Skull Mask of Acheron
The Skull Mask of Acheron is a relic war mask of the Astra Militarum.[1]
History
It has an almost totemic quality[2] and has been worn by a succession of Commanders, notably those hailing from the Armageddon Steel Legion. However, the Skull Mask subsumes the identities of those who do so and instead grants them a fell reputation as a Xenos killer.[1]
Canon Conflict
On page 139 of the Codex: Astra Militarum (8th Edition), the Skull Mask of Acheron is described as a relic of the Armageddon Steel Legion[2]. Page 136 of the Codex: Astra Militarum (9th Edition) changes this, so that the Mask is a relic of the Astra Militarum.[1]
