Deploy the Ultramarines’ Most Elite Bodyguards to Protect Your Leaders

The Victrix Honour Guard represents the pinnacle of Ultramarines excellence – 1st Company veterans selected not only for their peerless martial skill but for their measured statecraft and selfless devotion to duty. These extraordinary warriors serve as personal bodyguards to the Chapter’s senior officers, gladly laying down their lives to ensure their charges survive to lead the Ultramarines to victory. This multipart plastic kit allows you to build three of these elite protectors, each a formidable warrior capable of devastating enemy forces while ensuring your most important characters remain effective throughout the battle.

Why the Victrix Honour Guard are Essential

• Dramatically increase the survivability of your key leaders and characters
• Add significant offensive power with master-crafted weapons and power axes
• Highly customizable with interchangeable components for personalized squads
• Build options include a Chapter Champion with Blades of Honour for devastating melee

The Warriors

Selection to the Victrix Honour Guard is among the highest honors an Ultramarine can achieve. These are not merely skilled fighters – they are warriors who have demonstrated exceptional judgment, unwavering loyalty, and the willingness to sacrifice everything for the greater good. In battle, they position themselves between their charges and danger, intercepting attacks that would fell even mighty heroes while simultaneously unleashing devastating counterattacks with their master-crafted weapons.

The tactical value of the Victrix Honour Guard cannot be overstated. Your commanders – whether Captains, Librarians, or even Chapter Master Marneus Calgar himself – represent significant investments in points and strategic capability. Losing these leaders prematurely can cripple your battle plan. The Victrix Honour Guard ensure that doesn’t happen, absorbing enemy fire and melee attacks that would otherwise eliminate your most valuable assets. Meanwhile, their own offensive capabilities mean they’re not merely defensive pieces but active threats that enemies cannot ignore.

Extensive Customization Options

This kit provides exceptional flexibility in how you build and personalize your Victrix Honour Guard. The highly customizable design includes interchangeable leg armor that allows you to vary the stance and appearance of each warrior. Multiple shoulder pads provide options for displaying Chapter heraldry in different configurations. Six helmeted heads ensure every member of your guard can have a distinct appearance, even if you’re building multiple squads.

For armament, each warrior can be equipped with master-crafted bolt carbines for ranged firepower and power axes for close combat effectiveness. These weapons represent the finest wargear the Chapter can provide, befitting warriors entrusted with protecting its leadership. The combination makes the Victrix Honour Guard dangerous at all ranges while maintaining their primary protective role.

Chapter Champion Option

One of the three warriors can alternatively be built as a Chapter Champion, an even more specialized warrior who serves as both bodyguard and the Chapter’s formal duelist. The Chapter Champion wields the Blades of Honour, paired power weapons of exceptional craftsmanship that can cut through enemy armor like parchment. This build option transforms one of your bodyguards into a dedicated character-hunter capable of challenging enemy leaders to single combat and emerging victorious.

The Chapter Champion represents a perfect blend of offense and defense. While still serving the protective role of the Victrix Honour Guard, the Champion can also counter-charge into enemy characters, eliminating threats before they can strike at your leaders. This proactive defensive capability makes the Champion build particularly valuable in armies facing character-heavy opponent forces.

Chapter Ancient Option

Another warrior can be built as a Chapter Ancient, a venerable standard bearer who carries the inspiring Banner of Macragge into battle alongside a master-crafted power weapon. The Ancient serves a unique role, providing both the protective benefits of the Victrix Honour Guard and the morale-boosting presence of the Chapter’s most sacred banner.

The Banner of Macragge is more than decoration – it’s a symbol of ten thousand years of victory, sacrifice, and unwavering dedication to the Imperium. Warriors fighting beneath its colors find renewed courage and determination. The Chapter Ancient option allows you to add this inspirational element to your force while maintaining the protective capacity the Victrix Honour Guard provides. It’s an excellent choice for armies that want to emphasize the Ultramarines’ rich heritage and the power of their symbols.

Tactical Flexibility

The build options mean a single kit can serve multiple tactical roles depending on your needs. Build three standard Victrix Honour Guard for maximum protective redundancy around a critical character. Build one as a Chapter Champion to add character-hunting capability. Build one as a Chapter Ancient to provide army-wide morale benefits. Or mix and match based on your army composition and strategic preferences.

This flexibility extends the kit’s value significantly. Rather than being locked into a single configuration, you can adapt your Victrix Honour Guard to complement different army builds and tactical approaches. The components are designed to allow disassembly and rebuilding if you magnetize joints, though the models look so impressive that many collectors choose to build multiple kits to maintain different configurations simultaneously.

Visual Impact

Beyond their tactical utility, the Victrix Honour Guard are visually stunning miniatures that command attention on both the gaming table and display shelf. These are 1st Company veterans wearing ornate armor and carrying weapons that represent the pinnacle of the Imperium’s craftsmanship. Every detail reinforces their elite status and sacred duty.

The 40mm bases provide ample room for the warriors’ heroic poses and elaborate equipment. The size and presence of these models make them natural focal points in your army, drawing the eye and clearly identifying them as warriors of exceptional importance. Whether painted in the classic Ultramarines blue or personalized with your own heraldry, these miniatures reward detailed painting and showcase the nobility of the XIII Legion.
