I thought the Sanguinor only started appearing after Sanguinius' death at Horus...

Counts as Sanguinius and Dante as Azkaellon.

Ok that makes sense, I see the original post has been editited.

Seems pretty good, but I think you put Land Raiders instead of Speeders. ;) Only thing Id change is PFs on the preists, as theyre vulnerable you may not want them swinging last... maybe PW and then throw some melta bombs around?

Good point i was thinking that too since its easier to model as well.

I would cut the 2 sergeant plasma pistols to give the Sanguinary Guard Infernus pistols. Also, I don't remember if I Pistols are 10 or 15 pts for Sang Guard, but if they are 10, give them a pfist too. Other than that, looks really fun to play!

Eh can't say the exact point cost with the GW Overlords around so lets just say its Melta bombs + Infernous pistols because i had 2 in my bitz box :P

Maybe try and squeeze a priest in there? It would be helpful with FNP

Infernus pistols cost 10 points for Sanguinary Guard.

I would also think about adding a fist to the Sanguinary Guard as well, never know when you'll need one.

I think paying 230 for the priests is way too much as people seriously go out of their way to kill them at every opportunity they can. I can see giving maybe a 15 point upgrade, but dont give you opponents even more reason to take them out.

I think the Sanguinius and Azkaellon idea is awesome, and it sounds like a really good modeling opportunity as well.
When running Dante its always a good idea to make the most of his precision deep strike and hit and run abilities; try playing a test game where you take him in an honor guard with 4 melta guns and see how you like that.

When running the Sanguinor, one of his greatest strenghts is simply the +1 attack bonus. I would like to see less SGT upgrades and more bodies to flood the field.

you should post up some pictures of this army, I'd love to take a look at your Azkalleon conversion!
