A member of the White Scars Legion's Golden Keshig wielding a Kontos Power Lance.
A Kontos Power Lance is a type of Power Weapon wielded by the warriors who served among the ancient White Scars Legion's elite heavy assault Jetbike squads known as the Golden Keshig.
The Kontos Power Lance was used by the Golden Keshig to unleash what the Legionaries of Chogoris called a Zao, a piercing attack at the heart of the enemy adapted from the horse-tribes of Jaghatai Khan's homeworld.
The Golden Keshig encircled the enemy at apparently random speeds and directions before focusing momentum into a single strike through the centre of an enemy formation.
Strikes such as these typically served to disrupt the front line of an enemy's advance and sowed confusion throughout the ranks.
