**The [[Blessed Weapon|Axe of Chalcydon]]: Borne by [[List of Imperial Saints|Saint Jason]] during his crusade against the Eldar on [[Huale]].

**The [[Sword of Heironymo]]: An exceptionally strong [[power sword]], and an heirloom of the city of [[Vervunhive]] on [[Verghast]]. It is said that whoever leads Vervunhive's forces in battle must wield this weapon. After the death of most of Vervunhive's leadership - military and administrative - during [[Asphodel|Heritor Asphodel]]'s invasion in 769.[[M41]], the sword was given to Colonel-Commissar [[Ibram Gaunt]], the senior Imperial commander in Vervunhive (all of the others either dead or imprisoned). The sword remained in Gaunt's possession after the battle, gifted to him for his actions in the defence of Vervunhive during the Heritor's siege. A deadly weapon, it rarely leaves Gaunt's side{{Fn|19}}.

**[[Liberatus]]: a powered sabre gifted to [[Warmaster]] [[Slaydo]] by the [[High Lords of Terra]], at the outset of the [[Sabbat Worlds Crusade]].

**The [[Fist of Dorn]]{{Fn|11}}{{Fn|10}}: A [[master crafted]] [[Thunder Hammer]] with a fist shaped between the hammer and blade. It is a relic of the [[Imperial Fist]]s Chapter, currently carried by [[Space Marine Captain|First Company Captain]] [[Darnath Lysander]].
