THE CURRENT STATUS OF DANTE! CHAPTER MASTER OF THE BLOOD ANGELS

[@KaikuPen]

*Dante visits a watch fortress, sees a Lamenters pauldron on the wall and sighs.* “Lucky bastard…”

[@olivermarrero5054]

-Calistarius: ...the procedure will kill you. -Dante: Sign me up 😂😂😂

[@CryingCreeperMLG]

Calling Mephiston Calistarius is like calling Dante Luis. We don't do that here.

[@BandOfHarjaps]

Mephistion: ... But you might survive. And live for unimaginably longer...

[@The_Libationist]

Dante waking up on the operating table: “Damn it.”

[@servalkorion686]

You know damn well Calistarius is a totally different person at this point. We don't disrepect Mephiston like that.

[@Thiccyg]

Giving Mephiston the same amount of disrespect as Kabanda did is crazy

[@FormerGovernmentHuman]

Dante just living his best life, while wishing he wasn’t.

[@rerako4755]

Dude is living life like a candle, so bright that he wishes it would burn out already.

[@synergy793]

Right. He was thinking I was literally about to rest

[@andrewmeyer2926]

Living his best "fuck my life".

[@razeandruin299]

"May you live in interesting times" Dante meeting two returned Primarchs: "F*ck"

[@VarroTigurius-u1f]

Hes been a Chapter Master longer than the Primarchs were in charge of their Legions/Chapters. Arguably he may even be more "experienced" than the Primarchs at leading.

[@Ally.Cat.252]

“Don’t do the Primaris surgery, it will kill you…” bro I’m literally dying right now…

[@chrisbennett6236]

Astartes Dante was a beast despite his age. Primarus Dante is going to be a monster.

[@TheBitingBat]

Dante: "Please I just want to die I've been fighting for millennia." Lion: "Imma need you to help me secure imperium nihilus and become a primaris." Dante: "... F*ck"

[@Dante130666]

Cant wait for Dante to finally die and when he accepts his fate , Emperor shows himself like Sanguinius did. Tells him its not time yet and makes him perpetual lol 😢😅😂

[@Myztek26]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 that feels like it would be so messed.

[@GamingMafia_id]

More like welcoming him: "you're a perpetual, Son of Sanguinius. Welcome to the club" ~Big E

[@minatodroger7890]

😂😂😂😂😂 yooo i can see this happening

[@kevinoliver3083]

Crossing the Rubicon was a win-win situation for Dante. If he survived he would be revitalised, if he didn’t his Duty was done.

[@timexyemerald6290]

I bet you. Dante felt lost when he survived it cause his Duty still not ended yet 😂

[@toolboy3555]

When I read Son of the Forest, I remember feeling pissed right along side the Lion at Dante. My first thought was, WTF is he thinking wearing that face to meet the Lion? Then, I thought if he hadn't, then he wouldn't have been able to wear it again. Dante's story is so captivating. I haven't read everything Dante yet, but what I have read, has made me a Huge Dante fan. I thought we would get to see more of him in the Dawn of Fire series, but there is still one book left. Maybe we get the trifecta of a Guilliman, Lion, Dante, reunion???? That would be a good read.

[@Copium5000]

Get devastation of Baal and darkness in the blood. Parts 2 and 3 of the trilogy. The first one is either the book ‘Dante’ or shied of Baal , havnt found them yet. The first 2 I mentioned are really great books

[@FlamesofJagger]

​@@Copium5000 Dante is the first part of that trilogy

[@rerako4755]

Two uncles trying to help a depressed orphaned nephew sounds like a good story.

[@toolboy3555]

@@rerako4755 Damn bro, you ok??

[@The_Elite_Emerald]

Can we stop for a moment give Dante some credit, he managed to hit Angron hard enough that even though he parried the attack he was staggered by it, sure Dante was sent careening into the floor with enough force to break stone, but I can’t think of another marine who could Leroy Jenkins himself at Angron and live to tell the tale, let alone off balance Khorne’s greatest warrior.

