cool models... wonder if it'd be worth it?
HQ:
Dante
Elite:
3 priests - jump packs and power axe
Troops:
5 Sanguinary guard - power fist, 3 infernus pistols 5 Sanguinary guard - power fist, 3 infernus pistols 5 Sanguinary guard - power fist, 3 infernus pistols 5 Sanguinary guard - power fist, 3 infernus pistols 5 Sanguinary guard - power fist, 3 infernus pistols 5 Sanguinary guard - power fist, 4 infernus pistols, death masks, chapter banner (where Dante hangs out)
2,000 points, 34 models.... 31 of which have a 2+ save...
bouncy terminators could still be fun I think.... but I'm guessing dropping a unit or two for some baal predators and such might be more worthwhile...

i liked dante we was my guy. in the new edition he now has a power axe so is now int one which i liked his high int. but the way your kitting them out you dont care about int your taking a lot of axes and power firsts so... The thing is your are taking masks in dante's unit where as dante has a mask him self making taking the masks unless really.

Drop the death masks as Dante already has one and use the points to add power fists to the priests instead of the axes.

ah, wasn't sure about the mask thing...
...I just thought they looked cool on the model... lol
thoughts about full nipple-wing as opposed to mixed with armor?
my other option I was thinking of would look something like:
HQ:
Dante
Troops:
5 sanguinary guard - 2 infernus pistols, power fist 5 sanguinary guard - 2 infernus pistols, power fist 5 sanguinary guard - 2 infernus pistols, power fist 5 sanguinary guard - 3 infernus pistols, 2 power fists, chapter banner (dante's dudes)
Elite:
3 Sanguinary priests - jump packs, power fist (in each of the non-dante squads Furioso dreadnought with blood talons in drop pod
Fast:
Baal predator with flamestorm cannon Baal predator with flamestorm cannon Baal predator with flamestorm cannon

The mixed version doesn't have enough models to avoid being torrented off the table.
Otherwise it could work. MCs and Plasma spam are just your worst nightmare tho.

yeah 2+ / FNP is pretty darn survivable... but something about 24 dudes being all my guys seems a little bit frightning to me (too many horde armies!)
I've see terminators just rock armor saves all day... and I've also seen them just fall over and die!
hmmm I could also do a combined force with allies... keeping the sanguinary guard from version two, and adding it to my Karamazov/terminators/vindicare subbed out for the Baal predators...

Yeah exactly shannon.
I once had 5 WG termies and a priest vs tom, and he took out 4 termies and the priest within bolters and plasma in 1 shooting phase. The last guy made 7x 5+ invuls and 15x 2+ saves and kept on fighting that squad killing 1 at a time for 6 combat phases ans survived to contest an objective.
The first list with 34 dudes I like much more, but I agree with tom you need to embed some power fists. I wouldn't put them on the priests tho, since they can be challenged out, where as the regular nipple dudes cannot.

hmmm and the regular sang guard get the fists for less than half the cost!
I keep going back to my thoughts about my 500 points of grey knights though looking for some bros... this could be them maybe?
also I'm thinking jump packs ups the survivability factor as well given they can get to where they're going alot faster... not that I've ever played jump termies, but that's the thought in my brain... which is probably just giving me reasons to do this... lol....

Well, if you decide to try/build it let me know, I've got about 30 regular jump packs, and 10 special (modelled like Dante's JP) ones, as well as a ton of BA bits. Between what Me and Tom probably have laying around you probably get your pick of the litter.

I'd certainly be interested in talking to you about that Dany

i will say i love the vindicare assassin, i like its rules and the model its just awesome even when i wasn't playing grey knights he was always in my army case. He also dies half if not more of the games i play, its just if he take more points with him or takes the shooting that were going to go else were. he is the only ranged shooting you have other then orbital strikes (which you can't do if you move).
ill say on the grey knight terminators i like 90% halberds with a banner and a couple hammers thrown in for good measure, don't forget the psycannon guy can take a sword/halberd/hammer also (on terminators all those options are free)

karamazov is relentless so he fires on the move just fine... terminators are already modeled (I built them based on wanting a cool mix of weapons rather than giving actually any thought whatsoever as to what was better... lol.... I'll learn sometime... I honestly will... yeah, probably not) I'm really hating the regular dude heads on the sanguinary guard though... sigh... I'm going to have to either free up 100 points for death masks (unlikely to be a good investment) or source other head options on the net or in the bitz box... think I'm looking at the latter...
