Honour Guard

[Lysere]

The one issue I see with that is that if you're firing your bolter you're not charging, which is the Honour Guard's main focus. And if you start throwing grenades around on the charge there's a chance the people you're charging will disappear, resulting in a failed charge, or maybe making your Chapter Master have to charge the nearest goon (nearest to nearest) instead of being able to charge the power weapon. Most of the time I'm content with just my bolt pistols before the charge, because most of their damage comes from combat.

 

Yeah I can understand that, but in the case of a drop pod army or as an Alpha strike unit combined with someone like Lysander they could potentially do a lot of damage to certain units. And since they are in a drop pod you can't charge on that first turn anyway.
