Draigo wielding the Titansword

The Titansword is a legendary weapon used by the Grey Knights Supreme Grand Master (currently Kaldor Draigo). Perhaps the mightiest blade ever carried by a Grey Knight, this sword is anathema to Daemonkind. The weapon is said to have been forged by the Emperor Himself as a gift to a human commander during the Unification Wars and taught him how to use his psychic gifts to unlock its power. The sword must be re-synced to each new wielder before it can be used, and was gifted to the first Supreme Grand Master, Janus, by Malcador, at which point it was given its current name of The Titansword.[1]

Canon Conflict

In the 5th Edition Codex, Draigo is said to have had his Nemesis Force Sword broken during the battle against M'kar the Reborn, and later reforged it using a purified axe of a Bloodthirster he defeats in the Warp, logically turning it into the Daemon-slaying beast of a blade it is in that Codex.[2]

This directly conflicts with the origin of the blade as per the latest Codex, so logically, like many other things, this element of Draigo and the sword have been retconned.
