Mudpuppet Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Hi, Are honour guard models just "Space Marine Command Squad" models with jump packs fitted or are there dedicated models somewhere that im not looking?

Fata1ly Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Ello I'm pretty sure they are. My Honor guard came from a command squad box and some bits i had laying around. You don't have to give them jump packs thou. Will Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/208755-honour-guard-models/#findComment-2490719 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leardinal Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 You can build them out of anything. Mine are made from the Sanguinary guard kit, part of the Command Squad kit, parts from the DC kit, and some terminator shields for hip armor. Here they are Note: My priests have special fluff and does not have the drill thing Picture: From left: Blood Champion, Chapter Banner Bearer with Power Fist, two Veterans, and the white on is the Novitiate.

Brother Theophantus Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 GW used to do a specific BA Honor Guard box but not anymore so these days you can just cobble one together out of bits like the new DC and Sang Guard boxes as long as its WYSIWYG.

Well thats partly the problem. Getting a mix of melta guys and regular chappies with chainsword bolt pistols. Might have to mix in some tactical squad guys with jump packs for the melta troopers. Cheers for the replies. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/208755-honour-guard-models/#findComment-2490789 Share on other sites More sharing options...
donnyb Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Melta guns are pretty easy to find through bitz sellers. I bought 4 meltas, used DC, and RAS to build mine. They are magnetised so I can give them any weapon options I want. Painting them up now, should be finished some time next month...painting is such slow going these days. :cuss Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/208755-honour-guard-models/#findComment-2490889 Share on other sites More sharing options...
vharing Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 I managed to get the last box of BA honor guard at my local store before GW stopped selling them. The kit had a priest which you can now get by himself, a tech adept torso (pg 78 C:BA), pewter banner and arm, pewter plasmagun and 1 sprue of assault marines. The banner and tech adept are pretty cool, but the whole thing is not worth the money I paid for it.
