Sinaean Weapons

The Sinaean Weapons are a collective of close combat weapons wielded by the Warriors of Peace. When the Jade General and the recruits from Han joined the XVIIth Legion, they brought their native culture with them in their preference of power weapons. While the traditional Power Swords, Axes and Mauls continued to see use, several new weapons joined them. The four primary examples were the Twin Tiger Hooks, Thunder Gauntlets, Han Broadsword and Power Staff. Though some within the legion and some outside of it viewed them as having less utility than the Terran power weapons, the Sinaean Weapons continued to be prominent as one of the Warriors' few concessions to tradition over practicality.

Twin Tiger Hooks
The Twin Tiger Hooks are a pair of swords developed to be used together, never as a single sword. While in technical terms it was little different from a power sword, its curved blade was designed to disarm its opponents before delivering the killing blow.

Thunder Gauntlet
The Thunder Gauntlet is a miniaturised version of a power fist, but replacing the fist's power field with a specially-designed electrical arc field. In addition, the slimmed down gauntlet allows for increased dexterity for the wielder, able to dodge the enemy's attacks before jabbing in.

Han Broadsword
The Han Broadsword is a large, two-handed sword that is much heavier than a regular power sword. Designed to cut through even the toughest opponent, the Broadsword combines the striking power of a power axe with the dexterity of a power sword. The downside to this comes in the weight of the weapon, making multiple strikes impossible and forcing the wielder to rely on a single, powerful blow.

Power Staff
The Power Staff is a modified force stave, removing the need for a psyker and equipping a power field. When wielded by a master, the Power Staff is able to deliver multiple rapid blows to an opponent and then serve as a strong defensive weapon to parry returning strikes. The Power Staff is the preferred weapon of the Iron Monks.
