Commander Dante Gets A Primaris Upgrade For Warhammer 40K

Games Workshop have revealed a better look at the new miniature for Commander Dante of the Blood Angels. He is going to be soaring into your games of Warhammer 40,000, looking to stick it to Chaos!

The new miniature for Dante is very similar to the old one in terms of style. His very bespoke Mark X armour has been crafted by the greatest artificers in the Imperium and he still carries his Perdition Pistol and the Axe Mortalis into battle. A shining gold beacon on the battlefield for his brothers in arms.

I don't mind the new design for Dante and I think they've done a decent job of updating the classic sculpt to match the size and scale of the Primaris. The one thing I don't like about the miniature is the pose. It seems very uninspired and as if he could just be any other Space Marine with a jetpack.
I think it would have been awesome to see him crashing into the ground beneath him, the axe raised as if he is about to cut someone in two. With this sculpt, we don't really get an idea of what he's doing. A missed opportunity perhaps.
Are you going to be picking up Dante for Warhammer 40,000 and the Blood Angels?

While otherwise nice I am not too fond at his new primaris style jump pack and his standing on rock pose.
Gotta respect the flex from the ‘Eavy Metal team to paint Dante in the same NMM gold armo0ur that they’ve been using since they first created Captain Tycho back in the mists of Rogue Trader. Respect it, then say “Feth No” and dig out Retributer Armour like a sane person 😀
Hes going to trip over that dick towel isn’t he?
Pretty sure that pose is an attempt to replicate/capture the pose of the original. He’s always had that sort of weird pose, at least now he’s actually “flying”
I love it. Genuinely good reinterpretation of the original.
The original was one of the first character models I painted for my brother using Humbrol enamel paints! To be fair their gold over white metal looked incredibly nice – not sure I would try it again in case the paint melted the plastic!
