Grail Knight Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Hello. Perhaps this question is already answered, but I look around, and I did not find the answer... So, I know that the Sanguninor and Mephiston cannot join units, not a tactical, nor an assault squad, not a sanguinary guard... The question is about Honor Guards I use 4 or 5 times the Sanguinor, and two mephiston, and I always send them with an Honor guard, either with jumpacks, or inside a razorback, and so far, nobody complains I stop using them for a while, in order to use armies with more models, but a few days ago, a friend call me cheater, and then, he corrects, and call me 'bar rules reader' He says that them cannot join units, and when I told him that I use HG, the discussion begins... the question is simple, can they go to battle with an HG? can Mephiston go in a razorback (or any other transport) with his own HG? thanks!

Deschenus Maximus Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Nope. The HG is an entirely separate unit, therefore neither Sanguinor nor Mephi can join them. Sorry.

evileyevirtue Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 The FAQ clearly states that Mephiston and the Sanguinor are both single model units. Units cannot join units for any reason, as there is no rule for that. As to whether you can put Mephy and a unit into a transport, take a look at p. 66 BRB under Transport Capacity, second paragraph. Remember... Mephy and and the Sanguinor are both UNITS, not independent characters.

JamesI Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Honor Guards are not Retinues, they are separate units unlocked by taking an HQ. So while taking Mephiston or the Sanguinor allows you to buy an Honor Guard, you can't put them together. Mephiston can enter a transport, but no other models could be in it.

Brother_Mike Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Just because they are an Honor Guard to that character doesn't mean the character HAS to join them. For all intensive purposes, you take them for special weapon spam and a priest bubble.

Zealadin Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Easy mistake to make, alot of people had issues when the codex first came out! I actually had a similar issue the other day, with two people arguing about someone placing a farseer and warlock retinue on the board in DoW, with the arguement being that warlocks are a seperate choice and so have to be placed later. Of course in this case warlocks are a retinue. On the bright side you can still chuck Mephy in a fast rhino :teehee: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/223894-about-sanguinor-mephiston-the-honor-guard/#findComment-2678856 Share on other sites More sharing options...
