Captain Artemis Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 My question is: Can I give him a Power fist? I'm working on my command squad for my captain for BA. Or is the Standard Bearer only issued with a bolt pistol or boltgun? Just wondering, as he is a Veteran. :s And it would be cool if he had like a Power Fist on his left hand and the standard in the right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vharing Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 The only member of the HG that cant take anything in the noviate. Everyone else is free to take whatever wargear is listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamaNagol Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Yes. You buy an Honour Guard a Standard as a piece of wargear. He doesn't change status like a Blood Champion or a Sanguinary Novitiate. So they can have 2 weapons AND the Banner if you wish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Artemis Posted January 22, 2011 Author Share Posted January 22, 2011 Thanks alot, then my Standard Bearer will look heroic after all. So nice to be member of a know-it-all community. ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plague Angel Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 I modeled mine with bolter and storm shield. Weapons are nice, but more than anything I want him to survive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Artemis Posted January 22, 2011 Author Share Posted January 22, 2011 Also... Another quick question... Is it possible to... Like... field a veteran with both a Power Fist and another close-combat weapon? oo' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maalis Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 I think so.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quixus Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Also... Another quick question...Is it possible to... Like... field a veteran with both a Power Fist and another close-combat weapon? oo' Yes, but why would you want to do that? Only another Power Fist earns you the additional attack in CC. If you replace the bolt pistol with the fist instead of the chainsword, you can no longer shoot and still only get 2 PF attacks. I'm not sure if you could take two S4 attacks at I4.

SamaNagol Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Yes, but it is a waste. You HAVE to attack with a special weapon if you have one. So you may as well give them a Power Fist and a Bolter or a Shield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitefireinferno Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 I thought you sorta can, you can not choose to make a CC attack with a Pistol while having a Fist however I thought you could If you had a Proper CCW and a Fist for options. I could be wrong however but that is how I thought that rule went. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong however but that is how I thought that rule went. It has to be a special CCW. Say a character with a fist and a lightning claw could pick which to use each round. My last HG ran a standard bearer with a power fist and a meltagun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabgoi Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Actually I kind of like the idea of a standard bearer with a power fist, but using the power fist hand to hold the standard. It would leave the other hand free to shoot, and holding a standard would not stop a marine from back handing some ignorant scum that is charging him. Or using the lower half of a chaos space marine as an impromptue banner stand by smashing his chest with the power fist that is holding the banner. I seem to think I have seen it somewhere, but if not I may have to do it with one sometime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamaNagol Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 There's been 2 standard bearer models holding the banner pole with power fists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabgoi Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 I thought it was something along those lines, but I was not able to find any on the gw website. They must all be out of print. Granted, I have two standard bearers, and neither is in print right now. But thanks to your comfirmation Sama I am going to have to spend some time on ebay looking for one, or some fun with green stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin2008 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 You could always re-model the banner so the pole is going through a dead chaos space marine (standing up (falling down to the ground)) That would look awesome ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitefireinferno Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Oh there is my Standard Bearer from my BAPC Vow :D complete with Melta and Fist http://i991.photobucket.com/albums/af31/Litany_of_hate/VOW%20COMPLETE/018.jpg God My honour Guard is useless For play but is good for sitting on my shelf and looking Pretty.

Syagrius Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 My Company standard bearer uses the body of a tactical squad sergeant (from the first multi-part plastic marines) with bolt pistol, the power fist from the commander box and his standard is the commander's back banner. I liked the dramatically-posed power fist that the commander comes with and having the back banner really stands out amongst terrain, other marines etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLACK BLΠFLY Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 You might as well kit the standard bearer with a stormshield if you want to survive your games longer. I run mine with a thunderhammer and stormshield. G :devil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabgoi Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Well, the problem with modelling it thru a chaos space marine would be with the size of the model's base. You would basically have to model them both leaning pretty good in order to fit both on the same base, otherwise you may have issues with rules sticklers. Enlarging the base can be seen as trying to gain an advantage. Though you could always say screw it, put it on a dread base and make it just for the sake of doing so. Come to think of it... For coolness factor you could even make it a dead chaos terminator... If you use a metal one it would need some sawing and such, plus some green stuff so he lies properly flat, but that would be pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
