Normally my Iron Hands perform ok, so I kept the majority of that force intact, but wanted to try some Blood Angels allies. At first glance Dante sounds like a beast and the Sanguinary Guard look great.. Does anyone have any feedback on them? Are the masks worth it? The plan would be to bring down Dante with the Guard and/or if my command squad is up against something that they could get stuck with in combat, he could join them to help with hit and run. It also seems nice that the Guard scores.
Is there a more optimal small Blood Angels force I should consider that anyone can recommend? Does anyone find the Sanguinary Guard and Dante competitive, because I've never used them and on paper they seem pretty great.
Thanks In advance for the opinions!
