If you want some solid proof, GW released a novella for Space Hult 3rd edition to go with the game. In it you will found out what happens to each terminator in the board game.

Space Hulk 3rd editions fluff opens with the near annihilation of the Chapter at Secoris in 998.M40, the actual campaign in the game is the boarding of the Sin of Damnation 600 years later, during which they find an artifact that had been lost shortly after the Siege of Terra - that's probably where you're getting the Heresy era thing from.

Calistarius was only a Lexicanum during the boarding of the Sin of Damnation, that's the lowest rank of Librarian - one so low you can't even it field in 40k anymore - so I doubt he was more than a century or two old at the time, and he only became Mephiston during the 2nd Armageddon War which was less than 60 years ago.

Lorenzo was stated to have been over 650 years old at the time of the boarding of the Sin of Damnation, so if he were still alive he'd be of a similar age to Dante, but that's not unheard of - BA used to have a character named Cleutin who was so old he was 'rumoured to have been Dante's scout sergeant' (historical trivia: Lorenzo first appeared in Space Hulk 2nd edition - he wasn't on the Sin of Damnation campaign, but in the two subsequent campaigns: the first as a Sergeant and the second as the Captain in charge).

.

Sounds deep and thanks for the detailed info. But does this conclude that the terminators died on the sin of damnation or is sit just fabricated fluff of what was expected. Obviously all accept mephy.

Again does it conclude their fates in rock solid text format or is it mere speculation?

**Orblivion**

In the Space Hulk novel Lorenzo, Calistarius, Gideon, Noctis, Deino, Valencio, and Scipio survive. The timeline given by Gashrog is correct as well. It is also worth noting that Lorenzo was one of the 50 survivors of the previous Space Hulk incident, but there are no Blood Angels older than Dante.

How old is Dante again...???

**pm713**

He's a 1000 years old isn't he?

**Gashrog**

Older, he is quoted as having said that he has fought for 1100 years, but no date has been given for the quote. Lysander is at least 1500 years old and it's said that even he doesn't remember a time before Dante led the Blood Angels. Which contradicts Space Hulk assuming Commander Sangallo was then Chapter Master. (God I wish GW would stop pandering to the WAAA WAAA brigade and making every marine character immortal)

**kerikhaos**

So we know he's over 1000 years old yet Lysander quotes he doesn't remember the BA not being led by him. So in simple logic Dante existed before 1500 years plus that many years he had in the field before rising to lead. It's safe to bet that he's reaching near 2000 years old unless stated elsewhere in hard coded undeniable ink on papre
