In the honour guard entry in the blood angels codex page 84 it says "any honour guard may replace their boltgun, chainsword and/or bolt pistol with"
Storm bolter
Flamer
Meltagun/combi blahblahblah
Power weapon blah blah."

Basically does this mean each honour guard could take for example 2 power swords/thunder hammers?

Yes. But you shouldn't.

How come? I was intending to make 1 dude with a sb/th, two dudes with 2 swords each and haven't decided on the last bloke yet. Incidentally, does a sanguinary novitiate have any particular wargear or? Other than the holy grai... I mean blood chalice

It's looks cool, but its cost/effect ratio isn't that good.

It's like how the chapter master/captain can have two storm shields, looks kind of cool but there are better more effective combinations.

You could add in enough SS to give the squad the majority for extra survivability then proceed to equip the remaining members in more specialised roles.

I believe the Sanguinary Novitiate is stuck with what he has.

SB/TH would work but seems like putting a few too many eggs in one basket, especially with the one guy who currently has nothing. 2 swords wouldn't really do anything special though as having a power sword/pistol or power sword/ccw gives you the same effects but is cheaper (and with the pistol you can still shoot). The last guy should make up his mind

Shouldn't give them 2 melee weapons, but do base them around short range combat.