[@byronlee-wi3zv]

Dante will only ever die in battle and a new wave of black rage will wash over the Blood Angel Chapter. His funeral precession will be one of the biggest in history, with many chapter masters and maybe even a primarch or two in attendance.

[@VarroTigurius-u1f]

Didnt Cawl cure the "defects" with Primaris/Rubicon?

[@kevinoliver3083]

​@@VarroTigurius-u1f Not so much Cawl, but his acolytes and Chapter Apothecaries have refined the Rubicon procedure. It is still a risk, but most Firstborn who undergo it survive.

[@hoppuro]

@@kevinoliver3083he’s talking about the defects that various legion’s geneseeds have(black rage, red thirst, and etc)

[@hoppuro]

⁠@@VarroTigurius-u1fhe said he did but in recent lore it is revealed that the primaris procedure wasn’t as successful as it should’ve been

[@dhianbona8956]

​@@VarroTigurius-u1f red thirst maybe but Black Rage happened not because of gene seed defect..... it is psychic defect that happened after Horus slain Sanguinius

[@TheBigExclusive]

Dante Status: Still Alive. Still miserable.

[@bluesoystercultist7164]

Roboute needs to give Dante at least an entire year of paid vacations. This damn job has made him suicidal like a Kriegsman

[@GamingMafia_id]

Wait till he find out he's a perpetual lol

[@bloodofsanguinius4222]

I love seeing the Angels come together as a reunion after their split before the siege of terra

[@steelshoe7606]

Probably the worst thing that could happen to Dante is to get interred into a dreadnought. When the times come, let him die on the battle field.

[@nobody8717]

Why? Being entombed into a Dreadnought is one of the highest forms of respect that can happen to a warrior who has proven his mettle. Only the weak and meek get passed up for the honor.

[@steelshoe7606]

@@nobody8717 it is, but for how long Dante has served, a proper honorable death is something he has longed for and wanted to earn. Not just a, let's put you in sleep mode tell we need you. He would be denied his proper rest. Aren't most marines that are dreadnought only served maybe a couple hundred years, to were Dante has probably over existed even the Emporer idea of how long space marines should be around for.

[@2012sonora]

Sanguinius already said "no" to that.

[@seandixon5737]

​@@2012sonorait would be fucked up if he is somehow a perpetual

[@kingjoshwa1]

I think Lord Commander Dante will be the cover model of the Imperium’s next monthly calendar.

[@eugenebelford9087]

Dante to the BA works council: "I've been working 24/7 for this bloody company for years now - even on sundays. Do you even know how much vacation entitlement I've massed up? If I decide to head into Federation space and spend some time on planet Risa, then this is just my choice and my choice alone. And if I want to waste my anniversary donation on nice massages and a facelift, who are you to question that?! Daddy here needs some quality time." 😁

[@randomdude8202]

Well, he will have to time travel since both federation and risa is gone. Risa is a forge world now, not exactly a location for vocation

[@tjm11015]

Lionel- WHO ARE YOU TO WEAR MY BROTHER'S FACE!!! Dante-.......I.....am......ALPHARIUS!!!🐉

[@Carbonblak]

In the book "warriors and warlords"we get to read about what Uriel Ventris went through during his crossing of the Rubicon , I hope we get the same for Dante in the future .

[@kinesta]

Love my blood angels lore. Really really would love some detailed playlists to learn and sleep too haha

[@rauri87]

Am I losing my mind? I could swear I remember reading Dante crossed the rubicon after the battle with Angron. I put the change in his appearance in son of the forest down to him drinking blood again. Pretty sure it mentioned he looked younger after drinking blood following the devastation of baal.

[@davidmiddleton7958]

Hopefully, if we do get a novel of Dante crossing the Rubicon, the author does the story justice.

