Games Workshop Officially Reveals Primaris Dante: A First Look at the Iconic Blood Angels Leader

Hello everyone !!

Hot on the heels of yesterday's leak, Games Workshop has officially revealed the new Primaris Dante model. With the AdeptiCon event scheduled for next week, fans are eager to see what other surprises may be in store. In today's post, we'll take a closer look at the newly unveiled Dante model, discuss the Sanguinary Guard, and share some initial impressions of this new iteration of the legendary Blood Angels commander.

The reveal showcases Dante's impressive transformation into a Primaris Space Marine. His new model retains the iconic equipment we've come to associate with the character: the Death Mask of Sanguinius, the laurel wreath, and a refashioned Iron Halo. As expected, Dante wields his trusty Perdition Pistol and the Axe Mortalis, which have been upscaled to match his imposing new stature.

While the Primaris Dante model has been mostly well-received, some ppls have expressed disappointment with the face mask design and the gold non-metallic metal (NMM) painting. Opinions on these elements may vary, but it's always interesting to see how hobbyists react to new releases. I also don't like the mask or the painting ...

Unfortunately, the video reveal confirms that the Sanguinary Guard will not be receiving updated models at this time, as they are still using the old sculpts. This has left many fans feeling disappointed, as they had hoped for new, dynamic poses and updated aesthetics to match the new Dante model. Nevertheless, the existing Sanguinary Guard models remain popular among Blood Angels collectors, and we can always hope for an update in the future.

The official reveal of Primaris Dante has sparked excitement and discussion. While the new model has received some mixed feedback, it's undeniable that Dante's transformation into a Primaris Space Marine marks a new era for the Blood Angels.
As we eagerly await further news from AdeptiCon.
