deathwatCh ReliC blade
A standard power sword is no better than a flimsy
metal spike in the humbling aura of a relic blade.
Remembrancer works from the Horus Heresy depict
these magnificent power weapons in the hands of
its heroes, and accounts can be found through the
ages of how their wielders turned the tides of key
battles. Few enough have survived the millennia,
and only a precious handful of those are reserved
for the Deathwatch.
Relic blades take various forms, but are always
a great weapon of some fashion. They require two
hands for even a Space Marine to wield. A relic
blade that successfully Parries a weapon without
the Power Field Quality automatically destroys the attacker’s
weapon. It has the same effect on weapons used to Parry
it, shearing through such inferior defences and striking as
though opposition was never rendered. A relic blade has a
25% chance to destroy a weapon normally immune to Power
Fields (including one with a Power Field) that is not also
a Relic.
