This article is about the the Space Marines close combat weapon. For other uses of Gladius, see Gladius (disambiguation). |
The Gladius is a type of combat knife used by most Space Marines as a basic close combat weapon.[1] They are most frequently used as a sidearm by the Ultramarines Chapter as well as the Adeptus Custodes, Imperial Fists[5] and also the Deathwatch that have its own improved variant of this weapon.[4]
After his recruitment to the Knights-Errant, Tylos Rubio was forced to divest himself of his Ultramarines livery, including his power armour. However, as a concession to his feelings, Nathaniel Garro arranged for him to be given a power sword patterned after a Gladius, reminding Rubio of his former Legion.[2]
