Master-crafted weapon

A Master-crafted weapon is used by the Imperial Guard and is so ornate and perfectly designed that it stands out from the other weapons in a regiment and is part of the Imperial Guard Armoury.

Effects and Distribution

Making a weapon master-crafted is to make it increadibly ornate and decorated (1), while also improving its functionality. Any weapon may be master-crafted (2) and due to the improved design of the weapon, it has a higher change of hitting the target (3). A grenade cannot be master-crafted (4).

Examples of Use

Commissar Yarrick's master-crafted Storm Bolter (5) and Ibram Gaunt's master-crafted Power Sword (Sword of Heironymo) (6) are examples of the use of master-crafting.
