===Hellsword=== <div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:800px"> Fluff: <div class="mw-collapsible-content"> Initial attempts by the Adepta Sororitas to request an 'Ecclesiarchical Baneblade' were met with some derision by the forgemasters of Mars, but direct intervention by the Ecclesiarch led to the production of a half-dozen prototypes. The Sororitas specifcally requested an emphasis on flame weaponry, which was easily accomplished, but also a hull integrating a vast quantity of holy symbols and sacred Imperial Cult anointings, much to the irritation of the Magii charged with construction. Every single component of the Hellsword, down to each individual bolt and rivet, is consecrated by an Ecclesiarchal Cardinal, and their hulls are filled with dozens of small devotional shrines and sacred icons. The first six Hellswords were deployed to the various Orders stationed around the Eye of Terror, and almost immediately became the stuff of legend. Frequently painted with devotional images by local artists, their ornately decorated hulls were symbols of Imperial might, so holy that their mere presence on a battlefield was enough to banish lesser daemons. The titanic flames of their Inferno guns, passing through barrels deeply carved with hexagrammatic patterns, became instantly recognizable wherever the Sororitas deployed. The unquestioned success of the Hellsword made its way back to Mars, where production resumed on the series- that said, however, there are still relatively few Hellswords available in the Imperium. Few Sororitas minor orders have the resources to maintain and field more than one while major orders do not like to risk them in all but the direst battles, and new construction is slow due to the necessity of individually blessing each part. </div> </div> May be taken as a Lords of War choice for an Astra Militarum, Grand Convocation, Castellans of the Imperium or Sisters of Battle army or as part of the Super-Heavy Support Element or 'Emperor's Fury' Super-Heavy Company formations.
