Who uses Victrix Honor Guard ?

[BLACK BLΠFLY]

I use one squad to tank wounds from my HQ. I’m seeing more batreps now where players are fielding more than one unit and use them for board control and melee... doesn’t worth it to me but wondering how others here use them.

The 60 pt, 2 man unit that comes with Calgar?

In my lists they are a wound tank for characters, and a blender for melee.

When I run them I use an Apothecary for resurrection and the Ultramarines banner for extra attacks.

Someone charges my command squad, the Victrix Heroically Intervene and lay down 12 power sword attacks with re-rolls galore.

I love em. But just 1 unit.

That’s pretty much how I run them as well... yes they are the new Primaris bodyguard. :)

I use them, they've come in handy during some situations and can be positioned defensively to counter potential charges.

 

They now cost 70pts unfortunately.

Is this unit actually able to throw their grenades since they are not equipped with shooting at all?

[BLACK BLΠFLY]

I believe so.

I’ve used them in a variety of situations.

 

 

Great wound tankers. You can actually make a mini feel no pain transfer (with a chief apothecary) wounds and heal combo with them if you take two squads and someone tries to hit whoever they are protecting.

 

Put two squads in an Impulsor. Drive up and improve your secondary scores for 2pts on turn two for things like recon and king of the hill. Easy way to get 2 squads into position plus the impulsor and whatever you have forward. They also make for good sappers that way. Plus they are not easy to dislodge.

 

I use their grenades as much as I can.
