Genestealer Cult - Sacred Relics of the Cults: The strange artefacts held sacred by the Genestealer Cults all have some measure of alien power imbued in them by the gestalt Broodmind of their bearers. Some are grown from a combination of psychic ability and the grisly slop of the Genestealer Patriarch's genesis pool, whilst others are fashioned as holy relics by the adoring throng and handed down through the generations. Only one of each of the following relics is usually found among a single cult.Icon of the Cult Ascendant - The sight of this sacred icon can drive all members of the cult into a furious charge against the unbelievers. Cast in blood-blessed platinum, its wyrm-forms polished to a high sheen, the Icon of the Cult Ascendant has been bathed in the psychic energies of the Broodmind. The relic adorned the back of the Great Patriarch's throne for many centuries, soaking up his sheer otherness until it imbued every mote of metal and scrap of oiled cloth. As the time of war comes to pass, the icon is detached from its resting place with the greatest of care and given to the cult's foremost Acolyte Iconward. Those who fight in its shadow find the psychic power of the Broodmind thrilling through their veins.Dagger of Swift Sacrifice - Those who work to hinder or reveal the cult are killed in long and painful ritual sacrifices to better appease the Genestealer Patriarch, often using a weaponised form of the cult's symbol. The Dagger of Swift Sacrifice was devised not for a protracted kill, however, but a near-instantaneous one, the toxin-crystals upon its blade potent enough to kill even the xenos known as a Clawed Fiend with a single scratch. Rumnour has it that this wicked blade was once the ritual sidearm of a particularly sadistic planetary governor known only as the Tyrant. It was a Sanctus who stole into the Tyrant's chambers and spirited the man's dagger away into the hive-depths, there to be augmented into a weapon of unparalleled lethality. Only then did the Sanctus return the blade to its owner, sheathing it in his oppressor's heart.Scourge of Distant Stars - The Brotherhood of Distant Stars whispers of the Scourge -- a voidcold sentience that moves from weapon to weapon, aiding the wielder as he lays low the fool and the unbeliever. Whether it inhabits the blade of an Acolyte Iconward or the Bonesword of a Primus is of little import -- whosoever threatens the wielder will find their life sapping from a mortal wound as soon as they raise their blade.Staff of the Subterran Master - Capped by a sculpture of a Tyranid god-form, the Staff of the Subterran Master resonates with animalistic power. Its strange psychic allure gives the wielder the ability to cause the very vermin of the land to rise up -- poisonous worms, biting spiders, milliasaurs and plague rats boil from cracks in the ground to assail the enemy even as the cult streams through the streets.Sword of the Void's Eye - The sentience within the Bonesword known as the Sword of the Void's Eye is far more intelligent than its wielder, for contained within it is a synaptic node of the Hive Mind. The bio-fleet descending upon the host planet uses the eyes of the sword to spy on the populace and sample the thoughts of those whose blood it tastes. When laid at rest it will slither out a thin tongue that curls and twists in the dust, analysing the dead skin cells of the populace and gleaning vital bio-secrets for the Tyranid invasion to come. With every fragment of knowledge gleaned, the weapon understands its prey all the better. Soon it knows just how and where to strike so as to lay its quarry low and guides its wielder's hand accordingly.The Crouchling - The most favoured of cults by the Hive Mind are visited by the Crouchling, a skittering Genestealer Familiar that talks in a high, reedy voice. Though small and weak of limb, the Crouchling is a powerful psychic presence, able to cast hypnotic spells and visit mind-wracking hallucinations upon those who earn its master's ire.Oppressor's Bane - The masterwork automatic pistol known in the cult's folklore as Oppressor's Bane has been machined to superhuman tolerances, fashioned with expert, inhuman care by the finest of artisans. It is so well weighted it can be spun on the finger in a blur between each killing shot, drawn in an instant and lined up along perfectly crafted gunsights to pick out enemy leaders even amongst a milling throng. It fires bullets of a depleted transuranium element that can punch a hole through an armoured car to kill the hated tyrant riding within.Amulet of the Voidwyrm - This crescent-like wyrm-form amulet writhes with psychic power, so much so that in the fog of war it seems to have tendrils of darkness coiling around it. It is rumoured to have been carved from a shard of the exoskeleton of a Norn-Queen. When the bearer is in peril, they subconsciously channel the Tyranid Hive Mind's Shadow in the Warp through the amulet, blotting them from the minds of the enemy at a critical moment.The Gift from Beyond - This long-barrelled rifle is painted with the blood of the Genestealer Patriarch, freely given and potent enough to bless its wielder with uncanny predatory instincts. The gift it bestows upon those under its sights is the blessing of a swift death delivered from afar.Sword of the Four-armed Emperor - This peculiar sword in the possession of the Cult of the Four-Armed Emperor has not one blade, but four bound as one -- when its handle is given a sharp twist, the blade splits and splits again until it resembles a sheaf of gleaming tentacles or a striking hydra more than it does a conventional blade. It symbolises the cult's ability to shroud itself in normality until the time comes to reveal the hideous and lethal truth.Vockor's Talisman - This talisman drives the wielder to acts of great bloodshed. It is said to contain the departed spirit of Vockor Mai, known as the White Creeper, the scourge of New Gidlam's aristocracy. When Vockor Mai's charismatic allure proved ineffective against the hivelord Thorne due to a protective artefact, Mai crept into the man's bathhouse and slashed