[@AdjudicatorBrbal]

Donte the only dude we know that want to die and openly show his actions of it. And his chapter and even their enemies give Donte plot armor and have a pact to make him stay alive. 😆😆😆😆

[@braindeadhoovy2562]

Reading Donte making me think of DMC and the mop lol

[@davidhannant451]

Yes dante needed it an would love to hear something about dante an azrael meet an chat

[@chrisfrombeyond4240]

The crossing may have extended his lifespan by another 1000 years at least.

[@GetsugaTensho85]

Im not sure if this is true, but I've heard that all Space Marines are technically immortal. If it wasn't for the constant wars they had to fight, they wouldn't even visibly age. The only reason they do is because of the trauma, be that in physical or mental form. I guess Primaris are even more extreme in this regard.

[@Man_Emperor_of_Mankind]

@@GetsugaTensho85 I’ve also seen claims like that, but question it do to how Sigismund was described during the First Black Crusade. The Black Legionnaires who had known Sigismund commented on his obvious aging and that he had slowed down (but only to the level that the Black Legionnaires could keep up). I think it was addressed pretty directly that Sigismund had aged purely because of time. I also look at it as being functionally immortal doesn’t necessarily mean that there is no physical evidence of age or that they do not still have a prime. They could just age slowly but indefinitely Even the Custodes degrade over time

[@daveharrison61]

​@@GetsugaTensho85 those claims were in the early stages of the Horus Heresy saga. I think it was Horus Rising. If I remember that correctly, then the oldest space marine would have been about three centuries. In 40k 2nd edition it was stated Dante had been chapter master for 1,100 years. Add at least 300-400 years to reach that rank... Dante could be five times the age of the oldest space marine still living in Horus Rising.

[@browniechann88blackie55]

There's an example of a salamander they found alone on a planet he was 5000 years old his body was just skin and bones he's just a regular marine I'm not sure if astartes have shown to be perpetuals

[@AdjudicatorBrbal]

These are the stories we need on Warhammer TV. The garbage they put on there now is heresy!!!

[@BlastastiC]

I enjoyed Son of the Forest quite a lot, but the meeting with Dante was disappointing. The dialog was a bit like "Welcome to The Warhammer 40,000 Lion El Jonson. Roboute Guilliman has returned with Primaris Intercessors, available online and from your friendly local game store at a 15% discount."

[@Matihood1]

I am very much looking forward to seeing artworks of the revitalized, primaris Dante.

[@livingghost7975]

Bro basically is leading the angels of death codex with the whole lion seconding a successor chapters to Dante’s direct command under the structure of fleet nihilus ( it’s mentioned in the codex )has to be one of the most insanely powerful warlords in the imperium with what Bobby g did and now the lion he’s swinging about legion numbers in both vessels and space marines. The only way he would ever die would be if GW were bringing his dad back.

[@jeremiahfielding283]

A space marine can never retire. Duty only ends in death. Dante is the most amazing of the chapter masters.

[@kevinoliver3083]

The nearest thing to retirement for a Space Marine is being assigned to non-combat roles. Usually when they have been maimed but do not require internment in a Dreadnougt to survive.

[@bertholdbach4959]

20 minutes to to arrive at the same question again. Yeah...

[@goonbuggy1135]

Dante looks younger cause he drained his house carl. This was stated in one of his books. So no, he hasnt crossed the rubicon.

[@bjrnhalfhand2258]

Didn't GW release a new Dante model in Primaris armour though?

[@trajanfidelis]

Since he's still alive he's probably not a happy camper

[@DrSomhairle]

And what of the Sanguinor, he and Dante are inexplicably linked! And he probably has already passed through the black rage. Could there be something in Sanguinius manifesting in Mephiston, Dante and the sanguinor

[@lightborn9071]

They are all somewhat fused with their Primarch's soul.

[@DrSomhairle]

@@lightborn9071 And thats why they never hug, because if they did then bam Sanguinius would pop into reality once more.

[@collfreeman6883]

Its gotta be the mutation of their gene seed right? lol. Where does all of this solid black hair come from? Being sons of the Angel and all.

