WEAPON CRAFTSMANSHIP
All the weapons detailed in weapon descriptions are of Common craftsmanship unless otherwise stated. For
weapons of better or worse manufacture there are some modifiers already given in the description the weapons
have.
In addition to these or in their place you may use following modifications:

POOR
These cheaply constructed ranged weapons are more prone to malfunction. A ranged weapon of Poor
craftmanship has the Unreliable quality and loses its Accurate and Agile qualities. If the weapon already has
Unreliable quality then it will jam on any failed roll to hit. Melee weapons of Poor craftsmanship incur a –10
penalty to tests made to attack and lose their Balanced and Fast qualities or if they had neither, add +25% to their
weight. Any Flame, Melta and Plasma quality weapons are also likely to receive Heats, Overheats, Unstable or
Recharge rules. Any weapons with Power Field are likely to receive Heats quality.
Poor quality weapons also often suffer from smaller clip sizes and short battery life.
Poor quality weapons can never have Robust quality.
The GM should also concider giving weapons Unwieldy, Slow, Weak /Wooden, Dinged or Flimsy qualities.

GOOD
More carefully constructed and finished, these weapons are consequently more reliable. Any Good quality
weapons have Robust(1) quality.
Ranged weapons of Good craftsmanship have the Reliable (if it had Unreliable quality, the weapon loses that
instead). If it already has Reliable quality, choose one of the following:
• Weapon becomes Accurate (if it had Inaccurate quality, the weapon loses that instead)
• If Weapon does not have Slow or Unbalanced qualities, it gains Agile quality with its weight reduced by
25%.
• Lose Unbalanced or Slow quality.
• Add +10% to clip size (minimum of 1).
• Reduce level of Recoil quality by one.
• The weapon may have several sights attached or it may have Mind Impulse Unit link.
Melee weapons of Good Craftsmanship choose one:
• Add a +5 bonus to Tests made to attack and gain Balanced quality unless they have Unbalanced, Slow, or
Unwieldy qualities. If a melee weapon cannot become Balanced or already has this quality, then its weight
is halved or it loses Unbalanced quality.
• Add +5 bonus to Tests made to Parry and level of existing Shield quality is increased by one.
• Gain +1 Penetration.
• Lose Wooden/Weak quality

8
BEST
A work of art as much as a weapon, these items are created by skilled artisans and are often centuries old.
Weapons of Best Craftmanship always have Robust(3) quality.
Ranged weapons of Best craftsmanship give the benefits of Good Craftsmanship, and have one of the following:
• Never suffer from jamming or overheating in addition to effects from Good Craftsmanship. If a roll would
result in either of these occurrences, simply count it as a miss instead.
• Weapon without Slow and Unbalanced qualities may gain Agile quality and lose 25% of their weight and
Gain Proven(3) quality or increase level of existing Proven quality by 2.
• Lose Unstable quality.
• Add +25% to clip size (minimum of 2).
• Lose Unbalanced quality and lower Recoil quality by one level.
• Lose Recharge quality and amount of shots fired does not alter the overheat threshold of Overheat
quality.
• Add +1 to their Penetration and either lower Recoil quality by one level or reduce weight by 10%.
Melee weapons of Best craftsmanship give the benefits of Good Craftsmanship, and have one of the following:
• Add a +10 bonus to tests made to attack instead of +5 and add 1 to the Damage they inflict.
• Add +1 to their Penetration and gain Proven(2) quality or increase level of existing Proven quality by 1.
• Lose their Unbalanced quality and gain Proven(3) quality or increase level of existing Proven quality by 2.
• Exchange Slow or Unwieldy quality to Unbalanced quality.
• Add +10 bonus to Tests made to Parry instead of +5 and level of existing Shield quality is increased by
one.
• Lose Flimsy and Unarmed qualities.

WEAPON QUALITIES
ACCURATE
Some weapons are designed with precision in mind and respond superbly in skilled hands. They grant an additional
bonus of +10 to the firer’s Ballistic Skill when used with an Aim Action, this is in addition to the bonus granted from
Aiming. If an accurate weapon is fitted with a telescopic sight its range is increased by 20% (rounding down to
nearest full meter).

AGILE
These weapons are easy to keep on hand and compact enough to carry comfortably for prolonged periods. They
are also quite compact in size making them usable in tight spaces. Agile ranged weapons can be Aimed as a Free
Action, but this only gives +5 bonus to Ballistic Skill though there is no benefit to hit if the weapon is inaccurate.
Agile melee weapons give their wielder +10 to Weapon Skill when used against a foe without Agile weapon in tight
space such as narrow corridor or foe that has bee surrounded in melee by three or more other attackers.
Agile weapons can be fired in one hand with only a –10 penalty rather than the normal –20 for basic weapons.
Agile quality weapons can be used to make a Standard Attack as part of a Ready Action but this attack cannot be
combined with any Aim Action.

AGONIZING
The weapon is capable of dealing very painful wounds and any opponent, who receives a hit to an unarmoured
location from an Agonizing weapon, must make a Difficult (-10) Toughness Test if he is capable of feeling pain.
Should he fail this Test, he suffers Pain(1) and if the Test is failed by three or more degrees, he suffers Pain(2)
instead.

9
BALANCED
Some weapons, such as swords, are designed so that the weight of the hilt balances the weight of the blade,
making the weapon easier to wield. Balanced weapons grant a +10 bonus to Weapon Skill Tests made to Parry.
When Balanced weapon is used to make a Counter-Attack it grants +5 bonus to Weapon Skill. If the weapon used
to make Counter-Attack is of Best Craftsmanship, this bonus is raised to +10.
Balanced ranged weapons have been wonderfully stabilized and do not inflict any penalties to hit due to the
movement of the user and while remaining still their wielder only needs to spend a Half Action to benefit from
Full Action Aim.
Balanced weapons with reach quality only inflict -10 Penalty to Weapon Skill when fighting in crowds or tight
spaces.

BEST QUALITY / INVARIABLE

The Best Quality weapon is special product of the master who made it and there are nearly never quality variations
of this weapon available. Any bonuses for this are already included into the weapon’s profile and description.
Though, Invariable quality indicates that the weapon very rarely has any better Craftsmanship versions available.

BLAST (RADIUS)
Many missiles, grenades and some guns create an explosion when they hit their target or weapon may have some
other way of affecting large area. Blast weapon affects area that is rather round with given in meters and its effects
and Damage apply within this radius in metres. This area is centred into point of impact resolved after weapon fire.
Any characters within Blast weapon area of effect automatically suffers a hit. If the Blast weapon deals any direct
Damage, this is increased by X and counts as having Proven(X) quality, where the X is equal to the given Radius in
metres.
Blast weapons halve their Penetration (rounding down) against any targets that are not directly at the point of
impact, and for each such target use Effective X that is equal to Radius minus one for each full meter the target is
from the centre of the Blast. Any Prone targets that are at least one meter away from the blast centre also halve
the Effective X (rounding down).
Note that Blast weapons that deal Damage are likely to damage, tear or even destroy any clothing worn by those
who suffer a hit from the Blast. As Blast is always hitting targets within area and therefore always considered to hit
the Body location. Any Poor Craftsmanship or Unreliable ammo with Blast quality may have long enough delay
after impact to allow target’s to use Reaction to make a Dive for Cover Action before the explosion occurs. Usually
this is represented so that if only up to one Degree of Success is scored when launching such ammo, the target can
make a Hard(-20) Dodge Test to as Dive for Cover Action.
Weapons with Blast quality do not cause Critical Hits unless causing Critical Hits from Damage. Any effects from
Righteous Fury are applied only to the target that is directly at the centre of the Blast.

BOLT
Bolt ammunition is capable of penetrating deep and explodes after reaching inner tissues of its target. When
rolling for Damage, for each hit with Explosive Damage type choose one d10 rolled for its Damage to be used also
as a Check Die simultaneously. For each hit this Check Die result (apply Proven quality prior to this check) is
checked against the target’s Toughness Bonus. If this Check Die equals or exceeds the target’s TB, then reduce the
target’s Toughness Bonus by 1 and receive +1 Pen for this hit. This check roll does not benefit from Proven quality
for the purposes of this check, though the Proven quality can normally affect the actually dealt Damage.
Bolt rounds are usually made to bore through armour before exploding. This setting can usually be chosen
manually for each bolt before loading into the weapon or by Machine Spirit in some Good and Best Craftsmanship
weapons. When bore through is selected, if only up to half (rouding up) of the Penetration from this hit is required
to reduce the target’s AP to zero, there’s another possible target quite directly behind the original target but
within same range bracket, then there’s a 60% chance the secondary target is also hit (use the reversed to hit
check roll for determining hit location for this secondary hit). Whether or not the secondary hit finds the target,
the primary hit changes Damage Type to P and the Damage is reduced by 1. The Pen for the secondary hit is the
Halved (round down) Pen of the primary hit. If there’s enough Pen left to repeat this process, then do so and
determine also a tertiary hit but the Damage. The tertiary hit will always be the last one and the Bolt ammo will
explode during that.

10
CLUMSY
If the wielder of a Clumsy weapon fails a Weapon Skill Test with it by a number of Degrees of Failure greater than
his Weapon Skill Bonus, he immediately resolves an attack as though he had successfully struck himself, but scored
no additional Degreees of Success and the wielder’s Strength Bonus is considered to be 0 until the beginning of his
next turn. The character in Guarded Attack or Defensive Stance may spend his Reaction to automatically evade this
self-hit from a Clumsy quality, but Parrying is not possible.

CONCEALABLE
Weapon is small in size making it easy to have it ready without anyone noticing. Any Awareness tests made to
notice that concealable weapon is readied suffer -30 penalty. If concealable weapon is hidden within clothing or in
a concealed cavity or something similar, any tests made to find this concealed weapon suffer -20 penalty.

CONCUSSIVE (X)
Some weapons create a deafening blast or shock wave when they hit. When a target is struck by a Concussive
weapon, he must take a Toughness Test with a penalty equal to 10 times the number in parentheses (X). For
example, a weapon with Concussive (2) would impose a –20 on Toughness Tests and Concussive (0) would be a
Test with no penalty. If he fails, the target is Stunned for 1 Round per Degree of Failure. Additionally, if the target
takes Damage greater than his Strength Bonus, he is knocked Prone. Should the target become both Knocked
Prone and Stunned for 4 or more Rounds, the target suffers also Unconscious(X).
Any beings with Incorporeal, Machine, From Beyond, Stuff of Nightmares, Undying, Deamonic or Strange
Physiology Traits are unaffected.

CORROSIVE
Some weapons utilise highly caustic acids which cause damage to both the wearer and their equipment. If a target
is hit by an attack from a Corrosive weapon, the any armour worn by the target in that location (with Blast or Spray
weapons consider hitting every hit location) suffer Amour Damage(1) for each beginning 5 points of rolled
Damage. If the Armour Points of the armour are reduced below 0 or the target is not wearing any armour in that
location, the excess amount of Armour Damage (the whole amount if the target is wearing no armour in that
location) is added to the rolled Damage before applying it. For armours with Unyielding and Environment Sealed
qualities, halve (rounding down) the caused Armour Damage.
This weapon also reduces the target’s Toughness Bonus by same amount as it did add extra Damage when
applying the Damage. Corrosive weapons with area of effect, are always considered to hit targets in the body and
add +1 Damage for each Level of Soak.
Note that Corrosive weapons that deal Damage are likely to damage or destroy any clothing worn by those who
suffer a hit from the Corrosive or in many cases even when no Damage is caused.

COVER (AREA)
The shield can be used to as a cover that protects either One, Half or Full body of a human sized character. This
extends the protections offered by Shield quality to cover other parts of wielder’s body, one of which must always
be the hand holding the shield and protected body parts must be connected. Cover level Half means that either
hands and the head or legs are always left without cover. Cover level One allows covering of the hand holding a
shield and one additional hit location.
Using Cover quality shield to protects head prevents shields holder from seeing into direction of cover.

CRUSHING
Weapon delivers impacts that bend armour letting pressure into body causing often broken bones and internal
bleeding. When checking for Critical Hit from Damage, the target's Toughness Bonus is halved even when the
target does benefit from Protection quality. Also, the target loses the benefits from Protection quality if the AP of
their armour is reduced to 0.

11
CYBERNETIC
The weapon differs from the regular design in that the entire forearm is removed and replaced, making it almost a
form of cybernetic weapon. The Cybernetic weapon must replace either the user’s left or right arm. The gun itself
replaces the hand and forearm, joining at the elbow. The arm cannot be used for anything else once the
Cybernetic weapon has been installed. Installing a cybernetic weapon is a time-consuming and delicate procedure
that requires trained professionals, and therefore follows the rules for attaching bionics and implants. A Cybernetic
weapon is not a normal cybernetic, however, and thus does not grant the user Unnatural Toughness.
Cybernetic weapons do not need to be Braced (but can benefit from this) and they do not suffer from the effects
of Recoil quality.

DEFENSIVE
Defensive quality weapons that also feature Agile or Fast quality can used to Parry Counter-Attacks even in Neutral
Stance.
Due to the more protective nature of Defensive weapons, when Parrying with Defensive weapons you always gain
one additional Degree of Success on top of any rolled and if a Defensive weapon is used for Attacking, the amount
of scored Degrees of Success is reduced by one (down to Standard Success).

DINGED (X)
The weapon has suffered some structural damage that will affect its performance and makes the weapon more
likely to suffer structural failure or even become utterly broken. When a weapon with Dinged quality is used to
strike anything, check the to hit roll die for “ones”. If this roll is equal to or lower than the amount of Dinged the
weapon has, the weapon suffers another level of Dinged. Also, whenever the level of Dinged is increased for the
weapon, check if the to hit die roll for “tens” was lower than the level of Dinged. If so, the weapon now breaks a
bit and gains Weak quality. If it already had Weak quality, the weapon breaks totally and is only usable as
improvised primitive weapon.

EXPLOSIVE MISHAP
Whenever a jam results from throwing a grenade or firing a grenade, something unfortunate has happened. Roll
on the table below to find out the results.
Explosive Mishaps
Roll Result Description
1–5 Dud. The explosive or round fails to explode and, in the case of grenade launchers, the weapon must be reloaded before it can
fire.
6–8 “It might be ok…” Nothing happens. This one explosive has Unstable quality and if it already had this, it also has Unrealiable quality.
9–0 BOOM! The round or explosive detonates immediately. Centre the effect on the character. If this was the result of firing a grenade
launcher, the grenade detonates in the barrel, having its normal effect as well as destroying the weapon.

FAST
Weapon is very light and agile to use. If this weapon is used to make an attack in melee, it grants its wielder +2 to
Agility Bonus when determining Initiative. When used to make a Counter-Attack fast weapons grant +10 to
Weapon Skill. Opponents that would Parry an attack against a weapon with the Fast quality take a –10 penalty on
their Weapon Skill Tests unless the opponent is Parrying with a weapon that has Fast, Shield or Defensive quality.
Fast quality ranged weapons allow the wielder to spend his Reaction to make an Agility Test. If the Test is
successful he may choose to ignore any Penalties caused by the movement speed of the target for his next shot.

FELLING
Designed to puncture and to mangle, this weapon is capable of toppling even the mightiest foes. If the weapon
hits, it ignores a number of levels of Unnatural Toughness possessed by the target equal to the number in the
parenthesis. For instance, a Felling (1) weapon ignores the benefits of Unnatural Toughness (x1) and would reduce
the benefits of unnatural Toughness (x3) by one multiplier.
If the target does not have Daemonic, Stuff of Nightmares, Undying or Unnatural Toughness Trait, his Toughness
Bonus is halved (rounding down) against hits from a Felling weapon. Any vehicles that are hit with Felling weapon
do not apply their Structural Integrity Bonus to reduce the damage.

12
FLAME
Flame weapons produce visible burning and can set things easily on fire. If the Flame weapon has Spray quality,
weapon projects flame out to the weapon’s area of effect and all creatures in the flame’s path are forced to try
avoiding flames unless they are protected against flames, highly resistant or immune to heat, fearless, mindless or
daemons. Avoiding flames uses up the character’s Reaction. Those trying to avoid flames try moving out from the
flame by shortest possible route. Those unable to avoid flames, take Damage normally adding +1 to the Damage
total for each level of Soak. Flame weapons with area of effect, are always considered to hit targets in the body.
Any character hit by a Flame weapon must immediately succeed on a Challenging(+0) Agility Test or be set on fire.
This test suffers an additional -10 Penalty for each Level of Soak. Cover does not protect characters from attacks
made by Flame weapons unless the cover is fully enclosed or significantly blocking to the direction of the attack
and is made of materials that do not get immediately burned. When in partial cover the Levels of Soak suffered are
reduced by up to 3 as determined by the GM (a rough guide is that for each -10 a normal ranged attack would have
suffered as a Penalty reduces one Level of Soak). If a Flame weapon also has Igniting quality, it automatically sets
its victim on fire.
Note that Flame weapons that deal Damage are likely to damage or destroy any clothing worn by those who suffer
a hit from the Flame or in many cases even when no Damage is caused.

FLEXIBLE
Some weapons are made up from lots of loosely connected segments, such as chains or supple woven hides, such
as whips. These kinds of weapons lash about when used to attack and cannot be Parried except with Shields.
Flexible weapons are quite unfitting for Parrying and cannot be used to make a Parry.

FLIMSY
The weapon has very weak structure and is not able to withstand hard blows. If a Flimsy weapon is used to make a
Parry, it will break if Fumble or result between 96 and 00 is rolled.
The weapon is also very poorly fit to penetrating armour and any armour has its AP increased by one against hits
from this weapon. In addition Flimsy weapons used to Attack when using All-Out Attack stance, break when any
Fumble is rolled.

GRABBER
The weapon is designed to pull its victim either towards the wielder or to pull riders from their mounts. After a
successful hit with a grabber weapon you may immediately make a pulling attempt. This is an Opposed Strength
Test. Mounted opponents suffer -10 penalty, if they took any Damage from the hit. If you win by two or more
degrees, the opponent is pulled towards you and loses balance effectively pulling him down from his mount or
leaving opponents that did not have a mount lying at your feet. Should you win by less than two degrees, the
opponent struggles to keep his feet, but loses his next Half-Action.
Grabber quality weapon are unaffected by Unyielding, Deflect and Impact Absorption qualities.

GRAPPLE
These weapons are in use when trying to capture or take down someone without killing him. They have special
desing that allows using them effectively in a Grapple. These weapons do not cause any Penalties to the user’s
Strength when grappling.

HAYWIRE (RANGE)
Haywire weapons use blasts of electromagnetic radiation to destroy the inner workings of machines and
technological devices. Everything within the field’s radius (in metres), indicated by Range, is affected. Roll 1d10 on
the table below (adding any modifiers from the weapon) to determine the strength of the effect. As the field
dissipates, the effect lessens one step each Round until it becomes Insignificant (i.e. a result of Major Disruption
would become Minor Disruption the following round and then cease to have an effect the round after that).
Additional Haywire attacks in the same area do not stack, but instead create a new effect that will either be
ignored if lower than the current effect or replace it if higher.

13
TABLE: HAYWIRE FIELD STRENGTHS
Roll Field Strength
1 Insignificant: There is no noticeable effect on nearby technology.
2-3 Minor Disruption: All actions utilising technology, including driving vehicles, firing Ranged weapons without the Primitive
Quality, Tech-Use Tests, and any physical actions attempted while wearing power armour or employing cybernetics suffer a
–10 penalty. The Base Movement of anyone in power armour is reduced by 1.
4-6 Major Disruption: All actions utilising technology, including driving vehicles, firing Ranged weapons without the Primitive
Quality, Tech-Use Tests, and any physical actions attempted while wearing Powerd armour or employing cybernetics suffer a
–20 penalty. The Base Movement of anyone in power armour is reduced by 3. Melee weapons with technological
components function as a Primitive weapon of the analogous type.
7-9 Dead Zone: Technology within the affected area completely ceases to function. Powered armour becomes unpowered,
reducing the wearer’s Movement to 1. Vehicles slow to a halt. Characters with cybernetic replacements to any internal
organ(s) suffer one level of Fatigue each round they remain in the Dead Zone. Melee weapons with technological
components (i.e., power swords) function as a Primitive weapon of their type.
10 Prolonged Dead Zone: As Dead Zone (if this result is rolled, the field lasts for two Rounds as it lessens to Dead Zone during
the following Round).

HEATS
The weapon produces such amounts of heat that even its user suffers soe effects. Firing a weapon that Heats
requires the user to make a Heat Test(+10). Users benefit from wearing protective clothing and also wearing an
environment sealed armour ignores this quality.

HOLY / BLESSED / SANCTIFIED

Item has been blessed through various rituals and is carved with sacred markings. This makes weapon have some
extra effects on various beings. Most remarkable effects are holy weapons ability to cancel protection gained with
Daemonic trait and blessed armours ability protect against Warp weapons.
Unless deemed permanent (like blessing usually are not) the effects will get reduced over time. GM should
determine the strength of the blessing as days it lasts. After half the days are spent all the bonuses are also halved
until worn out completely. Note that most of the blessed weapons presented in the weapons lists are considered
to have permanent blessings.

IGNITING
Weapon uses intense heat generating ammunition, spreads long burning flaming materials or simply fires
extremely hot flames. If target is hit and is even somewhat flammable it catches on fire automatically. Any targets
that are either immune to or highly resistant against heat are protected against igniting weapons. If an Igniting
weapon also has Flame quality it always sets its victim on fire and when trying to avoid flames from Spray quality
weapons, each level of Soak adds +2 to the Damage total instead of +1. Also, weapons with both Flame and
Igniting qualities cause an additional -20 Penalty to any Heat Tests their victims must make due to being aflame
and to any attempts for putting out those flames for first three Rounds after the attack.
Note that igniting weapons quite likely damage the clothing worn by their victim.

IMPACT (RANGE)
Weapon fires high power bullets that are able to penetrate even through hard armour as long as they haven't lost
too much energy or the weapon is sufficiently well formed or heavy enough to allow it to cut through armour with
relative ease or at least cause serious damage even when armour is not fully penetrated. If target of an Impact
weapon is at up to given Range bracket then the armour without Impact Absorption quality does not offer
Protection quality if AP is reduced to 0. Also if these hits would cause Critical Hits which would deal Protected
Impact Critical Results of Severity 4 or higher, those Critical Results are checked as Unprotected Impact Critical
Results of equal severity instead. Against vehicles, each full 10 points of Damage adds 1 Penetration and reduces
Structural Integrity Bonus by 2.

INACCURATE
Weapons with this quality are either badly designed or simply woefully made, and regardless of the care taken
when used, offer little better than a lucky chance to hit. Firer only receives a bonus equal to his Perception Bonus
to Ballistic Skill with Aim action that takes Half Action. Aiming for Full Action doubles the bonus.

14
INTEGRATED
Part weapon system and part bionic, the integrated weapons are linked directly to a Potentia Coil (thus requiring
the user to have one), giving them a near-endless amount of energy to draw from, and allowing these ancient
weapons to deliver punishing volleys of fire without pause.
Integrated Weapons that would use charge packs as their ammunition have unlimited ammunition and do not
need to be reloaded (unless otherwise noted). Integrated Weapons do not Jam. This quality disregards any effects
of Unreliable and Realiable qualities. Instead whenever an Integrated Weapon would suffer a Jam, the user instead
takes 1 Level of Fatigue as the drain on their own Potentia Coil starts to wear them down.
Integrated Weapons are always physically linked to their user, and cannot be dropped or discarded without first
disconnecting them from the user’s Potentia Coil. Disconnecting or reconnecting an Integrated Weapon to a
Potentia Coil requires an Ordinary (+10) Tech-Use Test and is a Half Action. Some Integrated Weapons take the
place of limbs, or are mounted within the body such as at a shoulder or above the hip. In these instances, quick
removal might be impossible and might require dedicated medical staff and the correct facilities before they can
be disconnected. It is up to the GM to determine how difficult removing such a weapon would be, as well as
whether it is possible to remove it in the first place.

KNOCKBACK (STRENGTH)
The weapon greanerates a blast wave or maybe has very heavy weight ammunition that is very likely to throw any
lesser being to ground. Each character who is affected by this weapon must test for Pinning and can be thrown to
ground, if the character’s Strength Bonus is same or lower than the Strength of Knockback effect. Characters who
are at risk of being thrown make a Challenging(+0) Strength Test with -10 Penalty for each point of Strength Bonus
below the Strength of Knockback. For each size bracket above normal the character’s Strength Bonus counts as
two points higher. Failure in this Test means that the character is thrown off his feet and must stand up to get back
standing. Failure by two or more degrees means also that the character either staggers or is thrown d5 meters
away from the center of the blast or away from the impact.

KRAK
The weapon is designed to burn through armour and then delivers a secondary blast to destroy the actual target.
Krak weapons also need to have their hit properly aligned for the secondary blast and therefore lose some
potential if the hit lands only somehow. When rolling for Damage, for each hit choose one d10 rolled for its
Damage to be used also as a Check Die simultaneously. For each hit where this Check Die result plus the Pen of the
hit equals or exceeds the target’s AP, the shot is maximally effective causing the AP and the Toughness Bonus (in
case of vehicles Structural Integrity Bonus) of the target to be reduced by 2 (apply these effects prior to checking
Deflect or Unyielding amour qualities) and the target does not benefit from Protection quality if their AP is reduced
to 0 when resolving effects of the Damage. The reduction to Toughness Bonus does not affect creatures with
Daemonic, Stuff of Nightmares or Undying Traits.
If the check die results 1 or 2 (before applying any Proven quality) the hit from Krak weapon is misaligned and
suffers -3 to their Penetration. Note that both effects, maximally effective and misaligned can occur
simultaneously. Against vehicles all hits that do not count as misaligned benefit from the maximally effective
results.

15
LAS
As las weapons fire laser beams they are relatively accurate and hitting moving targets is also somewhat simple.
Therefore hitting targets beyond short range is one step easier than normally. Also dodging laser beams is almost
impossible because beams reach their target instantaneously. Shots from las weapons cannot be dodged unless
otherwise stated. Nature of automatic fire with las weapon is more like constant beam which has pulsating energy
peaks. When firing las weapons the firer gains +10 to Ballistic Skill and suffers no penalties from movement rate of
the target. However, without Pulse quality using Semi-Auto or Full-Auto Burst does not grant any additional
bonuses to hit.
Also due to their more continuous beam nature, when firing Las weapons with Semi-Auto or Full-Auto Burst,
instead of scoring several hits, these hits are resolved as one stronger combined hit on the main target gaining also
any modifications to Proven quality from Semi-auto burst as normal. For each additional hit that would have been
scored with Full-Auto or Semi-Auto burst this combined hit has Damage and Penetration increased by +1.
Las weapons without Pulse quality cannot be used to fire Suppressive Fire, to make Spray and Pray attempt or to
purposefully attempt to hit several targets. They also do not inflict any Collateral Damage. If the target is immune
or resistant to heat, this affects the Damage caused by Las quality weapons.

LETHAL
If penetrating target's armour does not absorb all of the Penetration from hit, then any leftover Penetration
reduces target's Toughness Bonus when determining Critical Hits from Damage. If some Penetration is still left
after this, any leftover reduces the target’s Toughness Bonus also when reducing the Damage from this hit.

LIGHT
When a Light weapon is used to Parry an incoming blow, its wielder may make a Counter-Attack if he wins the
Parry by one or more Degrees. Also, a Light quality weapon allows its user to spend his Reaction to attempt a Parry
against a Counter-Attack with -10 Penalty even when in Neutral or All-Out Attack Stance.
If a Light weapon has also Fast quality Guarded Attack stance does not cause any Penalties to Attacking with
Standard Attack. Also, when in All-Out Attack stance the wielder has one additional Attack with Multiple Attacks
Action. This extra Attack can be combined with any other bonuses, Skills and Talents that give more attacks or with
wielding two weapons.

LINGER (X)
The cloud generated by this weapon disperses at a rate appropriate to the environmental conditions. A wind clears
the area in 1d5+X Rounds while in strong wind this cloud lasts only X Rounds. Windy conditions also move the area
at the downwind direction each Round by half the wind speed present at environment. Indoors, the cloud settles
after 2d10+X Rounds.

MELTA
Melta weapons use small laser pulse to clear out the path for its High-Heat gas burst. The "tunnel" made for gas
beam is only able hold beam for a short period. After flying through tunnel for a short period the gas beam spreads
and forms a small fireball in the air whether it did hit something or not. Melta weapons cannot be fired beyond
Short Range and therefore their Range value indicates their Short Range. If fired beyond half their range, melta
weapons halve their Penetration value rounding fractions up.
Melta weapons ignore Impact Absorption amour quality and if the hit is scored with two or more additional
Degrees of Success they also ignore Unyielding and Deflect qualities. Any Hits to Vehicles withing half range are
automatically Critical Hits.
If the target is immune or resistant to heat, this affects the Damage caused by Melta quality weapons.

16
MIU-LINK
The weapon has in-built Mind Impulse Unit link. This allows its user to connect with the weapon using his Mind
Impulse Unit. Connected user always has knowledge about remaining ammunition and can attempt to Unjam the
weapon as Free Action once per round. The user may also set the weapon into mode where it won’t fire unless the
MIU is connected. Good or Best Craftsmanship versions offer the user a possibility to prevent anyone else from
being able to fire the weapon. This can be overridden with an Arduous (-40) Security Test, by any user with Mind
Impulse Unit and Tech-Use skill as trained.
MIU-link also provides lots of data from the weapon to any auto-senses the user has. If the weapon has Targeter,
then the user with auto-senses is able to reduce time needed for Aim Action by Half, meaning that Half Action Aim
is a Free Action and Full Action Aim only takes a Half Action.

NUMBING
Weapon is somewhat meant or suited more to numb and bruise than straightforwardly cause lethal injuries. If the
victim is wearing any armour, the AP of this armour is increased by one. The target will always be considered to
benefit from Protection quality even when not wearing any armour.

OVERHEATS
Certain weapons are prone to overheating, either because of poor design or they fire unstable super-heated
ammunition. An unmodified to hit roll of 91 or higher causes the weapon to Overheat. For each shot that would be
fired without having at least two rounds of time to cool down, the limit of causing weapon to overheat is reduced
by 2. Roll d10 and consult Table 5-6: Weapon Overheating to see what happens. Poor quality weapons add +2 to
the result and best quality weapons deduct -2 from the result. This effectively prevents best quality weapons from
exploding.
T ABLE : W EAPON O VERHEATING
Roll Effect

1–2 Weapons cooling system activates and the weapon cannot be fired for 2 Rounds. The user must make a Heat Test(+20).

The weapon cannot be fired for 1d10+1 Rounds. During each round the weapon is inoperable, the firer must make a Heat
3–5
Test(+10). Failing this Test also causes user to drop the weapon.
The firer must make a Heat Test(-20) and he drops the weapon. In addition for 1d10+1 Rounds the weapon is too hot to pick up
6–8
(anyone trying must make a Heat Test(-20) and failing also causes the weapon to drop).

