1Drop Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Ok so my honour guard Novitiate, what gear must he have and what can I arm him with and do I have to have I'm in my HG squad, can I just take 4 HG and leave him out or do I need him and what are the benefits of taking him, does he just act as a sang priest?

Glendor Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 He acts as a Sang priest without IC. You cannot give him any gear other than what he starts off with which i think is chain sword and bolt pistol. He is not an upgrade so you have to take him. BTW he is good so you would want him.

Cpt. Salvatore Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 He cannot be upgraded in any way so it is just bolt pistol/CCW or Bolter for this buddy, only a JP can be added. Also, he is an integral part of the squad so he cannot be targeted by enemy specifically like your other SP's but he also cannot leave the squad. He must be present in the squad as well. Simply, he is just a common member of the HG who's upgrade option was spent on the blood chalice he has. The lack of PW is crappy but otherwise, he is a VERY cool thing to have around as he is not a IC.

1Drop Posted April 11, 2011 Author Share Posted April 11, 2011 So I should just model him with a chainsword and a bolt pistol, no need for that apothecary arm thingy or anything?

Rybnick Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 You don't necesarily have to have his Narthecarium arm represented, it can be hard (and pricey) to find that bit sometimes. I'd say a bolt pistol and chainsword arm combo would be fine, just toss a few flashy bits with grails on him to denote his position and that should get the point across. It's really up to you how you want to represent his station, a white helmet or shoulder pad trim could do the trick too.

1Drop Posted April 11, 2011 Author Share Posted April 11, 2011 Yeah, I'm using the DA veteran kit to make my HG, there was supposed to be bits to create An apothecary in there but there wasn't (instead there is a crozius arcanum which I'm not comPlaining about) So yeah I think I'll use some of the DC bits with chalices on, other than that I'll paint them gold with crimson robes (scab red probably) and then use the DC jetpacks and I'm working on making a flamer/melta as you can replace both bolt pistol and chainsword (on regular HG) with one of each so a combination. Of both weapons will be the best Way to represent this I feel!

The Crimson Cartel Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 So I should just model him with a chainsword and a bolt pistol, no need for that apothecary arm thingy or anything? Drop, I kit bashed my Narth on my Sang Initiate. You can check him out in my WIP thread HERE Maybe you can use it for inspiration.
