Burning Blade
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
The Burning Blade is a Space Marine relic.[1]
This ancient sword is so large that only a Space Marine can lift it, and it was recovered from the wreckage of Horus' Battle Barge Vengeful Spirit. It is the only artefact recovered from his chamber that was not crawling with Chaos taint. Some artificers have suspected that it was wielded by the Emperor himself, and that it is the Master of Mankind's greatness that radiates from the weapon. Regardless, in the heat of battle the sword blazes so bright that it can melt even ceramite armour of the Battle-Brother who wields it. Nonetheless, the sacred artefact still sees regular use.[1]
