Mind-Blade symbol^[3]

The Mind-Blade was a Blackshields warband during the Horus Heresy. The warband wore purple-golden armour with obscure and aetherical signs and markings. Notably, one of the Mind-Blade's heraldic symbols^[1] was an adapted version of the Aeldari rune "Cursing Eye", referencing the omniscient abilities of Asuryan who could kill enemies in a single instant.^[2] At least one member of the warband, Kitur Neferis, fought to defend the rights of psykers.^[3][4]
