*Black Legionnaire Power ArmorBuilt from the set of Mark VII Power Armor he wore as during his final days as Lahesael, all Imperial iconography was stripped from the armor, replaced with the colors and icons of the Sons of Horus, which themselves were later replaced with that of the Black Legion when reorganized the Sons of Horus shortly after Kilbane's defection. No traces of Kilbane's former self remained on his armor, which he decorated with trophies taken from his most impressive kills. Most notable among these trophies was a holster for Kilbane's Bolt Pistol, carefully stitched out of human (specifically Astartes) skin.
*Unholy Bolter & Bolt PistolMuch like Kilbane's power armor, his Bolter was the very same weapon he carried as the Dark Angel Lahesael. Originally a Mark IIIa Godwyn-pattern Boltgun, any holy Imperial symbols had long since been stripped from the weapon's casing, replaced with the terrible iconography of the Dark Gods. Much the same has been done with his Bolt Pistol, however, this weapon was not originally his, but rather was stripped from the mutilated corpse of a loyalist Space Marine whom was felled by Kilbane's sword.
*Tainted Power Sword & AxeWith the former forged within the darkest, most twisted depths of the Eye of Terror and the latter pried from the cold, dead hands of a Chaos Lord defeated in one-on-one combat, Kilbane's power weapons were fearsome instruments of death infused with the favor of the Dark Gods. Inscribed with unholy icons and blasphemous scripture, these weapons spilt the blood of a thousand of the God-Emperor's mightiest champions.
==Trivia==
*Whether or not Kilbane truly qualifies as a Fallen Angel is a matter of some debate within the inner circle of the . While the fact that he fought on the side of The Lion during the fall of Caliban technically disqualifies him from being a Fallen Angel, the fact that Lahesael specifically connected his turn to Chaos with Luther and the other Fallen Angels complicates the matter significantly.
