Some weapons strike with such force that they cause terrible wounds that can lay low even the most formidable combatant.

Relentless warriors are strong of arm – nothing can slow their implacable advance.

The humble vexilla displays the heraldry of a particular squad, proclaiming not only its designation in the Legion but also its proud legacy in the annals of the Great Crusade.

Some weapons are capable of breaching armour with a terrifying ease, whether by specially designed munitions, careful targeting or sheer brute power.

A branch of weaponry now commonplace among the ranks of the Legiones Astartes, bolt weapons are based on a robust Terran design, refined from the weapons used during the Emperor’s battles to conquer Old Earth. These brutally efficient weapons fire a caseless, self-propelled and mass reactive munition, more akin to a miniature rocket than a simple bullet and easily capable of eviscerating most foes against which the Space Marines of the Imperium find themselves matched. Such was the success of these weapons that they would eventually come to replace the more complex Martian weapons that had once dominated the arsenals of the Legiones Astartes.

An Ancient Terran innovation, pairing a bolter with another secondary weapon to allow elite formations of warriors to project superior firepower at the climactic moment of battle. Most often used to break through enemy lines or to stymie the onslaught of enemy armour, these weapons are the mark of the elite of the Legiones Astartes, issued to the most skilled of warriors to maximise their worth.

• Any Legiones Astartes profile that allows a model to select a magna combi-weapon grants the model a weapon with a bolter as the primary weapon and a secondary weapon chosen from the following list: meltagun, plasma gun or disintegrator*.
• Any Legiones Astartes profile that allows a model to select a minor combi-weapon grants the model a weapon with a bolter as the primary weapon and a secondary weapon chosen from the following list: flamer, volkite charger or grenade launcher.

An auxiliary weapon system fitted to Terminator armour, the grenade harness unleashes a barrage of fragmentation bombs at the foe as the Terminator charges.

Many warriors live and die according to the principle of ‘death before dishonour’. Seldom do such warriors take a backward step in the face of danger.

Only when outnumbered in the press of the melee, can these weapons be wielded to the greatest effect.

One of the first issued Tactical Dreadnought Armour patterns, the Cataphractii suits were even more heavily protected than their contemporaries, with slab-like ceramite pauldrons housing additional shield generators. This design has the unfortunate side effect of overstraining the armour’s exoskeleton and slowing the wearer dangerously, however. This difference led to the pattern’s declining use with some Legions at the outbreak of the Horus Heresy.

Though all serve the Wolf King faithfully and with fealty as his guard, the Varagyr also take great satisfaction in showing their superiority over the petty lords and champions of those they slay, vying to honour their master with the trophies of the slain justly anointed in the blood of the vanquished, in the hopes of making a tale worth the telling.

Created by the weaponsmiths of the Fang, the famed frost blades were forged after detailed study of the arcane technologies of Leman Russ’ own Emperor-gifted blade, coupled with unique materials gleaned from the death world of Fenris itself, namely the preternaturally hard chitin-teeth of the Fenrisian krakens that haunted that death world’s deeps. Most took the shape of traditional Fenrisian battle axes or Terran-influenced double-edged chainblades, while some few were also fashioned after power claws or even broad-bladed war spears, but all were finely made and equally lethal. Only a few such weapons were able to match the fabled paragon blades of Ancient Terra in destructive potential and quality, but all were truly formidable weapons in their own right.