The weapon explodes and is destroyed. Firer must make a Challenging (0) Agility Test to be able to throw the weapon further
9-10 away from himself. Weapon is thrown away amount of meters equal twice the degrees of success made in the Agility Test.
Anyone within two metres of the exploding weapon takes Damage as if they had taken a single hit from the weapon.

PLASMA
Hits from plasma weapons are very efficient even against any highly advanced armour. Plasma weapons ignore
Unyielding, Deflect and Impact Absorption armour qualities. If the target is immune or resistant to heat, this
affects the Damage caused by Plasma quality weapons.
Plasma weapons are less likely to deal widespread damage against targets that have enough armour to protect
them. If the target’s AP is not fully negated by Penetration, then convert Damage to Penetration so that two points
of Damage is transformed into 1 point of Penetration until the amour is either fully penetrated or the damage is
reduced to 0. If this has the target’s armour fully penetrated, add Plasma weapon’s Proven value to any Damage it
deals after penetration.

17
POWER FIELD
A field of power wreathes weapons with this quality, increasing its Damage and Penetration. Such modifiers are
already included in the weapon’s profile. When you successfully use this weapon to Parry an attack made with a
weapon that lacks this quality, you have a 75% chance of destroying your attacker’s weapon. If weapon with power
field is Parried with weapon that has not this quality, the weapon used to Parry the attack has 50% chance of
becoming destroyed.
When power field is activated, it makes a fast crackling noise that continues as low humming noise. This humming
strengthens when weapon is moved through air. This gives anyone within 20 metres +20 to tests involving hearing
the use of power field.
Weapons with Power Field active ignore Deflect and Impact Absorption amour qualities, also disregarding any
negative effects from Unarmed quality. Power Field weapons with Weak or Flimsy qualities cannot be broken
when used to parry other weapons.

PRECISE
Weapon is lightweight, easily handled and it is mostly used to make piercing strikes. This combination makes it
easier to decide where your hits will land. Precise weapons suffer only -10 penalty when making Called Strikes, and
when used to make the Called Strike for hitting Exposure or Weak Area, treat the level of these qualities as one
step higher than it is. If the target’s armour does not have Exposure or Weak Area quality, a Called Strike to
Exposure or Weak Area with 2 or more Degrees of Success treats the armour as having Weak Area where this hit
has just landed while a Critical Hit (not Critical Hit from Damage) treats the amour as having had Exposure where
this Critical Hit is now applied.
Precise ranged weapons fire extremely adjustable, predictable and thin shots or bursts that can easily be adjusted
to hit the exact position where is wanted to hit. Ranged precise weapons also suffer only -10 penalty when making
called shots and when used to make the Called Shot after Aim Action for hitting Exposure or Weak Area, treat the
level of these qualities as one step higher than it is. If the target’s armour does not have Exposure or Weak Area
quality, a Called Strike to Exposure or Weak Area with 3 or more Degrees of Success treats the armour as having
Weak Area where this hit has just landed while a Critical Hit (not Critical Hit from Damage) treats the amour as
having had Exposure where this Critical Hit is now applied.

PRIMITIVE
Crude and basic in design, these kinds of weapons, while still deadly, are less effective against modern armour. All
Armour Points are doubled against hits from Primitive weapons, unless the armour also has the Primitive quality.
Primitive weapons grant only a bonus of +10 to Ballistic Skill with Aim Action. Any Poor Craftsmanship Primitive
ranged weapons are of Inaccurate quality and any Poor Craftsmanship melee weapons are always Unbalanced.
Primitive armour offers only half (rounding down) AP against hits from weapon without Primitive quality.

PROVEN (X)
Weapons with a Proven quality always inflict massive trauma and treat any die roll for Damage lower than X as if it
were X even if the X is greater than actual maximum that could be achieved with the die.

PULSE
This Las weapon is able to fire several strong pulses in a short period of time. Las weapons with Pulse quality may
fire also normally if the wielder so wishes, meaning that firing Semi-Auto or Full-auto burst can generate several
hits and the weapon can be used for Suppressive Fire and Spray and Pray attempts. When firing normally, the hits
are scored normally and without any modification to their Damage or Penetration from Las quality. Also the
normal rules for the amount of Collateral Damage and normal rules for Bonuses to hit apply. Though a Las weapon
that is fired with Pulse mode also grants its wielder an additional +10 to hit and ignores any penalties from target
movement rate as other Las weapons.

PUMP
As Half Action, Pump-Action weapon can be reloaded with single shell of any type to be fired next.

18
QUIET
The weapon can be fired without noise or it makes such a small amount of noise that hearing the sound is virtually
impossible in any but the most silent environments.

REACH
Weapon is long enough to make an attack beyond melee distance. These weapons can be used to make a melee
attack at distance up to their range value. Typical reach weapons include spears and whips. However, while taking
this advantage the wielder may not use All-Out Attack Stance. If a weapon with Reach is used in Guarded Attack
Stance, the wielder may as a Reaction make an opposed Weapon Skill Test to keep an opponent who is in front of
him from being able to move closer.
If a weapon with Reach quality also has Fast quality, its wielder, if not already engaged in a hand-to-hand combat,
automatically gains Initiative over any opponent that charges him. This does not however apply against mounted
enemies that are attacking with Reach quality weapons with higher range.
Weapons with Reach quality are likely to be unusable in confined spaces and crowds inflicting -20 Penalty to their
wielder’s Weapon Skill in narrow corridors etc. and when surrounded by three or more foes.

RECHARGE
Because of the volatile nature of the weapon’s ammunition or due to the way it fires, the weapon needs time
between shots to Recharge. The weapon must spend the Round after firing building up a charge and cannot be
fired—in effect you can only fire the weapon every other Round.

RECOIL (X)
Such is the weapon’s ferocious recoil it requires Strength Bonus of X to be used without problems. Weaker
characters suffer a –10 BS penalty for each point of Strength Bonus below X. If recoil weapon is classed as Pistol,
then owing to their sheer ungainly size and recoil unless the firer has a Strength Bonus of X or more, recoil weapon
counts as a Basic weapon and must be used with two hands.
Spray weapons with recoil only ever inflict levels of Soak if the user has Strength Bonus of X.
If recoil weapon is braced add +2 to Strength Bonus of its firer when checking for recoil weapon Strength Bonus
requirement. Mounted weapons are unaffected by recoil quality.

RELIABLE
Based on tried and true technology, Reliable weapons seldom fail. If a Reliable weapon Jams, roll 1d10 and only on
a roll of 10 has it in fact Jammed, otherwise it just misses as normal. Note that this quality works differently if the
weapon has certain other qualities too. These differences are then described in the descriptions for these other
qualities.

REVOLVER
The weapon has a rotating ammo feed chamber that offers the functionality of a Fire Selector.

ROBUST (X)
The weapon has good structural strength. Whenever the weapon would otherwise break instead that weapon
loses one level of Robust quality. Only if the Robust quality was already reduced to zero when a break occurs, the
weapon is broken as usual.

19
SCATTER
The standard ammunition of these weapons spreads out when fired, hitting more of the target. If fired at a foe
within Short range, each two degrees of success the firer scores, indicates another hit. This effect is cumulative
with any extra hits scored for using semi-auto or full auto fire mode. However, when assigning hits with semi-auto
or full-auto fire modes, they are randomly assigned other targets near the original target. When a hit is scored with
scatter weapon, aiming or degrees of success do not grant or modify Proven quality nor Penetration, even when
using semi-auto or full auto fire modes. Scatter weapon cannot be used to make called shots. All additional hits to
same target are not resolved as separate hits but instead each additional hit gives the combined hit a Proven(3)
quality or increases an existing Proven quality for this combined hit by one level. If this combined hit would gain
Proven quality with level 5 or more, the target will suffer a secondary combined hit to some connected hit location
and this hit is similar in all terms to the primary combined hit but has -3 to the Damage.
In addition to any hits scored normally any potential targets at up to normal range are in danger and for each shot
fired, one additional hit is scored against any one random victim other than the original target in this area. These
additional hits have -3 to their Damage. Consider the area of danger to be rather narrow though. Should the to hit
roll result into a Critical Hit, then the amount of additional hits at targets within danger zone is doubled
At Point Blank range the weapon has Proven(4) quality, and at all ranges the spread of shots makes it easier to hit
granting +10 bonus to Ballistic Skill. At longer ranges this spread and energy loss of small projectiles reduces
weapons effectiveness. Scatter weapons cannot be fired at extreme range. All Armour Points and Toughness
Bonuses are increased by 2 (this can however up to double any value) against hits from scatter weapons at Long
Range.

SHIELD (AP/T)
Weapon is large enough to offer some protection even when it is not intentionally used to Parry incoming blows
etc. Shields offer given amount of AP against shots and strikes that came from behind them and hit into arm
holding the shield. If this AP is not fully penetrated the shield offers given level of Toughness Bonus that is also
reduced from the Damage.
Any hits to the shield can Damage it permanently. All Critical Hits automatically reduce the T of a Shield by one. T is
further reduced by an additional point for each multiple of T Damage applied to the Shield. If the Damage Type is
Rending, double the amount of points reduced from the Shield’s T. Should the T be reduced to 0, the shield breaks
so badly that it cannot be used nor repaired anymore.
Shields are very poorly fit for attacking and impose -20 penalty to Weapon Skill when used to make an attack.
Shield weapons grant a +25 bonus to Parry attempts. You may attempt to Parry Attacks and Counter-Attacks with a
Shield weapon even when in Neutral Stance.
Unless a Shield weapon has Agile, Fast or Light quality you must spend a Reaction to Parry with a shield.

SHOCKING
Shocking weapons can Stun their opponents with a powerful surge of energy. A target that takes at least 1 point of
Damage from a Shocking weapon, after Armour but before Toughness, must make a Hard (-20) Toughness Test,
though they receive a +10 bonus for every Armour point they have left after Penetration on the location hit. If the
target fails, he is Stunned for a number of Rounds equal to Degrees of Failure. If the target has Unnatural
Toughness Trait then the target gains +10 bonus to this Toughness Test for each level of Unnatural Toughness.
A character that is stunned for at least three Rounds also loses his feet and must succeed on a Challenging (+0)
Toughness Test or lose Consciousness for equal time instead of being Stunned.
Shocking quality does not affect any unliving creatures or those with Incorporeal, Undying, Daemonic, Machine or
Strange Physiology Traits.

SLOW
Weapon is somewhat cumbersome due to its weight and/or structure. Slow weapons cannot be used to make
Counter-Attacks and impose a -5 penalty to Weapon Skill when used for Parrying. When used to make an attack in
slow weapons reduce its wielder’s Agility Bonus by 2 when determining Initiative. Slow weapons cannot be used to
take Feint Action in combat.
Slow missile weapons also incur -20 penalty to their firer’s Ballistic Skill when firing while at move or at a running
target.

20
SMOKE (X)
Rather than inflicting Damage, these weapons throw up dense clouds of smoke to create cover. When a hit is
scored from a weapon with the Smoke quality, it creates a smokescreen Xd10 metres in diameter from the point of
impact. Unless X is not defined, then X is 1. This screen lasts for 2d10 Rounds, or less in adverse weather conditions
or if this weapon also has Linger quality, use that quality to define the time this effect lasts.
For the first 5 Rounds the weapon will replenish any smokescreen move due to Linger quality or if the screen does
not move, its radius will grow by 2m each round during this period unless already deemed dispersed.
Any creatures that move through the smoke screen area treat the area as treacherous terrain requiring characters
to make an Ordinary(+10) Agility Test each time they use Run or Charge action. If this terrain was treacherous
already, the smoke screen increases the difficulty instead by one step.
Also the smoke reduces any visibility to about 1,5 meters to anything within the smoke.

SNARE (X)
Weapons with this quality are designed to entangle enemies. On a successful hit, the target is immobilised. Level
to which the target is immobilised is determined by the X which is the number of immobilized body parts. Consult
table Immobilised Body Parts to see which locations are snared. An immobilised body part cannot be used to
anything else except to try to escape the bonds. The target can attempt as a Full Action to burst the bonds (a Hard
(-20) Strength Test) or wriggle free (a Hard (-20) Agility or Contortionist Test) in his Turn. A success releases one
body part of choice per Degree of Success. The target is considered helpless until he escapes if all arms are
immobilised. If the weapon was of Good Craftsmanship it imposes a further -10 Penalty to attempts to burst the
bonds or wriggle free. Best Craftsmanship weapons inflict additional -10 Penalty to bursting and wriggling free on
top of the one from Good Craftsmanship.

SPLINTERING
Weapon fires bullets that are designed to inflict maximum tissue damage. Ammunition of these weapons break
apart upon impact. Any armour protects against these bullets with double AP. If target's Armour Points were
reduced to zero by weapon's penetration or target had no armour at all then add +1 to Damage and add +2 to the
Severity of any Critical Hits caused. Otherwise only add +1 to the Severity of any Critical Hits caused and double
any damage caused to armour from this hit.

21
SPRAY
Spray weapons project a cone of liquid, flame or something similar out to the range of the weapon. Unlike other
weapons, Spray weapons have just one range, and when fired, cast their attack out to this distance. The wielder
does Test Ballistic Skill for the full effects, but for actual hits he simply points and fires the weapon and creatures in
the path of the spray – a cone-shaped area extending in a 30-degree arc from the firer out to the weapon’s range
unless otherwise stated – are struck by the spray. Those creatures may (but do not need to) immediately try
avoiding spray. Avoiding spray uses up character’s Reaction to attempt a Dive for Cover Action. Those trying to
avoid spray try moving out from cone by shortest possible route or beyond any obstacle within reach.
Attempt to avoid spray is not an Opposed Test, is made as a Difficult (-10) Dodge Test unless the Attacker
succeeded their Ballistic Skill Test, in which case the Dodge Test is Hard(-20) and should the Attacker roll a Fumble
the test to avoid the Flames is Ordinary (+10) Dodge Test. A successful Dodge test moves the character to the edge
of the area of effect, as long as it is no further away than the character’s Agility bonus in metres. If the character
would need to move further than this to avoid the attack, or is unable to be moved out of the way due to an
obstruction of some sort (such as the confines of a tight corridor), then he automatically fails the Test. Those
unable to avoid spray due to failure in Dodge Test or because avoiding did not take them out from the area of
spray take Damage from the Spray weapon normally gaining a level of Soak for each Degree of Failure to a
maximum of three levels, which is also the result if there was no way of avoiding the spray or the creature did not
try avoiding the Spray. The exact effect of Soak levels (if there is any) is detailed by other qualities of the weapon
or in its description. If the Attacker succeeds his Ballistic Skill Test, then for each two Degrees of Success he may
add one additional level of Soak to any target that was not able to avoid the Spray. Against vehicles, simply always
add 4 levels of soak.
Because Spray weapons make no actual roll to hit, they are always considered to hit targets in the body.
Spray quality weapon consumes additional ammo for each Degree of Failure the Attacker suffers with their Ballistic
Skill test. However, only up to two extra ammos in total are consumed even if the result is higher. If the weapon
does not have enough ammunition in the clip to pay up the higher consumption, the attack has its Damage and
Penetration reduced by one per unavailable ammo for any Damage rolls that are still to be made for this attack.
Reliable Flame weapons never consume extra ammo while Unreliable versions can consume up to 4 additional
ammos.
Weapons with Spray quality do not cause Critical Hits unless causing Critical Hits from Damage. Any effects from
Righteous Fury are applied only to one of the targets (player’s choice) that were already otherwise affected with
the Spray.

STICK
The weapon is designed so that it is very hard to pull off from a wound or piece of armour. When a hit with Stick
quality weapon is scored with 1 or more degrees of success, the weapon becomes stuck into the opponent or if the
hit was parried successfully with a Shield quality weapon, it gets stuck into the shield.
The shield or limb, that has a Stick quality weapon stuck to it, is hard to use and there is a -30 penalty to all tests
with that shield or limb. A character who was hit with a Stick quality weapon that did penetrate his armour fully
has the weapon stuck into his flesh and he must pass a Challenging (0) Toughness Test each round of combat or
gain a level of Fatigue.
Removing a stuck weapon is a Full Action and is done as a Difficult (-10) Strength Test. If the Stick quality weapon is
stuck in the flesh then each time the removal is attempted the character suffers Rending unprotected Critical Hit
from Damage with Severity 1 (make still a d100 from the Severity Table to get the final Severity) to the location
where the weapon is stuck.

22
TEARING
Tearing melee weapons are vicious devices, often using multitudes of fast-moving jagged teeth to rip into flesh and
bone. Ranged weapons use explosive or multi-shot ammunition that is very likely to cause severe damage by
shredding the victim’s tissues. These weapons deal devastating damage to any unarmoured target and to those
whose armour is too weak to protect them. If the victim does not benefit from Protection armour quality, these
weapons add +3 to the severity of any Critical Hit.

TIRING
Tiring weapons are either very heavy to use or difficult handle in a longer fight. Tiring weapons become Slow and
the wielder receives -1 penalty to Strength Bonus (down to minimum of 0) each Round after first 2 Rounds of
combat.

TOXIC (X)
Some weapons rely on toxins and poisons to do their damage. Anyone that takes Damage from a Toxic weapon,
after reduction for Armour must make a Toughness Test with a –5 penalty for every point of Damage taken over
Toughness Bonus. Success indicates that victim suffers one level of Fatigue but there is no further effect from the
weapon. Failure however causes one level of Fatigue and deals an immediate X (if X is not given, use 1d10) points
of Impact Damage to the target with no reduction from Armour or Toughness Bonus. If poisonous effect dealt 4 or
more points of Damage then the victim is overwhelmed with agony and loses his next Round. After initiative for
the next round has been resolved victim must make a Challenging (+0) Toughness Test or suffer further X/2 (round
down) points of Impact Damage with no reduction from Armour or Toughness Bonus.
Note that the Damage done with Toxic quality is separate from the actual Damage done by the weapon and it does
not share any other qualities the weapon’s normal Damage has. Also the Damage from Toxic quality is not added
to the weapon’s Damage when checking for Critical Hits or Critical Effects. Damage done by Toxic quality does not
cause Critical Hits, but instead it instantly kills its victim, if he has had his Wounds reduced to 0 and there’s still
unapplied Damage from Poison quality equal to amount above his Toughness Bonus.
Toxic weapons do not affect those that have Daemonic, Stuff of Nightmares/Undying, Machine or Incorporeal
Traits.

UNARMED
The weapon is a mere upgrade to your fists or legs and their reach is somewhat limited. When fighting against
opponent with a weapon that does not have the Unarmed quality, you are still considered unarmed. However,
against foes without any weapon at all, you still count as being armed.

UNBALANCED
Heavy and difficult to ready after an attack, these kinds of weapons impose a –15% penalty when used to Parry.
Unbalanced weapons cannot be used to make Counter-Attacks. Unbalanced ranged weapons impose -10 penalty
to Ballistic Skill unless they are Braced.

UNRELIABLE
Certain weapons misfire more often than normal because they are badly maintained or constructed. An Unreliable
weapon suffers a Jam on a roll of 90 or higher, and on 85+ if fired on Full Auto. On any roll of double less than 90
the weapon does not Jam but fails to fire, but still uses up one round of ammunition. Unreliable weapons add +1 to
any roll on overheat or any other weapon mishap table.

23
UNSTABLE
Weapons with this quality use ammunition that is both volatile and unstable and can react unpredictably when
detonated. When an Unstable weapon is fired check the result on dice that was rolled for ones and consult table
Unstable Weapon Fire. If weapon does not need roll for to hit (ex. for having Flame quality) roll 1d10 to see what
effect the Unstable quality provides. Note that these effects are in addition to those that otherwise are caused by
firing the weapon and rolling Jam or Mishap.
U NSTABLE W EAPON F IRE
Roll Effect

1-7 Weapon was fired normally.

Weapon fired with slightly lower power imposing -2 penalty to Damage. If the to hit roll resulted a Jam, the weapon must be re-
8
prepared (Full Action) before it can be fired again.

Weapon fired with very low power. Damage is halved rounding up left over Damage. If the to hit roll resulted a Jam, the weapon
9 must be cleared of all the remaining ammo and reloaded before it can be fired again, meaning that the weapon needs to be
reloaded twice.

Weapon was fired with exceptional power granting +2 to Damage and +1 to Penetration. If the to hit roll result was a Jam the
0 weapon explodes dealing its normal damage to firer and if the weapon had ammunition with Blast quality, the Blast is centred on
the firer or if the weapon had Spray quality it explodes with as if having had Blast(2) quality.

UNWIELDY
Huge and often top-heavy, Unwieldy weapons are too awkward to be used defensively. Unwieldy weapons cannot
be used to Parry. When using unwieldy weapon its user cannot take Feint or Defensive Stance Actions in combat.

WEB
The weapon fires special chem-filaments that entangle its victim. Targets are quickly entangled in a painful
embrace; if they attempt to struggle the filaments constrict even more, further entrapping them. In addition to the
normal effects of Snare weapons, each time an ensnared character fails a Strength or Agility Test to escape he
imposes a cumulative –10 penalty on future tests. Should this exceed –30, the character takes 1d5+1 Damage for
each future failed test. The webbing breaks down on its own and flakes away after 1d5 hours or with special
solvent.
Web quality weapons cannot be fired beyond their Normal Range as the web spreads and falls about after a short
flight.

WOODEN / WEAK
The weapon either of weak structure or is made completely from wood. When Wooden or Weak quality weapon
may break if it is used to Parry an Attack or the Attack made by it is Parried with a weapon that does not have the
Flimsy quality.
Wooden and Weak quality weapons break when a Parry with them results a Fumble while Parrying an Attack
without Flimsy quality; or an Attack with them results a Fumble while a Parry without Flimsy quality succeeds.
Weak and Wooden weapons do not gain any bonuses to Penetration when used in All-Out Attack Stance.

24
SHOOTING WEAPONS
LAS WEAPONS
Laser or “las” weapons are the most numerous weapons found in the Imperium. Based on reliable technology,
they are cheap to manufacture and easy to maintain. Las weapons work by emitting short, sharp pulses of laser
energy emitted from high-storage fast-discharge capacitors, with a flash of light and a distinctive snap like the
cracking of a whip as the trigger is pulled. To use the various classes of las weapons you must have the Pistol
Training (Las), Basic Weapon Training (Las) or Heavy Weapon Training (Las) talents.
C ADIAN P ATTERN H ELLGUN
Class: Basic (Las)
There are many different variants of the boosted lasweapons known as hellguns and hellpistols, although as a
general rule these weapons hit harder and cut through more armour than the standard lasgun. Their prohibitive
manufacturing requirements, reliance on bulky backpack power units, and less reliable nature keeps them from
being issued en masse to Imperial Guard regiments. However, hellweapons (or ‘hotshot las-weapons’ as they are
also known) are still favoured by the Imperial Guard’s elite Storm Troopers—as well as any number of agents for
the Throne—as powerful weapons.
The Calixian Storm Trooper Companies prefer to equip their forces with the Cadian pattern hellweapons. Constant
warfare means these weapons have been enhanced to the point that they can cut through something as tough as
power armour, making them extremely popular on the front lines. Cadian Pattern Hellguns can either be used with
a Backpack Power Pack (350 Thrones, Rare, 20kg, Clip: 85), or smaller backpack units designed to be slung under
standard field packs. These smaller units weigh 10 kg, and provide the hellgun with the listed ammunition capacity
and reloading times. Each small Backpack Unit costs 100 Thrones and is Rare.
Cadian pattern hellguns are also equipped with built-in targeters. This does not count towards the weapon’s one-
sight limit.

Class: Pistol (Las)
Cadian Pattern Hellpistol is a masterful piece of weapon art as it uses same technology as Cadian Pattern Hellguns,
but has been shrunk into a size of sidearm. The Calixian Storm Trooper Companies prefer to equip their forces with
the Cadian pattern hellweapons and therefore as for their sidearm the Cadian Hellpistol is the weapon of choice
for them.
Cadian Pattern Hellpistols can either be used with a Backpack Power Pack (350 Thrones, Rare, 25kg, Clip: 115), or
smaller backpack units designed to be slung under standard field packs. These smaller units weigh 10 kg, and
provide the hellpistol with the listed ammunition capacity and reloading times. Each small Backpack Unit costs 100
Thrones and is Rare.
Cadian pattern hellpistols are also equipped with built-in targeters. This does not count towards the weapon’s one-

A simple utility weapon, the Civitas is another model whose origins date back far into Imperial history. The Civitas
is both somewhat bulky and inefficient (owing to lower quality components than a military-grade laspistol), but
remains popular due to its ease of manufacture, longevity and simplicity of maintenance. These pistols are made
on almost every major hive world for planetary defence armouries and civilian hands.

Class: Basic (Las)
Made to the requirements of the Magnagorsk guilds by the Mechanicus sect of Sollex, the Death Light is an
extremely powerful compact lasgun with a folding stock designed to fire high-energy blasts. These blasts,
considerably stronger than a normal lasgun discharge, can easily burn through the thick insulation suits worn
throughout Magnagorsk hive. Their power hungry nature, however, means Sollex guns are far less efficient than
most las weapons and dangerous if overcharged.
Sollex weapons use standard power packs. However, owing to their more powerful charge they get
commensurately fewer shots from them. It is possible to hotshot or overcharge Sollex weapons but it is dangerous.
If this is done, they become subject to the Overheats rule. Sollex weapons have Scarce Availability in Magnogorsk

Dating back to the Skitarii cohorts that joined in the Angevin Crusade to conquer the Calixis Sector, this pattern of
high-power, rapid discharge las weapon remains unchanged as the standard armament of the elite Skitarii Secutor
squads. As well as delivering a larger charge, hellgun blasts are more focused than those of a lasgun and capable of
easily punching through light armour, inflicting distinctive “through-and-through” burn wounds on their victims.
These matte-black weapons receive energy from a power capacitor usually attached to the backpack of the
Secutor’s carapace armour, but can use standard lasgun power packs if needed, although they will only get twelve
shots from a pack before exhausting it. If used without power capacitor unit, the weight of hellgun is reduced by -3

are named in honour of the warrior saint and bear a crude stamp of his profile on their casing. A simple charge
repeater lasgun, the Drusus Prime is perhaps the most widely produced long arm in the sector, and the sheer

K HAYER -A DDIN D UELLING L AS

Class: Pistol (Las)
A masterwork of the gunsmith’s art, these weapons are handcrafted to the highest quality by the Khayer-Addin
and designed around the “single shot kill”, using a unique charge cartridge which is, in essence, a pre-loaded hot-
shot pack. This single powerful blast is particularly effective against armoured targets and belies the pistol’s
elegant appearance. The duelling las holds a special reverence and place in folklore in Gunmetal City where they
are known as “Valentines” in local parlance, named for a near mythical gunslinger from Metallacian history.
Conversely, in some of the more rarefied climes where duelling with pistols remains popular, such as the high
spires of Sibellus, some consider this class of weapon’s power “unsporting” and so lethal as to take all the skill out
of things (particularly if you wish to wound or maim).
The Valentine uses special single-shot cells rather than standard power packs; these cells are Rare items with a
base cost of 20 Thrones each. The Valentine cannot be combined with an overcharge pack or an additional hot-
shot charge.

Merovech Combine is a major supplier of las-weapons, known for the ironwood stocks and side-panels on their
products. The Combine is based throughout the Calixis Sector, and is working to expand their workings into the
Koronus Expanse. Generally their weapons are sturdy and robust and viewed favorably; veteran guardsmen look
for the deep red wood of a Merovech lasgun, and eagerly trade new recruits for their “cheap, wooden weapons.”
Designed purely for close range assaults, this gun is heavily reinforced and has a bayonet built into its short and
heavy frame. Slots for two power packs are included so the gun can switch to a fresh pack with no reloading. Since
the firefights it’s designed for are typically over long before two packs are exhausted, it serves its design perfectly.
Each Merovech Assault Lasgun features a fully balanced structure with very long bladed sword-like bayonet. This
weapon may be equipped with any lasgun ammo but both clips must be of the same type. Merovech Assault

S YNAPSE D ISRUPTOR
Class: Basic (Las)
The Terlain Cluster, found trailing from the Hazeroth Abyss, has long been a hub of the Cold Trade. It is home to
many unscrupulous weapon smugglers and Rogue Traders visiting who seek out exotic items to fill the vaults and
armouries of jaded Calixian nobles. While of limited battlefi eld use, Synapse Disruptors are carried by the
reptilian-looking Vault-Keepers of the cluster. The weapon has found populararity with flesh merchants, pit-
fighters, and those who simply delight in the unusual for their methods of inflicting pain and discomfort.
Insidiously, the weapon is often manufactured to look like a standard Imperium lasgun and only by taking it apart
or seeing it in operation can one discern its true nature. For that reason, Ordo Malleus agents make use of the
weapon when seeking to capture or disrupt cult activities without overt force.
Synapse Disruptors fire a near-invisible beam at their target, the initial effect of which is a dull-ache beginning in
the extremities. To have the full effect on target, the beam must be maintained for three rounds requiring a
successful Ballistic Skill Test each round to keep it “locked” on the victim, if the target moves about or the firer is
distracted. If the beam is maintained then the target must make a Difficult (-10) Willpower Test. The first failure
causes a delusional state, requiring the target to roll on the Hallucinogen Effects Table. If the Synapse Disruptor is
kept trained on the target then for each further three rounds the beam is maintained the target must make a
second Hard (-20) Willpower Test. Each time the target fails the effects escalate and the target suffers a –20
penalty (the penalty is not cumulative) to any Test requiring concentration and must make an additional roll on the
Hallucinogen Effects Table. This effect lasts for 1d5+1 minutes after exposure .
Synapse Disruptors often appear as normal lasguns but require special power cells that cost 200 thrones each, but
can be recharged in the same manner as a normal power cell.