his throat with the razored edge of this metallic wyrm-form. In the legends of the Hivecult, the talisman harbours some of that malevolent and murderous intent to this day, and glows hot in the presence of those who have earned the cult's ire, allowing its wielder to strike in melee combat with unusual potency and accuracy.Mark of the Clawed Omnissiah - This custom electoo of the Bladed Cog, worn just under the skin of the chest, looks somewhat like a many-clawed incarnation of the Omnissiah. It fizzes with potent bio-electricity, lending its wearer a permanent rictus grin and an aura of static energy that crackles around them. The electoo generates a potent force field that can turn aside even a pinpoint shot from a Lascannon. In times of great physical exertion it can release a burst of power so intense it fries the synapses of those who get too close to the wielder.Metallophagic Stave - This rust-clad staff of office for a Magus of the Rusted Claw leaves trails of metallic flakes as it is swept through the air, though it never breaks or loses its structural integrity. War machines touched by the stave are beset by a plague of corrosion; in a matter of solar seconds they rust away as if left for Terran years to the mercy of the elements.Reliquary of Saint Tenndarc - The sacred remains of Saint Tenndarc are of vast spiritual importance to the Pauper Princes. It is said that Tenndarc, a Magus of the first gene-sect of the Pauper Princes, dove in front of his Patriarch to save him from a sniper's bullet. He died in the process, but that act of martyrdom has echoed through the cult ever since, inspiring the wider flock to acts of great self-sacrifice and dogged perseverance even when the worst of fates befalls them.Elixir of the Prime Specimen - The constant, methodical experimentation of the Twisted Helix has led to a great many claims of the perfect bioform's creation. The finest bio-alchemical concoction to come from the distilleries of Vejovium III contains the rendered-down essence of the Great Spined Beast, manufactured from the corpse of a captured Tyranid wrecker organism that the cult gave much to acquire. Those who imbibe the resultant elixir swell with physical power, their muscle mass increasing to surreal levels even as their minds fill with bloodlust, transforming them into a powerful hybrid warrior form.Voice of the Liberator - A sign of great favour from the Star Children, this slick oesophageal worm slithers between a Clamavus' straining jaws before settling in the gullet and digging its cilia deep. From that moment onwards, though wracked with constant suffocating agony, the Clamavus finds their voice amplified and adapted, filtering up through the worm's vibrating membranes to emerge as the primal cry of the Star Children themselves.Cranial Inlay - Employing technological secrets stolen from the innermost sanctums of the Adeptus Mechanicus, this heretical device establishes a semi-sentient mind interface uplink between the Nexos and its strategium dais. The resultant instant exchange of strategic intelligence elevates the Nexos' comprehension of the warscape to almost omniscient levels, though typically at the cost of burning out their mind altogether within a matter of solar weeks. Of course, that is more than long enough for ascension -- and the arrival of a Tyranid hive fleet -- to be achieved.Unwilling Orb - Preserved within this gem by ghoulish alchemy is the still-living third eye of an Imperial Navigator. What folk hero of the cults tore this fleshy orb from its owner's skull is not recorded, but it serves to greatly focus and project the synaptic powers of cult psykers.Wyrmtooth Rounds - The ballistic parasite that produces these strange rounds is a ghastly thing. Its exterior sheath is brushed durasteel, but its interior is a pulsating mass of wet meat and organs. Meshed with the mechanisms of its host Autogun, it somehow exudes diamond-hard, chitinous projectiles that can punch through dense armour before bursting in sprays of concentrated bio-acid. These rounds are only used by Kelermorphs.Hand of Aberrance - Fashioned by the bio-conclaves of the Cult Hypodermoid, this injector claw sends powerful mutagens coursing through its victims. Their bones stretch and shatter, their muscles atrophy or swell until they burst, while their flesh blooms with nests of lashing pseudopods -- or else tears apart as it undergoes involuntary mitosis and seeks to squirm away.Elixir of Dark Vistas - Precisely what otherworldly emissary of the darkest void gave its vital fluids for the distillation of this potion must remain a  mystery. Yet the one who drinks it is offered glimpses of the strange and sanity-blasting gulfs across which that creature travelled and fought, and emerges blessed with dark new wisdom.Pervasion Veil - The Pervasion Veil is, at first glance, merely a tattered cloak that even the most destitute vagrant might cast aside as worthless. Yet one who dons it seems to fade somehow into the shadows, their image flickering half-seen in every dark corner, there in peripheral sight then gone as quickly as it was glimpsed.Stratodais - No one knows whether to believe the rumours that this hololithic strategium dais once sat in the command centre of Lord Solar Macharius himself -- yet its cogitational capacity is undeniable. If such rumours are true, then some agent of the cults managed an audacious theft indeed! It is only usable by a Nexos.Penant of Ascension - Stitched together from the tattered remains of enemy banners, then dyed and daubed over with cult sigils, this banner stands as testament to the fervour and savage conquests of the cult. It is only usable by an Acolyte Iconward.Crown of Ascendancy - This chitinous lattice contains material chipped from more than two-dozen Genestealer Patriarchs' thrones. It amplifies its wearer's synaptic powers to near-apocalyptic levels, and renders their spirit as a dark and roiling thunderhead that presses on the minds of all around them. It is usbale only by another Patriarch and greatly enhances their psychic potency as the heart of their cult's Broodmind.
