Devil's Due
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
The Devil's Due was a weapon wielded by the Night Lords Praetor Nakrid Thole.[1]
The weapon was a short-handled hatchet of black metal with one side sporting a curved moon-shaped blade and the other a long, wickedly hooked spike. In battle its surface was super-heated by a miniature atomantic coil, allowing it to cut through even the thickest armour with ease despite its small size. Nakrid Thole wielded the Devil's Due in his left hand, keeping it hidden from his opponent until the moment of the target's weakness and then striking a fatal blow from surprise.[1]
