Editing Basic Close Combat Weapons (section)

===[[Sword]]===
[[File:Rb1-80-sword.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Sword]]
The basic non-powered sword found on every single planet in the galaxy. It is relatively easy to manufacture and even untrained fighters can use it in battle with some degree of success. Swords can range from mass-produced blades of cheap metal to lightweight high-quality version or [[Heresy|even elaborate versions made from]] [[Tyranid Bio-Weapons|Tyranid talons.]] As expected, designs tend to vary when it comes to swords; from the usual feudal-style knightly swords to fancy officer's sabres you'd most likely see in the hands of a commissar or sergeant (if a [[Chainsword]] isn't available).

However, as with most melee weapons, it is the skill of a user rather than the actual weapon that determines the winner of combat. The sword is perhaps the most widely used weapon in the Galaxy that can be found in the hands of any servant of the Imperium or follower of Chaos as well as many Xenos races.
