They are armed with [[bolter]]s, Axes of Ultramar, [[frag grenade|frag]]s and [[krak grenade]]s. The Chapter Ancient is the bearer of the sacred Banner of Macragge and is entrusted with a suit of [[Artificer Armour]]. The Champion is equipped with [[Honour Blade]]s and artificer armour. They may be mounted in a [[Rhino]], [[Razorback]] or [[Land Raider]]. They may also replace a single unit in a [[Command Squad|Command]], [[Tactical Squad|Tactical]] or [[Devastator Squad]].<sup>1</sup>
==Notable Honour Guard==
*Commander of the Guard [[Aloysius]] - sacrificed his life to single-handily hold back the [[Swarmlord]] and its attending [[Tyrant Guard]] at Cold Steel Ridge during the [[Battle for Macragge]] to allow [[Marneus Calgar]], gravely sounded by the Swarmlord, to be evacuated off-world by the rest of his Honour Guard.<sup>2</sup>
