Scornspitter was a handheld firearm wielded by Leman Russ during the Horus Heresy.^[1]

The weapon was once a simple Legionary Bolter until the Primarch Vulkan reworked it to form an outsized but perfectly balanced pistol suitable for the hand of the Wolf King. Though Russ and his Legion often stood apart from their fellows during the Great Crusade, this gift was one of honour, given after the two Primarchs' legions fought the bitter campaign at San Katos together, and Russ held it and its giver in high regard.^[3]

Though forgeworld and the Horus Heresy game has described Scornspitter as a Combi-Bolter, it has also been portrayed by joytoy as as a revolver weapon, not dissimilar to the Bolt Revolvers of the Kin.^[4]