Palm guns are a popular choice for those who wish a covert weapon without the high expense of a digi-weapon.
When assembled they appear as a small barrel with horizontal hand-grip. To fire, they are clasped within the fist
with the barrel sticking out between the middle fi ngers. Single-shot only, they are dangerous to use, and many
wielders have lost a finger due to imprecise or hasty fi ring. While prevalent throughout the sector, they originated
on the Hive world of Baraspine and it is there that the “art” of the palm gun is at its highest, with overt weaponry
being considered crass within the hive.
Baraspian Palm Guns are difficult to detect and can be readily taken apart into unobtrusive objects, often
appearing as simple tools or items of jewellery to those unfamiliar with the weapon. It takes an Ordinary (+10)
Tech-Use Test to assemble or disassemble a Palm Gun and, when deconstructed, searches and Tests to recognize it
as a weapon have a –30 penalty. A roll of 94-00 on the firer’s Ballistic Skill Test when using it indicates that the user
has shot himself — resolve as a successful attack on the arm location used to fire the weapon with 1 degree of

“B LACKHAMMER ” S CATHEROS D EFENCE S HOTGUN

Class: Basic (SP)
Notorious for its sheer destructive power, the Blackhammer comprises of a carefully crafted barrel fitted to an
equally well-crafted stock and firing mechanism, all constructed to safely fire a single massive shell, more than
twice the size of a standard shotgun cartridge with many times the power. Each shell is custom-made and filled
with dozens of heavy pellets the size of stubber rounds, backed by a huge charge; the quality of the barrel breach
and stock are vital to keep the weapon from tearing itself apart with every firing. The Blackhammer itself is a rarity
whose fame often precedes it. The weapon’s short range and single-shot capacity are often overlooked in favour of
its immense stopping power, although, like many such weapons, it can prove dramatically less effective against
targets with substantial “hard” armour.
The Blackhammer’s shells count as Exotic ammunition.

Although mistakenly regarded by many as a pure police force, it is far from unknown for the Arbites to engage in
suppressing what are, in effect, full blown wars between opposing national, or even planetary, forces. As such,
they have access to powerful heavy weapons to ensure that they are able to fulfil their divine mandate. The
Arbites value reliability, tactical flexibility, and a menacing appearance in their weapons, and these qualities are
expressed fully in the Bulldog Heavy Stubber. The Bulldog is regarded with great affection by its proponents, whom
it has served faithfully since the Angevin Crusade. The weapon can be switched between belt or magazine feed
easily, can accept a variety of exotic ammunition types without complaint, and can be carried at the hip in a gyro-

The Volg VI has one simple virtue—its ease of manufacture. The “Crank Cannon” uses cheaply prefabricated parts
and standard heavy stubber ammo. Its firing mechanism is purely hand-powered, the firer literally cranking the
firing handle to grind the ammo belts through the breach and rotate the weapon’s quad barrels. Originally
produced as an inexpensive and mechanically simple weapon to defend against Hive Volg’s many treacherous
forms of wildlife, the “Big-Six”, as it is also known, has proved to be a great success despite its drawbacks. The
weapon is produced in huge numbers on Fenksworld and exported to cheaply supply low-grade PDF forces and the

H ACK S HOTGUN
Class: Pistol (SP)
Known by a wide variety of nicknames on different worlds, this is a conventional double-barrel shotgun, cut down
to the smallest possible size and rigged to fire both of its barrels at once from a single trigger pull. Although very
short-ranged and hardly a precision weapon, the twin blast is still devastating against “soft targets” (such as
unarmoured civilians), and the sight of one can have a very salutary effect on bystanders. A Hack is no substitute
for a true combat weapon though, as many a ganger faced with carapace-armoured enforcers has found to their
cost.
Although it only fires a single blast, it uses two shotgun shells at once. The Scatter quality now provides +30 to hit
and double the amount of hits against random victims. Also the area of danger is rather conelike just as with Spray
weapons. If loaded with a single shell it only inflicts 1d10+1 P Damage.

Proscribed by the Adeptus Mechanicus for its effects on their holy engines, this short, brutish weapon fires large-

a directed energy discharge that effectively passes through augmetic armour or machine plating. A woefully slow
rate of fire and short range counter this useful trait. Whilst useful for missions where the nature of the defences is
known in advance, it has limited use against more varied targets. The Haywire Rifle doubles its Pen value and gains
Shocking and Plasma qualities against targets with the Machine Trait, or those judged by the GM to be similar in
nature (such as the lock system for a blast door). The Shocking quality of Haywire rifle affects Machine Trait, even

The construction of these weapons is, by ancient tradition, one of the tests of craft that each would-be tech-priest
armourer must undertake under the tutelage of the Myrmidon Warsmiths of the Panopticon Orbital in the Lathe
System. Aspirants are given a complex and randomly incomplete pattern for the weapon, and through skill and
divination must produce a working gun to their master’s satisfaction. The successful finished articles are then
offered up to the Omnissiah as a sacrifice, and vaporised on the plasma-fire altars of the Machine God. It is quite
common for the tech-priests who have studied at the Panopticon to continue to make these pistols in this
ritualistic way as a form of mediation and to hone their skills, either using them as personal armaments or giving

Class: Pistol (SP)
Known locally as the “zip gun” or “chopper”, this bulky autopistol is purposely designed to be a cheap as possible
to manufacture and maintain. Rather than caseless ammo, the Ripper Clip uses basic stub rounds and the weapon
itself is made from industrial spares and crude pressed metal parts. A further eccentricity of its design is its loading
mechanism, a vertical strip of bullets wrenched through the autopistol as it fires (a feature copied from a common
rivet gun). This unusual arrangement creates a distinctively loud banging-rattle when used, often ending with a
clatter as the spent strip hits the floor—unfortunately advertising that the user is out of ammo! Despite the gun’s
many shortcomings there’s no shortage of buyers on Volg, where any extra firepower you can lay your hands on

Featuring a tri-mag shot selection system, it not only has a huge capacity of fire, but the flexibility of freely
switching between multiple loads. Beneath the blocky barrel-shroud, the Spectre also mounts an integral shotgun

famed weapon to come from the forges of Gunmetal, but it is all that stands between starvation and an
unpleasant death on the margins of many a world and justly respected for that. Although mainly intended for
frontier settlements and agri-worlds, many Steadholders spill onto the black markets of the worlds where they are
manufactured, ending up in the hands of gangs and low-rent hired guns. Considerable numbers have found their
way into the hands of Redemptionists where the gun’s ease of use and low cost make it suitable for fresh and

circuitry-traced bullets are given an electro-static charge. This results in the characteristic high-pitched whining
crack of the Sting-Blunt, and causes those hit to be given an electric shock together with the impact of the bullet.

So named because it’s a “mercy if it kills what you’re aiming at”, this weapon exemplifies any number of crude,

whatever materials are to hand, these single-shot stub pistols are wildly inaccurate and often as dangerous to the
firer as the target. In Hive Volg however, the provision of Mercy Killers has gone somewhat further than
enterprising criminals bodging up home-brewed pistols, and the “higher powers” of Fenksworld manufacture
Mercy Killers en-masse as part of their drive to arm the Volgites as inexpensively as possible. Indeed, a Mercy Killer
and a handful of bullets cost less in Volg than a trencher of parboiled murk fungus to eat and a demi-litre of recyk
water to wash it down with.

V OX L EGI -P ATTERN A RBITES C OMBAT S HOTGUN

Class: Basic (SP)
The primary weapon of the Arbites is the combat shotgun. It is valued for its stopping power, simplicity, reliability,
and for its ability to intimidate. Even the most dusty, ancient Judge haunting the Halls of Judgement on Terra will
have cut his teeth on the brutally effective shotgun drills which form the foundation of all Arbites combat training.

46
A huge variety of different shotgun designs are used in different Precinct Fortresses across the galaxy, depending
upon local forge worlds. The Vox Legi-pattern is particularly widespread amongst the Arbitrators of The Periphery,
and is broadly typical of the weapons favoured by Calixian Arbitrators. Effectively a large-bore, locally
manufactured version of the shotgun designs used by many planetary enforcers, the Vox Legi is a devastating and
adaptable weapon that fires shotgun shells nearly the size of those employed by the Adeptus Astartes. The
increased size of the weapon reduces its ammunition capacity compared to that of its fellow shotguns, but it still
remains more powerful and adaptable than a standard shotgun. Most patrolling Arbitrators take advantage of this
flexibility by carrying a variety of shotgun shell types so as to offer them different tactical options in the event of
encountering a situation that requires their intervention.
Over-engineered by a considerable margin, the weapon is also perfectly capable of being used as a large club—
indeed, it is expressly designed with this secondary purpose in mind. It is also designed for maximum psychological
impact, with a very audible pump action (standard Arbites riot training makes use of this). The sound of a hundred
Arbitrators simultaneously chambering their weapons has ended countless riots over the millennia.

BOLT WEAPONS
If there is one weapon type that defines the Imperium, it is the bolter. No other weapon combines high technology
levels with deliberate brutality, and no other race would consider making it but mankind. Bolter weapons fire
rounds of self-propelled mass-reactive shells called bolts, set to explode just after penetration. Overall they are
superb, if temperamental, devices requiring skilled maintenance using the correct rituals and blessings.
Furthermore, these are all very rare weapons, available only to the lucky or well-connected few. Many are
centuries old, handed down from veteran to successor, and some have long legends attached to them of their
great lineage. It would be a mistake to confuse these “civilian” issue weapons with those of the Adeptus Astartes.
Bolter ammunition is expensive and difficult to manufacture, and only the elite of the Imperium has ready access
to it. The standard bolter round is .75 calibre and has a super-dense metallic core with a diamantine tip. To use the
various classes of bolt weapons you must have the Pistol Training (Bolt), Basic Weapon Training (Bolt) or Heavy
Weapon Training (Bolt) talents.
A NGELUS B OLT C ARBINE
Class: Basic (Bolt)
The fanes of Gunmetal, among their most important duties, hold an oath-bond to manufacture the casing and
primary propulsion charges for Astartes calibre bolt shells. Production of the Astartes bolts is carefully controlled
and monitored, and once made, each case is stamped with the aquila and its maker’s mark before being passed on
to the Adepts of the Machine God. Despite the security and precautions inherent in this sacred duty, it is said a few
of these shells never see the aquila stamp. These so called “blind shells” are both utterly illegal and highly
desirable, but on their own, blind shells are useless without a weapon to fire them. Consequently, the Fane of
Fykos makes in secret a weapon known as the “Angelus”.
Bluntly elegant in shape and crafted from the finest materials, the Angelus’s lacquered stock houses its magazine
and unlocks to take three Astartes calibre (Heavy Bolter) bolt shells snugly nose to tail. Provided only to their
richest and most trustworthy of clients, the exclusivity and terrible killing power of the Angelus is favoured by the
wealthiest of bounty hunters and the most accomplished of beast-slayers in the Calixis Sector. Carrying one of

Class: Pistol (Bolt)
Little more than a crudely modified Lucifer pattern launcher (a handgun-like device common on frontier worlds for
firing signal flares, tow lines and the like), the Spitfire was an innovation that, according to popular myth, was
devised by an outcast Magnavar tech-adept named Verey. The story has it that while she was exiled in Volg, she
made the first Spitfires to help combat a swarming of giant Maw-flukes. The weapon proved both effective and
popular, and the more talented of Volg’s arms dealers have been turning them out ever since. The Spitfire’s fame
and construction has spread and some are even sold at inflated prices as real “bolt pistols” to those too provincial
or naive to know better!

MELTA WEAPONS
Melta weapons (also known as cookers or melters) are a specialist type of weapon that have short ranges but are
devastatingly powerful. Most work by combining highly pressurised gases into an unstable sub-molecular thermal
state, which is fired out in an intense blast of heat that can turn even tank armour into molten slag. Targets are
vaporised within seconds, usually accompanied by a distinctive hissing sound as the beam boils away the water
vapour in the air. Melta weapons use a sort dual fire mechanism as the first fire a short laser pulse to clear out a
small "tunnel" into air and right afterwards the pressurized high-heat gas is released through this tunnel. To use
the various classes of melta weapons you must have the Pistol Training (Melta), Basic Weapon Training (Melta), or
Heavy Weapon Training (Melta) talents.

PLASMA WEAPONS
Plasma weapons represent an almost lost art for the Imperium. The secrets of their manufacture are now known
to but a handful of the inner circle of the Adeptus Mechanicus Magos Munitorum and their tech-adept artisans.
They function by using sturdy flasks of hydrogen suspended in a photonic state to provide the fuel needed for the
plasma reaction. This photohydrogen fuel core gives off tremendous heat when fired and the firer often must wait
for the core to cool and recharge between shots. To use the various classes of plasma weapons you must have the
Pistol Training (Plasma), Basic Weapon Training (Plasma) or Heavy Weapon Training (Plasma) talents.

FLAME WEAPONS
Flame weapons all operate in much the same manner by firing gouts of flame at the target. They use a fuel
generically referred to as promethium, though it can also consist of home-made concoctions or other chemical
brews depending on the local technology level. Once produced, the intense jet that spurts from the barrel creates
a torrent of liquid fire, which spreads out in an inferno that burns even on water. Once set ablaze, enemies are
hard-pressed to put out the fire. To use the various classes of flame weapons you must have the Pistol Training
(Flame), Basic Weapon Training (Flame) or Heavy Weapon Training (Flame) talents.

The “torch” or “gas-lighter”, as most call it, is not strictly a weapon but an industrial tool that uses incandescent
vapour to burn debris and clear the fungal growths that plague many hive duct-systems. The “gas-lighter” also
serves well enough as a flamer for many low-rent hive gangs who can’t afford the real thing and is frequently
found in the hands of insurrectionists. The “torch” is nowhere near as effective (or stable) as a true flamer, but it is
easy to procure and the wash of burning gas can still crisp flesh to cinders. The weapon it self is very light, but it
requires a heavy tank of gas that is usually carried separately with a backpack offering only a feeding tube for the
flamer. These canisters have Plentiful availability and they cost around 5 thrones and each refill costs about 2
thrones.
Gas torches use bulky, ill-protected canisters to carry their fuel. If an individual carrying a gas torch flamer suffers a

armour is quite effective protection against the mixture. Notoriously, the tox spray is used by the gangers of Hive

there are few worse ways to die.

B ANEBLADE C ANNON
The Mega Battle Cannon, also called the Baneblade Cannon, is a larger, 10-metre-long version of the standard
Imperial Battle Cannon and fires rocket-propelled ammunition.
It is the primary armament of the Baneblade Super Heavy Tank, the most commonly deployed super-heavy tank of
the Astra Militarum.
The Baneblade Cannon is possessed of great range, able to strike targets many kilometres away. Each of its shells is
a metre in length and is outfitted with rear-mounted stabilization fins and a small amount of solid rocket
propellant in multiple stages precisely calibrated to allow the shell to cross a given range in a precise amount of
time.
Each shell leaves the cannon's barrel under the force of the initial explosion, but once in flight, the rocket stages
ignite in turn, with each booster falling away as the next ignites, carrying the shell onto its target with a speed and
range that cannot be achieved using a single, explosive charge alone.
Though the rocket propellant allows the Baneblade Cannon's shells to be fired over a great distance with an
unusual amount of accuracy, it can also increase the chance of grave damage to the cannon if there is a build-up of
explosive gasses given off from the propellant within the weapon's barrel.
To prevent this, the Baneblade Cannon possesses a double-sleeved barrel studded by gas venting ports around the
muzzle to allow the harmful exhaust to escape with each shot.

The Battle Cannon is the standard ballistic weapon used as the primary turret armament of the Leman Russ Battle

long distance against both vehicle and infantry targets.
The Battle Cannon devastates an area and may be fired from behind cover though the weapon requires a line of
sight. The sheer power of this weapon makes it an excellent addition to the Astra Militarum's arsenal.
The Battle Cannon is a fairly conventional 120 millimetre smoothbore cannon. The standard munition is an
Armour-Piercing High Explosive (APHE) round capable of penetrating all but the heaviest armour with ease but also
containing a substantial impact-fused explosive charge with a large blast radius. This makes the Battle Cannon an

D EMOLISHER C ANNON
The Demolisher Cannon is a short-range, large-bore ballistic cannon utilised throughout the Imperium's military
forces on some of their most powerful armoured vehicles. It is intended to be used primarily as an anti-armour
weapon.
Mounted on the Leman Russ Demolisher, Thunderer Siege Tank, and the Space Marine Vindicator, the Demolisher
Cannon is a weapon designed to get up close and personal before it is fired. The Demolisher Cannon is the weapon
of choice when faced with dug-in enemy infantry in a dense environment such as urban warfare or the siege of a
fortified enemy stronghold.
The terrific blast unleashed by the detonation of the huge Demolisher shells is often sufficient to bring down
buildings in which the enemy take cover, crushing them beneath tons of fallen masonry. It is amongst the
strongest weapons fielded by the Astra Militarum at the regimental level and is highly effective when utilised for
smashing bunkers, siege warfare and urban bombardment. The sheer damage this weapon is capable of causing is
enough reason to risk firing at close-range at an enemy position. This has led to improved armour on Imperial
armoured vehicles to increase its survivability on the battlefield when facing a Demolisher Cannon.
The Demolisher Cannon's ammunition is a large calibre, rocket-assisted siege shell larger than that used in the
Battle Cannon, composed of an armour-piercing tip, heavy shell casing and large explosive charge. Each shell's
rocket engine, fuelled by a solid propellant, is shaped to control time and rate of burn for maximum accuracy. In
order to avoid the build-up of rocket back-blast, this gas is vented when the cannon is fired to prevent the barrel
from deforming or bursting from the over-pressure. Once fired, the shell is designed to explode micro-seconds
after penetration, achieving maximum damage to the target structure and its occupants.
The Demolisher Cannon is most often used in a bunker-buster role, by driving up close to enemy fortifications and
firing into them at very short range, and allowing allied forces to assault through the breach. They are also used in
urban areas, where they are aimed at the base of an enemy-held building and fired, causing the building to
collapse.

The term Dreadnought Close Combat Weapon refers to a wide variety of over-sized close combat weapons that
are used by the various Dreadnought patterns employed by the Adeptus Astartes, their erstwhile kin, the Chaos
Space Marines and the Adeptus Custodes. These weapons also when used without built-in ranged weapons, form
as sort of a baseline example of massive vehicle close combat weapon.
These massive weapons are specialised in destroying enemies at close quarters, and take the form of massive fists,
claws, hammers, shields, drills or blades. The weapons attach to the end of the Dreadnought's weapon arms, or in
some cases take up the entirety of the arm itself.
The vast majority of Dreadnought Close Combat Weapons feature built-in ranged weapons such as Storm Bolters
or Heavy Flamers.
These weapons, depending on the Dreadnought Close Combat Weapon's size and shape as well as the

E ARTHSHAKER C ANNON
The Earthshaker Cannon is the standard heavy artillery piece used by the siege regiments of the Imperial Guard. Its
shells are packed with powerful high-explosives that will destroy nearly anything within a sizable radius. Besides its
field artillery companies, the backbone of any siege regiment of the Imperial Guard are its heavy artillery
companies. The heavy artillery pieces used by these companies are the big guns, deployed well back from the front
lines to provide a sustained bombardment of the enemy forces during a major set-piece engagement. Imperial
heavy artillery includes the Imperial Guard's workhorse Earthshaker Cannon, and the aging Medusa heavy siege
gun. Both types of heavy artillery fire sustained bombardments, box barrages to isolate a battlefield from enemy
reinforcements, harassing fire during an enemy advance, counter-battery fire to suppress enemy artillery and
destructive fire at selected enemy units, all spotted for by artillery officers who serve in the dangerous duty as
forward observers on the front lines.
These weapons are often fired in a suppression mode, where the actual enemy cannot be seen and only their
rough location is known. In these cases, shells and the like can be fired without any actual line of sight required,
often in conjunction with a spotter who directs fire from the weapon. Any ally with an auspex or who can see the
target can assist with indirect fire. When making any ranged attack Action with an Earthshaker Cannon, the attack
does not have to target a location in line of sight of the active player, but is made at a –10 penalty and requires a
Full Action instead of the normal Half Action. The active character, however, must be aware of his intended target,
either by using the target’s last known position, through the use of a spotter, or through other means. The GM
makes the final determination on whether or not the character is aware of his target’s location and may add
penalties to this ranged attack based on how aware the character is of his target.
For each hit with the ranged attack, roll once on the Scatter Diagram. The hit instead strikes the ground at a
location a number of metres away from the intended target, in the direction rolled on the Scatter Diagram, equal
to 1d10 minus the firer’s Ballistic Skill Bonus—to a minimum of zero.

H ARVESTER C ANNON
A Harvester Cannon is a large, multi-barrelled, rapid-firing weapon that is wielded by Soul Grinder Daemon
Engines. The Soul Grinder is usually armed with a single Harvester Cannon on one arm, used in conjunction with an
Iron Claw close combat weapon located on its other arm.
The weapon is attached to the Daemon's wrist, on its right arm and can be used with an organic pincer version of
the Iron Claw that it wields on its other arm or with a daemonic Warpsword.
The Harvester Cannon is capable of firing large calibre solid shells that are effective against infantry and light
vehicles and can also fire specialised flak shells to engage enemy aircraft.

H AVOC M ISSILE L AUNCHER

A Havoc Missile Launcher is an Imperial Missile Launcher system that was widely used by the Space Marine Legions
during the Great Crusade as an additional assault weapon for their vehicles.
The weapon is a simple, yet effective multi-barrelled Missile Launcher that can fire clusters of high-explosive
munitions. The Havoc Missile Launcher system is believed to be the precursor of the Cyclone Missile Launcher
system used by present-day Space Marine Terminators, and possibly also the massive Havoc Missile Rack used on
the Banelord-class Titan of the Traitor Titan Legions.
Havoc Missile Launchers are no longer in use by most present-day Imperial military forces, which instead use
Hunter-Killer Missile Launchers. However, the weapon is still widely used by many Traitor Legions.

They are effectively Krak Missiles with massively extended range, although only one can be mounted on a vehicle
due to their vast size. They are also unique in that they are guided weapons with an on-board artificial intelligence,
known as a "logis-engine." Sensors in the missile's nose transmit information on the target and surrounding
environment to the logis-engine, which guides the missile in flight by manipulating its stabilising fins, allowing the
missile to match the target's movements and avoid obstacles. The missile's warhead is an impact fused shaped
charge, designed for maximum armour penetration. Other instruments include an internal gyroscope for stable
flight and a small battery to power the sensor and logis-engine. When fired at vehicles, Hunter-Killer missiles that
do not suffer from Fumble always hit their target to rear armour even if the Test to hit roll is failed. Always count
Hunter-Killer that hits a vehicle as having scored 4 Degrees of Success.

I NFERNO C ANNON
The Inferno Cannon is an immense Flamer weapon used by Imperial and Traitor Titans. This weapon is commonly
mounted on Warhound-class and Warlord-class Titans but they can also be mounted on the carapace hard points
of an Imperator-class Titan. This weapon is also the primary weapon system of the Imperial Guard Malcador
Infernus super-heavy tank and Hellhound-pattern Chimera. The Inferno Cannon is composed of three linked
barrels that propel a liquid incendiary chemical called Promethium, a petroleum-like jelly that can stick to a target
and is very similar to the twenty-first century incendiary called napalm, that bursts into flames as it leaves the
weapon. The Inferno Cannon is primarily used as an anti-infantry weapon against ground troops on open
battlefields or under heavy cover.
Inferno cannons are usually linked to inbuilt fuel pods within the vehicle and usually cannot be loaded during
battle, but instead the fuel pods need to be refilled.

I RON C LAW / C RUSHING C LAW

An Iron Claw, sometimes referred to as a Servo Claw, is an enormous close combat weapon that is used,
sometimes as part of a pair, by Soul Grinders, Defilers, and Plague Hulks, large multi-legged Daemon Engines in the
service of the Forces of Chaos. Iron Claws are classified as Dreadnought Close Combat Weapons by Imperial
standards. The weapons usually take the form of large, piston-driven claws featuring three bladed talons or bladed
fingers and are fully capable of tearing main battle tanks into pieces and wiping out entire squads of infantry in a
single sweep. Iron Claws are also capable of being used as siege weapons, and can tear through walls and
fortifications as if they were no more substantial than tissue paper. Soul Grinders are usually armed with a single
Iron Claw on their left arm, but are also capable of being armed with one on each arm. The Soul Grinder can also
be outfitted with a second Iron Claw that is mounted on the creature's right wrist, fitted around the beast's
Harvester Cannon. When used in this way, the second claw is shaped in the form of a massive organic pincer.

The Mawcannon is a terrible Warp-based energy weapon that is used by Soul Grinders. Mawcannon is the name
given to the Soul Grinder's natural ability to unleash different types of lethal Warp energies through their mouths.
The weapon-mouth of a Soul Grinder can vomit forth a torrent of burning Warpfire known as a "Baleful Torrent"
which is capable of engulfing entire structures in blazing ethereal energy. The Soul Grinder's Mawcannon can also
spit out huge roiling masses of mutating phlegm at incredible distances, destroying entire enemy squads in one
great blast.
It can continue this form of attack throughout its time on the battlefield, which is known as a "Phlegm
Bombardment." There are some Soul Grinders that are capable of using their Mawcannon to fire their whip-like
tongues like searing energy rays.

R EAPER A UTOCANNON
The Reaper Autocannon is a double-barrelled variant of the standard Autocannon. The Reaper Autocannon was
originally designed during the Great Crusade for use as a heavy support weapon for the Terminator Squads of the
Space Marine Legions. The weapon features two barrels and is capable of a high rate of fire, but it requires the
incredible strength available to those who wear Terminator Armour to be carried as an infantry-portable weapon.
This is because the recoil of this weapon is too great for even Power Armour-wearing Space Marines to unleash it
effectively.
The weapon usually features a large blade on the end of the barrels that can be used in close combat if needed. By
the time of the late 41st Millennium, the Reaper Autocannon is no longer used by the Astartes forces of the
Imperium of Man, who have replaced it with the more effective Assault Cannon. However, Reaper Autocannons
are still a relatively common sight amongst the fragmented warbands of the Heretic Astartes. The Reaper
Autocannon is usually found in use by Chaos Terminators, but it is also employed by Defiler and Blight Drone
Daemon Engines, Helbrute walkers, and the mighty Decimator super-heavy tank.

cutting through enemy infantry and vehicles with contemptuous ease. Soul Grinders can choose to wield one of

Even in the 41st Millennium there is a call for low-tech weapons, found on feral, undeveloped planets or post-
apocalyptic environments where technology has collapsed, or on vicious hive worlds that see combat take on all
forms. Though these weapons may be hopelessly outdated by more advanced firearms, in the hands of a skilled
user they can be just as deadly. To use the various classes of primitive weapons you must have the Thrown

C ATECHIST P ATTERN S TAKE -C ROSSBOW

Class: Basic (Primitive)
An usual weapon to say the least, the Catechist-pattern is a high-power, self-loading mechanical crossbow weapon
designed not to fire regular crossbow bolts but rather specially constructed 15 centimetre adamantine-silver alloy
stakes. These stakes, as well as being diamantine-tipped and fired with sufficient force to pierce body armour, are
micro-etched with deadly prayers of anathema against the witch and the Daemon and feature razor barbs that
snap out from the stake to embed in the target’s flesh.
The special stake-bolts fired by the Catechist count as “holy” weapons, and so many have a particular effect on
certain warp creatures (as will be noted in their description) and count as having the Tearing effect when used
against targets with a Psy Rating or Sorcery. If more than 5 points of Damage are dealt after Armour and
Toughness Bonus, the bolt becomes embedded in the victim. Removing the bolt by force deals an additional 1d5
points of Damage ignoring Armour and Toughness Bonus.
Stake-bolts for the Catechist can only be acquired through the Holy Ordos itself, for the purposes of getting hold of
them they have a base price of 50 Thrones each and Rare Availability

Composite bows are constructed from a variety of materials such as wood, sinew and horn fused together under
pressure to give the bow a compact design without sacrificing power. Accurate and quick to use, composite bows
require substantial craftsmanship to make and care to look after, but offer notable advantages over most primitive
black powder weapons. Composite bows created on advanced worlds use the same principal as their forbears but
are crafted from superior materials, enabling them to shoot custom arrows that would not necessarily fly from a
bow of classical design.

Blunderbusses are also worthy of note for their seemingly indestructible ability to fire anything placed into the
barrel, and it is unsurprising to know that they are also called “scrappers” or “pelters” on some worlds, referring
largely to their foraged ammunition. A particular example, the Iocanthos blunderbuss has a notoriously short range

with an auxiliary grenade launcher can choose to either fire the launcher or the weapon it is attached to in their
Turn but not both at once.
If auxiliary grenade launcher is fitted on a weapon with Agile quality, then that weapon loses its Agile quality.

GRENADES AND MISSILES

Grenades do not benefit from Righteous Fury. Throwing grenades (or any such lightweight objects with clearly
easily throwable nature) requires no special training or Talents and is resolved using a Ballistic Skill Test just as if
the character was firing a weapon, including any modifiers for range, visibility and the like. For ease of use, treat
grenades and other such objects as Primitive thrown weapons (meaning there’s no need for the Strength Test
when checking Range) with Normal Range equal to 2x(SB + AB/2) meters but extreme range extending all the way
up to 10x(SB + AB/2) meters.
Note that some heavier grenades have their own way of calculating Ranges.
A NTI -P LANT
These grenades release a wide range of toxic and viral agents that quickly reduce almost any type of flora to a foul-
smelling muck that deprives the enemy of cover while not seriously harming other materials. Larger versions are
also used to create improvised landing zones and clear foliage for quick camp sites or building locations. It is also
noy unusual that xenos species are more plant than flesh thus suffering from the effects of this grenade.
Anti-Plant grenades only damage plants and flora. Large plants such as trees take about 5 minutes to die and
another 10 minutes to reduce into smuck. Smaller plants die and reduce within 1 minute. Anti-Plant grendes only
deal Damage to creatures and structures that are deemed living plants.

C HOKE G AS
A particularly indiscriminate and potentially lethal weapon designed for crowd control and riot dispersal, choke gas
contains a powerful irritant that attacks the eyes and respiratory system. A few lungfulls of the thick bluish gas can
reduce the most ardent of mobs to a sobbing, coughing morass. Despite its undoubted effectiveness, choke gas is
not a weapon of first choice for the Adeptus Arbites and is usually relegated to heavy raids or serious civil
crackdowns, as it has a tendency to spread through the air filtration systems common to many hives, and is
powerful enough to kill or seriously harm those of weak constitution.
Each Turn that a character is caught in the blast radius of choke gas, they suffer -20 penalty to all Tests they take
and must Test Toughness. A failed Test indicates the victim gains a level of Fatigue (multiple Rounds are
cumulative). The harmful effects of choke gas last while the character is in the blast area plus 1d10 Rounds. If a
victim of choke gas fails the Test by four or more degrees, they also reduce their Toughness Characteristic by 1d10
for 1d5–1 hours. Choke gas comes in the form of canister grenades and as launcher rounds. Choke Gas does not
affect creatures with Daemonic, Incorporeal, From Beyond, Undying, Stange Physiology or Suff of Nightmares
Traits.

modified versions of standard Stun Grenades, he was able to make them also open and vaporize the ingredienst of
installed Karrikian Frost tube. This invention provided far more powerful incapacitation than simple Stun Grenades.
Anyone caught in a frost grenade’s blast must pass a Cold Test(-20). Those who Fail this Test also become Stunned

Created by the death cults of Fervious, an ignited powder bomb unleashes a white powder throughout its blast
radius. The powder reduces visibility and the pollens used to make the powder are toxic to humans. Inhaling the
powder is rarely lethal. However, it will inflame the eyes, nose and throat, and induces serious nausea, all of which
takes a good few hours to clear. The cloud of powder disperses at a rate appropriate to the environmental
conditions.
Those caught within the blast must Test Toughness or gain one level of Fatigue. Failure by one or more degrees
also causes Disoriented(10-TB Rounds). This does not affect creatures with Daemonic, Incorporeal, From Beyond,

P SYK -O UT G RENADE
Terrifying to psykers, Psyk-Out grenades are extremely rare and controlled weapons, typically available only to the
most fervent and loyal of the Imperium’s servants. Manufactured solely on Holy Terra, Psyk-Out grenades contain
minute dust particles which are impregnated with negative psychic energies. The exact manufacture of these items
is a secret to all but the highest powers of the Imperium, and the loss or battlefield theft of these weapons has
been cause for entire Imperial Guard regiments to be dispatched to ensure they do not fall into the hands of xenos
or heretical forces.
Any Psyker within the blast radius of a psyk-out grenade when it explodes, or entering the dust field before it
dissipates, must make a Punishing (–50) Willpower Test. For each degree of failure, Psykers who fail the Test lose 1
Psy Rating and suffer 1d5 Damage that is not reduced by Armour, Fields or Toughness. Psy-Rating lost this way
returns at the rate of 1 Psy Rating every six hours. In addition, a Psyker who loses two or more Psy Rating from the
Psyk-Out grenade suffers -10 Penaty to his Invocation when Focusing to manifest a psychic power for 10 rounds
minus his Willpower Bonus after being affected by the grenade.

