An Omnisian axe wielded by the faithful of the Machine God who have earned the right to wield it through their prowess in combat.
An Omnisian axe or Omnisian glaive (also spelled "Omnissian") is a power weapon, usually in the form of an axe or polearm, employed by the servants and close allies of the Adeptus Mechanicus. A holy icon of the Cult Mechanicus, the Omnisian axe or glaive is granted to Tech-priests and Techmarines who have shown their faith to the Machine God in battle. No common weapon, it is forged with the finest materials, using the secrets of tempering and power field generation.
These fearsome weapons have no equal amongst other power weapons. Saw-toothed and marked with sacred equations, to the followers of the Machine God, the bearer of an Omnisian glaive is a most blessed figure, a furious incarnation of the Machine God's power in war.
The bearer of an Omnisian axe is always greeted favourably by other followers of the Machine God.
The Omnisian glaive also functions as a multi-tool. An Omnisian axe may never be bought or deliberately obtained -- it is gifted only to Tech-priests and Techmarines by their superiors.
