How to unlock the Honour in My Shield achievement in Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team - Definitive Guide
Ensure that you use the powerups to your advantage but hold off on the Health ones until you have cleared an area (the game will do a slow kill of the last enemy) or you are around 1/4. Do not be too quick to grab these as there are several points that you are rushed with a large force of orcs/greenskins.
Additionally, if both of you are downed at once, you'll revert to the last checkpoint and it won't count as a death - meaning you'll still be able to unlock the achievement. As long as you never get past the 'revival stage', nothing else you do matters. Even your co-op partner can die (meaning you can be a jerk and not revive him in time).
NOTE: Like all other achievements earned in co-op, this will only be awarded to the first player. The second player can die or not, but even if they're untouchable they still will not unlock the achievement.
His Heavy Bolter is great against ranged enemies and as long as you remember to make liberal use of his special ability any enemies which get close to you will be mowed down under heavy fire.
Also remember that if you pick up a regeneration power up it will continue to heal you while it is still active, so don't go rushing off to pick up a new power up.
Don't hesitate to whip out the special attack in tough situations, which is a vortex blast that will wipe anyone nearby off the map.
The only real hard part will be getting by the larger hordes of gunner Orks, as they can rip your health down quickly. Luckily, the first stage is relatively easy and health pickups are REALLY plentiful. Just make sure you don't waste them, or the healing potential they grant.
Careful use of the hand grenades is also a must (such as, say, keeping three behind for the final rush), as it can help you out of incredibly sticky situations.
If you have already unlocked perks, adding as many melee damage and health bar modifiers as possible will help IMMENSELY.
Of course, co-op wouldn't hurt either. I'd recommend a combination of Librarian and Tech-Marine for a littering of dead bodies at both close and far range.
I would recommend using a ranged class such as the Stemguard Veteran or Techmarine to kill everything before it gets close to you, and if you do it properly you could also pair this with Devastator if you don't melee the whole mission. Obviously, this is best done on Mission 1 as it is both short and easy compared to the other missions.
This can be easily achieved in the 1st level "Chem-Generator Assault" or 2nd level "Engine Destruction". It works better if you're using a Range Class so you can eliminate enemies from afar and don't need to risk your health unnecessarily. Equip any perks that you have unlocked and play cautiously, using your Special Abilities when needed and keeping healthy by picking up Health Restore powerups.
