Character Focus: Lord Dante

History:
In the closing days of the 41st Millennium, heroes like Dante are points of light in the growing darkness. He stands, as he has done for a millennium or more, between the enemies of Mankind and the Imperium.

As a leader, Dante is utterly fearless, and full of drive and initiative. If his opponents ever make a mistake, Dante is on it in a flash, and he always exploits their error to the fullest. He has a reputation for leading from the front and can usually be found where the battle is fiercest. Plummeting from the skies at the head of his personal bodyguard, a halo of power playing around his head.

War Gear:
Artificer Armour
Jump Pack
Death Mask of Sanguinius
Golden Halo
Axe Mortalis
Perdition Pistol

In Game Use:
While using Lord Dante in a regular battle, it is important to utilize his ability to deep strike with zero scatter. This will give you the opportunity to get close to the enemy and engage in close combat fairly easy. Dante also gives Sanguinary Guard units the ability to hold objectives.

He is especially good at close combat. Putting Lord Dante with a close combat unit will only intensify the effectiveness of the unit. Lord Dante also has the perdition pistol, very useful against tanks or heavier units right before a assault.

An army of 1500 or more is almost naked without Lord Dante in it. I have done a few battles without him in the list and the list was missing something. The list was missing that back-breaker unit with it's true commander, Lord Dante.

Note: This is my finished miniature of Dante. Let me know what you think of his paint-job. I took A LOT of time on this miniature. Lord Dante is the pride and joy of my Blood Angels army. I had to make sure he looked the best.

Thanks Guys!
