Wondering what relics the new guard got. If anyone can inform me that would be awesome!

Purge the Weak!
- The tactical auto-relinquary of Tyberius; any succesfull doubles rolled on Ld for orders makes all orders auto-pass from bearer.
- The laurels of command; codex units within 6" can choose to pass or fail morale
- Kurov's Aquilla; codex units within 6" have prefered enemy. Bearer may re-roll Ld once per turn.
- Blade of Conquest; +1S, AP3, master-crafted, melee
- The Emperor's Benediction; 12", S5, Ap4, Master-crafted precision shot pistol
- The deathmask of Ollanius; 4+ invul, It will not die and Fear.
40k- Chaos Space marines - Chaos Daemons - WM/H - Khador - Cygnar - Dystopian wars - EotBS
And the "Price Tag of WTF!!!!" :-)
The Mask is cool, but I think the Laurels is the best one, it's like Marneus Calgar's rule but very cheap for the effect. So no more running from casualties from shooting, or from assault. Have a Space Marine IC in the squad too and they can't be Sweeping Advanced, so it's like Hit and Run all of the sudden (if they lose combat that is...when have Guardsmen ever lost combat?). Of course if they had a blob of 50 with Power Axes, Ministorum Priests, and some good allied characters, they might not lose combat!
Trooper Oll made it in there? nice nod to HH
the Aquila doesn't seem half bad either, but that probably fails on the price front I'd guess?

I like them, they're cool, fluffy and useful I think. I suppose it depends on the points cost, but they sound good.
The problem I see is that company command squads are already a top target for the enemy to shoot. The enemy will slay the warlord, turn off the orders, eliminate attached characters like the master of the fleet, not to mention destroying a BS4 unit with a few plasmas or a lascannon and a regimental standard to keep the chaps happy.
This is all fine and a chimera or camo cloaks + ADL will help, but buying these expensive relics just makes your CCS more of a target and more of a points loss when it dies. I shouldn't expect to get more than 1-2 turns use out of the relics.