These are used on a variety of primitive worlds, although the most renowned are those from the planet of Munsk.
Created by collecting the faeces of a large worm-like creature, the excrement is then mixed with virulent pollen
from the yellowpetalled plant known locally as the “dung-bloom” for its distinctive odour. The mixture is then
balled up and encased in a dried mud shell. Once the fragile mud-shell is cracked an intolerable stench is released
(an eight metre diameter per bomb). Most humans will not be able to stand the odour and must vacate the area or
experience severe nausea and even loss of consciousness if they suffer prolonged exposure. Anyone exposed to a
stink bomb must succeed each Round on a Very Hard (-30) Carouse Test each Round or gain one level of Fatigue
for each Degree of Failure and suffer Disorieted(Medical Care). Three or more Rounds of consecutive Failure will
require the victim to also to check Stun(-30).
This effect does not affect any creatures without sense of smell or those that have Daemonic, Incorporeal, From

V IRUS
The Virus grenade contains a genetically tailored virus which is released by the exploding grenade. The virus has
been genetically programmed so that it mutates very rapidly. As a result, its initial effect is devastating but it
quickly degenerates and eventually dies out. This genetically engineered self-destruct mechanism means that viral
warfare is raletively safe. Indeed the most effective way of depopulating a planet is with giant viral missiles fired
from space.
However, there is always a small element of risk. It has been for a virus to lie dormant for centuries and reapper
only when the planet has bee repopulated. Most rare of all, the virus may evolve into a stable but deadly form
making the whole world uninhabitable.
These drawbacks are more of a problem with large scale viral bombardment. The amount of virus in a grenade is
small, so its potential for unpredictable genetic development is almost non-existant. Only Xeno race that is usually
totally immune to Virus grenades are Tyranids whose constant mutation and weird origins make them far variant
to be targeted with viral organisms, though Genestealer Hybrids are usually vulnerable due to their human
genome.
The viral organisms within grenade are very likely to penetrate even through respirators and re-breathers thus
those only grant +10 bonus to resisting virus-infection.
The grenade can be set to have a long delay and this allows setting it to explode after up to 10 Rounds.
Anyone caught within the blast area and not immune to viruses are affected. Those affected need to make a
Punishing(-50) Toughness Test or suffer the effects from Toxic(d10*3 ) after 1d5+5 Rounds. Each round any
characters remaining within blast area or within 10 metres from a being that died within 10 Rounds becomes
affected / re-affected and they need to make an Arduous (-40) Toughness Test to resist infection. After d10*2 + 10
minutes the virus mutates into safe form and the effects end.

EXPLOSIVES
For setting and defusing explosives see the Demolition skill. Explosives do not benefit from Righteous Fury and
they all have Explosive Mishap quality.
D EMOLITION C HARGE
A demolition charge is a simple explosive device, commonly used for blowing open doors, breaching walls and
destroying bridges. The cost and weight for a demolition charge represents 1 kg of explosives, though it is possible
to rig charges together thus increasing their destructive potential. When a demolition charge explodes, anyone (or
anything) caught within its blast radius takes d10*2 + 3 X Damage with Penetration and Proven of four times and
Concussive of two times the weight in kilograms. The explosion has Blast(X) quality where X is five times the weight
of the charge in kilograms.
Setting demolition charges does not require usage of Demolition skill.
D ET - CORD AND D ET - TAPE
Det-cord and det-tape are the two most common types of timer material, often used in conjunction with tube-
charges. The delay is set by either peeling back the tape or cutting the cord to the desired length. Both can be used
as a low-grade explosive material in an emergency, inflicting 1d10 X Damage for every one kilogram used. The
explosion has Concussive(1), Blast(X) and Proven(X) qualities where X is two times the weight of the charge in
kilograms.
F YCELINE
A chemical used in many standard Imperial explosives, it is mined from rare ores and its production often becomes
the primary tithe for many planets. Refined fyceline can be used to fashion crude explosives. Fyceline explosives
inflict d10*2 X Damage with Penetration and Proven of four times and Concussive of two times the weight in
kilograms. The explosion has Blast(X) quality where X is five times the weight of the charge in kilograms.
C RESSIN P ATTERN L IMPET M INE
A less powerful and less expensive directional explosive similar to the melta bomb, it is applied directly to the
target structure and focuses the blast against it. The resulting explosion is more powerful than a regular krak
detonation. When a limpet mine explodes, it deals d10*4 X Damage to anything directly on it, with a Penetration
of 8 and Proven(5). The explosion also affects an area around it dealing d10*2 X Damage with Blast(1) quality, but
this does not affect the target that was directly on it unless it was larger than Hulking.

Designed to be manually fixed to their target with mag-adhesives, melta bombs detonate with a charge of intense
heat similar in effect to a melta weapon, and are ideal for destroying bulkheads, vehicle hulls and other heavily
armoured targets. Imperial melta bombs are roughly domed in shape but heavy and unwieldy and not designed to
be thrown. When a melta bomb explodes it deals d10*4 Energy Damage with a Penetration of 19. Explosion has
Blast(1) quality. These hits are considered Proven(6), Felling(2), Melta, Lethal and Igniting. Meltabombs always
ignore Unyielding armour quality. Meltabombs weight 3,5kg each.
M ELTA G EL
This term covers a wide variety of extruded gelatine similar to dental paste, usually bright red or some other strong
colour and sticky enough to adhere to most surfaces. Once applied and activated by an electric spark, it rapidly
burns through bulkhead plating without the need for oxygen. Ideal for opening up a spacecraft from the outside or
working in areas where air has escaped, most repair crews carry several tubes in their kits. A tube of melta gel can
cover five metres in a thin line, or a surface area of one metre square. Along this line or area it deals Damage as a
melta bomb over the course of about a minute as it burns through whatever it is applied to before becoming inert.
P ROMETHIUM
Petrochem-based liquid fuel, promethium is the jelly-like substance used to power flamer weapons. It can also be
used to create anti-personnel explosives and bombs as it is highly flammable. Promethium explosives inflict
1d10+2 E Damage. The explosion has Concussive(1), Blast(X) and Proven(X) qualities where X is three times the
weight of the charge in kilograms. Hits from promethium blasts have Flame and Igniting qualities, but only
anything within half blast radius always catches flames.

EXOTIC WEAPONS
Many weapons are not only uncommon in the Imperium, but also unimaginable to most of its citizens. These
weapons are always expensive and beyond the reach of all but the elite or most resourceful. Because these
weapons are so specialised, a character must have a Talent for each individual exotic weapon he wishes to use. For
example, to use a needle pistol a character would need Exotic Weapon Training (Needle Pistol).
A EGIS A NBARIC S HOCK B LASTER P ISTOL
Class: Exotic (Shock Blaster)
This unusual weapon is a rarity, even among the Magos militant and the Skitarii, and is doubtless a product of the
legendary Aegis Fragment. Taking the shape of a bulky, tubular pistol, when fired it discharges a blast of
electromagnetic force capable of completely overloading a human’s nervous system or just as usefully disrupting
the control systems of a rogue servitor. These weapons are configured to use standard laspistol power packs,
though because of their high-energy requirements, they get only a relatively few shots from each pack. The
Shocking quality from a Shock Blaster affects creatures with Machine Trait.

The advanced design for this heavy webber is held by the Adeptus Mechanicus of the Lathe System and the

capital world of Scintilla. Standard issue for Adeptus Arbites capture-units across the Calixis Sector and also carried
in the armouries of the better equipped local law enforcement units, such as the Magistratum of Scintilla, the
weapon takes the form of a heavy, wide-barrelled projector fed from a large canister worn on the user’s back. The

important bystanders are caught in the line of fire.

A RTIFICO -B IOLOGIS , 0.5 I H YPO PISTOL

Class: Exotic (Hypo Pistol)
This compact and intricate handgun, crafted from clockwork and brass, is a Cult Mechanicus device used by the
Magos Biologis and their agents to subdue living specimens. By the use of a cunningly fashioned mechanical spring,
it fires a short-range injector dart fitted with a penetrating filament that delivers a chemical payload directly into
the target’s bloodstream. Nominally a tool for the Biologis or Medicae, it is actually quite commonly found in the
hands of bounty hunters, criminal scum or even enforcers who want to take their prey alive. The weapon has its
most sinister reputation on the hive world of Solomon, where an often-purged and darkly fabled cult known as the
“sleepers” have been using these devices to abduct victims for so long that they and their predations have become
a tale to frighten children.
The usual payload for a hypo pistol is strixis tincture, a powerful soporific, although, almost any chemical, toxin or
even viral agent could be used. When filled with the strixis tincture, any living target damaged by the weapon must
pass a Hard (–20) Toughness Test or fall comatose for 1d10 × 3 minutes. On a failure by three or more degrees, the
target is comatose for 1d5 hours instead.
Injector darts are designed not to unduly harm their targets. Roll for Damage as normal to overcome the target’s
Toughness Bonus and Armour Points. Any Damage in excess is reduced to 1 point.
Hypo-pistol ammo is Scarce and each hypo-dart has a base cost of 8 Thrones each.

Class: Exotic (Condemnor)
Extremely hard to acquire, the Condemnor Boltgun is a highly-specialised combi-weapon found almost exclusively
in the hands of Ordo Hereticus Inquisitors and their Acolytes. It combines a boltgun with a crossbow armature that
can be loaded with a variety of quarrels, and between the two deadly ammunitions, surely no heretic can survive.
The crossbow armature of the Condemnor has a clever pulley winch that allows quick and effortless reloading of
its very strong mechanism without need for excessive strength. Unlike normal Combi-Weapons the crossbow
armature of the Condemnor can be reloaded and fired several times.

C ONVERSION B EAMER
Class: Exotic (Conversion Beamer)
A small number of these rare and deadly archaeotech devices circulate through the hands of senior Inquisitors. A
Conversion Beamer can annihilate creatures, vehicles, or anything its beam reaches, provided it is given time to
build to critical mass. When fired, a conversion beamer expels a stream of neutron bombarded particles, beginning
an atomic chain reaction that converts matter to energy in a blazing beam that hurtles towards the target. As the
escalating reaction travels, more and more air molecules are converted into a deadly blast that finally consumes
the target in an explosive release of energy.
Conversion Beamers are more powerful at long ranges as they can absorb more matter into the blast’s strength. At
distances of up to 15 metres, a conversion beamer does 1d10+9 Energy damage and has a Penetration of 4 and
Proven(3) quality. Over that distance and up to Short range, it doesd 10*2 +9 Energy damage with a Penetration of
12 and gains Felling (1), Blast(1) and Proven(5) qualities. Against targets further than Short Range it does d10*3
+12 Energy Damage with a Penetration of 16 and possesses Felling (2), Proven(6) and Blast (4) qualities.
Conversion Beamer cannot be fired beyond Normal range.

D ARDANOS F ROST S PRAYER

Class: Exotic (Frost Sprayer)
Frost Sprayer is an exceptional type of weapon developed by Fabricator Magos Dardanos Lykougos and few of his
tech-adepts who serve as devout members of Calixian Divisio Investigatus and the legacy of its founder High
Fabricator Davos Phar. This weapon utilizes Karrikian Frost, the special type of supercompressed and supercold
mineralbound gas that was discovered far below the everfrozen and hazardous polar areas of deathworld Karrik.
Dardanos Frost Sprayer is in fact a far modified version of a voss-pattern hellgun that has its who front part
exchanged with specially modified casting chamber and a drum feeder that provides the chamber with an
insulated and highly resistant frost cylinder containing drilled piece of Karrikian Frost. The hellgun laser plasma
gatherer is used to vaporize and release the Karrikian Frost in an instant and afterwards melt the chamber and
drum mechanism back to operational. The casting chamber releases vaporized Karrikian Frost as a quick bursting
supercold cone.
The Dardanos Frost Sprayer is not even nearly as effective as those Frost weapons utilized by Space Wolves
chapter of Adeptus Astartes, but it has proved to be a worthy design and after many decades of exhaustive testing
even the Lathe-World Magos have grudgingly accepted it.
Those characters caught within the cone of released frost must make a Cold Test(-30). For each level of Soak the
character suffers -5 Penalty to this Test. Also any character that Fails the Cold Test within Point-Blank Range suffers
2 additional Degrees of Failure. The affected area is fully frozen thus likely breaking fragile stuff and killing smaller
plants. The area remain slippery for at least 10 minutes and anyone trying to fight in a melee or move needs to
make an Ordinary(+10) Agility Test to aviod slipping and falling to ground.

78
Frost Sprayer requires a standard chargepack which allows firing of each Karrikian Frost tube in a full drum. Also
the Frost Sprayer requires tubes of Karrikian Frost. These tubes preserve Karrikian Frost for several years are about
the size of two charge packs each. Firing a Frost Sprayer breaks the tube rending it useless. Each tube costs 30
thrones and they are Extremely Rare outside Karrik where they are only Rare. One tube weights 0,8kg.

D IGITAL W EAPONS
Class: Exotic (Digital Weapons)
Digital weapons, or digi-weapons, appear to be rings or other jewellery, but are actually powerful ranged weapons,
either archeotech or of xenos manufacture. The most common of these (if common can be used to describe such
wondrous items) are crafted by the ape-like aliens known as the Jokaero. Their creations are so marvellously
constructed that even Throne Agents of the Holy Ordos have been known to wear them. Two of the most popular
types of digital weapons amongst the agents of the Calixian Conclave are the digi-las weapons, and digital
explosives. Digi-las weapons are usually modelled in the form of rings, and can be used in close combat as a pistol.
Digital explosives are made to look like a wide variety of jewellery, are armed by applying precise pressure to
certain points, and then thrown. Of course, both have their drawbacks: digi-las weapons take considerable time to
replenish their tiny power reserves (1d5 hours before the weapon may be fired again), and digital explosives are
strictly one use only, making them an expensive investment. Due to their nature, digital weapons are always
considered concealed and any attempts to find them suffer additional -20 penalty.

E MPYRIAN B RAIN M INES

Class: Exotic (Brain Mines)
These small grenade-sized devices are of unknown origin, though rumour traces them to a distant ghost world.
When activated they latch onto the victim’s body and send a pulse of disruptive energy directly into his brain,
causing a momentary catatonic state. The mines are not re-usable, as their power core burns out after only a few
seconds of use.
A Brain Mine must be attached to an enemy with a melee attack. If it hits, it acts as a grenade that affects only the
target. The target must make a Hard (-20) Agility Test each round or be unable to take any action. Even if
successful the target can only take one Half Action. The mine cannot be removed safely; removing it deals
1d10+5 E damage that is not reduced by armour. The Brain Mine burns out and ceases to function after 3 Rounds,
dislodging itself from the target in the process.

E XECUTIONER P ISTOL
Class: Exotic (Executor Pistol)
This combi-pistol is rarely seen in Imperial space, despite (or perhaps because of) the fact that it is used by one of
the Imperium’s most dangerous killers. The Eversor Assassins, skull-faced slaughterers of the Officio Assasinorum,
carry these weapons in addition to their lethal array of close-combat gear. The Executioner is an unusual example
of a combi-weapon. Instead of being one weapon grafted crudely onto another, it is a seamless joining of two
individual firearms. The Executioner is a bolt pistol with an under-slung needle pistol beneath the barrel, allowing
the wielder to choose between the destructive power of the bolt weapon, or the quiet lethality of the needle
weapon. It is this versatility, combined with the exquisite craftsmanship of every Executioner pistol, that makes
them such a popular choice for one of the Imperium’s sanctioned assassins.
The weapon incorporates the heights of arcane tech-lore in its construction. It incorporates a bi-stabilised
targeting sight, and its polymorphic grip is genetically coded to the individual Assassin. Even if an opponent was
able to somehow gain control of an Executioner, he would be unable to fire it. In addition, the needle pistol uses a
synthesised neuro-toxin to incapacitate its target.
An Executioner Pistol can always be fired as either a bolt pistol or needle pistol, although the bearer may only fire
it in one mode per turn. An Executioner Pistol is programmed to be used by a single individual when it is crafted.
Changing the weapon’s programming requires either access to secret Officio facilities (something that is almost
impossible even for members of the Holy Ordos), or success on a Hellish (–60) Tech-Use Test. In addition, the
needle pistol’s toxins are so potent that whenever a target suffers at least one point of Damage after reduction
from Armour (but not from Toughness), the effects of Toxic quality will kick in.

E XITUS R IFLE

The signature weapon of the Vindicare Temple, this rifle is amongst the finest examples of Imperial
weaponsmithing. Hand-crafted by a Magos-Artisan of the Adeptus Mechanicus, each Exitus rifle is part of a
matched set—both pistol and rifle customised to the specifications of the individual Assassin.
The Exitus weapons contain sophisticated machine-spirits and utilise ammunition constructed from special heavy-
gravity alloys to penetrate nearly all forms of known protection. The Exitus rife uses specially modified Exitus
Hyper Density Penetrator rounds, which is already applied to its profile.
All Exitus rifles incorporate a silencer and have a built-in telescopic sight.
The firer may load one round as a half action (normally for one of the special issue ammunition loads). If the firer
has the Rapid Reload Talent, he may instead use a Reaction to load a single round.
Special Exitus Ammunition: Vindicare Assassins are normally issued a set of special ammunition when sent on an
assignment. These unusual shells are near unique, each extremely difficult and time-consuming to craft. Therefore,
the Assassin is usually given a single shell of each type.

circumstances where the Assassin is discovered, cornered, or in need of rapidfire capability. Under those
circumstances, the Exitus pistol performs admirably, and more than a few Vindicare Assassins owe their lives to
this weapon. The Exitus Pistol has a built-in silencer.

Another Belasco Deathworks weapon of dubious provenance, this advanced and elegant needle pistol is designed

murder of Cardinal Tyndale and a dozen other deacons and priests at the famed “sorrowful matins” massacre on
Gallowglass, the deliberate infection of the lauded High Lady Alatia of House Krin with Mori immedicabalis, and
numerous other high profile killings over the years. This has lead to the House of Belasco being denounced from
the cathedral pulpit as “sinful death-mongers” on several occasions, a claim the Belasco family have not deigned to
refute.

G RAVITON G UN
Class: Exotic (Graviton Gun)
An extremely rare device, the so-called graviton gun is a little understood relic unlikely to have been originally
designed as a weapon at all. When fired at a target area, the energy field generated by the gun creates a sudden
and powerful gravitational flux. Whilst unlikely to do more than knock living creatures violently to the floor, the
effect can be extremely damaging to the internal mechanisms and moving parts of vehicles, and can be particularly
lethal to skimmers and other devices with their own grav-engines quickly destabilised and overloaded by the flux-
field.

81
Everything caught in the gun’s blast area is violently pressed to the floor and must take a Very Hard (–30) Strength
Test or be knocked down. Being thrown to a solid surface from a standing position and forced to the ground in this
way is enough to inflict 1d5+2 I (Primitive) Damage—treat this as effecting the Body location—although what the
character or object is thrown against and how far they fall may well make this effect far worse.
Additionally, anyone attempting to move or perform physical actions within the blast radius for d5*2 Rounds
afterwards must first pass an Opposed Strength Test versus Strength 60 (Unnatural (×2)) each Round. At the GMs
discretion, the flux may shatter brittle objects, collapse loose flooring, rupture containment vessels, damage
vehicles and machinery, plus wreak any other chaos deemed appropriate

Found primarily in use by slavers operating in the Periphery, the manufacturing location is rumoured to be in a

mutants or groups of cultists for interrogation. It also sees limited use with the Adeptus Arbites riot-suppression
squads on Scintilla.
A large version of the standard webber gun, the Tyranicus pattern Heavy Webber requires a backpack or vehicle
mounted ammunition supply. The Heavy Webber fires a wide spray of filaments which expand in the air to form a
web of sticky, nearly unbreakable material. Targets are quickly entangled, and if they attempt to struggle the
filaments constrict. In addition to the normal effects of Snare weapons, each time a character ensnared by a
Tyranicus Heavy Webber fails a Strength or Agility Test to escape, he suffers a cumulative –10 penalty to future
Escape Tests. Should this reach –30, the character takes 1d5+1 Damage for each failed Test. The webbing breaks

H ELLAX I NFERNUS
Class: Exotic (Hellax Infernus)
In the dark history of the Conclave Calixis, one individual is spoken of with equal parts dread and admiration;
Cassilda Cognos. Little is known about the mysterious inquisitor, save that she was the founder of the Tyrantine
Cabal, and is now long dead. However, her legacy lives on in the deep data vaults of the Bastion Serpentis, in the
activities of the Tyrantine Cabal itself, and in the rare artefacts associated with her that have been scattered across
the Calixis Sector.
The Hellax Infernus is a weapon both elegant and extremely potent. In appearance, it is an antique inferno pistol,
with a long thin barrel, sculpted handle, and barrel-basket with everflickering flame. However, the Infernus is
constructed with strange, arcane technology. Its flames sear hotter than even the most potent melta-weapon; hot
enough, it is said, to burn one’s very soul.

82
The Hellax Infernus ignores the defences from Fields and all protective benefits granted by psychic powers
(including benefits such as bonuses to Dodge, as well as powers that specifically reduce energy damage or damage
from melta-weapons). In addition, if a target is hit by the Hellax Infernus and survives, he must make a Challenging

Psycannons are powerful weapons, often reserved for the Ordo Malleus. Similar in form to the Holy Heavy Bolter,

Class: Exotic (Purgatus Crossbow)
Throughout the millennia, Witch Hunters have seen the humble crossbow as a symbol of their trade, able to drive
a thick bolt of thrice-blessed wood into the heart of a daemonic or heretical opponent. With that in mind, some
Inquisitors have commissioned skilled artisans to transform these primitive weapons into something far more
deadly. The Purgatus appears a fusion of boltgun and crossbow, able to fire with more force than a shotgun blast.
However, it is its ammunition that is the true marvel; heavy wood and silver stakes inscribed with wards and runes
designed to disrupt a creature’s contact with the immaterium.
If the Purgatus does at least one point of damage, the stake becomes lodged in the target. Removing the stake
without proper medical care and operating facilities (such as on the field of battle) takes one Full Action, and deals
1d5+1 wounds to the target removing it, ignoring armour or Toughness. For every round a creature with the
Daemonic Trait leaves a Purgatus stake in itself, it must make a Warp Instability Test at a –10 Penalty, even if it
would not normally be required to test for Warp Instability. As long as any creature with a Psy Rating has a
Purgatus stake imbedded in it, the Psy Rating requirement for any psychic powers it manifests is increased by 2.

suicidal) employed by these innovative fighters is the thunderclap. A thrown weapon with a surprisingly good
range, the thunderclap is a carved from a light piece of hollow wood with a 45 degree bend about a third of the
way along its length. At each end, a fearsome piece of sharpened bone juts out, whilst the innards are packed with
a primitive and volatile explosive that detonates when striking a hardened surface. When thrown, the weapon flies
in a wide circular arc and returns to the thrower if it does not strike a target, who then may (if brave and nimble
enough) catch it again without blowing themselves to pieces!
Catching a missed thunderclap is a Challenging (+0) Agility Test. Failing this Test by three or more degrees will
result in an Explosive Mishap as if Jam was rolled with Explosive Mishap quality.

“W IDOWER ” C ADENCE D ART C ASTER D EVICE

Class: Exotic (Widower)
A weapon of assassination that grew out of the bitter guild vendettas in Hive Magnagorsk on Fenksworld, the
Widower is another unique design created by the mysterious artisan cult known as Cadence and is now perhaps
their most widely known creation. Using a much more powerful version of the magnetic/las impellor found in
Imperial needle weapons, the caster fires not a crystalline poison sliver, but an armour-piercing adamantine dart,
fractal edged and designed to penetrate light body armour with ease. The darts are subsonic, their passage
sounding only a slight hum as they speed through the air, and the weapon itself makes no flash whatsoever when
fired, making it an excellent killer from the shadows.
The profile listed here assumes a standard razor-dart, although poisoned or explosive darts are not unknown.
Cadence supplies the weapon with an attachable frame-stock and a long-barrelled impellor that turns it into a two-
handed Basic type weapon with a base range of 100m and a weight of 4.5 kg (although its Damage, etc., remains
the same.) Razor darts are also Rare items with a base cost of 15 Thrones each.

INTEGRATED WEAPONS
The Lathe Worlds are host to many astonishing weapon designs. As rare as they are deadly, these weapons sit high
above the common small arms that permeate the Calixis Sector, and form the backbone of the Mechanicus’
military in the sector.
JURY RIGGING INTEGRATED WEAPON SYSTEMS
The Potentia Coil is an arcane device that is, for the most part, simply unavailable to anyone outside the Cult of the
Omnissiah. For that reason, integrated weapon systems are largely outside of the forces of the Mechanicus, as
more conventional weapons are often more convenient than attempting to force an integrated weapon to work
with a non-standard power source. That said, there are many who have tried to make captured or stolen
integrated weapons operate without the need for a Potentia Coil. The results are often far from perfect, but at
least the weapon can be used. However the jury rigging cannot be done to weapons with Cybernetic quality.
NON-STANDARD POWER SOURCES
Assuming the player has an external power source of some kind (Hellgun backpack, Isotropic Fuel Rod, etc.), it can
be adapted for use with the Integrated Weapon by making either a Hard (–20) Tech-Use Test or a Hard (–20) Trade
(Armourer) Test. If the Test is successful, the Integrated Weapon is usable, albeit with some disadvantages (see
below). If the Test is failed, then the character has been unable to adapt this power source to the Integrated
Weapon, but may try again with a different power source if he has one. If this Test is failed by two or more
Degrees of Failure, something has gone horribly wrong, damaging the weapon and burning out the power source.
Treat both items as destroyed.
IT’S WORKING… JUST!
As connecting an Integrated Weapon to something other than a Potentia Coil is tantamount to tech-heresy, it is
unsurprising that the machine-spirits of these weapons would rebel against such an impure method of power
generation, resulting in some significant drawbacks.
As noted above, once connected to a non-standard power source the Integrated Weapon is usable. However, if the
Integrated Weapon is a ranged weapon, it also gains the Unreliable Weapon Quality (and loses the Reliable
Weapon Quality if it happened to have it), and any Jam results in a forced disconnection from the power source,
requiring it to be reconnected as described above. If the integrated weapon is a Melee weapon, then the unusual
and unregulated energy currents flowing through the weapon give it the Unwieldy Weapon Quality (and cause it to
lose the Balanced Weapon Quality if it happened to have it). If the user ever fails a Weapon Skill Test to Parry an
incoming attack, a roll of 91 or higher results in a forced disconnection from the power source, requiring it to be
reconnected as described above.

G RAVITON P ULSE L AUNCHER

Class: Exotic (Integrated Ranged Weapon)
Thanks to the unusual gravitic phenomena that affect the Lathes, the Calixis Mechanicus are experts in gravity
manipulation, and the Graviton Pulse Launcher represents one of the many fruits of their expertise. Based upon
the graviton gun, the launcher projects an orb or nucleus of barely contained gravitic energy.
The orb descends rapidly, limiting its range, but once a target is struck, the field containing the energy collapses
and a vast pulse of energy radiates outwards, violently crushing anything nearby. Everything caught in the blast
area is pressed to the ground and must take a Hard (–20) Strength Test or be knocked down. Being thrown to a
solid surface from a standing position and forced to the ground in this way is enough to inflict 1d5 plus the Damage
from the Blast quality in Impact Damage with the Primitive Quality to a random location, although what the
character or object is thrown against and how far they fall may well make this effect far worse.
Additionally, anyone attempting to move or perform physical actions within the blast radius for 1d5 Rounds
afterwards must first pass an Arduous (–40) Strength Test. At the GM’s discretion, the blast may shatter brittle
objects, collapse loose flooring, rupture containment vessels, damage vehicles and machinery, plus wreak any
other havoc deemed appropriate.

Aside from its profile in melee, an arc-welder is capable of cutting through metres of adamantine plating, up to 40

Once a technology that could have supplanted all other forms of offensive firepower, plasma technology is now all
but lost to the Imperium. Very few forge worlds possess the knowledge to create plasma weapons, and most of
those only manage to do so by following ancient sets of instructions created millennia ago.
As one of the more dangerous special issue weapons within the Crimson Guard, the Phased Plasma Rifle does
away with many of the drawbacks common to Imperial plasma weaponry, all but eliminating the need for
recharging, and significantly reducing the excess heat that conventional plasma weapons tend to generate. This
technology is guarded jealously, and since it was rediscovered the Tech-Priests of the Lathes have refused any
attempts to adapt the technology for more general use. From their perspective, the Phased Plasma Rifle is a
weapon of purity, and to change it in any way would defile the machine spirits that drive each weapon. With the
Adeptus Mechanicus’ glacial opinion unlikely to change, this weapon will remain only within the hands of the
Crimson Guard.

Close combat weapons are a common sight throughout the galaxy, and in many places it would be unthinkable to
venture without at least one such weapon on your person. Depending on the planet’s level of technology (and the
wealth of the user), these can range from simple metal blades to high-tech weapons of plastic or exotic metals and
can include swords, axes, pole arms, clubs, mauls, bludgeons and other simple devices. To use melee weapons you
must have the Melee Weapon Training (Primitive) talent to use them effectively in close combat and the Thrown

One problem with most powerful close combat weapons is that they can easily punch through hull plating.
Boarding pikes are a common shipboard solution, using a shell charge mounted at the end of a reinforced short
metal staff. A trigger in the grip activates the charge to explode on contact. The explosion blasts into flesh with
gruesome effect, but with little or no collateral damage to hull plating. It takes some time to reload, so it is used as
a one-shot weapon and then acts as a club for the remainder of a combat.

