Default Where do I get honour guard?

I just looked over GW's site and couldn't find an honour guard... can anyone point out to me what i'm supposed to use for them?

I tend to use the original axe weilding Veteran Squad. I think they're MKII. And an Emporer's Champion

Basically convert your own. The Veterans sets would make good honour guard, but I've also seen the Master of the Chapter set used as a great base for an HG, as seen here (not mine):

The only downside is that normal veterans next to the Masters of the Chapter might seem not quite as snazzy as the first 4.

You don't, there are no actual Honor Guard models except for those that come with Calgar.

However Veteran or Masters of the Chapter models are good stand ins. The Masters of the Chapter in particular.

I reckon the DA command squad sprue would be a good place to get robes and such for an honour guard, and you should have plenty of bitz lying around to convert them with.

For the Ultramarines maybe, everyone else? Not so much, removing all the Ultramarines iconography is a herculian task and who needs 2-3 Calgars or standard bearers just to get a decent squad? Nah Calgar's Honor Guard may look cool but they are extremely chapter specific and even then not worth buying in multiples to get a decent sized squad. A 4 Man Honor Guard is kinda pitifull.
