Blood Angels Take On The Bugs - The Battle of Baal

[@OljeiKhan]

Before i read the excerpt of the fight between the Swarmlord and Dante i thought it was ridicilous to have him slay THE apex Hive Tyrant so easily. I recommend everyone to go read it. SPOILERS . At the end of the fight Dante was dying, his jumppack was unresponsive, his armor was unpowered. He had suffered wounds that would most likely be his end. Most or all of his honour guard were slain trying to give him a 1v1. The beast was most likely going to devour him in extreme gory fashion so he was point blank with it's face. But Dante's inferno pistol had another idea, one wich involved melting the face off of the creature. In the aftermath, Dante gave in to death and that's where we get the "Dante wanted release but Sanguinius or Sanguinor gave a vision to Dante and told him not yet" bit.

It's a good example of pretty spectacular plot armor. Plus it's not like Swarmlord is actually dead as he's just reconstituted later from a pool of goo. Truly the circle of life.