Owing its origins to the time long ago when the hive world of Malfi was once largely covered in dense jungle, the
bolo is a heavy single-edged cutting tool that for centuries has doubled as a brutally effective weapon. Crafted
from mono-serrated plexsteel, the average bolo has a distinctive 40 centimetre long, inwardly curving blade that
widens somewhat before the tip. This shape makes the bolo perfect for heavy slashing blows and, in skilled hands,
it can lop-off limbs or open-up a man gut to gullet in a single stroke. Still used on Malfi as an everyday tool, it
retains a murderous reputation and a favoured place in local folklore. The bolo is also favoured as a gang weapon
among Malfi’s jacker-gangs and dacoits, who traditionally mark noteworthy kills and exploits by acid-etching their
blades with crude murder-glyphs known as “gris”.

Sometimes the harshness and difficult conditions of hive worlds call for extrme measures from the gangers when
trying to maintain their territories and gain advantages over other competing parties. One rather common way is
to create somewhat perculiar weapons that allow better performance and higher level of intimidation. Burn
weapons are one of those categories where somewhat questionable rigging has been made to increase the
potential of some weapons. These weapons have one or more standard charge packs brutally rigged to specially
crafted versions of some rather normal versions of melee weaponry to make them more potent by creating a
trigger that heats their blades or shafts into red hot. Thus burn weapons that would cause Blood Loss as a Critical
Effect only cause only less level of Blood Loss.
Each burn weapon requires at least one chargepack that lasts up to 2 hours of continuous use.

D AEMON P IKE
Class: Melee (Primitive)
These weapons range in length from three to four metres (sometimes longer). Mounting a blade of adamantine-
silver edged with diamantine on a hollow steel tube, Daemon Pikes weigh far too much to be thrown. Instead, they
are often used to break the charge of daemons, mutants, and other creatures of the warp. The blade and shaft of a
Daemon Pike are inscribed with chants, prayers, and sermons meant to ward off evil, while the metre of shaft
below the head is set with short forward-point spines, ending in two broad blades. These blades serve two
purposes—they keep the wielder from thrusting his weapon too deep into a foe, and prevent daemons and other
creatures from advancing down the Pike to attack the user.
The etched prayers, as well anointing with blessed waters and sacred oils make Daemon Pikes “Holy” weapons,
which has certain effects on some Daemonic and warp entities (as will be noted in their description).
This weapon is very long one. This makes it ideal for attacking opponents from far beyond their ability to strike
back and also these weapons are ideal for stopping cavalry charges. The length however makes them useless when
opponent gets up close. When an opponent is closer than 3 meters away from the weapon’s wielder, the daemon
pike cannot be used to make attacks against them.
When a used against Charge coming from the direction whence the weapon is readied, the wielder may make a

on the sundry forge worlds and eras in which they were manufactured, but all are extremely deadly.

C HAIN K NIFE
Class: Melee (Chain)
The chain knife works on the same principle as its larger kin: the chain sword. It often appears similar to a short
cleaver or wide dirk, with a squat and murderous look to it. Powered by a compact cell in the hilt, the weapon’s
buzzing teeth rip through flesh with ease and splatter onlookers with hot gore. Chain knives, also known variously
as “buzz blades” and “chain rippers”, are almost entirely a hive-bound weapon and common from the infamous
shredder gangs of the Sibellian underhive to the fighting cages of Malfi.
On Landunder, the buzz blade is famously the province of the labour gangs that control the docking airlocks of the
eight cities, notorious as they are for quelling dissent with a single ragged cut to the belly, the art of which is to
leave the victim screaming as long as possible before death.

B REACHER
Class: Exotic (Breacher)
A breacher is a high-power drilling device made from hyper-dense adamantine alloys and fitted with a matter-
wave generator, designed to drill through the toughest materials and ore deposits, break up blocks, and puncture
bulkheads. Sometimes carried as a heavy slung rig, but more commonly implanted into the flesh of a servitor or
bonded labourer, the breacher can also be used as a devastatingly potent weapon, cable of ripping through
armour and flesh like paper.
Because of its bulk and vibration when activated, unless mounted as a purpose-built implant, a Strength Bonus of
at least 5 is required to wield a breacher as a combat weapon. Weaker characters suffer a –10 WS penalty for each
point of Strength Bonus below 5. If a breacher successfully causes Righteous Fury it deals additional 1d10 Damage
before any other effects.

D AMASKIN K INEBLADES
Class: Special, Requires manifesting of Precision Telekinesis psychic power
A true telekine prefers not to stoop to using the mundane weapons of non-psychic ‘blunts.’ Instead, they rely on a
weapon that is infinitely more elegant, concealable, and— under the control of the right mind—lethal. In
appearance, the kineblade can be best compared to a two-edged knife that lacks a hilt. The thin, strong blades
taper to a needle point on either end, making them impossible for a non-psyker to pick up and wield. Underneath
the outer layers of razor-sharp alloy, kineblades are inlayed with psychoactive materials, granting their user much
greater control and finesse. In the hands of a trained user, a cloud of kineblades can fly, swoop, and slash as if they
had minds of their own.
To use a kineblade, the wielder must manifest Precision Telekinesis psychic power. The power is manifested as
normal. However, instead of its usual effect, the user animates a number of kineblades equal to half his Psy Rating
(rounding up). He must sustain the power if he wishes to animate the blades over multiple turns. The blades hover
and fly in mid-air. They must remain within the psyker’s Willpower Bonus in metres. However, the psyker may
move them anywhere within that zone as a Reaction (within reason, of course. Kineblades cannot move through
solid objects). During the psyker’s turn, he may attack with his kineblades as a Full Action (Resolve multiple attacks
as if the psyker had chosen Multiple Attacks Combat action). To attack, he must make a Willpower Test for each
kineblade instead of a Weapon Skill Test.
The psyker may attempt Test Invocation normally to concentrate on a single massive blow. The Invocation Test
requires a Full Action to make and if it is successful, the psyker may at his next turn make a single attack that is
resolved as if having made an All-Out Attack though this adds his Psy Rating to the Penetration and Damage.
Kineblades are also desirable for their easily-concealed nature. They can be woven into clothing, inlayed on
equipment, or disguised in any number of other cunning ways.

The lithe, dancing warriors of Penolpass use a weapon known as a double flail as their primary weapon. The
weapon has an unusual structure, consisting of two spiked heads attached to chains affixed on either end of a
stout wooden shaft. Given the complexity of this weapon, using it effectively requires a great deal of skill. The true
masters of the weapon—those of the Penolpassian Blood Order—can make its use a deadly, though beautiful,
dance. In rare cases, the weapon’s shaft can split to produce two smaller flails.

F REEZE B ATON , H ADDRACK
Class: Exotic (Freeze Baton)
Local people of Death World haddrack have lived under much strife during the centuries of imperial control. The
environment is harsh and some lifeforms both deadly and resilient. A genus of particularly large reptile-like
creatures, langaashi, is used as source of food in some areas of Haddrack. The genus of langaashi is rather resistant
to the hard winds of the planet and therefore near immune to physical pain and also immune to Shock, making
hearding difficult. Locals have developed a special form of long baton that uses a charge pack to power its pumping
mechanism that casts amount of special freezing jelly out when something is struck with it. The jelly drains heat
very rapidly and this makes langaashi very tired thus allowing efficient herding.
Some freeze batons have been brought from Haddrack by many travelers who have tested their courage by
walking upon the planet. Also mechanicus has had some interest in these weapons and they have brought quite
many for them to study.
Many freeze batons also feature a “quick pacifying” function by having the other end of the baton fitted with a full
canister of freeze gel rigged with a small explosive and a carefully crafted cone that projects the explosion. This
allows the user to point the baton upon the target and press the triggering mechanism to lauch a freezing cone.
The cone is likely to cause the environment to freeze too. Any being cauhght in the cone must make Cold Test(-10).
When an opponent is successfully hit with Freeze Baton the ielder may make a Challenging (+0) Agility Test to use
the freeze jelly pump. Successful use forces the target to make a Cold Test(+0). The jelly reserve last for 10 uses
and replacement canisters weight 0,5 kg, cost 10 Thrones and are Extremely Rare. Exchanging the empty canister
takes two Full Actions.

L IGHTNING C HAIN , A CREAGE

Class: Exotic (Lightning Chain)
Acreage is the birthplace of the lightning chain, though this strange weapon has now spread to other worlds. At a
glance, it appears to be a length of spiked chain measuring about one to one and a half metres. Closer inspection
reveals that the chain is fashioned from a unique alloy found only on Acreage. It somehow “stores” kinetic energy,
which is released in the form of blue-coloured energy sparks when the chain moves with any kind of sharp,
excessive force. When properly used in combat, victims of a lightning chain attack not only receive dreadful
lacerations and broken bones, but also suffer burns from the writhing energy fields that “spark” when the chain is
in motion.
So dangerous are these weapons that not even the wielders are safe from the arcing energy. To avoid burns on the
hands, lightning chain users wear thick gloves made from the tough hides of grox-like animals found on Acreage.
The durable leather provides some insulation from the energy generated by the chain’s movements.

L IGHTNING G AUNTLETS , A CREAGE
Class: Exotic (Lightning Gauntlets)
Made from the same metal alloys as the Acreage lightning chain, the gauntlets are much rarer as they require far
more skill to create. As the gauntlets cannot be swung as fast as the lightning chain, the kinetic effect is lessened.
Still, being struck in the face by a lightning gauntlet is likely to do some serious damage or even kill the unfortunate
on the end of the punch. A layer of the same hides used by lightning chain wielders can be found inside the
gauntlets affording the same kind of protection.

N EURO -G AUNTLET
Class: Exotic (Neuro-Gauntlet)
Neuro-Gauntlets are subtle weapons, but no less vicious for that. Prized by assassins and torturers, the neuro-
gauntlet is a glove constructed from a flexible adamantine hyperalloy, with neuro-toxin injectors fitted into each
finger. Each injector is diamond-hard and incredibly sharp, allowing it to slice through armour and into the
vulnerable flesh below. The cuts from a neuro-gauntlet are deceptively small.
The Neuro Gauntlet is a specialised weapon only used by the Eversor Assassins of the Imperium of Man's Officio
Assassinorum. The weapon is a glove or gauntlet comprised of a hyper-alloy glove whose fingers end in sharp
hypodermic needles that inject a potent neurotoxin into the Assassin's victim. When the glove strikes an
opponent, the needles immediately inject their toxin into the person's bloodstream. The lethal effect is almost
instantaneous and causes a horrifically painful death as the victim is completely paralyzed while his organ systems
shut down one by one.
However, the poisons they produce are some of the most potent and crippling toxins known to the Officio
Assassorium. Neuro-Gauntlets have the Toxic Quality and they also affect creatures with Deamonic Trait; In
addition to suffering Damage as normal, all target’s Characteristics are halved for 1d5 minutes even when the
Toughness Test is successful. This specific effect is not cumulative, and does not affect targets with the From
Beyond, Daemonic or Machine Traits.
The toxins within the neuro-gauntlets may be replaced by different toxins (including one that mimics the effect of
a Hallucinogen Grenade).

O MNISSIAN R OD
Class: Exotic (Omnissian Rod)
The Omnissian Rod is an exceptionally rare device, gifted only to the highest-ranking members of the Cult
Mechanicus. Longer than a man is tall, the rod is adorned with the doubleheaded eagle of the Imperium as well as
the cog and skull symbol of the Mechanicum, in a way that shows the unity of the two organisations and the
alliance the God-Emperor struck with the Mechanicum millennia ago. The Omnissian Rod is more than just a
symbol, however, but is in fact a dangerous weapon, capable of blasting enemies at range and smashing them to
pieces in melee. The Rod comprises flexible, linked sections that come apart into a thick chain at the whim of the
user, and each swing crackles with barely contained energy that is very hard to defend against. The rod can return
to a rigid length of metal in an instant, making it an excellent defensive weapon. Energy can also be channelled
along the length of the rod, and fired in a series of blasts that have a similar effect to a plasma weapon, meaning
that no one can escape the Magos’ fury. When striking with Omnissian Rod, it has Flexible quality, but when using
it otherwise, it has Balanced quality.
The bearer of an Omnissian Rod receives a +20 bonus to Interaction Tests involving followers of the Machine God,
and due to its prominent display of the Imperial Aquila— something of an oddity among the Adeptus
Mechanicus—it will improve the Disposition of those loyal to the Imperium interacting with the bearer of the rod
by one step. An Omnissian Rod is gifted only to high-ranking Tech-Priests, and thus not available for normal
purchase except through illegal trading dens and the like.

The Omnisian Axe has connectors for user’s Potentia Coil and it cannot be powered without connection to a

portion organic tissues in the flesh works of forge worlds, it can be turned into an unwieldy but horrific weapon at
a whim.
A Vivisector grants the wielder a +10 bonus on Interrogation and Intimidation Tests, as well as a +10 bonus to

POWER WEAPONS
Power weapons work by projecting a disruptive energy field along the length of a blade or head of a weapon,
allowing it to slice through most armour as well as limbs. Many of these weapons conceal their true nature via
subtle power packs and energy projection veins, appearing as a normal weapon until activated when crackles of
lightning run across the blade. Most can function as a simple weapon when powered down, a useful ability should
their energy source run dry or become dangerous to use. To use power weapons you must have the Melee
Weapon Training (Power) talent. If not activated, the weapon counts as a normal weapon and characters with the
appropriate Melee Weapon Training (Primitive) talent can use it without penalty.
A GNI -P ATTERN P OWER M AUL

B AKKA -P ATTERN P OWER R AM
Class: Melee (Power)
This power ram is a heavy tube with a pair of long handles running down each side of its length. Inside the tube is a
potent power fi eld connected to a piston, the head of which is often sculpted to resemble an Imperial Aquila.
These tools were crafted for use on Karrik, and other Calixian worlds with high gravity, because of the requisite
sturdy construction of the doors and walls. Usually held by two Arbitrators, who swing it against a door or even a
wall, the Bakka-pattern Power Ram drives the piston forward, surrounded by the flickering energies of the
disruption field. The weapon is powerful enough to blow most doors clean off their hinges, and is more than
capable of knocking holes in solid brick walls in seconds.
Although this weapon can theoretically be used in combat, it is really not designed for this— its primary use is as
an entry device. All Weapon Skill Tests made using the weapon in melee combat are at -30 to represent how bulky
it is. However, the ram is assumed to do double damage against inanimate structural objects such as doors and
walls. Unless the GM wishes, for dramatic reasons, to prevent a wielder entering a building, this weapon should
allow entry into most normal structures instantly. Any hits cause Critical Damage as if the Critical Damage was
dealt with Blast quality.

E LECTROPICK
Class: Melee (Shock)
Criminals who routinely encounter heavily armoured Arbitrators or enforcers often seek ways to penetrate their
defences. These efforts range from the pathetic to the surprisingly lethal. A fine example of the latter comes from
the 812.M41 Ghul Mine uprising on Sepheris Secundus, when mutant gangs successfully isolated and hacked to
death a small Arbites patrol using tools equipped with heavily modified disruptor fields from mining rigs. Few
samples of these weapons now exist, as the Arbites infamously purged the rebellious Ghul Mine with nerve gas,
but the examples that did survive now command a fi ne price on the Calixian black market.

L ATHE -P ATTERN P OWER M AUL

Class: Melee (Power)
A light, slender, and elegant model of power maul, this unusual weapon (crafted only on demand in the Calixis
Sector) has a spiked handguard and a long, straight, un-weighted haft. It must be handled more like a sword than a
club, which some users find frustrating, and critics have labelled the weapon fussy and difficult to master.
However, the Arbitrators manning the Precinct Fortresses of the Lathe Worlds find that the slender profile is highly
effective in the dense manufactorum corridors. Those who take the time to familiarise themselves with the
pattern’s idiosyncrasies declare it one of the finest examples of a power maul. The apparent fragility of the design
is misleading, and the versatile power field is more than capable of inflicting the same damage against opponents
as models with a more brutal heft.

A Lightning Claw is a specialized type of power weapon, based on the design of the Powerfist. A Lightning Claw
consists of a powered gauntlet, fitted with three or four blades. A matter-disrupting energy field is projected
around the blades, allowing them to cut through armour and flesh with minimal effort. Lightning claws are almost
invariably worn as pairs. They are most commonly used by legendary Adeptus Astartes Space Marine Terminator
Assault Squads.
The blades are somewhat retractable, but this does not allow much more dexterity for the arm. Lightning Claw fist
cannot be used to do anything that requires ability to have precision of movement.
Lightning Claws are more common as part of power armour suits where the massive power requirements can be
met by integral energy packs, but some elite Imperial forces and high-ranking officers also use them with the aid of
backpack power sources. Backpack energy stores cost 100 Thrones and weight 12kg. They give Lightning Claw

Class: Melee (Power) or Thrown (Power)
Throughout history, the spear has consistently proven itself a deadly and efficient weapon, and the Imperium of
Mankind honours its legacy of bloodshed through various creations such as the explosive-tipped hunting lance and
the power spear. Officers in certain Rough Rider regiments prefer to wield power spears over weapons like cavalry
sabres, or even wield them as a secondary weapon for use after a hunting lance charge.
This weapon can also be held with one hand, but its Balanced quality is then replaced with Unbalanced. The Power
Field quality only applies when attacking with power spear, when Parrying, it counts as a Primitive spear.
Charge pack lasts 12 hours.

“S ERPENTINE ” K HAYER -A DDIN P OWER B LADE
Class: Melee (Power)
Although blade weapons concealed in walking canes, rods of office and even umbrellas are far from uncommon
among the Calixis Sector’s rich and powerful, few such weapons are as potent or as exclusive as the Serpentine. A
thin rapier-like blade of the highest quality adamantine alloys and equipped with a miniaturised disruption field
generator of great sophistication, it is a lightweight weapon and potentially devastating “surprise” for the unwary.
Serpentines are custom made by commission and most take the form of elaborately carved walking sticks that
disguise the weapon’s nature until activated. Famously, the notorious duellist and libertine, the Marchioness
Alyssa Marque, formerly of House Llahst, is said to have a Serpentine variant concealed in the form of an exquisite
lady’s fan that springs into lethal shape when triggered.
When Power Field is not active, Serpentine is a mono stiletto. Charge pack lasts 3 hours.

S OLLEX -A EGIS E NERGY B LADE

Class: Melee (Power)
A product of information obtained from the Aegis Data Fragment and utilizing the properties of the Sollex focusing
crystals, this is one of the rarest type of weapons in the Imperium—a blade of coherent high-energy plasma which
materialises from the armoured hilt as a blazing, roaring column of blue-white fire. Devastatingly powerful, only a
few Sollex-Aegis energy blades are held by individuals outside of the Mechanicus, and their secrets are little
understood even by their makers in the mysterious Tech-Priest sect of Sollex. Although potent beyond even most
power weapons, they can also prove treacherous to the unwary as the energy blade can fluctuate, the laser
containment fail or the insubstantial blade slip unexpectedly.
When not active, energy blade is only its shaft and cannot be used as a primitive sword. Energy blades use
standard energy cells that give them energy for 5 hours. Owing to the high amount of light and strong humming
that the blade produces, the wielder cannot attempt to be stealthy while it is switched on, but instead the
character counts as holding a glow lamp. Also Sollex Aegis never causes Bloos Loss.

Class: Melee (Power) or Thrown (Power)
The Power Stake is another item in the Inquisitor’s arsenal that is designed to be as much a symbol as a weapon. It
takes the form of a solid metre-long shaft of cold-forged iron, tapering to a wicked point on one end. The other
end is fashioned into a handle, containing a power field generator. All along the shaft are thousands of etched
runes, each a prayer against the psyker and an invocation against the warp. The power stakes of Witch Hunter
Rykehuss were specially commissioned by that noted Inquisitor to be a bane against the witch and psyuser.
He has actually commissioned several dozen, which by now have been scattered throughout the Sector with his
blessing, to do the God-Emperor’s holy work. If this weapon strikes a target with a Psy Rating, it deals an additional
1d10 Damage and gains Lethal, Felling(X) and Proven(X) qualities, where X is 2 plus the target’s Psy Rating.

T HE T WELVE D AEMONHAMMERS OF THE C RUSADE
Class: Melee (Power)
Daemonhammers are more than simply a powerful and legendary weapon. When an Inquisitor wields one, he is
wielding the very symbol of the Ordo Malleus. Daemonhammers are large, twohanded hammers made from rare
ores and composites from humanity’s ancient past. Their hafts are covered in hexagramic wards and seals of
warding, while their heads are emblazoned with the burning sigil of the Inquisition, from which emanates a
crackling power-field.
Daemonhammers are extremely rare, and granted only to the most trusted and respected Inquisitors of the Ordo
Malleus. Although no details are known, it is rumoured that the number of Daemonhammers the Calixian Conclave
possesses is very small. It is possible the only Daemonhammers in the Sector are those known as the Twelve
Daemonhammers of the Crusade; legendary weapons said to be wielded by the Council of Twelve. These heroic
daemonhunters are said to have fought at the forefront of the Angevin Crusade, and their weapons are in great
demand amongst the Conclave’s most powerful members.
It is said that there were actually 13 Daemonhammers, but that one has been long lost to the forces of the arch-
enemy. If this is true, the person who could return such a weapon to the Holy Ordos would be lauded amongst its
ranks. When used against a creature with the Daemonic trait, the Daemonhammer gains Lethal and Felling(2)
qualities and its wielder scores Righteous Fury on any damage die result of 8–10, instead of only natural 10s as
normal and each time the Righteous Fury is scored, the daemon must immediately make an additional Warp
Instability Test with additional -10 to its Willpower.
In addition, Daemonhammers grant +10 to the wielder’s Weapon Skill Tests.

T HUNDER H AMMER
Class: Melee (Power)
Thunder Hammers are ancient and mighty weapons that release a terrific blast when they strike an opponent.
They are designed to thoroughly incapacitate foes, smashing them to the ground with stunning force. It is a
fearsome foe indeed that can absorb a blow from a Thunder Hammer and carry on the fight. Usually both
unarmoured and armoured foes are brutally smashed to bits.
Thunder Hammers require awfully lot of energy and usually they are only used with power armour which can
provide them enough energy by integral energy packs, but some Imperial very high-ranking veteran officers also
use them with the aid of backpack power sources. Backpack energy stores cost 100 Thrones and weight 12kg. They
give Thunder Hammer enough energy for 8 hours.
If a Thunder Hammer strike damages systems inside a vehicle or penetrates armour of a bunker or like then it
creates inside the vehicle/building a shocking effect that deals 1d5+2 Damage and has Blast(1) and Shocking
qualities. This effect only affects those inside the vehicle/building.

U LTIMA - PATTERN A RBITES P OWER M AUL
Class: Melee (Power)
The power maul of the Adeptus Arbites is as much a symbol as it is a weapon, and one that is seared into the
minds of petty criminals and serious recidivists alike. While rank-and-file arbitrators make do with simple shock-
mauls, veteran proctors or the feared Judges prefer to wield something far more impressive.
The power maul is a versatile, one-handed weapon with two power settings. At its low setting, the maul’s head
delivers an electrical shock powerful enough to stun (and sometimes kill) its targets, just like a regular shock maul.
At the high setting however, the energy forms a crackling power field that can sunder steel, armour, and flesh.
The user may switch settings on his power maul once per turn as a free action. Using High Power drains the
weapons batteries in 2 hours.

W ALLER P ATTERN M ARK VI P OWER L ONGSWORD

Class: Melee (Power)
As the name suggests these blades are longer than normal any other energy blades, requiring two hands to wield
effectively. They are popular among the Brontian Longknives.
Whenever a wielder successfully Parries another weapon without Power Field quality while using an energy blade
and succeeds with two or more degrees of success, the wielder automatically destroys the other weapon. While
the energy blade does have a degree of density and mass, physical force applied to the swing contributes nothing
to the weapon effect and the wielder’s Strength Bonus does not increase its Damage. Should an Attack or Parry
attempt with one of these weapons suffer a failure by five or more degrees, resolve the energy blade’s Damage
against the wielder.
When not active, energy blade is only its shaft and cannot be used as a primitive sword. Owing to the harsh actinic
light and furnace-blast roar that the blade produces, the wielder cannot attempt to be stealthy while it is switched
on, but instead the character counts as holding a glow lamp. Additionally, the blade consumes canister fuel, just as
a plasma pistol does, in addition to normal energy consumption with each canister worn on the belt and fed via a
cable to the hilt (good for 30 minutes of continuous operation). Energy blade also never causes Blood Loss.
The charge pack lasts for 3 hours.

W ITCH L ANCE
Class: Melee (Power) or Thrown (Power)
A potent weapon that is a mix of the techno-arcane and the sacred, the Witch Lance, sometimes also known as a
“power stake” or “excoriator” is designed to destroy rogue psykers and witches utterly and without mercy. A
heavily modified power weapon taking the form of a metre and a half long spear or stake of cold iron and
adamantine, it contains at its heart a pressure-release reservoir of concentrated promethium mixed with sacred
oils and anti-psy compounds. Should the lance successfully impale the victim’s body this mixture is explosively
vented, consuming the victim utterly in a blast of holy fire.
While Witch Lance has its mixture container filled, against foes with Sorcery, Psy Rating or Daemonic Trait it causes
Righteous Fury with results of 7, 8, 9 and 10 instead of just 10.

117
Whenever Righteous Fury results while fighting with a witch lance against foes with Sorcery, Psy Rating or
Daemonic Trait, the weapon deals an additional d10*2 E Holy Damage and sets the victim on Holy fire in lieu of the
normal results of Righteous Fury. This consumes all the mixture in the container and it must be filled before it can
be activated again. The mixture required to fill the tank costs 400 Thrones per shot and is Very Rare.

SHOCK WEAPONS
Shock weapons are designed to be generally non-lethal, attacking the subject with incapacitating force through
electrical shocks released on impact. As shock weapons have little or no destructive impact on flesh other than
burn marks, they are useful for crowd control and “encouraging” workers such as shipboard press gangs or other
forced labour. To use shock weapons you must have the Melee Weapon Training (Shock) talent.

Desperate times call for desperate measures, which may explain the Concussion Mace’s recent popularity as a
melee weapon. Designed on Hadd for use by asteroid miners who need an instrument they can employ within the
tight confines of a tumbling zero-gravity rock, the Concussion Mace is essentially a small explosion on a stick.
The flanged shell of the “mace” acts as a sort of containment cage for an ancient fragment of gravity plate, which
activates when the mace strikes a target with sufficient force creating a small crushing field. Unfortunately, the
mace does not discriminate between friend and foe, and many overzealous Acolytes have been the unwitting
cause of their own demise by attempting to use this weapon in tight quarters. The shaft is 1.5 metres in length, so
when properly used the wielder is out of the effective blast radius. On a Weapon Skill roll of 94–00 the user is
within the blast radius and takes damage equal to the weapon’s normal damage.

H YDRAPHUR -P ATTERN S UPPRESSION S HIELD
Class: Melee (Shock)
Suppression shields are common equipment for the Adeptus Arbites, although upon seeing their effectiveness,
many other organisations and individuals have moved to obtain them. The suppression shield is both a bulwark
and a weapon, a heavy slab of ceramite large enough for the wielder to take cover behind. Each has a builtin arc-
lumin at the top, and a powerful shock-plate in the shield’s centre. If the wielder strikes with the shield or the
opponent throws himself against the shield, the wielder can discharge the shock-plate on impact, delivering a
powerful electrical blow.
Suppression shields have the Recharge quality, since the shock-plate takes time to build to dangerous levels. It can
still be used as a weapon during rounds where it is recharging, however, in those cases it loses the Shocking quality
and gains the Primitive quality. A suppression shield requires one hand to use, and APs it provides do not become
Primitive when the shield is Recharging.
Arbites suppression shields are also designed with lockgrips on the upper corners. These allow a character to fire
one basic class weapon with one hand without penalty and witout exposing himself. He is however limited to firing
at about 45 degree arc to the direction the shield is facing.

the armoured shell can provide a powerful punch. Many ship’s officers and ratings heighten this effect by
incorporating a shock generator in the guard, so that, when hit, an opponent is felled by both the electrical shock
as well as the solid impact. Chartist captains and other higher rankings use even more lethal versions,

FORCE WEAPONS (PRIMITIVE)

Class: Melee (Primitive)
Made from the rarest materials and interlaced with psychic reactive and channelling circuitry of a design said to
have originated with the Emperor himself when he walked among mortal men, force weapons are capable of
channelling the mental power and aggression of a psyker into deadly, reality-rending force. It is theoretically
possible to create force weapons in almost any form, and several unique and potent variants, such as the Nemesis
weapons of the Grey Knights and the legendarily destructive Daemonhammers, exist. The three commonest types
of force weapons are given here, the force sword, force axe and force staff.
Unless wielded by a psyker, force weapons simply count as a Good Craftsmanship Mono variant of their standard
Primitive weapon type, except for the staff which is considered as Best Craftsmanship variant with no additional
attachments. However, in the hands of a wielder with a Psy Rating, they are much more. For every point of Psy
Rating the wielder has, the weapon’s Damage and Penetration increases by +2 and it is no longer considered
primitive. For example, a force sword wielded by a character with Psy Rating 3 would inflict 1d10+6 R (plus SB) and
have a Penetration of 8. In addition to this force weapon are considered Holy and Lethal when wielded by a
character with Psy Rating.

121
In addition to normal Damage, whenever a psyker damages an opponent after reduction from armour and
Toughness Bonus, he or she may, as a Free Action, channel psychic force and killing will into the blade. Treat this
effect as a power with a Psy Rating 3. On a success, the wielder and victim make Opposed Willpower Tests. For
every degree of success, the force weapon’s wielder deals an additional 1d10 points of Damage ignoring the
victim’s Armour and Toughness Bonus. This additional Damage does not cause Critical Hit Damage, but if it reduces
the victim’s Wounds to negative, the victim’s soul is immediately destroyed and the victim suffers Death(Auto) and
has no possibility of surviving. Force weapons cannot be destroyed by a power weapon’s field.
A force staff also acts as a Psy-Focus.

