Brother Mayhem Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Hey all, I'm looking at sticking some Honor Guard in my Counts As Black Templar force. Have any of you got any pictures/examples of awesome Honor Guard? I think mine will be armed with 2x Maul, 2x Axe, Thunder Hammer and Chapter Banner. Cheers!

Razblood Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Here's my Flesh Tearer one from a while ago. Pretty much made them out of bits I had lying around, much like the rest of that army :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/284574-how-do-you-do-your-honor-guard/#findComment-3547253 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarl of Wulfen Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I use the legs, head, and some weapons arms from a grey knights box with the torsos from the black Templar kit. I don't have pictures readily available Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/284574-how-do-you-do-your-honor-guard/#findComment-3571783 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penguin of Death Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 As above I want to use converted Grey Knights, or possibly Palatine Blades, though they are obviously more expensive.

Imperialis_Dominatus Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Since the only of my DIY Chapters I've collected to any degree are the Angels Ascendant, I suppose I would use Sanguinary Guard models. They're ornate enough, that's for sure. Command Squad, Commander, Dark Angels Vets/Ravenwing stuff, Death Company, Chaos (for older mark arms with gloves, older weapons). Or converting character models. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/284574-how-do-you-do-your-honor-guard/#findComment-3573024 Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvmoogy Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 I've used a metal Veterans box I bought from our favourite on-line auction site (the set with the big 2-headed axe) and I am using Deathwatch bolt guns to set them off a bit against standard marines. I am also going to use some Vanguard Power Weapons to fill them out. I also have a SM Captain from the 2008 Games Day (the Thunder Hammer one) which will be my Chapter Champion. As for a standard bearer, not got that far ahead yet!

Lord Commander Scrymgeour Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Sanguinary guard wing as a shield, grey knights torso and legs, death company jump pack, variety of paldrons Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/284574-how-do-you-do-your-honor-guard/#findComment-3573182 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Any particular kits you guys recommended I get to make some honor guard?? I'm currently working on some Honour Guard too, and like others have used the Sanguinary Guard legs and torsos. It's not too much work to remove the Blood Angel iconography. Aside from general bits box stuff I'm pretty much raiding the new plastic veteran boxes for bits. They provide fancy weapon arms - Vanguard especially as you'd expect - and lots of detailed shoulder pads and helmets to pick from. Sadly mine are on temporary hold at the moment as I work on other things and try and decide what poses I want for them! That may well have to change after seeing the ideas here... I know it's not an option now but what did you use to create the grenade launchers Disruptor as they look really cool?

Peredyne Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I'm planning to use the Sternguard kit with bolters and power weapons for my honor guard.

I used Anvil Industry grenade launchers (I had actually the older version which didn't come with alternative grenades) with some cutting, Anvil Industry scopes, and Tigrus pattern bolters.

WarriorFish Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Thanks for that Disruptor, I'm using the fancy master crafted bolters for my Honour Guard and am considering modding them a bit to give them a bit more variety.

Sigvard Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I used the new GW Vanguard Vets kits for my Storm Wardens - They are dynamically posed and look super sweet when you kit them out. Currently I have mine with 3 Swords and 2 Axes Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/284574-how-do-you-do-your-honor-guard/#findComment-3576087 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WispyLurk3r Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Planning on making a honor guard for my chapter master.Here is what it would be in my army list: Chapter Master: The Armour Indomitus, Power Sword, Storm Bolter, digital weapons, Auspex, melta bombs, Total: 230 pointsHonor Guard:1 Chapter Champion, 5 Honor Guard.Honor guard with Storm Bolters + bolt pistols for range weapons, 1 lightning claw, 1 power fist, 3 power swords and the Standard of the Emperor Ascendant.Chapter Champion with Power weapon, bolter and bolt pistol. Drop pod. Total: 325 pointsI want them to look more ornate than an ordinary command squad so i am thinking of building them using the sternguard veteran kit as the base for them and equipping them, spare command squad kit weapons, spare captain kit weapons and some extra sternguard storm bolters and a Finecast Emperor's Champion for thechapter champion with a bolter added to him somewhere.I have already ordered the extra sternguard storm bolters, command squad banner + weapons and ill order the champion to be delivered to my local store in 2 days, ill probably buy the sternguard later.

Jeff Newton Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Also look at the power weapons in the vanguard vet kit. It comes with all of the options for all of the guys.
