The '''Ultramarines Honour Guard''' is a highly elite group of [[Space Marine]]s unique to the [[Ultramarines]] [[Space Marine]] [[Chapter]]. In battle they act either as a group or as squad leaders. Each bears an [[Axe of Ultramar]], potent weapons constructed from a rare metal found on [[Prandium]]. Only the most courageous of the Ultramarines ever come close to earning this honour, and then only some of them will achieve it. They are responsible for guarding the Chapter's ancient banner, the [[Banner of Macragge]]. Members of the Honour Guard are dispersed throughout the Chapter's [[Space Marine Company|companies]]. When the banner is taken into battle by a company, a squad will be formed from the company's Honour Guard members.{{Fn|1}} In battle, the Honour Guard Squad numbers between two and seven Honour Guards as well as the [[Company Standard Bearer|Chapter Ancient]] (Bearer of the Chapter Banner) and the [[Chapter Champion]]. 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 [[Powered weapon]]s and artificer armour. They may be mounted in a [[Rhino]], [[Razorback]] or [[Land Raider]]. They may also replace a single unit in a [[Space Marine Command Squad|Command]], [[Tactical Squad|Tactical]] or [[Devastator Squad]].{{Fn|1}}