ANOINTED WEAPONS
Anointed weapons are holy relics steeped in lore and legend, bright lights in a dark and unforgiving universe. Many
of them are still in the service of the Inquisition, with glorious histories and countless notches on their hilts. Others
have passed from this world entirely and into the realm of myth.
Whether newly forged or tried and tested, Anointed weapons are formidable tools in the battle against Chaos.
The following section provides rules for creating Anointed weapons for use in DARK HERESY campaigns.
One such story tells of a young man named Farulfr, a salt miner on a frozen world at the onset of the Angevin
Crusade. When a blood cult unleashed a living tide of berserker daemons, he took up his pick and stood before the
army. Though armed only with a miner’s pick, his faith in the Emperor was implacable, and his calm in the face of
such rage made him like water to a flame. No Daemon could come within arm’s reach without being struck and
banished back into the Immaterium. According to legend (though the story is surely apocryphal), Farulfr and a
small band of survivors then calmly walked over a hundred leagues to the capitol and escaped the planet minutes
before the Inquisition destroyed it with cyclonic torpedoes.
Farulfr served the Holy Ordos for the rest of his life, carrying his faith and the pick into battle after battle. Upon his
death, the pitted and ruined pick was restored and placed within the Grand Reliquarium beneath the Tricorn
palace.

122
CREATING AND GENERATING ANOINTED WEAPONS
Anointed weapons can serve as the centre of several adventures as part of an ongoing campaign, or can be the
focus of an entire campaign themselves. Any weapon can be anointed, although primitive weapons are the most
common.
In addition to the stats and qualities the weapon normally possesses, all Anointed weapons are Best Craftsmanship
and have the Sanctified quality since it is in their nature that each weapon is unique with its own story. Anointed
weapons can be newly made and crafted from the finest materials and be virtually flawless or maybe they are
simpy normal looking tools of trade held by imperial saints in times of great need for rockrete fate in the Emperor’s
Mercy. The GM should feel free to exercise his creativity and create custom weapons of his own design. Anointed
weapons are not uncommon to have some pieces of saint applied to their structure, such as fingerbones forming
ornaments or stock of a rifle or hilt of a sword formed out of saint’s femur etc.
Ancient Anointed weapons can simply be randomly generated by the GM using the following tables. Acolytes
(especially Clerics) may also wish to construct an Anointed weapon. To do so requires usually some piece of very
holy or saintly being (such as bone from dead saint or some possessions from past great saints) and quite often
near rare unguents thus creating an Anointed weapon should not be done with simple Skill Tests. Instead the
creation should more likely be the focus of several game sessions. There is high likelihood that no actual Skill Tests
should be required for crafting under normal circumstances, as crafting a new Anointed weapon can be so
important to the Holy Ordos in the Calixis Sector that the resources of master craftsmen are available to an Acolyte
who manages to acquire the necessary items and perform the required tasks. Note that not every existing piece of
Saints’ bodies or equipment is within near acceptable to be used for making some weapons.
At the end of the process the Acolyte creating the weapon must permanently burn at least one Fate Point and the
aquiring process itself should also likely require burning of several Fate Points. Acolytes who have no remaining
Fate Points may still craft Anointed weapons but the cost is ultimately up to the GM and will no doubt be very
steep indeed.
The appearance and potency of Anointed weapons are not limited to those provided on the sample charts, but
should assist GMs in creating the weapons, or building weapons used by NPC’s that the Acolytes might encounter.
Anointed weapons are each Unique and no cost could possibly be listed, as the sale of an Anointed weapon would
bring the full wrath of the Calixian Holy Ordos as well as the might of the Sector Synod to bear on such a heretic.
When generating an Anointed weapon, roll once for each category and also note down the effects the history gives
to the weapon by checking the references that are given in brackets from tables below.

APPEARANCE OF AWE
Anointed weapons are beacons of faith that give hope and inspiration to all around them. Each one has a unique
appearance which should be described in as much detail as possible. Below are a few examples that the GM can
use as presented or as a guide for creating his own.
The appearance of the weapon gives a glimpse into its purpose, and any character who takes up arms against the
forces of Chaos finds that some foes suffer even greater at the touch of the armament.
The weapon allows any character that can see the weapon clearly and recognizes its nature (GM’s discretion) to
spend a Fate Point to automatically pass any Fear Test caused by a Daemon and ignore the effects from Daemonic
Presense from any daemons the weapon opposes most. Also among these viewers those with low Corruption
(meaning they have up to 10 Corruption Points) and the wielder count as having Nerves of Steel Talent and gain
+10 to their Willpower against any rolls called due to that what is disdained by the weapon.
Table: Anointed Weapon Appearance
Roll Result
01-20 This weapon radiates purity, and is without a dent, scratch, or speck of rust visible anywhere on its surface. It has very clean lines and bright
polish.
21-40 This weapon is designed to meet greatest of standards and exceed them. The amount of details and finesse seems to surpass all imagination.
41-60 Simple, functional, blunt, and far from pretty.
61-80 The weapon seems somehow more solid, more sturdier and more lasting than other weapons.
81-00 Ornate and gilded, this weapon is affixed with charms, sigils, and purity seals warding against all manner of evil.

POWER OF FAITH
In addition to its potency against creatures of the Warp, Anointed weapons provide additional abilities to a hero
whose faith in the God-Emperor does not faulter. Each weapon has a special ability only usable by characters with
the Pure Faith or Unshakeable Faith Talent and with 20 or less Corruption Points.
In addition to this special ability, a wielder with Pure Faith or Unshakeable Faith may spend a Fate Point before
making an attack (before the dice are rolled) against a daemon that is of opposed type. This attack automatically
hits and cannot be Dodged or Parried.
Many Anointed weapons are particularly fearsome to one daemon with whom they have a history. At the GM’s
discretion a character who severely damages this daemon with an Anointed weapon may burn a Fate Point,
banishing it instantly to the Warp for a great length of time. The length of time is up to the GM, but should require
a prophecy to be fulfilled, or great ritual performed, for the daemon to return.
Table: Anointed Weapon Power of Faith
Roll Result
01-20 Righteous: This weapon shines righteousness even in the darkest of places. The weapon automatically passes any Tests to confirm
Righteous Fury.
21-40 Unyielding: Pure and clean as springwater, this weapon is anathema to daemonkind and they cannot look upon it. Daemons suffer a -20
penalty to Dodge or Parry attacks from this weapon.
41-60 Tearing: This weapon shreds and mars a daemon’s psychic essence as it strikes home. The weapon gains the Tearing Quality against
daemons.
61-80 Sacred Shield: This weapon grants a +15 bonus to Parry Tests against daemons and Warp-creatures. Reroll this result if the base weapon
is Unwieldy.
81-90 Aetherblade: This weapon ignores the physical armour of daemons entirely, slicing through such Warpconjured material with ease.
91-00 Holy Flame: Daemons struck by this weapon burst into crackling, white-hot flames. Successful hits do an additional 1d5 Energy damage
that ignores armour and Toughness.

126
DAEMON WEAPONS
Perhaps the most infamous of all unholy artifacts are weapons that contain within them the bound essence of
some malign Warp Entity, invigorating them with unnatural power. Daemon weapons may vary widely in abilities,
design, and appearance.
All, however, are perilous to their wielder in some way, and often the daemon within is far from happy to be so
confined and enslaved.
The vast majority of daemon weapons are variations of more commonplace or archaic melee arms, although guns
and more esoteric weapons are not unknown but are far, far rarer.
Regardless of their appearance, all daemon weapons share several basic qualities:
Lethality: In addition to any other powers and abilities they grant, Daemon weapons are hungering, unnatural
things that delight in taking life; they never count as having the Primitive Quality, they always have Lethal Quality
even against Holy Quality armour.
Uncanny Resilience: Regardless of their appearance and apparent construction, daemon weapons are extremely
hard to physically damage and destroy. They count as having a natural Armour of 20, and will not be destroyed if
used to Parry, or are Parried by, weapons with Power Fields or similar effects. If a daemon weapon somehow is
destroyed, roll immediately on the Perils of the Warp Table adding +20 to the result. On any result that would
indicate a daemonic manifestation, it is the daemon in the blade that is released.
The Beast Within: All such weapons carry at their heart a bound Warp Entity that has been enslaved within. In the
case of most daemon weapons, this will be a comparably weak example of its kind, a lesser servitor, a mindless
beast, warp predator, or even an Unclean Spirit or Astral Spectre. Some very rare weapons may be able to bind
even far more powerful entities. Also the more powerful the entity bound, the more powerful the weapon, but
greater also the risk to the wielder.
In order wield a Daemon weapon, the user must first succeed in a Daemonic Mastery Test. Doing so successfully
cows the weapon into obedience. After this point, however, should the wielder’s Willpower Bonus ever fall bellow
that of the bound Daemon, then the Daemon within will attempt to rebel once more and force another Mastery
Test. If at any point such a Mastery Test is failed by the wielder, the Daemon within the weapon may make a
possession attack against their would-be master. If this succeeds, the wielder has succumbed, and it is they who
are the weapon’s slave until they can break free.

WEAPON ATTRIBUTES
Daemon weapons may display an almost limitless variety of different powers and attributes which the beast within
can grant grudgingly to their wielder, or by simple side-effect of their presence. Table: Daemon Weapon
Attributes illustrates some of the possibilities involved. In the case of duplicate effects, re-roll the result.
Table: Daemon Weapon Attributes
Roll Attribute Effect
Tearing Quality and Crushing Quality. Add half the WB (round down) of the bound entity to the weapon’s Damage.
This additional Damage is ignored, if the strike is made against Holy Quality armour and the armour is not fully
bypassed. When striking with this weapon also use the to hit roll result as a roll for the bound entity’s Willpower
1-8 Flesh Bane Test. If this Test succeeds, the target loses one Wound and one additional Wound for each Degree of Success
before resolving this hit. These lost Wounds do not count towards the Damage done by this strike, but merely
make the target become weakened. Target wearing at least near full (eg. head exposed) Holy Quality armour halve
(rounding down) the number of Wounds lost due to weakening.
Add the WB of the bound entity to the Penetration of the weapon. This bonus is halved against Holy Quality
9–17 Sharp as Sin
armour (round down).
Tearing Quality and Crushing Quality. If the target would suffer even one point of Damge after reductions from
armour and Toughness, he immediately suffers additional Critical Damage (even if no Critical Damage would be
18–25 Hungering
otherwise caused) equal to the WB of the bound entity. Against Holy quality armour this additional Critical
Damage is halved (rounding down) if the target’s armour was not fully penetrated.
When a target suffers any wounds from this weapon the entity tries to drain the target’s whole living force. Make
an Opposed Willpower Test between the target and the bound entity. The entity gains +20 to its Test if any Critical
26–32 Warp Void Chill
Damage was caused with the strike. For each Degree the entity wins the target suffers Toughness and Willpower
Damage equal to twice the number of Wounds he suffered from this attack.
When wielded, entity makes chilling howling noise to fill all the surroundings within 5xWB in meters. The user
33–45 Screaming gains the Fear 1 (Disturbing) trait, causing Warp Shock. All those deemed opponents by the entity are Deafened
while within this area and their Inititive rolls are lowered by the WB of the bound entity.

127
 Grants the wielder +20 bonus on Tests made to resist any direct psychic attack or manipulation used against him.
Additionally, the entity provides the wielder Field(WP) quality against attacks of psychic force or warp energy
46–50 Null
that directly deal Damage (such as the Psychic Blade or Fire Bolt powers). Any Invocation Tests made to Focus
Powers within 5xWB meters of the weapon suffer Penalty equal to the Willpower of the bound entity.
Toxic(d5*2). The victim suffers and additional -20 to the Toughnes Tests made to resist this unnatural poison and
51–55 Life Bane
should the victim fail the Toughness Test, he suffers an additional wound for each Degree of Failure.
When making full power attacks with this weapon, the bound entity guides it self to find the most vulnerable
points and seeks to overcome any shortcomings of its master. The wielder adds the Willpower of the entity to his
56–62 Heart Seeker Weapon Skill when making attacks with this weapon while using All-Out Attack or Charge Action. Should the
attacker score at least two Degrees of Success, the entity has guided the weapon into any Exposed or Weak Area in
the hit location even if the attack was not targeted there.
The bound entity can take advantage of any channel into the warp. If the wielder has Psy Rating Talent, the entity
adds the wielder’s Psy Rating to the Damage and Penetration of the weapon. However each time the wielder
strikes any Damage to a living victim after reduction from armour and Toughness, he must make a
63-68 Psychic Bane
Challenging(+0) Willpower Test or the channelling drains one Wound from him and inflicts one Level of Fatigue
upon him. This draining does not cause Critical Effects, but if the wielder’s Wounds are reduced to 0 he becomes
Unconscious(until number of Wounds is 1 or more).
The weapon sets its targets on fire just as if they had been hit by weapon with both Flame and Igniting qualities.
69–73 Dark Fire While the target is within entity’s WB in meters these flames cannot be put out unless the victim is wearing a Holy
quality armour.
Wounded victims must Test WP with a Penalty equal to half (round down) the Willpower of the bound entity.
Those who fail suffer from short-term amnesia and they totally forget about anything they were doing and where
74–78 Mind Leech
they are. They suffer from Disoriented Condition while within entitys WB meters from the weapon and if the Test
was failed by two or more Degrees, the lose their next Full-Action and are considered helpless.
79–83 Warp Touched Warp Weapon Quality.
For each victim slain, the wielder regains d5*2 lost Wounds and loses all levels of Fatigue. If the wielder has any
84–87 Vampiric
critical conditions this also counts as receiving Intensive Medical Care for one day.
The wielder gains Frenzy and Unnatural Strength with multiplier equal to the WB of the bound entity while the
88–92 Hell Spite blade is used. The blade also has Felling(1) Quality. The wielder automatically enters into frenzied state when
drawing this weapon.
Whenever this weapon damages an opponent after reduction from armour and Toughness Bonus, the wielder
may, as a Free Action, let the killing will of the bound entity to tear the soul from the victim. Then the entity and
the victim make Opposed Willpower Tests. For every Degree of Success, entity deals it WB points of Damage
93–96 Soul Thirster
ignoring the victim’s Armour. This additional Damage does not cause Critical Hit Damage, but if it reduces the
victim’s Wounds to negative, the victim’s soul is immediately destroyed and the victim suffers Death(Auto) and
has no possibility of surviving. The channelling causes the wielder to gain 1d5-1 Corruption Points.
97-00 Aetheric Render The weapon ignores any effects of psychic powers, and bypasses all fields when it strikes.

OBTAINING DAEMON WEAPONS

Daemon weapons are exceptionally rare, powerful and unique artefacts. For these reasons no cost or availability
for them have been included; they are not the type of thing that you go looking for in the bazaars of Maccabeus
Quintus. A daemon weapon should be obtained either through persistent effort: hunting down a cult leader who is
reputed to wield a weapon of dark and mysterious power, or by the Games Master placing a daemon weapon in
the path of an acolyte to tempt them further to the path of radicalism.

128
INFAMOUS DAEMON WEAPONS
There are daemon weapons whose histories echo in the unspoken, secret records of the Ordo Malleus Calixis,
weapons that are written of in the deepest archives of the Tricorn Palace on Scintilla and whose existence is only
whispered between trusted peers of the Inquisition. The infamy of these foul weapons may be born of the role
they have played in a vile atrocity of the past, or because they are known to be at large in the hands of arch-
heretics. Some have never been confirmed to exist in truth, or lurk in the dire warnings of prophesies yet to
realised.
A NGUISH
Little is known of the daemon weapon known only as Anguish. Some amongst the arcane scholars of the Ordo
Malleus doubt that it even exists. Anguish is reputed to take the form of a long basket-hilted sword—its hilt dotted
with thorny spines, its mirror-like blade etched with images of bird feathers and lidless eyes. It has been said to
radiate a chill like that of the void between stars and to have an edge so sharp that it can cleave the curtain of
reality— opening a wound-like portal into the Warp through which the wielder of the blade may pass to far and
strange places.
Special Rules
Anguish contains a Greater Daemonic Entity (WP 71) with the Sharp as Sin, Warp Void Chill, and Rend Reality (see
below) attributes.
Rend Reality: The wielder of Anguish may be used by its wielder to cut a portal in reality. Attempting this is a Full
Action and reproduces the effects of the Sorcery Power Create Door except that it requires no Focus Power roll
and uses the Greater Daemonic Entity’s Willpower rather than the caster’s Intelligence to successfully open the
door to the correct location.

G ORE T HIRSTER
Gore Thirster is a monstrous cleaver of dark metal whose pitted and stained surface sweats beads of blood. Within
Gore Thirster’s crudely forged metal is bound a daemon of rage and slaughter whose hunger for blood is without
limit. Those who wield this tool of atrocity find their senses overlaid with the red rage of the thing bound within.
Those who would master Gore Thirster must overcome a fearsome will focused upon murder and destruction.
Special Rules
Gore Thirster contains a Bound Daemon (WP 44) with the Hell Spite, Life Bane, and Demand of Blood (see below)
attributes.
Demand of Blood: Gore Thirster’s appetite for blood and death is such that should it not be sated, it will take what
it requires from its wielder. Should Gore Thirster be used to strike a target and fail to cause any damage (after
reductions for armour and Toughness Bonus have been applied) it will inflict 1d5 R damage to the wielder with no
reduction for Armour or Toughness bonus.

T HE W HISPERS OF D ELIGHT
The Whispers of Delight were daemon bound daggers created by the Order of the Amethyst Serpent on Malfi. Each
dagger had a long blade of amethyst that twisted like a tongue of fire, a hilt of bladed and spiked finger loops, and
was etched with dying words of thirty six sacrifices to the Prince of Pleasure.
The Whispers of Delight were given to the Order’s assassins who it were reputed to be able to persuade their
victims to grant them admittance to their most intimate chambers before their throats were cut. After the Order
of the Amethyst Serpent was broken by the Ordo Malleus, three of the Whispers of Delight were recovered.
However, it is believed that more existed and survived the destruction of their makers.
Special Rules

129
Each dagger contains a Bound Daemon (WP 36), with the Sharp as Sin and Whispers of Delight (see below)
attributes.
Whispers of Delight: When the edge of one of these daggers is blooded (by even a drop of blood from a small cut)
it immediately begins whispering dark secrets and suggestions to its wielder, making his insights and words
strangely persuasive. Anyone who hears and understands the wielder’s daemon weapon’s Willpower may try to
overcome it by making an Opposed Willpower Test against the entity. Those who fail the Test become vulnerable
to the wielder’s suggestions, granting the wielder a +20 bonus to any Charm, Intimidate, or Deceive Tests against
them.
Note: This is not a true form of direct mind control, but can be used to overcome good sense, sow discord,
alleviate suspicion, and stoke the fires of hatred.

T HE L ASH OF B ITTERNESS
The Lash of Bitterness is a long whip of bones and teeth taken from humans and the predatory creatures of
Iocanthos.
Within it is bound the tortured essence of a warp creature whose being is consumed by fear and insanity. The Lash
of Bitterness was said to have been created by a slave champion of the Crow Farther and to have been wielded in
combat against Drusus himself. It was recovered from the battlefield by servants of the Holy Ordos in the wake of
the saint’s cleansing of Iocanthos, and it is now sealed in the Lightless Vaults of the Tricorn palace—its twitching
coils muttering vileness and wishing ill to all life.
Special Rules
The Lash of Bitterness contains an Astral Spectre (WP 37) with the Mind Leech, Screaming, and Daemonic Presence
(see below) attributes.

T HE M ACE OF J UDGEMENT
The Mace of Judgement is a symbol of Imperial might and purity that was violated by the Pilgrims of Hayte and
turned into a mockery of its original purpose. The Mace has a shaft and head of dark, wrought metal topped with
winged fist clasping a skull of adamantine. Charred spills of parchment inscribed with tracts from the Book of
Judgement coil the mace’s length, secured by seals of thick wax. It was weapon made to demonstrate the might of
Imperial law and punish those who deny its authority. The Mace of Judgement was possessed by Adeptus Arbites
Judge Mielira, who was captured by the Pilgrims of Hayte while countering their activities on Vaxanide. Rather
than kill their prisoner, the Pilgrims of Hayte took her weapon and bound into it a warp thing of madness and
endless hate. They then set Judge Mielira free and returned her mace of authority. The cultists watched while the
daemon in her weapon twisted the Judge’s own faith and conviction and made her a monster to whom all were
guilty and worthy only of death. Mielira the Bloody was finally killed by vassals of Inquisitor Skane. However, her
black mace that had become the trademark of her atrocities was never recovered.
Special Rules

 The user may switch power settings once per turn as a Free Action. The battery last about two hours of continuous
use or 40 high power hits and is rechargeable with any pair of las gun charge packs which takes about 15 minutes.
The Mace of Judgement contains a warp entity of unknown nature (WP 41). It has the Daemon Hater (see below)
and Sin of Righteousness (see below) attributes.
Daemon Hater: The thing imprisoned within the Mace of Judgement loathes other daemons with a purity and fury
that can only be possible from one of their own warp-spawned kind. When the Mace of Judgement strikes a warp
entity or any other creature with the Daemonic Trait, it automatically inflicts Righteous Fury on a Damage roll
result of 7-10. Targets with Daemonic Trait do not double their Toughness nor do they benefit from Unnatural
Toughness Trait against Mace of Judgement. For as long as the wielder has the Mace under their mastery, he has
Hatred(Daemons) and Hatred(Warp Spawn) Talents, with this hatred being so bitter that even slightest indication
of demonic beings around sets the wielder into similar state as Frenzy Talent would, but with no benefits other
than being fearless (as per Fearless Talent).
Sin of Righteousness: A wielder of the Mace of Judgement sees the Mace as the ultimate expression of his
authority over those less aware and knowledgeable. He has the need to keep it on hand at all times and expresses
all authority with the Mace at hand preferring to use it in any hostile situation. This grants the wielder Hatred (all
enemies of the wielder) Talents, but he also automatically gains an Acute Delusions of both Invulnarability and
Righteousness Disorders for as long as the Mace is under their mastery, whether it is in their hand or not.

M IDNIGHT
The weapon called Midnight has had many other names in the time since its forging beneath strange dying stars.
The daemon bound within Midnight is a thing that has been imprisoned for so long that all that remains is its
hunger; hunger for light, for hope, for life. Light and warmth are drawn to Midnight. Its true shape is a mystery: it
is glimpsed only as impressions of razor edges and barbs glimpsed in a pall of darkness.
Special Rules
Midnight contains a Greater Daemonic Entity (WP 68), with Warp Void Chill, Dark Fire, Warp Touched, and Light
Eater (see below) attributes.
Light Eater: The daemon weapon devours light, causing the area within 10m to be subject to Darkness that is not
cancelled by Dark Vision, photovisors, or any other means of seeing in the dark. This globe of darkness causes fear.
Those seeing it feel the horror as if the wielder had Fear(1) Trait and those within this Darkness are even more
Terrified suffering the wielder as having Fear(3) Trait.
The bearer of the daemon weapon is immune to the effects of the darkness it causes except being unable to
determine the exact shape or feel of this weapon. The wielder also gains the Dark Vision Trait whilst wielding it.

R OT G IVER
Rot Giver is a huge hammer of corroded iron. Its surface is patterned with blooms of rust and decay that to a
fevered mind might seem to be foul marks and hateful runes growing from within the metal itself. The weapon
was said to have been made of metal torn from space hulks which had drifted in the warp for seven thousand
years and forged in a furnace fired by corpses before being quenched the slime of a plague pit. Rot Giver is
surrounded by a nauseous air of decay; metal left in is presence crumbles to rust, wood rots, and dead flesh begins
to turn pale and rotten. Only the one who can master the will of the daemon within Rot Giver is untouched by its
power. Undiscovered and untamed in millennia, Rot Giver now lies in a space hulk. Once a great warship long ago,
the space hulk drifts through the Fydae Great Cloud waiting to be found once again.
Special Rules
Rot Giver is a contains a Daemonic Beast (WP 28) with the Flesh Bane and Gift of Rot (see below) attributes.
Gift of Rot: In addition to the accelerated rot to all things nearby, the Rot Giver turns any impacting energy into
instantenous rot in the material it is struck against. When someone is struck by Rot Giver see also if the result for
the to hit roll would also succeed in a Willpower Test using the bound Daemonic Beast’s Willpower. If it succeeds,
the protection the hit causes automatically additional Armour Damage(1) Critical Effect even if the hit does not
otherwise cause Critical Hit as tendrils of rust, rot, and decay spread from the point of impact. If the armour
protection at a location is to be reduced to 0, it is permanently destroyed and is beyond any attempts of repair.
Should the strike that also succeeded in the bound Daemonic Beast’s Willpower Test cause any Critical Hit
Damage, the rot spreads into the victim’s flesh letting him to succumb into his own decaying flesh. For the initial
success in the Beast’s Willpower Test and for each additional Degree of Success, the victim suffers additional
permanent Toughness Damage(1d10) Critical Effect. This Toughness Damage is very permanent and there is
unlikely any cure by neither natural or unnatural means.

H ESHT : G RANTER OF V ENGEANCE

Hesht is a dagger with two parallel blades of twisted metal like the teeth of a predatory beast. Thrust into the
chest of an enemy, the daemon bound within the blades gorges on the victim’s essence and soul. The victim is
slain in the most complete and terrible manner possible, and the daemon strains hungrily at its bonds seeking
more life on which to feed.
Hesht was forged by the foul enemies of the Imperium that were driven from the Calixis Sector by the Angevin
Crusade.
In desperation they turned all their vile arts to make weapons both great and small to try and turn the tide against
the forces of the Imperium. They failed and were annihilated, but their vile creations, of which Hesht is one,
endured and were left to tempt and corrupt those who had vanquished their creators.
Special Rules
Hesht contains a Bound Daemon (WP 40) with the Soul Drain (see below), Aetheric Render and Heart Seeker
attributes. In addition, every time Hesht drains a victim outright, the wielder must make a Daemonic Mastery test.
Soul Drain: If Hesht deals at least one Wound after all reductions and is deliberately struck into the chest near
enough to the heart (make a called strike) of a living victim without Stuff of Nighmares, Strange Physiology, From
Beyond or Undying Traits, the victim and the Bound Daemon make an Opposed Willpower Test. If the deamon
within Hesht wins the soul and the living essence of the victim is consumed within blink of an eye rendering the
target into crumbling drained looking hulk causing Death(Auto) Critical Effect. This process is highly gruesome to
watch and all those seeing it (including the wielder of Hesht) view the adobe as having Fear(3).
However, if the victim won the Willpower Test, he still loses some energy from both his body and soul. He will
suffer from Disoriented(until rested for day) Critical Effect and he gains number of Levels of Fatigue equal to 4
minus Degrees of Success by which he won.

T HE S CEPTRE OF T EN T HOUSAND M OONS

The Sceptre of Ten Thousand Moons is long rod of obsidian from which grinning sickle moons leer in constantly
shifting patterns. Topped with a spray of silver feathers and a blue gem the size of a human eye the Sceptre of Ten
Thousand Moons is possesses a destructive power craved by sorcerers and deceivers of all kinds. It is said to have
passed through the hands of dozens of warp dabbling cults in the Malfian subsector, and is whispered to have
betrayed each one it has served to their destruction. In whose hands it resides at present remains unknown.
Special Rules
The Sceptre of a Thousand Moons contains a Bound Daemon named Kaerdinia (WP 64) with the Null, Psychic Bane,
Betrayal (see below) and Incandescent Blast attributes (see below). It also functions as a Psy-focus and the wielder
only suffers Penalty of -20 to his Invocation Tests due the Null attribute.
Incandescent Blast: The sceptre can unleash bolts of multi hued warp energy at a target within 18m. To activate
this ability, make a test using the daemons Willpower to hit the target (rather than the Ballistic Skill normally used
for a ranged attack). Range does not modify this test, but other modifiers (such as aiming, cover, speed, and so
forth) apply as normal. Should the attack successfully hit its target, in cannot be Dodged and it can only become
Parried by Weapons with Holy quality, if otherwise able to Parry ranged attacks.
If the attack hits, it deals 1d10+4 E Damage with Penetration of 2. This Damage has Shocking, Proven(5), Plasma
and Igniting qualities and Warp Weapon Trait.
Betrayal: The Bound Daemon Kaerdinia has very fickle nature and it is very eager to first serve its master and then
as some sudden moment turn on him. There is no need for Daemonic Mastery Tests with Sceptre of Ten Thousand
Moons, for Kaerdinia will simply give in to any wielder. Kaerdinia is very likely to sense the social status and
motives of anyone using it and those nearby. Whenever someone with higher social ranking or influence seeks to
obtain the Sceptre from its wielder for personal power, Kaerdinia ceases to obey its current wielder and the
sceptre becomes simple staff (with Primitive quality, though still nearly indestructible) unless the wielder makes a
successful Daemonic Mastery Test each time he wishes to benefit from any of the Sceptre’s attributes or daemonic
nature. At GM’s discretion Kaerdinia should also try to take control from its wielder occasionally especially in
situations where he is weakened and tired. After taking control Kaerdinia is likely to lead it puppet into destruction
along with any followers this has though before doing so Kaerdinia should secure that it is passed to some new
powerhungry owner.

T HE S PEAR OF C OUNTLESS E YES

The Spear of Countless Eyes is a tall spear of hammered bronze whose dark wooden haft is carved with lidded eyes
that open and close to reveal rolling yellow irises and black slit pupils.
It was created by the warp corrupted hunter tribes who dwelt on Iocanthos long before the Imperium claimed it.
The Spear of Countless Eyes is said to make a hunter able to see with unnatural clarity and be able to feel all that
passes around him as if it were the touch of wind on his skin. Though the old dark ways have long been burnt from
Iocanthos, such relics as the Spear of Countless Eyes endure to as a memory of a dark past that may return once
again.
Special Rules
The Spear of Countless Eyes contains a Warp Predator (WP 26) with the Hungering and Instinct of the Beast (see

XENOS WEAPONS
DARK ELDAR WEAPONS
Splinter Weaponry are the primary weapon type used by Dark Eldar forces. They all operate around the same
general mechanism as a Rail-Gun, splitting off shards of a Neurotoxin that has been solidified into a crystal up into
thousands of tiny splinters and then launching them at incredible speeds towards an enemy.
S PLINTER P ISTOL
The Splinter Pistol is the ranged weapon of choice for most the remainder of the Dark Eldar forces, finding
frequent use in the ranks of Archons, Wyches, Reaver Jetbikers and most Sybarites and Dracons. Usually paired
with a Monomolecular Knife or Claw and used as a pair for added effectiveness in assaults. The Splinter Pistol uses
the same ammunition and firing mechanisms as the rifle, although compacted and therefore have shorter range,
and with a smaller ammunition crystal to reduce the weight even further. Splinter Pistol crystals are therefore the
most frequently impregnated with toxins, as they are the weapons that need the added effect most.

