"Five hundred and twelve warriors of the Ork force at Graal IV.
...the so-called Seer Council of Nalathien, numbering five-and-two-score.
...Gaius Beregil, the Screaming Prophet of Falkata.
...Gervhardt of the Seven Sigils, Warlord of the Iron Warriors."
- A selection of the recorded kills of the weapon Red Dawn.[1a]
The Red Dawn is an Astartes Power Axe said to have been the favoured weapon of a long-departed Watch-Captain who hailed from the Angels Encarmine.[1]
It has a long history on the front lines of the Deathwatch’s most perilous missions. Its unique power field maintains a barely perceptible haze over the blade when dormant. When the blade bites flesh or armour, it flares with an incandescent scarlet glow like a newborn star, ripping through the foe with little more resistance than mist.[1]
