A Sacris Claymore
A Sacris Claymore is a large version of the traditional weapon favoured by the feral barbarian clans of the Feral World of Sacris in the Calixis Sector. These prodigious, two-handed greatswords are used exclusively by the battle-brothers of the Storm Wardens Chapter and many have been transformed into Power Swords through the skilled artifice of the Chapter's Techmarines.

The feral clansmen of Sacris are raised with giant claymores in their hands. After a warrior's transfiguration into a transhuman Space Marine is complete, the sword of his youth is a light and simple thing, but the Storm Wardens have made a habit of forging improved versions of these primitive weapons of size and materials befitting a member of the Adeptus Astartes.
It is far from unheard of for an enraged Storm Warden to favour his simple claymore over a true Power Sword, particularly when matters of honour are at stake. An unpowered Sacris Claymore replaces the Astartes Combat Knife, and requires two hands to wield.
