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}}
The [[Victrix Honour Guard]] were an even more exclusive and elite group of [[Ultramarines]] than the '''Honour Guard''', that acted as bodyguards for high-ranking [[Ultramarines]]. Every member of the [[Victrix Guard]] has been part of the '''Honour Guard''', and they were handpicked for their selflessness.
