A new elite variant of the Primaris Ancient that functions almost exactly the same. The Bladeguard Ancient is a [[Bladeguard Veteran]] blessed with the honour of carrying the Standard for the entire retinue of these veteran squads.

Some people think the Standard is a bit of a weird deviation from the basic banner as it is literally what is presumed to be a dead Astartes hung up like Jesus on the cross. It's fairly standard practice for the more religious elements of the Imperium to carry reliquaries into battle, and in this case, it echoes the Bladeguard Captain's relic shield. Then again, there are more ridiculous standards like the <s>giant marble column beatstick</s> Simulacrum Imperialis used by the [[Bolter bitch|Bolter Bitches]]' [[Imagifier]]. So having a relatively slim and small (In comparison) iconography as a standard is not really the most farfetched design choice produced for the Primaris, <u>'''''ESPECIALLY'''''</u> when there are [[Fail|'gems']] like the [[Invader ATV]] for us to [[Bitch|bitch about.]]

Because they are Bladeguards, they usually hang out with the other cool kids in the playground, although they will support and assist other Primaris and [[Space Marines|Firstborn]] forces if necessary. They also carry around a weird-ass pendant with a silver/metallic hand as an iconography-like piece. We have no idea what the purpose of that thing is. Possibly for some cultural/spiritual ooga booga shit for their rituals or something.

On the tabletop in 9th Edition, they act pretty much the same as the more common Primaris Ancient. Which is that of a support unit meant to buff surrounding allies near him. However, because he is [[Mary Sue|''JUST THAT GOOD'']], he gains a second aura by giving +1 to hit to all Bladeguard units within 6" at the cost of his Rifle or any weapon for that matter. Other than that, he shares the same stats as his other Bladeguard friends.
