Who do you think brings more to the table in terms of a DOA army? Obviously Dante has no deviation and H&R but Sanguinor brings 1A aura and can take some fire (which can help alleviate some from other squads) both have a debuff/buff respectively which are opposite things but to the exact same stats. Both are CC beasts and i am just looking for as much input as possible!

In my experience Dante's tactical precision is vital to drop in and remove something nasty like a demolisher or the like. And Dante can hide in a unit, not so for our friend the sanguinor.

Dante with his deathmask as well (if it can even be used) comes in at a cheaper cost and is more survivable due to being in a unit. Far better, but the Sanguinor looks so much cooler...

The snaguinor synergizes well with Vanguard as they drop in and assault he gives them more attacks. then afterwards you form a phalanx around him and column attack whats left of your opponent, add a chapter banner in here as well for epic lulz. However he's expensive and tends to get singled out A LOT. People see the big shiny sanguinor model and say "I want to kill it!"

I won't deny he's a stylish motherfether however

I have actually been hearing that they both go well in the same list but that is super expensive 500 for 2 guys

Faced it. Was pretty strong. Roughly:

Sang
Dante, leading squad of sanguinary guard tooled up with a sang priest AND a reclusiarch with power fist
10 assault marines w/th & ss sgt, 2x melta, sang priest
10 assault marines w/th & ss sgt, 2x melta
5-6 vanguard

Five characters, four squads. Not a lot of units, but packed with hitting power.

You're friend must have been using a chaplain not a reclusiarch as he already had his 2 hq choices other than that, his list is sort of similar to mine

Ive had great success with both the Sang and Dante.

Sang always seems to be a great distraction to enemy firepower, and greatly helps the masses the jumppackers i like to field for troops.

Dante on the other hand is nice cause i always run Sang guard, so having them count as troop is great along with the scatterless deep strike really can ruin an opponents day/ turn the tide of a battle.

Just want to add that I'm sure wanting to run both at the same time is great in some situations, but that's just too much of a point sink for me. Just my personal feeling on that.
