Honor guard question

Recommended Posts

Yeah I was looking at them as a tank/mc killing unit. One more question the blood champion in the FAQ it is not specific as to if he must have a sword, would it be legal then to give him a maul or axe? ( I love me some blunt force trauma) :)

 

This is the line I was referring to

 

In the bestiary and army list, replace all references to “power sword” with “power weapon”.

If it's a power weapon then its a WYSIWYG question. not 100% sure but I think it has to be a sword or axe...might want to check the 40K rulebook for clarification though.

 

On the tank busting: They are a lot of fun, can come with there own priest and if you add a librarian can re roll plasma gun shots(bye bye get's hot!)

No, the Codex says power weapon and thus can be any power weapon including mace and spear as long as it is modeled accordingly.

 

The FAQ only restricts Sanguinary Guard to axes and swords, but that may be because the kit does not come with maces or spears.

Maces make great anti-tank weapons. My old BT chaplain used to run around with a S7 Mace hunting IG tanks solo. True he was essentially EW back then, had 6 Attacks, and could take down Phoenix Lords in Single Combat, but I digress.

I'm just finishing my own Honour Guard squad now and it's got 4 Brothers with plasma-guns so I will obviously second that idea, haha! Coming with a priest and that firepower is too awesome I think.

 

(And help with my Necron problem me hopes >_>)

Slightly off topic here, but with the honor guard bringing a FnP and FC bubble I was wondering how heavily do your saturate your lists with sanguinary priests?

I generally run 1 priest (or Honor Guard squad).  Most of the time I have a jump priest or Corbulo depending on the rest of my list.
