Zaghâsh Armoury
Zaghâsh hates Chaos. He was birthed by people predated by Chaos, he was born to a battle with Chaos, and he's been fighting Chaos ever since. Witch, heretic, mutant, or daemon, regardless of the form of the Archenemy's emissary, he hates them, and so do his people. Over time, numerous items have been developed and crafted to better combat the forces of the Ruinous Powers, with new technologies from the minor god alliance and the eldar providing further contributions.
Absortis Crucifix
A cross of blessed iron, forged in the heat released by the burning souls of unrepentant heretics and engraved with proclamations denouncing the unclean. While potent constructs on their own, Absortis Crucifixes do not exist to be bare. A daemon, still living, is bound to the unfinished Crucifix and set to light. Pyromancy is used to peer into its blazing corpus and retrieve a fragment of that daemon's True Name. While the daemon will eventually reform somewhere in the depths of the Warp, it will reform weakened, for its skeleton will remain pinned to its pyre. Arcane glyphs and runes of warding are etched into bones of the skeleton in a powerful latticework of warding that is further empowered by the incorporation of the incomplete daemonym. The final product is a battlefield installation with an area of effect that disrupts the existence of daemonkind at a fundamental level, though their duration of effect is limited and based on the power of the crucified daemon. Absortis Crucifixes come in multiple sizes.
Bell of Martyred Souls
Fashioned after the legendary Bell of Lost Souls on lost Terra, the Bells of Martyred Souls are massive constructs of iron alloy adorned in hexagrammatic wards and inscribed with the names of martyrs who've died protecting Aan. Each world has at least one and the construction of one is when a colony can be considered to be fully mature. Their peals are typically heard only when a great hero from that world is martyred, but sound constantly when the world is under assault and its defenders die in droves holding the line. The deafening sounds of its wails disrupt the concentration of enemy psykers and embolden the mortal souls under the Death God's auspice.
Flaming Weapons
An alternative to chain weapons, flaming weapons utilise promethium not to motivate metal teeth into rapid cyclic movement, but instead to wreath their forms in coats of flame. While their ability to cut into flesh and penetrate armour is inferior, their ability to set fire to the enemy does make up for it.
Incense Munitions
Munitions similar in form to smoke munitions, these grenades and shells are instead filled with sacred incense blessed by priests of Zaghâsh. When detonated, they release billowing clouds of strong-smelling smoke that daemons find repulsive. Though they're more expensive to produce and cover a smaller area than conventional smoke munitions, the slightly loosened grip on reality that daemons have while passing through them is advantageous enough.
Martyrflake Bolts
Bolt shells whose explosive cores are mixed in with the ash and bone flakes of those who've sacrificed themselves to Zaghâsh. Carrying a small fragment of the power of true sacrifice, the explosive charges of these rare shells scour the unholy forms and wretched souls of the tainted.
Necrotek Colossus
Necrotek Colossi are Holy Engines inspired by Aeldari Wraithlords and Space Marine Dreadnoughts, even incorporating some of the technologies of the latter. Like a Space Marine Dreadnought, a Necrotek Colossus holds an extremely heavily-armoured sarcophagus within itself, but unlike a Dreadnought, it is a true sarcophagus. In the sarcophagus is interred the corpse of one of those the Cult of Zaghâsh has canonised. The corpse of this saint anchors the spirit of a Herald of Zaghâsh, infusing the war machine with its mighty power. While potent war engines on their own, they're at their strongest when fighting alongside mortal warriors, for when they die their souls are absorbed by the Herald's lantern, empowering the Holy Engine by their blessed martyrdom.
Skull Staff
Skull Staffs are Force Staffs of the highest quality, bearing numerous purity seals and tipped with the skull of a Saint who was either martyred in battle or else lived a long, dutiful life in service to Zaghâsh before passing on. The forces of the unclean can scarcely withstand the weight of death so pure, and will flinch away from the powers cast through these weapons. Only other Saints of Zaghâsh may wield these focuses.
Soul Blades
Sacrificing souls to Zaghâsh is heretical, but using bodies for fuel is par for the course. The bodies of executed psykers are used to fuel furnaces wherein master craftsmen make the finest melee weapons in Aan, each of which is blessed and anointed by a priest of Zaghâsh. It's said that these swords shear through not only a sinner's flesh, but their soul as well, wracking them with the weight of their apostasy. True or not, the technology and craftsmanship that go into them mark them as powerful weapons regardless of superstition.
Subjugation Chains
Chains constructed of adamantium and unusual, psychoactive metal, every link bearing an arcane rune. Subjugation Chains are tools that channel psychic power to choke out the strength and consciousness of those bound by them, with the strength of their effect determined by the psykers who wield them.
