Dark Angels Devastator Sergeant with a Signum on his backpack[5]

The Signum is a special communication device which allows the user to access a myriad of useful battlefield targeting data and pass that information on to their companions, allowing for more accurate and coordinated fire.[1][2][3][4] Signums are available to members of a Deathwatch Kill-Team[1] as well as normal Adeptus Astartes Techmarines[2], Devastator Sergeants[5] and Techpriest Enginseers of the Imperial Guard.[4] While useful on its own, pairing a signum with the interconnected autosenses of a squad of Space Marines allows them to strike their foe with deadly and inescapable coordinated precision.[1]
