Editing Victrix Guard (section)

==On the Tabletop==
The Victrix Honour Guard have a fairly decent stat line, being essentially Honour guard with an extra wound, 4 attacks and with the Bolter and Power Axe replaced with a Storm Shield and Power Sword (which is a bit odd as their 30k equivalent wield axes). They come in groups of two, and while the lack of a ranged option makes them a bit inflexible and the Power Sword has slightly limited their killing potential, the Storm Shield more than makes up for this, as any charging character killer will have to punch through a total of six wounds with a 3++ invuln, before getting to your Warlord. They can also make Heroic interventions meaning you can actually cover a fair bit of an area with a unit of these guys and protect multiple Characters with them.

There is also a Specialist detachment in Vigilus Defiant, to give all Captain, [[Honour Guard]] and [[Veteran Squad]] units in a detachment the {{W40kKeyword|VICTRIX GUARD}} key word, which gives them access to unique stratagems, relics and warlord traits.