[@QuantemFear]

Both the next blood angel novel and more info on the Lion and his next novel are things I am really Looking forward too. And of course the meeting of Guilliman and The Lion

[@FormerGovernmentHuman]

They are really making us wait for the greatest reunion of all time. Where is Guilliman right now? Did he just recently meet with Dante? Or did he just conclude the plague wars and is setting off to cross the rift? If he’s already crossed the rift for a second time where the hell is our reunion? Hard to pinpoint exactly where we are with novels ping ponging across the timeline.

[@steffenhenriksen6530]

Fan theory here: the sanguinor has only in recent times shown itself to Dante and meiphiston, what if.... Dante is the red rage and meiphiston is the black rage of sanguineous. And at some point a fusion will happen when the blood angels fight abbadon in his Flagship where sanguineous spirit lingers, and sanguineous resurrects, giving Dante the end he deserves.

[@jacobluden3903]

Part of me is worried that Dante actually died and this is a figurehead replacement lol

[@blindhamsterman1]

I wonder if the description of Dante in the lion novel is as much just a mistake. Seems like the fight with Angron would be the logical reason for him to cross the rubicon.

[@blindhamsterman1]

We actually know from the novel Dante that the moment he drinks blood, his skin tightens and some of his visible age is cast aside

[@memes_4_u13]

Yeah your videos are awesome man👍 keep up the good work

[@aclock2]

I think warning Dante that the procedure will kill him only make him want it more.

[@sivel7493]

I actually kinda wished Dante becoming Primaris due to getting smacked by Angron, but I was rather disappointed when I found out he was already Primaris then.

[@bobdrooples]

Dante and Mephiston give me Lone Ranger and Tonto vibes...but neither want to be Kemosabe.

[@slackeratlarge575]

Cool

[@yarran3511]

I personally think Dante should have become primaris after Angrons strike being in critical condition with the failing Body that was mentioned in "Darkness in the Blood" Just personal preference because the council was against it. Then put a reason like it is unlickely that Dante will survive the dreadnought placement because of his damaged body and the wounds he suffered from the devastation that primaris has an higher probability let the council argue and discuss and then let him cross Just for sanguinius to throw him back into his mortal body xD

[@waynegoddard4065]

How very dare you?

[@draculwalker1892]

The best 🩸🤘🏻 legend! Can’t wait to see what’s next !

[@alexmartin3143]

Cant he just jump in to a star or something? His soul would get nabbed?

[@andrewwightman8066]

May be he should be allowed to retire being presented with tho holy pipe and slippers spend his retirement growing blood orange's lol

[@nobody8717]

The Silver Skulls could kick the living crap out of the Blood Angels, or any other chapter, for that matter.

[@nathanthom8176]

Nope, because the Emperor would never give the go ahead and as such they would never act.

[@RSBurgener]

I think the latest chapter of Dante's story is long overdue. Why bother constructing it so well up until this point and then hand wave the Rubicon portion? It's been a disappointment to me.

[@eugenebelford9087]

It's quite obvious how the relation between Dante and the Dark Angels will evolve: The Lion and his kin will eff it up as per usual. Maybe some orbital bombardment on a BA successor chapter, because they somehow learned about the Fallen. Or maybe the break into the Golden Sarcophagus, because a rumour has it that Luther is hiding there ... something along the well known lines of behaviour the DA always display. And in the end Dante has to call uncle Roboute and he will come over and put the little dark angel back into his naughty corner on the rock. 😁

[@mistercmartin]

I call them the Dick Angels for a reason. Hell, Lion El'Jonson has a euphemism for dick in his name, Jonson! They really are the Dick Angels with a Dick for a primarch!

[@martinjohnson2381]

Yo bro, if you keep telling people to read the books before watching you're video then people aren't going to watch the video at all, like the only reason we're here is cause we don't have time or don't want to read. All I'm saying is your really shooting yourself in the foot by saying that.