The most common Dark Eldar weapon in the armoury, the Splinter Rifle is used by nearly every citizen of
Commorragh at some point in their lives. It's the standard weapon of choice for Kabalite Warriors. The weapon is
light-weight and usually sports monomolecular blades for added functionality in melee combat. It features a
medium sized ammunition crystal to reduce weight while still maintaining a decent amount of ammo before the
user needs to reload.
The gun houses an ammunition disintegration generator to break up the crystal into shards, along with a cyclic
ammunition feeder to house the shards before firing. Once fired, it routes the energy used to disintegrate the
ammunition crystal through a magno-electric impulse chamber that accelerates the crystal to supersonic speeds,
rocketing it towards its intended target.

ELDAR WEAPONS

E LDAR S HURIKEN W EAPONS

The ancient Eldar race has little to do with the Calixis Sector, and they are believed to consider it accursed. Save for
the occasional privations of their corsairs and a handful of wandering outcasts, they and their potent technology
remain little more than a myth for most. Eldar artefacts, as a consequence, are rare and hugely valuable when
traded on the sector’s black market. Eldar weapons are particularly prized, fetching huge sums from private
collectors. Shuriken weaponry is one such type—these guns are graceful dealers of death that use sophisticated
gravity accelerators to hurl volleys of miniature razor disks to literally slice their victims apart in seconds.
Shuriken weapons use solid core ammunition which Imperial technology cannot replicate; as a result their
ammunition is classed as Very Rare with a base price of 500 Thrones a clip.
Targeters on Eldar weapons are made to adapt into being and presence of its user, but this works only for those
with Eldar souls. If Eldar weapons are used by any other race these targeters do not work.

Class: (ELDAR) Melee (Harlequin), (OTHER RACES) Exotic (Harlequin’s Kiss)
The Harlequin's Kiss (Eldar: brathu-angau, translated "kiss of doom" or "kiss of evil") also known as Sting, is a
tubular wrist-mounted Monofilament Injector. The harlequin’s kiss resembles a long tube attached to the back of
the forearm. The rear of the tube is filled with highly compressed coiled loops of monomolecular wire, nearly a
hundred metres worth. As the name suggests it is widely associated with the Eldar Harlequins. The Kiss is only
effective in close combat. When the weapon’s spiked tip strikes the target, the wire is released and instantly bursts
through even the smallest puncture to fill the interior of a body or vehicle. Capable of piercing armour, if the wire
penetrates its victim it instantly uncoils and lashes around violently, liquefying bones and internal organs, and
causing immediate death. In seconds flesh is turned into liquid as the wire races through the enclosed space and
then retracts back into the device for its next use. Most victims are dead before knowing they were even struck.
Any victim who has his armour bypassed, pierced or otherwise has no protection is instantly killed if hit with
harlequin’s kiss.

Synonymous with the Eldar race is the shuriken catapult, as any Guardsman who has faced the xenos and lived can
confirm. As is much of their technology, the shuriken catapult is not made so much as grown, from a light
substance called wraithbone. When fired, a shuriken catapult unleashes a hail of razor–sharp monomolecular
discs—the eponymous shuriken. Whilst lacking the penetrating power of larger weapons, the sheer volume of
firepower a shuriken catapult can unleash—not to mention the devastating effects such a hail can have on a lightly
armoured target—more than makes up for it.

The favoured weapon of the Eldar Ranger is the Ranger long rifle, a long–barrelled sniper weapon not dissimilar to
the long las used by Imperial snipers. Whereas the long las is an upgrade to the humble lasgun, the Ranger long
rifle is a more advanced las–weapon entirely, seemingly custom grown for the user, tailored perfectly to their
eyesight and grip. Whereas the artificial crystals used in Imperial las–technology struggles to maintain a focused
beam over long distances, the psychically grown crystals used by the Eldar are able to focus a tight beam over a
much greater distance, allowing a skilled user to punch through weak points in armour at great distances.

ORK WEAPONS
Ork equipment is technically difficult to get hold of – after all, no right–minded Imperial arms trader would sell
xenos technology, no matter how crude. Unofficially, there are parts of the Calixis Sector where it is much more
plentiful, especially areas recently attacked by Orks. For this reason, via legitimate routes Availability of Ork
equipment counts as scarce, but via black market channels it is common.
For some unkown reason, which even the Orks are not aware of, Ork weapons are not Unreliable in the hands of
an Ork. For this same reason (or maybe some other, who knows) Ork melee weapons are not primitive in the
hands of an Ork.
B IG C HOPPA
Class: (ORKS) Melee Weapon Training, (OTHER RACES) Melee (Primitive)
Also known as 'Uge Choppas or Big Clubs are enormously massive two-handed Ork weapons, that serve as the
mark of a real connoisseur of brutality, even amongst Ork warriors. They can take many forms from great axes
with jagged metal teeth to heavy clubs with plenty of spikes to make them more "killy" and give them a more
agressive look. Some Mekboys even make Big Choppas resembling crude Ork versions of Chainaxes.
Their unsubtle design and massive weight is capable of packing a considerably harder hit than regular Choppas -
wielded with a overhead swing which will turn most opponents into splutchy pancakes on hit. They are are chosen
more for sheer weight than subtlety and require both hands to carry and wield them. Big Choppas are usually
wielded by Ork Nobs or Warbosses who can do even more damage with it using their great strength.

Big Shoota is a loud, heavy, large-calibre machine gun that bucks and sparks like crazy when the trigger is pulled.
Big Shootas are usually bolted on vehicles - from Grot Tanks to Stompas for for anti-personnel support, but
sometimes a Shoota Boy manages to acquire a big shoota that gives his mob some real anti-infantry power,
causing envy among other Boys. Big shootas are fed from chunky magazines of ammo by crank handles, motors or
some other clever mechanisms. They are often kustomized to have multiple barrels, big crosshair sights, longer
ammo belts and such.
Orks have some sort of special way of using these weapon or they otherwise manage to operate the as they were a
lot lighter than they actually are. Orks use big shootas as if they were any other basic weapon (they just have more
Dakka!). If any non-Ork character tries to wield a big shoota, it requires a lot more Strength. Non-ork characters
fire big shootas as if they were Heavy weapons.

way a Power Fist is, and so can effortlessly rip through any armour, tearing any enemy into bloody paste. It is
particularly effective against vehicles. These weapons are amongst the biggest and choppiest an Ork can possess
and often serve as symbol of status as well as a weapon. As such, many of them are owned by Warbosses or by
particularly brutish Nobs, in which hands Power Klaws become even more effective, due to their skill and strength.

The shootiest of shootas are known as snazzguns, weapons favoured by the most ostentatious and obnoxious of

Flash Gitz hard–wire their snazzguns to their primitive bionics, incorporating a variety of barrels, scopes and
targeting arrays into their gear—not that this necessarily makes them any better shots, but it does make them feel
bigger and cleverer as they’re shooting.
An individual snazzgun shoots either bolts of energy or shells, but not both. Snazzguns have a random penetration
value, for the velocity of their shots varies with every shot. A Snazzgun, just like a Shoota, is inherently Inaccurate.
However, when targeting equipment or bionics are used with the snazzgun, it loses the Inaccurate weapon quality
instead of gaining any bonuses to hit.

TAU WEAPONS

T AU P ULSE W EAPONS
These weapons are commonly referred to as Pulse Weapons, as they fire micro-pulses of accelerated plasma at
high power and great distance.
Markerlight is essentially a laser targeting system wielded by Tau infantry, mounted on a weapon, carried by a
drone and aimed like any other weapon.
The markerlight itself does no damage, but instead provides targeting information to other Tau units and vehicles.
This increases the effectiveness of other Tau units firing at the "lit" target. In addition, the markerlight can be used
to give a squad instant support, as when a markerlight is fired, a signal can be sent to a remote Seeker Missile
mounted on a vehicle to seek out the painted target and destroy it, completely independent of the vehicle. Each
Markerlight has its own unique pulse pattern, which is transmitted to the Seeker Missile's guidance controls prior
to launch, to ensure the missile follows the correct beam to its target.
The only downside is that while invisible in normal conditions, it becomes visible when it passes through dense
airborne gas or vapour (such as smoke or fog) and in so doing risks giving away the user’s positionPulse Carbine.
Any target lit up with Markerlight is considered one range step closer than it is for any other Tau unit firing upon
the target.
P ULSE C ARBINE
Class: (TAU) Basic Weapon Training, (OTHER RACES) Exotic (Tau Pulse Carbine)
The Pulse Carbine is a shorter and lighter version of the Tau Pulse Rifle used by forward scouting teams known as
Pathfinders. The reduced barrel length means that the weapon cannot be used at as great a distance as the Pulse
Rifle, but the design allows greater air flow around the shortened barrel as well, resulting in the potential for a far
greater rate of fire.
As well as firing the standard Pulse ammunition used by the Tau Empire, many Pulse Carbines mount underslung

Class: (TAU) Basic Weapon Training, (OTHER RACES) Exotic (Tau Pulse Rifle)
The Pulse Rifle is the standard weaponry of Tau Fire Warriors and their Shas'ui leaders. While about the size of an
Imperial Lasgun, it is far more powerful. It fires a plasma pulse, which is generated when an induction field
accelerates a particle which breaks down as it leaves the barrel. The small circular device near the end of the barrel
is housing for a gyroscope that is part of an aim-stabilization system that allows the rifle to remain steady on target
and angled for optimal firing at distance, regardless of factors like shaking hands. This helps to give pulse rifles a
greater effective range than many other infantry weapons.

The Rail Rifle is a man-portable version of the vehicle mounted railguns used by the Tau. They use linear
accelerator technology to propel a solid projectile at hypervelocity, allowing the round to punch through the
thickest armors or pass straight through unarmourmed targets with devastating effects. The advanced Target Lock
built into each Rail Rifle identifies hostile targets and automatically calculates and adjusts for distance and
environmental factors, giving the weapon the intimidating reputation of being able to shoot the eagle out of a
commissar's hat.
Requires a power pack (+5kg) which is worn as a backpack provides the power for the Rail Rifle. These power packs
are Near Unique and cost at least 2500 Thrones each. These power packs cannot be reloaded with Imperial
knowledge.
The target lock prevents user from firing at any targets that have friendly signal or are otherwise identified as
friendly. If the roll to hit would indicate a hit on a friendly target, the shot counts as not fired at all instead.

R IPPER G UN
Class: (Ogryn) Basic Weapon Training (SP), (OTHER RACES) Heavy Weapon Training (SP)
Larger, easier to use, and much more sturdy than a standard Combat Shotgun, a Ripper is a specialized Ogryn
Weapon. These powerful weapons would be far too large and heavy for any human to use, even mounted or
braced. But for an Ogryn, these weapons are ideal. A popular upgrade is the bayonet melee attachment, which
have been used as an extra grip by many Ogryn, who simply don't notice the sharpness of the blade.
As a result, Ripper is large, rugged and exceedingly brutal. Shells for Ripper Guns cost five times as much as normal.
Further, the Ripper Gun is so robust that it may be used as a Great Club in melee. In the hands of anyone who is
smaller than an Ogryn (anyone who lacks the Hulking, Enormous or Massive traits), it counts as a Heavy weapon
instead of a Basic weapon and has Unbalanced quality.

AMPUTATOR ROUNDS
Filled with explosive micro-shrapnel, these bullets are designed to shear flesh and shatter bone, causing limbs to
be blown away.
Effects: Damage type of the weapon is changed to X, but the weapon’s Penetration is reduced by 1. Weapon’s
damage is reduced by 2, if the target has armour with Impact Absorption or Ablative quality.
Used with: Solid Projectile weapons that use normal bullets.

AMPUTATOR SHELLS
Filled with explosive micro-shrapnel, these bullets are designed to shear flesh and shatter bone, causing limbs to
be blown away.
Effects: Damage type changed to X, lose Scatter quality. Weapon’s Damage is reduced by 2, if the target has
armour with Impact Absorption or Ablative quality.
Used with: Any Shotgun

ARROWS / QUARRELS
Arrows and quarrels come in a variety of shapes, sizes and materials ranging from crude wooden shafts with flint
tips to steel darts with razor-sharp points.
Used with: Bows (Arrows), crossbows and hand bows (Quarrels).

143
BLAZER SHELLS
These shells are packed with pyrotechnic materials, so when fired a huge gout of flame is produced for several
seconds.
While not as lethal as regular rounds, a volley excels at frightening off most enemies. As they can also be used in
standard shotguns, they offer excellent tactical flexibility without the need for specialised flamer weapons. The
duration of the discharge means it can only be used in single-shot mode.
Blazer shotgun shells may be used with any shotgun and, when fired, reduce the weapon’s Range to 15 metres
unless that would be greater than its actual Range. In addition, they change the weapon’s Damage type to Energy
(E) and give it the Spray, Flame and Primitive qualities. If extra ammo consumption for Flame quality is rolled, this
halves the Damage (rounding leftover up) instead of other effects.
Used with: Shotguns of any type

BLEEDER ROUNDS
This ammunition is treated with toxins to prevent coagulation and keep wounds bleeding freely. These shells are
designed to burst on penetration and spread the anti-coagulants quickly. If the target receives any Unprotected
Critical Effect from these bullets, the automatically cause Blood Loss(1) on top of any other effects.
Used with: Solid Projectile weapons that use normal bullets.

BLESSED AMMUNITION
The prayers and blessing of those of true faith in the God-Emperor of Mankind, coupled with the ancient lore of
Ecclesiastical alchemistry, is able to turn mere mundane bullets capable of harming the foul denizens of the warp
and other such unnatural horrors.
The sole effect of these upgrades is to make the Damage caused by the weapon in question counted as “Holy”,
which has certain effects on some Daemonic and warp creatures (as will be noted in their description). Obtaining
such items is only possible through the Holy Ordos or high-ranking members of the Ecclesiarchy, and the cost and
rarity shown reflects this.
Blessed Ammunition is used with: Bolt Weapons, Flamers, and Solid Projectile Weapons.

BOLT SHELLS
The mass-reactive explosive bolt shell is among the deadliest kind of round in the Imperial arsenal. However the
difficulty and cost of its manufacture restricts its use to all but the most wealthy or well connected.
Used with: Bolt pistols, bolters and heavy bolters.

BULLETS
Hard rounds are common for many weapons within the Imperium and vary greatly in calibre and design. Bullets
from one kind of firearm cannot be used in another unless they are very similar in make. So for example you could
use bullets bought for a stub revolver in a stub automatic, but not in an autogun.
Used with: Solid Projectile weapons, except for shotguns.

CHARGE PACK
Charge packs are powerful batteries used almost exclusively by las weapons. The cost of a charge pack varies
depending on the class of the weapon. In all cases, however, it provides shots equal to the weapon’s full clip value.
Used with: Las weapons

CRYO PACIFICATION SHELLS

On the deathworld of Haddrack the locals herd ill-tempered large lizard-like creatures called langaashi that are
relient to any forms of damage including shock. To herd them the locals have developed some very special
equipment including cryo pacification shells that are used to cause cold shock to one of these creatures in order to
pacify it from the distance.
Effects: Lose Scatter quality and gain Numbing quality. Damage is reduced by 2 and its type is changed to I. The
target is forced to make a Cold Test(+0).
Used with: Any Shotgun

144
CRYPTUS SHOTGUN SHELLS
On the world of Cryptus, the Templum of The Sacred Lights of the God-Emperor was renowned for being
constructed entirely of glass. Its foundations were laid on the day the planet was reclaimed by the Imperium
during the Angevin crusade. In 702.M39, the cathedral was unexpectedly attacked by a hitherto unknown
renegade cult calling themselves the Light-burners.
During the fighting, as the cathedral’s Frateris Militia rallied and drove back the assault, several cultists broke
through the militia’s lines, reached the towering gates of the cathedral, and sacrificed themselves to summon forth
five towering daemons wreathed in black flames. At the moment the daemons set foot within the cathedral, a
sonorous bell was heard and moments later the glass shattered and the cathedral exploded into a stream of white
fire. The fires that swept out of the cathedral extended for almost a mile and burned for over a month. When the
fires finally died out, nothing was left of the great edifice but thousands of white glass shards covering the ground.
Experiments by members of the Holy Ordos revealed that the glass was naturally resistant to the Warp and caused
great pain and harm to the foul denizens of the immaterium. Over time, the Ordos Malleus ended up with nominal
control over the ruined site, grudgingly accepted by the Ministorum save for the hundreds of pilgrims who
regularly process to the blasted wasteland on the anniversary of its destruction.
Effect: The glass, when used in a shotgun shell, causes the weapon’s attack to be treated as Sanctified which has
certain effects on Daemons and some Warp creatures (as will be noted in their description). Furthermore, any
Daemonic or Warp creature struck at short range by a shotgun loaded with Cryptus shotgun shells is blinded for
1d5 rounds.
Used with: Shotguns of any type

DUMDUM BULLETS
These heavy blunt bullets are designed to cause maximum tissue damage and can tear apart soft targets, though
they are less effective against armour. Dumdum bullets add 2 to the weapon’s Damage, however Armour Points
count double against them.
Used with: Any weapon that is uses normal bullets

EXECUTIONER SHOTGUN SHELLS

These rare and specialised shells (whose use is often limited to the upper echelons such as Judges and important
members of the Castigators and Mortiurges of the Adeptus Arbites) contain miniaturised propulsion and
stabilisation systems allowing the shell to lock on and track its target. The mechanisms that achieve this are little
understood and extremely hard to replicate, and so remain within the purview of those Magos-Munitorium that
provide the Arbites with their sanctioned and ordained arms.
Effects: The weapon loses the Scatter Quality, but adds +4 to its base Damage and +1 to its base Penetration.
Shots require line of sight when firing but never miss hitting always the body and no Ballistic Skill Test is needed,
but shots cannot be called shots, and the defensive value of any cover for your target is ignored. When firing
Executioner rounds, the weapon may not be used for Semi-Automatic or Automatic fire.
Used with: Any Shotgun

EXITUS AMMUNITION
All Exitus ammunition (including all special rounds) contain miniaturised cogitator targeting-spirits that make them
nearly impossible to avoid. They give a +10 bonus to the firer’s Ballistic Skill. Any attempt to Dodge an attack from
an Exitus rifle suffers a –30 penalty. Also when firing at a target behind a cover, the firer may choose that any hits
are always scored to those locations that are not covered. Exitus rounds can also be programmed to self-destruct.
The rounds are disintegrated, consumed as if destroyed by a virus, and leave no trace behind.
Used with: Exitus rifle and Exitus pistol

145
E XITUS H YPER -D ENSITY P ENETRATORS
Somewhat standard ammunition for Exitus weapons. These specially made Hyper-Density Penetrators contain the
miniaturized cogitator spirits that make the Exitus ammunition very accurate. As ordinary Hyper-Density
Penetrators these rounds have been made from a unique dense metal alloy only made possible by exploiting the
strange gravitational forces within the Lathe System. The normal benefits from Hyper-Density Penetrators have
already been applied to the the profile of any Exitus weapon.
Effects: Any hits ignore Impact Absorption, Deflect and Unyielding armour qualities.
Used with: Exitus rifle and Exitus pistol
S HIELD -B REAKER R OUND
This round is an Exitus Hyper-Density Penetrator that is also specially-treated with a psychically-charged imprint,
and contains a complex circuit of anti-phase technology that is little understood even by the Mechanicus.
Effects: In addition to effects of an Exitus Hyper-Density Penetrator, this ammunition ignores the Daemonic Trait,
any protection from a Psychic Powers, and the protection from any Field quality item. When this round hits a
target utilising a protective Psychic Power and/or an item with the Field quality, that Psychic Power and/or Field
ceases to function for 1 Round. Hits also have Proven(3) quality.
Used with: Exitus rifle and Exitus pistol
H ELLFIRE R OUND
This round is a special Exitus Hyper-Density Penetrator, but the Hellfire round has devastating effects on organic
matter— its core is filled with a vial of mutagenic acid. Thousands of armour-piercing micro-needles inject the
target with this acid upon impact, eating away flesh and metal alike with horrific speed.
Effects: In addition to effects of an Exitus Hyper-Density Penetrator, the weapon inflicts Righteous Fury on any
damage die results of a 9 or 10. The weapon also gains the Tearing, Toxic(d10*2 ) and Lethal qualities.
Used with: Exitus rifle and Exitus pistol
T URBO -P ENETRATOR R OUND
This round is a special Exitus Hyper-Density Penetrator and the turbo-penetrator round is a hypervelocity,
adamantine-jacketed shell surrounding a special magno-sealed flux needle. These special rounds are renowned for
their ability to pierce nearly any armour, and the hypervelocity shell wreaks havoc upon any target, often by the
secondary effects of its passage through the target’s molecular structure.
Effects: In addition to effects of an Exitus Hyper-Density Penetrator, the weapon inflicts +1d10 Damage and adds
+5 to its Penetration. In addition, the weapon has Proven(3) and Felling(1) qualities.
Used with: Exitus rifle and Exitus pistol

EXOTIC
There are many kinds of weapons in the Imperium that use unusual types of ammunition, for example the finely
crafted darts of a needle pistol. GMs should feel free to increase the cost of exotic ammunition depending on its
rarity.
Used with: Ammo specific to certain Exotic / Xenos weapon.

FLECHETTE SHELLS
Rather than the conventional payload of dense metal shot, these Shotgun shells instead contain bundles of fin-
stabilised mono-edged darts. While the effective range of these shells is very short they tend to instantly
incapacitate any unarmoured or very lightly armoured foe.
Effecs: Flechettes will not fly beyond short range. Shots gain +2 Penetration and Splintering quality.
Used with: Any Shotgun

146
FREEZE BOLTS (HADDRACK AND KARRIKIAN)
Lately some heretek-made Freeze Bolts have been found in use on Haddrack when people are trying to bring down
some of the stubbornest and mean tempered langaashi creatures for slaughter, though some Freeze Bolts have
been told to have been used in rivalries between many noble families on Haddrck. Many Freeze Bolts are quite
identical to cryo pacification shells, but some of these bolts have somewhat different design when compared to
already accepted cryo pacification shells as these Freeze Bolts employ a piece of Karrikian Frost inside a very sharp
plasteen shard tipped containment chamber along with small piece of melta gel. This combination tends pierce
rather deep into tha target’s flesh before freezing its intestines. Adeptus Mechanicus representatives have
comdemned the use thebolts as very high level tech heresy since each bolt has its sanctioned marking discrazed
with the ultimate haresy of modifying it after sacred auila stamp has been pressed on its casing. Despite this
condemnation, Haddrack is a very hostile planet with many ongoing civil struggles and barely has any Adeptus or
Administratum precence giving much room for any Heretek willing to create these bolts and the demand is also
rather high since the harsh environment has made many locals to purchase a bolter to maintain their ability to
defend themselves.
Effects:
Haddrack Freeze Bolts: Lose Tearing quality and gain Numbing quality. Damage and Penetration are reduced by 3
and Damage type is changed to I. The target is forced to make a Cold Test(+0).
Karrikian Freeze Bolts: Lose Tearing quality. Damage and Penetration are reduced by 2 and Damage type is
changed to P. The target is forced to make a Cold Test(+0). However, if the hit causes any Critical Hit Damage, the
target must make Cold Test(-20) instead.
Used with: Any basic or pistol bolt weapon.

FUEL
Flame weapons use liquid fuel, which can vary greatly in composition and quality from purest promethium to
crude flammable alcohols. The cost of fuel varies depending on the class of the weapon. In all cases, however, it
provides shotsequal to the weapon’s full clip value.
Used with: Flame weapons

HEAVY ROUNDS
These rounds vary a lot like normal bullets. They are used with heavy weapons of the imperium and one type
rarely is usable in different weapon. Weapons requiring these heavy ammunition are e.g. autocannons and assault
cannons.
Used with: Autocannons, assault cannons

HELLGUN CAPACITOR
Standard-issue large backpack capacitors to provide energy for hellguns. Often used by special troops lie Storm
Troopers. Each capacitor fits hellgun of any size and pattern. Backpack are available in three different sizes:
-10Kg backpack gives 40 ammunition.
-15Kg backpack gives 100 ammunition and doubles reload time.
-20Kg backpack gives 200 ammunition and doubles reload time.
Note that many hellgun patterns also have own capacitors available with different costs, weights and reload times.

HOT-SHOT CHARGE
This is a single powerful charge pack for a las weapon. A weapon using a hot-shot charge adds 3 to its Damage,
gains Tearing quality, and gains Penetration of 3 if the weapon did not previously have this or better, in which case
its Penetration is increased by one. However, the weapon loses its Reliable special quality, and its clip is reduced to
1 (basically hot-shots are one-use charge packs). If weapon did not have Reliable quality, it gains Overheats quality.
Hot-Shot Charge cannot be used with weapons that have Concealable quality.
Always resolve firing a gun with hot-shot charge as if it had been fired with using Las quality and Full-Auto burst
that has Rate of Fire 4. Though, note that firing still requires only a half-action.
Used with: Any pistol (las) or basic weapon (las).

147
HYPER-DENSITY PENETRATORS
Famously nicknamed “Lathe Body-Blowers” for their appalling effect of ploughing through vulnerable flesh, these
bullets are cast from a unique dense metal alloy only made possible by exploiting the strange gravitational forces
within the Lathe System. Because of their great mass, they must be propelled by a far more powerful explosive
charge than a normal round, and so are limited only to the sturdiest firearms capable of handling them.
Effects: Increase its Penetration by 2 to a minimum of 4. The weapon gains the Impact(Extreme) quality. The
weapon gains also Recoil(4) quality or if it already had Recoil quality, its level is increased by one. Any hits ignore
Impact Absorption, Deflect and Unyielding armour qualities.
Used with: Good or better Craftsmanship weapon from following categories:
Hand cannon, hunting rifles, shotguns (lose the Scatter quality) for 1x cost
Bolt pistols, boltguns, heavy bolters (with bolters weapon Damage type changes from X to P and they lose Tearing
Quality) for 2x cost, Autocannons for 3x cost.

INFERNO SHELLS
These shells contain a volatile, clinging gel that ignites on contact with the target.
Effects: Lose Scatter quality and gain Igniting quality and Damage is reduced by 3.
Used with: Any Shotgun

MAN-STOPPER BULLETS
These densely tipped bullets are designed to punch through armour. A weapon using man-stopper rounds gains
Penetration of 3 and Impact(Normal) quality if the weapon does not already have better Penetration or more
effective Impact quality, in which case its Penetration is increased by 1.
Used with: Solid Projectile weapons that use normal bullets.

MELTA CANISTER
Meltaguns use specially refined chemicals injected into highly pressurised canisters. The cost of a melta canister
varies depending on the class of the weapon. In all cases, however, it provides shots equal to the weapon’s full clip
value.
Used with: Inferno weapons and melta weapons.

MONO TIP ARROWS / QUARRELS

Arrows and quarrels come in a variety of shapes and sizes but their effectiveness against modern armour is very
limited. By applying a mono treatment on a hard steel tip arrows and quarrels are far more deadlier as they can
penetrate even modern armour. Application of mono treatment costs 8 Thrones per arrow/quarrel. The
penetration of the weapon is increased by 2 when using mono tip arrows/quarrels and hits do not have Primitive
quality. However, the weapon itself retains its Primitive quality.
Used with: Bows (Arrows), crossbows and hand bows (Quarrels).

OVERCHARGE PACK
This is an enhanced power pack for a las weapon increasing the strength of its fire. When using overcharge packs
the weapon’s Semi-Auto rate of fire is increased by 1 to a minimum of 2 and if the weapon has Full-Auto fire rate,
it is increased by 2. The weapon with overcharge pack must always be fired with either Semi-Auto or Full-Auto
Burst. If the weapon with overcharge pack is fired using Pulse mode, the weapon has its Penetration increased by
one.
Used with: Any Pistol (Las) or Basic weapon (Las).

PLASMA FLASK
Raw plasma weapon fuel consists of highly dangerous and volatile photonic hydrogen, compressed and contained
within reinforced flasks. The cost of a plasma flask varies depending on the class of the weapon. In all cases,
however, it provides shots equal to the weapon’s full clip value.
Used with: Plasma weapons.

148
PSYBOLT AMMUNITION
Psychically charged bolt shells tipped with truesilver and etched with powerful rites, Psybolt ammunition glows
with an eerie blue light when fired from a bolt weapon. Any Bolt weapon equipped with Psybolt ammunition
ignore any protection based on psychic powers or Sorcery and cannot be stopped by powers such as Catch
Projectiles. In addition, the weapon counts as Sanctified.
Add +2 to all Critical Damage inflicted against targets with Sorcery, Psy Rating or Daemonic Traits and other warp
entities.
Used with: Any bolt weapon

PSYCANNON BOLTS
A true psycannon is a highly advanced form of bolter weapon utilised by the legendary Grey Knights, and aside
from their armouries and a few powerful members of the Ordo Malleus, it is extremely rare even among the ranks
of the Inquisition. Psycannon bolts, however, utilise the same core of psy-anthaemic substance in their
construction and are capable of ripping through warp-stuff and barriers of psychic force with ease. Shockingly fatal
even to those without psychic powers, it is whispered by some that those slain by psycannon bolts have their souls
snuffed out like guttering candles.
Psycannon Bolts add the Psy Rating of the user to the damage dealt and against targets with Sorcery, Psy Rating or
Daemonic Traits and other warp entities they add +2 to all Critical Damage inflicted. Damage inflicted by
psycannon bolts is classed as Holy and ignores any psychically or warp-generated armour or protective field (such
as Daemonic Resilience, Telekinetic Shield, etc. or items with Field quality) and cannot be stopped by psychic
powers such as Catch Projectiles.
Psycannon bolts are only ever obtainable from somebody with full Inquisitorial rank.
Used with: Psycannon weapons.

PSYFLAME AMMUNITION
The promethium used in flamers can be replaced with the psychically charged promethium, like that used in
Incinerators, with a few simple modifications that prevent undue stress on the weapon. Flamer weapons equipped
with Psyflame Ammunition ignore any protection based on psychic powers or Sorcery and cannot be stopped by
powers such as Catch Projectiles and any psychic abilities that protect from flames do not affect psyflame.
Psyflame ammunition adds the Psy Rating of the user to the damage dealt and against targets with Sorcery, Psy
Rating or Daemonic Traits and other warp entities also adds +2 to all Critical Damage inflicted. The weapon’s
damage also counts as Sanctified, and targets in the weapon’s area of effect suffer an additional –10 modifier to
any Tests to avoid the flames if they posses Psy Rating or Sorcery.
Used with: Any flame weapon with both Flame and Igniting qualities.

PURITY ROUNDS
Designed for use within more primitive projectile weapons such as crossbows and hand bows, the “Purity” round
has recently come back in to favour, as the Cult of the Pure Form expands its influence. Each round has a small
haywire generator that activates the moment the shot strikes its target, leaving little chance to escape. Purity
Rounds are purchased like regularhand bow quarrels.
Used with: any weapon that would use quarrels as ammunition.

SHELLS
Shells contain dozens of tiny balls and are designed to scatter over a wide area when fired, making them ideal for
close-in work where accuracy is less important.
Used with: Shotguns, pump-action shotguns and combat shotguns.

