Omnissian Axe
"Though it is far more efficient to eliminate any opposition at range, those struck down with my axe I dispatch in the name of the Omnissiah."

A holy icon of the Cult Mechanicus, the Omnissian Axe or Omnissian Glaive is an Omnissian weapon granted to adepts who have proven their faith in battle[1] or otherwise proven themselves suitably devoted to the Machine God.[2][4]
Overview
These fearsome weapons have no equal amongst power weapons and are only gifted to tech-priests by their superiors. Saw-toothed and marked with sacred equations, they are forged with the finest materials and use secrets of tempering and field generation. To the followers of the Machine God, the bearer of an Omnissian glaive is a most blessed figure, a furious incarnation of the Machine God's power in war.[1]
In form, they typically bear the skull and cog icon of the Adeptus Mechanicus and has an axe-head that is sometimes bladed. While the exact form can vary, they're typically all sheathed in a power field. This makes them exceptionally more dangerous than what might be mistaken for a ceremonial walking staff.[2][4]
