Hexagrammic Wards (also spelled Hexagrammatic)[7] are techno-arcane devices from the Dark Age of Technology, designed to protect against psychic forces.[4]

Hexagrammic Wards are used heavily in facilities regularly dealing with psykers or similar warp interactions, such as Astropathic Relay Stations.[7] They're also seen throughout Black Ships (alongside pentagrammic wards, a type of ward specially designed to repel Daemons and their corruption).[4] These wards are also utilised thoroughly by the Grey Knights in both their armour and ships.[5][6] These wards are also sometimes worn by Inquisitors when they know they will encounter psykers.[1] They protect the Inquisitor using powerful charms and canticles of faith to psychically unnerve nearby heretical psykers.[2]

During the Indomitus Crusade, such wards were engraved in blessed silver on the back of relic badges known as Aegis Indomitus.[3]
