(WIP) The Dancing Blades are an obscure [[Aspect Warrior|Aspect Temple]] that was first founded on the [[Craftworld]] of Khunandra by one of [[Asurmen]]'s disciples, Sabresh. These agile warriors bring destruction to the battlefield through the fast and precise blows of their special mono-molecular blades. These peculiar weapons owe their name to the innatural process by which they are forged, a process so complicated that the mon-keigh are still trying to reproduce. The result is a blade so thin that the tip is composed of just one molecule and it's more than capable of penetrating flesh and armor alike. But that's not their only means of defense (and attack). Around an unit of Dancing Blades orbits a cloud of wraithbone shards that, thanks to the link between the warriors, can launch itself to the enemy, cutting soldiers in half or blowing holes into tanks. The more trained mind of an [[Exarch]] is able of directing it with more precision while a powerful psyker could easly reconfigure it to function as a shield fully capable of blocking enemy shots as well as intense beams of energy. ==Lore== ===Fundation=== ====Sabresh, Phoenix Lord of the Dancing Blades==== ===The Waaagh Incursion=== ==Fan-made Rules== ===8th Edition=== ====Dancing Blades==== This unit contains 5 Dancing Blades ('''Power Rating 4''').
