Barbaran Thurible

Chaos Portal
Death Guard

The Barbaran Thurible was a relic of the Dark Age of Technology, discovered during the time of the Great Crusade.^[1a]

The Thurible takes the form of a heavy iron haft, from the top of which hangs on a chain a large perforated metal sphere. The sphere contains a complex atmospheric filtration and extraction mechanism that draws even microscopically small quantities of toxic elements from the atmosphere. These concentrated elements are then projected in a wide area about the bearer, slaying any one not suitably protected in a hideous, painful and lingering manner.^[1b]
