Cn BA take honour guard with any HQ, or just captains only, if only captains, does this include Captain Tycho with either profile?
Also, are honour guard any good and worth the points?

What does the codex say on page 84?
Also, are honour guard any good and worth the points?
Can't help you on this one. I don't play them. Everyone I know who plays BA don't use them however.

Greebo had spent an irritating two minutes in that box. Technically, a cat locked in a box may be alive or it may be dead. You never know until you look. In fact, the mere act of opening the box will determine the state of the cat, although in this case there were three determinate states the cat could be in: these being Alive, Dead, and Bloody Furious.
Orks always ride in single file to hide their strength and numbers.

More helpfully, yes, you can take them with any HQ, including Tycho.
Any good? Yes
Worth the points? Perhaps, perhaps not. There are arguments to be made either way. Personally, I think they're too expensive, certainly @ 1500pts or below.

They're worth it with 4 Plasma Guns and Jump Packs or Drop Pod. They're don't take up a FOC slot and get a 'free' Priest so IMO are better than Sternguard this way.

Yeah, that's a good point. The free priest is good. Like I said, you can argue a case for them.

The ability to swap one of their weapons for a special weapon, AND another of their weapons for a different special weapon, is pretty neat. Five guys in a pod with four meltaguns and four flamers have a lot of flexibility.
