Memor Nihilis is a two-handed variant of the Astartes chainsword (similar in appearance to an eviscerator), used by the Flesh Tearers Chapter. It is intricately worked, with each tooth of the blade inscribed to a level of detail few artisans could manage. This ornate work was done by the hand of a Sanguinary Priest, to commemorate the loss of the Chapter's warriors claimed by the Black Rage. Barely visible script details the history and heraldry of dozens of warriors along the length of the blade, ever reminding its wielder of the peril of losing control. [1]
