[[wikipedia:Sword|Sword]] is a generic name for the basic [[primitive weapon]] taking the form of a hand-blade. ==Description and Variants==It is relatively easy to manufacture and even untrained fighters can use it in battle with some degree of success. Swords can range from mass-produced blades of cheap metal to lightweight high-quality version or even elaborate versions made from [[Tyranid]] talons. However, as with most [[melee weapon]]s, it is the skill of a user rather than the actual weapon that determines the winner of combat. The sword is perhaps the most widely used weapon in the [[Galaxy]] that can be found in the hands of any servant of the [[Imperium]] or follower of [[Chaos]] as well as many [[Xenos]] races.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2}}{{Fn|3}} ===Falchion===Falchions are short, heavy blades that combine the best of a sword and [[axe]] and are ideal for close quarters fighting in boarding partiesor when repelling attackers. Similar to but heavier than acutlass, a falchion offers a more brutal offensive capability as it can hack through tougher materials.{{Fn|4}}