SHOT
Shot is solid lead or stone balls and a powder charge used in primitive blackpowder weapons.
Used with: Flintlock pistol and musket.

149
SHOTGUN BOLT SHELLS, MODIFIED
Decried by the Adeptus Mechanicus, numerous illicit munitionsmiths in the bowels of Hive Worlds and starships
and the lawless fringes of the Imperium have long been adapting bolt ammunition so that it can be fired from
Shotguns. Unreliable, they are nonetheless popular due to the extra range and firepower.
Effects: Lose Scatter and Reliable qualities and gain Unreliable, Unstable, Proven(3) and Bolt qualities. Weapon
Damage exchanged to 1d10+4 X and Penetration exchanged to 3.
Used with: Any Shotgun

SOLID SLUGS
Perhaps the most common alternate form of Shotgun ammunition, a solid slug is literally just a solid lump of dense
metal. While not quite as devastating at extremely close ranges, the slugs pack a considerable punch and are more
effective at longer ranges than the normal cloud of shot.
Effects: Lose Scatter quality.
Used with: Any Shotgun

SOUBIROUS POWER PACK

Upon the mining world of Soubirous, there are four rocks scattered throughout the endless mine tunnels that are
naturally formed in the shape of the Imperium’s doubleheaded eagle. The mine has since been converted into a
shrine, the stones wreathed in a blue-white eternal flame.
While Soubirous is not a common destination, pilgrims who undertake the hazardous journey to each of the
burning eagles may be allowed access to a small Templum deep within the planet’s crust. Within the Templum, a
well of ever-burning promethium is said to be blessed by the Emperor. Numerous prophets have spoken of hearing
the Emperor’s voice ringing out within the caverns. If they approach it, they may place a single lasgun charge close
to the well overnight, which recharges it. Recharging a lasgun powerpack in this way renders it incapable of being
recharged again. However, shots fired with a las-weapon using such a “blessed” power pack count as Sanctified
which has certain effects on Daemons and some Warp creatures (as noted in their descriptions). Any creature with
the Warp Instability trait which takes one or more points of damage from a lasgun fired with a blessed power pack
must Test for Warp Instability.
Soubirous Power Pack is used with: Any Pistol or Basic weapon with Las quality.

STALKER BOLT ROUNDS

Designed for sniping these rounds make a bolt weapon almost completely silent as the round exits the weapon
with only a hushed hiss. The shot is as silent as if fired with a silencer.
Effects: Lose Tearing quality and reduce Damage by 2. Weapon counts as if having silencer when using Stalker Bolt
Rounds
Used with: Any Bolt Weapon

STUN SHELLS
Used by some enforcers, Arbitrators, bounty hunters and game hunters to subdue targets rather than kill them,
these shells contain a small, single-use shock generator connected to a collection of sharp metal prongs. The shell
discharges into an enemy struck, expending its entire charge in one go.
Effects: Lose Scatter quality and gain Numbing and Shocking qualities. Damage type changed to I.
Used with: Any Shotgun

150
TEMPEST BOLT SHELLS
Tempest bolts shells are manufactured in one place only, Mars, the only world capable of exploiting the rare and
potent technology needed to produce such arms. Tempest shells contain a powerful miniaturised plasma-shock
generator that releases a pulse of electromagnetic and thermal energy as the shell detonates. Quantities of
Tempest shells are held in the armouries of the Magos Militant of the Lathes and used to equip the tech-priest
Destructor Covenants sent out to destroy hereteks and other rogue elements, as they are particularly effective at
destroying corrupted or abominable machines.
Effects: Change the weapon’s Damage class from X to E. The weapon also gains Plasma quality and its Penetration
is increased by one. Against enemies with Machine Trait the Damage also has Shocking quality that affects
Machine Trait.
Used with: Bolt pistols, boltguns and heavy bolters.

TRACER ROUNDS
Tracer rounds are anointed with a pyrotechnic alchemical compound during construction, so that they burn
brightly and visibly in flight, to allow for aiming corrections. Tracer rounds are usually interspersed with regular
ammo, with every fourth or fifth round being a tracer. As a side effect of its luminescence, a tracer round can ignite
highly combustible materials, and so certain precautions should be observed when firing them.
Effect: When making a Full-Auto Attack, the character suffers only half of the Penalties from the movement speed
of the target. At the GM’s discretion, tracers may have a chance of igniting inflammable materials at up to long
range.
Used with: Solid Projectile weapons, except for shotguns.

VOID ROUNDS
Specialised void rounds can be created by using selfigniting chemicals such that the weapon can be used in void
environments without the risk of misfiring or rapid overheating.
Weapons using void rounds gain the Reliable quality in void conditions.
Available for: Any SP round or Bolt ammo can be upgraded to void Round.

WEBBER FILAMENTS
Viscous gel of a webber that spreads into thin super-strong filaments.
Used with: Any weapon with Web quality

WEAPON UPGRADES
Weapons can be given upgrades to enhance their performance. Which weapons and how many upgrades can be
applied are noted in the upgrade descriptions. A character with the Trade (Armourer) skill may upgrade weapons
by making a successful test.
The cost and availability of each upgrade refers to the component and not the cost of attaching it, which
characters must pay for separately. Upgrades also modify a weapon’s weight as noted below.
Generally the upgrades with fixed cost need to be bought with the same level of Craftsmanship as is the weapon to
which they are about to be attached. Unless this is followed the weapon loses benefits from being of better
Craftsmanship than the attached upgrade. For weapons that have bonuses from better Craftsmanship already
applied to them there is no option to attach upgrade of lower Craftsmanship.
Name Weight Cost Quality modified cost Availability
Bipods +2 kg 25 No Average
Chain Attachment +2.5kg 100 Yes Scarce
Combi-Weapon — ×2.5 No Scarce

BIPOD
These attachments are for weapon with high recoil using integral ammunition canisters rather than a backpack
mounted source (such as plasma guns or meltaguns). Resting the weapon on the ground decreases effects of recoil
but sacrifices mobility, thus making them more common in static defence lines. Bipods allow weapon to be braced
anywhere there is a reasonably flat surface. A weapon braced on a bipod has a 90-degree fire arc.
Upgrades: Any non-primitive Basic weapon without backpack ammunition.

CHAIN ATTACHMENT
Many Imperial Guard regiments are trained to affix their standard issue combat knives to their lasguns as
bayonets.
Some veteran formations and particularly well-equipped regiments are able to mount chain-blades on their
primary weapon, allowing them to be used in close combat with nearly the effectiveness of a chainsword, without
requiring the user to switch weapons. This extra moment can make all the difference in desperate close-quarters
combat. A weapon with a chain attachment can be used in close combat with the following profile.
Name Class Range Dam Pen Special

Chain Attachment Melee — 1d10+SB R 2 Tearing, Proven(3)

Upgrades: Any non-primitive Basic weapon.

COMBI-WEAPONS
Master Armourers of the Commercia Houses can combine two weapons into single deadly instrument, yielding
custom combinations for any situation of combat style. Though expensive and very difficult to obtain, these finely
crafted works often become heirlooms. Any Basic weapon can have a second Basic-class weapon added to its
frame to create a combi-weapon. The firer may choose to attack with either weapon, but not both. All the
secondary weapon’s characteristics remain the same except for ammunition, which is quarter the listed value
(rounded up), and cost, which is doubled.
Upgrades: Any two Basic weapons without Primitive quality.

152
COMPACT
Compact weapons are smaller versions of pistol and basic weapons that are favoured by those that prefer
concealment over stopping power. This upgrade cannot be applied to an existing weapon but instead must be
obtained along a new weapon. This upgrade halves the weight of the weapon but also halves its clip size and range
as well as reducing its Damage by 1. Any Good or Best craftsmanship pistol can be obtained as already compacted
by applying cost modifier for craftsmanship to the cost of Compact upgrade too. Good and Best Craftsmanship
Compact pistols have Concealable quality.
Compact shotguns receive additional +10 to hit from their Scatter quality and the spread arc is wide like with flame
weapons and they cause one additional hit to a random victim other than the original target.
Upgrades: Any Pistol or Basic Las, Solid Projectile, Flame, Bolt or Plasma weapon.

DUPLUS AMMO CLIPS

Double-ended ammunition clips designed to shorten reloading time. Users simply flip the clip over when one side
is exhausted. The clip is effectively two clips attached to each other and requires two clips worth of ammo to fill. A
weapon with these special clips reduces their loading time by half (Rounding up. Thus a weapon that takes two Full
Actions to reload becomes a single Full Action, but with a weapon that takes Half Action to reload remains a Half
Action). Normally only utilised by officers—troopers finding tape just as effective to holding to clips together, and a
lot cheaper, but this is usually unapproved by officers and maintenance personnel.
Upgrades: Any Basic, Pistol, Solid Projectile or Las weapon with a removable clip.

EXTERMINATOR
Many of the more zealous religious warriors of the Imperium use an exterminator cartridge on their regular
weapons. This small device contains a small one-shot flamer weapon that shoots out a sheet of fire. Rather than
firing the weapon as normal, the shooter may use the exterminator cartridge, working out the effects as if he was
armed with a flamer.
You may attach an Exterminator to any weapon that rolls a d10 or more for damage. You cannot attach an
Exterminator to a weapon with the Flexible quality. A Balanced weapon that has an Exterminator attached is no
longer considered Balanced and any weapons without Balanced quality gain Unbalanced quality. Pistols with
exterminator will always gain Slow quality.
Exterminators are one-shot weapons and must be replaced once used.
Upgrades: Any weapon.

EXTRA GRIP
This upgrade adds additional grips to the weapon that allow having it ready all the time. When a weapon with
extra grip is used with two hands it has Agile quality and using Full Action to Aim also Braces the weapon. This
upgrade cannot be applied to weapons with Unbalanced or Slow quality.
Upgrades: Any Pistol or compact Basic ranged weapon.

FIRE SELECTOR
For weapons that can use differing ammunition rounds, a shot selector can be fitted for ease of switching from one
type to another. A weapon with a fire selector can have up to three different types of ammo in its clip. At the start
of the shooter’s Turn, he can use his fire selector as a Free Action to choose which ammo type he wishes to fire
that round.
Good Craftsmanship: Any Good Craftsmanship versions can include possibility of feeding the gun from two
separate clips instead of allowing selection of any single ammo from a clip thus adding +20% to the weight of the
weapon and the weapon gains Unbalanced quality or the weapon may only lose a single ammo when Jam is
cleared.
Best Craftsmanship: Best Craftsmanship versions are similar to Good Craftsmanship versions, but allow a selection
of specific ammo from either of the clips or the weapon does not lose any ammo when clearing Jam.
Upgrades: (Bolt) and (SP) Pistols or (SP) and (Bolt) Basic Weapons without Revolver quality.

153
FOREARM WEAPON MOUNTING
As the name suggests, these heavy gauntlets allow for a single ranged weapon to be mounted along the arm, with
specific hand movement triggering the weapon. This upgrade allows the user to keep both hands free. A weapon in
a forearm mount functions as listed except that its range is reduced by 30% and it cannot be Braced or have any
backpack ammofeed. This weapon also does not benefit from items such as Recoil Gloves.
Good Craftsmanship: The range of the weapon is only reduced by 20% and it may have a backpack ammofeed.
Best Craftsmanship: Weapon may have a backpack ammofeed and choose either:
1. The range of the weapon is only reduced by 10%. The wielder also counts as having Recoil Gloves when firing
this weapon.
2. The mounted weapon may also be a Basic Weapon
Upgrades: Any Primitive, Las, Solid Projectile, Bolt or Melta pistol.

GENE-GRIP BIO-VERATOR
Popular among law enforcement and paranoid gunslingers, these custom grips check the bio-signature of the
wielder every time they are held, ensuring that only authorised personnel can activate the weapon. Bypassing
requires one minute and Difficult(-10) Tech-Use Test.
Poor Craftsmanship: The bypassing requires only two Full Actions and an Ordinary(+10) Tech-Use Test.
Good Craftsmanship: Can only be applied to Good or better craftsmanship weapon. The bypassing requires 30
minutes requires and Hard(-20) Tech-Use Test and Difficult(-10) Security Test.
Best Craftsmanship: Can only be applied to Good or better craftsmanship weapon. The bypassing requires 1 hour
and requires Hard(-20) Tech-Use Test and Hard(-20) Security Test. Also the failure can be set to cause a self-
destruction equal to standard Frag Grenade exploding in 5 seconds after the failure. In such case the weao is
rendered useless.
Effect: Any mechanisms your weapon has (triggers, chain engines, etc.) will not activate for anyone but you.
Upgrades: Any weapon which can exchange some triggering mechanism to electronically controlled.

LATHE BLADE
The astronomical and gravitic alignment of the Lathe worlds creates the conditions for the production of metal
alloys of rare and singular properties. Such a strange metal is used to fashion the legendary Lathe blade. So
phenomenal is their strength and structure that they can have paper thin edges yet be flexible enough for the
blade to resist breaking under the impact of the most powerful blows, and can even be unaffected by the
devastating action of a power field. Some, including Lord Hax himself, favour a Lathe-forged blade over a power
weapon such is their quality and repute.
Effects: A Lathe-bladed weapon loses the Primitive quality and if it has any of Unbalanced, Unarmed, Numbing,
Weak, Wooden or Flimsy qualities, it also loses them. Increase the weapon’s Damage by 2 and its Penetration is
increased by 3, but up to 5. Wielders of these weapons gain a +10 bonus on Weapon Skill Tests. A Lathe blade
cannot be destroyed by the effects of a Power Field and counts as having an Armour value of 20 if directly
attacked. A Lathe blade is automatically of the Best Craftsmanship (the effects of this have already been included
in these rules).
Upgrades: Primitive knives, throwing knives, swords, axes and great weapon variants of these. This upgrade
cannot be combined with the Mono upgrade. This upgrade cannot be applied to an existing weapon.

MELEE ATTACHMENT
Bayonets and other long-bladed combat attachments can be fitted to most ranged weapons, making them more
useful in assaults. A weapon with a melee attachment counts loses its Balanced quality if it had one. Weapon with
melee attachment uses following profile when used in melee:
Name Class Range Dam Pen Special

Melee Attachment Melee† – 1d10+SB P 0 Primitive

†Reguires two hands to use in melee

Upgrades: Any Basic ranged weapons can have melee attachments.

154
MONO
Mono weapons have specially fashioned blades with superfine edges, which can easily cut through armour and
never lose their edge. Mono weapons no longer count as Primitive and add a +2 bonus to their Penetration. The
Mono upgrade cannot be applied to weapon with Power Field quality, since they already have it but it simply does
not have any effect while Power Field is active. If the Power Field is ever lost or deactivated, the Mono upgrade’s
bonuses will then apply.
Upgrades: Any Primitive close combat weapon including melee attachment.

PERCUSSIVE MUZZLE BRAKE

This recoil absorbing muzzle brake helps the wielder keep targets in their sights while firing on full-auto.
Good Craftsmanship: The weapon gains +1 RoF for Full Auto
Best Craftsmanship: The weapon gains +1 RoF for Full Auto and Reduce the Recoil quality to by further one level.
Effect: The weapon reduces Recoil quality by one level.
Upgrades: Any Basic or Heavy Solid Projectile weapon with Recoil quality.

PISTOL GRIP
This upgrade allows the weapon to be wielded in one hand without the usual –20 penalty. However, it becomes
more difficult to aim accurately losing its Accurate quality and its Range is halved. The weapon is however more
easily concealed under some loose clothing and should be considered as a pistol for purposes of concealing
weapons.
Upgrades: Any Basic ranged weapon.

RED-DOT LASER / HOLO SIGHT

This is a laser sight that grants a +10 bonus to Ballistic Skill Tests when the weapon is fired on single shot or on
Semi-Auto Burst at target that is no further than 40m away. This sight does not work in a thick fog or smoke.
Good Craftsmanship: A Red-Dot Laser Sight is also available as a Good Craftsmanship version that emits a dot
visible only for a Holovisor and gives the bonus at ranges up to 60m.
Best Craftsmanship : Best Craftsmanship version has its range further increased to 70 meters and its effect does
not suffer from fog or thick smoke.
Upgrades: Any Pistol or Basic Las, Solid Projectile, Bolt or Plasma weapon. Pistol and Basic Primitive weapons may
have this at GM’s discretion. A red-dot laser sight counts as a sight and a gun may only have one sight.

SANCTIFIED/BLESSED/HOLY WEAPON
The prayers and blessing of those of true faith in the God-Emperor of Mankind, coupled with the ancient lore of
Ecclesiastical alchemistry, is able to turn mere mundane bullets and blades into weapons that are capable of
harming the foul denizens of the warp and other such unnatural horrors. The sole effect of these upgrades is to
make the Damage caused by the weapon in question counted as “Holy”, which has certain effects on some
Daemonic and warp creatures (as will be noted in their description). Obtaining such items is only possible through
the Holy Ordos or high-ranking members of the Ecclesiarchy, and the cost and rarity shown reflects this.
Upgrades: Any Primitive weapon (including Mono upgraded and Lathe weapons, but excluding Force Weapons)
or Chain weapon of at least Good Craftsmanship.

SARISSA
These are heavy spiked blades the Sororitas often attach to their bolters in order to allow them to engage in hand-
to-hand combat without switching weapons. When mounted on a bolter, a sarissa has following profile:
Name Class Range Dam Pen Special

Unbalanced,
Sarissa Melee† – 1d10+1+SB R 2
Impact(Melee)
†Reguires two hands to use in melee

Upgrades: Any bolter.

155
SILENCER
Silencers lower the noise (and flash to a degree) from a weapon’s discharge, preventing detection of the shot.
Awareness Tests to hear shots made with a silenced weapon or detect their muzzle flash suffer an additional –30
penalty.
Good Craftsmanship: There is no muzzle flash at all to be detected. Hearing and can only be attempted at the
distance of 25m or less.
Best Craftsmanship: Hearing and can only be attempted at the distance of 10m or less.
Upgrades: Any Pistol or Basic SP weapon

TARGETER
Expensive, heavy and rarely used except by elite forces, a targeter uses a variety of guidance cogitators and omni-
sights to improve accuracy. These upgrades are normally hard-wired into a specific weapon for maximum
efficiency. Commonly viewed as adding to the weapon’s machine-spirit, they create an even closer bond between
gunner and gun. A targeter grants a +10 bonus on all Ballistic Skill Tests made with the weapon and the wepon
counts as having Precise quality. A targeter also requires that the wielder is connected to the weapon with a Mind
Impulse Unit or similar link for the user to gain any benefits.
Good Craftsmanship: Good Craftsmanship versions can allow pre-programming of targets that cannot be fired
upon thus making intentional misuse impossible unless the user spends 10 minutes and succeeds in a Difficult (-10)
Tech-Use Test, which resets all the programmed targets. This also halves any chance of hitting programmed targets
when firing into a hand-to-ahnd combat.
Best Craftsmanship: Best Craftsmanship versions also provide the user with possibility to add a security key to
prevent any unauthorized use or tampering thus requiring that the any user that does not know the chosen ward
must succeed in a Very Hard (-30) Security Test each time he attempts to do any programming to the targeter or
fire the weapon.
Upgrades: Any weapon with Mind Impulse Unit link.

TELESCOPIC SIGHT
Telescopic sights magnify the target’s image, especially useful for long-range shots that need to hit a very specific
target location. As long as the shooter takes a Full Action to Aim, a weapon with a telescopic sight ignores penalties
for long range and for making called shots and reduces the penalty for extreme range to -10. Also when firing with
a Braced weapon at targets within short or normal range a weapon with telescopic sight gains all the benefits from
Full Action Aim even when taking only a Half-Action to Aim.
Good Craftsmanship: Any Good Craftsmanship versions give the user Dark Sight Trait when Aiming.
Best Craftsmanship: Best Craftsmanship versions also give the user Dark Sight Trait when Aiming and provide the
weapon with additional +10 to Ballistic Skill when the user spends a Full Action to Aiming.
Upgrades: Any Basic Las, Solid Projectile, Bolt or Plasma weapon. Pistol and Basic Primitive weapons may have
this at GM’s discretion. A telescopic sight counts as a sight and a gun may only have one sight.

TRIPOD
These attachments are for heavier weapons using integral ammunition canisters rather than a backpack mounted
source (such as plasma guns or meltaguns). Resting the weapon on the tripod decreases recoil and increases
accuracy but sacrifices mobility, thus making them more common in static defence lines. Tripods allow weapon to
be braced anywhere there is a reasonably flat surface. A weapon braced on a tripod has a 180-degree arc. Bracing
with a tripod requires a Full Action.
When checking for effects of Recoil quality, tripod increases character’s Strength Bonus by 3 instead of usual +2
and while Braced the weapon has Agile quality. Tripods for Basic weapons weight 5kg and for Heavy weapons they
weight 9kg. Heavy weapon tripods also grant the increase to character’s Strength Bonus when using Heavy
weapons mounted on it.
Best Craftsmanship: Best Craftsmanship versions provide the weapons user with Auto-Stabilized Trait when firing
this weapon.
Upgrades: Any non-primitive Basic or Heavy weapon without backpack ammunition. Primitive weapons may use
this at GM’s discretion.

156
TWIN-LINK
A twin-linked weapon is effectively two weapons of the same type positioned next to each other firing in tandem,
therefore increasing the chances that the selected target will be hit. Twin-linked weapons are two ranged weapons
of any type that share the same targeting information and fire actuation link. The majority of twin-linked weapons
are heavy weapons mounted on vehicles.
Twin-Link can be applied to any pair of identical firing weapons of Normal or better Craftsmanship that do not
have Primitive quality. These weapons become a single weapon. Firing with a twin-linked weapon counts as having
fired both weapons at once with same rate of fire. This consumes ammunition equally from both weapons. Due to
increased volume of fire a twin-linked weapon grants a +10 modifier to your Ballistic Skill Test and when rolling to
hit, you only make a single roll but add an extra dice for “tens” and take the better result. If three or more Degrees
of Success are scored, the twin-linked weapon inflicts an additional hit that is an extra hit on top of those the
weapon would otherwise score.
The reload time of a Twin-Linked weapon is doubled.
Unless a Twin-Linked weapon is mounted, it gains Slow quality. Twin-linked weapon loses Agile and Concealable
qualities, if it had any. Twin-linked weapons with Recoil quality add +2 to their Recoil quality and this increased
Recoil is the total recoil for firing the twin-linked weapon.
Upgrades: Any pair of identical shooting weapons without Primitive quality.

157
WEAPON CUSTOMISATIONS
Through training and deployment, a soldier of the Imperial Guard spends virtually every moment with his trusted
weapons within easy reach. Over time, his primary weapon becomes an extension of his body. As each soldier
becomes increasingly familiar with his armaments, he may opt to make minor changes to the weapon. Extensive
changes would invariably violate standard doctrine draw the ire of superior officers. However, most officers
choose to turn a blind eye on minor tweaks of the weapon. In this way, a character may find solutions to offset bad
habit in the way they carry and wieald the weapon, but also adjust it so that they may operate at their peak
efficiency.
Keep in mind that the changes associated with customisation are invariably minor adjustments. To the casual
observer most of these changes are hardly noticeable. It is the very subtlety of these modifications that enable the
Imperial officers to turn a blind eye to the tweaks.
Weapon customisations may only be applied to a piece of equipment that is part of the Standard Regimental Kit or
a favoured weapon of the soldier's Regiment. Guardsmen never have sufficient exposure or training to safely
customise more specialised weapons. Each character may install up to four customisations to any of his Standard
Regimental Kit weapons. Naturally, if the character loses or replaces a customised weapon, he also loses all of his
customisations. A weapon newly issued from the supply depot is delivered in stock conditions.
Standard Regimental Kit Weapons Common Preferred Weapons Regiment
Laspistol Hellgun Karskins, Storm Troopers
Lasgun Hellpistol Karskins, Storm Troopers
Lascarbine Bolter Officers
Autogun Bolt Pistol Officers
Autopistol Chain Sword Officers
Stub Automatic Long Las Scouts, Marksmen
Stub Revolver Hunting Rifle Scouts, Marksmen
Combat Shotgun

OBTAINING WEAPON CUSTOMISATIONS

When creating an imperial guard character the player may choose one customization for the starting weapon of
his character if that weapon is part of the Standard Regimental Kit or a favoured weapon of the soldier's Regiment.
Also each time the imperial guard character spends some down time between adventures he may choose to apply
any of the weapon customizations to one of the weapons he used extensively during last adventure / scenario. The
GM has final say to wether any of the weapons was used extensively enough but as guideline the extensive use
means using the weapon in combat and giving the weapon some significant attention even when not in a combat.

CUSTOMISATIONS

C USTOM G RIP
The weapon’s hilt, under-barrel grip, or handle is modified to better fit the character’s hands. The grip might be
textured, changed in size, or grooves might be added that align perfectly with the character’s fingers. As a
concequence of these changes the character for whom the customisation was performed receives a +5 to Ballistic
Skill or Weapon Skill when wielding the weapon. Any other character wielding the weapon receives a -5 Penalty, as
the weapon feels slightly out of alignment when they attempt to use it.
Applies to: Any weapon.

158
D EACTIVATE S AFETY F EATURES
The weapon has bee modified so that its volatile nature is always at the forefront. A weapon with this modification
is always ready to be fired or wielded in an instant. The weapon gains the Agile quality. However, any time a
character that is carrying a weapon with this modification, suffers four or more Degrees of Failure with any Test
requiring movement of his entire body, this weapon fires, activates, or cuts itself free as a result of jostling.
Applies to: Any weapon.
“D UPLUS ” A MMO C LIPS
Double-ended ammunition clips designed to shorten reloading time. Users simply flip the clip over when one side
is exhausted. The clip is effectively two clips attached to each other with tape or similar measures and requires two
clips worth of ammo to fill. A weapon with these special clips reduces their loading time by half (Rounding up. Thus
a weapon that takes two Full Actions to reload becomes a single Full Action, but with a weapon that takes Half
Action to reload remains a Half Action). Normally this is usually unapproved by officers and maintenance
personnel, but this time the modification has not been sactioned.
Applies to: Any Basic, Pistol, Solid Projectile or Las weapon with a removable clip.
E XTENDED B ARREL
While the Departmento Munitorum issues long-lases and sniper rifles to dedicated snipers, some Guardsmen take
it upon themselves to modify their weapons to better utilise their skill as a marksman. Often, this is most readily
achieved with components from a similar or identical weapon, either scavenged from the field or “borrowed” from
the quartermaster.
A weapon with an extended barrel increases its Range by half and gains Unbalanced quality .
Applies to: Any Las, Solid Projectile, or Bolt weapon.
F LUID A CTION
The weapon's internal mechanisms have been thoroughly lubricated and carefully maintained down to the finest
detail. When the character uses the weapon to fire on Semi-Automatic, he counts as receiving one additional
Degree of Success than actually rolled for purposes of determining the number of rounds that hit the target. Note
that this modifier does not affect whether the initial attack hits the target, only whether additional rounds strike
home. Weapons with this customisation are trickier to load as the ammunition feed must be more carefully
engaged. Reload time is increased by an additional Half Action.
Applies to: Any ranged weapon capable of Semi-Automatic fire.
H OME M ATERIALS
Some of the weapon's components-typically stock, grip, hilt, or shaft-is constructed of materials manufactured or
grown upon his regiment's home planet. This serves as a powerful reminder of the Guardsman's home and a
constant reminder of his duty to serve and protect the Imperium of Man. Characters who wield a weapon that
features this modification receive a +5 bonus to any Fear or Pinning Test.
Applies to: Any weapon.
M ODIFIED S TOCK
When the character holds a weapon with a modified stock up to aim, its contours perfectly align with his shoulder
and cheek. When a character takes an Aim Action with weapons modified in this way, he receives an additional + 2
bonus to his Ballistic Skill on a Half Action Aim or an additional +4 bonus for a Full Action Aim.
This customisation is compatible with any other devices that modify Aim Actions. This customisation is most
commonly applied to the stock of a Basic ranged weapon, but comparable changes may be made to virtually any
weapon.
Applies to: Any weapon.
Q UICK -R ELEASE
The mechanism for removing a magazine is carefully modified so that it may be ejected forcibly and rapidly. As a
consequence of these changes, the weapon's Reload time is reduced by a Half Action, down to a minimum of a
Half Action. For example, a weapon that normally took 2 Full Actions to reload may be reloaded with one Full and
one Half Action. However, any time the character suffers a Jam result, the weapon's magazine also ejects and must
be reloaded.
Applies to: Any ranged weapon.

159
R EDUCED W EIGHT
This customisation involves replacing as many parts of the weapon as possible with alternative components made
of lighter weight materials.Weapons that undergo this customisation decrease their weight by 20%, or a minimum
of a 0.5 kg loss. However, the resulting weapon is substantially more fragile. If it is used in melee--either as
intended or as an improvised weapon- it may crumple under an impact. The weapon gains Flimsy quality.
Applies to: Any weapon.
R EINFORCED
Additional support brackets are affixed to the weapon so that it can better handle the stresses of battlefield abuse.
If the customised arm is a ranged weapon, it receives an additional + 1 bonus to Damage when used as an
improvised weapon. If the base item is a Melee weapon, when parried by a weapon with a power field, its chance
of destruction is reduced to 60%.
In any case, the weapon's weight is increased by 20%.
Applies to: Any weapon.
S ACRED I NSCRIPTIONS
The character inscribes a sacred script from the Imperial Creed upon the weapon. The weapon provides a + 10
bonus to any Pinning Test. Also for the fist time for each encounter the character fired upon with Full Automatic
Fire or Suppression Fire he ignores the first hit.
Applies to: Any weapon.
S AWN -O FF
This modification is always applied to a shotgun. Though this modification results in a slight reduction in range and
power, sawn-off weapons are lighter and more easily manoeuvrable. This makes them desirable for city fighting or
boarding actions, where soldiers must be able to move through narrow doors or other openings, while keeping
their weapon ready. Sawn-off weapons are also easier to conceal, a trait which, while desirable for hive gangers
and other criminals, can also come in handy for a Guardsman attempting to hide his unsanctioned firearm during
inspection.
A sawn-off weapon reduces its range by half and weight by one quarter. Sawn-Off weapons also reduce their
Damage by 2, but increase the benefits of Scatter quality: The Scatter quality now provides +30 to hit and double
the amount of hits against random victims. Also the area of danger is rather conelike just as with Spray weapons.
Applies to: Any shotgun.
T RIGGER A DJUSTMENTS
Through precise adjustments, the weapon is modified so that its trigger pull better fits with the length of the
character's fingers. During the first Round of combat, a character wielding a weapon with this modification
receives a + 1 bonus to Initiative. However, due to the variation, if any other individual uses the weapon, they
suffer a -5 penalty to Ballistic Skill.
Applies to: Any ranged weapon.
