'''Hexagrammic Wards''' (also spelled '''Hexagrammatic'''){{Fn|7}} are techno-arcane devices from the [[Dark Age of Technology]], designed to protect against [[Psyker|psychic]] forces.{{Fn|4}}
Hexagrammic Wards are used heavily in facilities regularly dealing with [[psyker]]s or similar [[warp]] interactions, such as [[Astropathic Relay Station]]s.{{Fn|7}} They're also seen throughout [[League of Black Ships|Black Ships]] (alongside [[pentagrammic wards]], a type of ward specially designed to repel [[Daemon]]s and their corruption).{{Fn|4}} These wards are also utilised thoroughly by the [[Grey Knights]] in both their armour and ships.{{Fn|5}}{{Fn|6}} [[Space Marine]] [[Librarian]]s of [[chapter]]s such as the [[Excorcists]] utilise hexagrammatic wards, alongside purifying incense, in their vaults of lore detailing ways to combat the daemonic.{{Fn|8}} These wards are also sometimes worn by [[Inquisitors]] when they know they will encounter [[psykers]].{{Fn|1}} They protect the Inquisitor using powerful charms and canticles of faith to psychically unnerve nearby heretical psykers.{{Fn|2}}
During the [[Indomitus Crusade]], such wards were engraved in blessed silver on the back of relic badges known as [[Aegis Indomitus]].{{Fn|3}}
