter was. Having 4 special weapons is super tasty. Plunk them down with 4 plasma guns with stubborn sounds really nice. Wonder what kind of transport I can put them in .

Jolemai Posted March 6, 2017 Author Share Posted March 6, 2017 Should probably add that not only is it one of the older guides, but a lot of the following discussion is subsequently irrelevant following edition changes and FAQs, etc. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/297201-ba-today/page/211/#findComment-4674651 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slothysaur Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Made up a Dante kit bash last night. Going to prime him up soon, but will hold off on anything else until I can get a proper painting station.
