Alpha Legion - Legion Artefacts: Blade of the Hydra - Long ago, this oversized chainsword was for purely ceremonial use. Since the Daemon Prince Gharual of the Nine Sundered Souls was bound inside it, however, the blade has been a fiendish tool of destruction. Those with a will strong enough to control its multiple thirsting mindsets can cause the sawtoothed blade to shimmer into not one, but several swords that gnaw and gnash with an immortal hunger. These extra blades are insubstantial when the wielder wills it, and razor-sharp when the flesh of his enemies is near.Drakescale Plate - A suit of Corvus Alpha Pattern Power Armour forged by an ancient tech-savant of the Dark Mechanicum, this battleplate incorporates the living titanium scales of the mica skydrake. Its pauldrons, vambraces and greaves are so well protected by that elder beast's innate resistance to fire that even a Flamestorm Cannon's channelled inferno splashes harmlessly aside like water from smooth pillars of obsidian.Hydra's Teeth - The Hydra's Teeth are bolt rounds with an ammunition casing that must be kept slick with blood-laced oil lest they detonate prematurely and cause irrevocable damage to the wielder. The legend goes that they are sentient in the manner of Daemon Weapons, and that sorcerous powers have somehow given them a terrible hunger for destruction. Once fired, they seek out fresh victims -- regardless of how well-hidden they may be -- before exploding in a blast of eye-searing, lung-scorching gas that can turn exposed flesh to black sludge.Hydra's Wail - The Hydra's Wail is a sophisticated jamming device corrupted by the energies of the Ruinous Powers. A burst of directed viral scrapcode infiltrates the vox networks and the communications devices of the enemy, rendering strategic planning null and void. Its blasts are limited, so ritualistic offerings are needed after each use to replenish its deadly charge.Icon of Insurrection - This eight-pointed Star of Chaos standard top is no mere symbol, but an ensorcelled, semi-diabolic magnet for Chaotic energies that broadcasts thoughts of anarchy and rebellion into the minds of all who behold it. Honed and perfected by generations of Alpha Legion demagogues and metamentalists, it has become a potent artefact famed throughout the brotherhood of Alpharius, for where the icon is raised, mayhem soon follows. When held aloft amongst a crowd, it can turn malcontents into death squads and mere dabblers and dilletantes in heresy into seething, frenzied maniacs bent on burning the realms of Humanity to ash.Mindveil - Shimmering with illusion, the Mindveil is a long cloak stitched with the interlocking teeth of Dostoy Prime's chameleonic hydrasharks. So potent are the Chaos spells of confusion and dislocation cast upon it that the bearer and his kin are accompanied by incorporeal mirages that mirror their appearance perfectly. Stranger still, at a chanted command in the Dark Tongue, the wearer's true location and that of his doppelganger can switch places, an instant translocation that leaves his enemies gaping in confusion. The death of those fooled is never far away.Shadeblade - This sword is rumoured to be of xenos origin. Within its hilt lies unknown cloaking technology that turns the wielder into naught but shadow when in darkness and low light.Viper's Bite - This ornate boltgun has a wide, serpent-head muzzle and a magazine that never seems to run dry. When it fires, it makes no noise louder than a dry hiss, but a cacophony of screams is never far behind. The projectiles it fires glow with acrid green flame, the energy swathing each bolt so virulent they can sizzle through even the ancient war-plate of Terminator-armoured Veterans.
