Command Baton
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
A Command Baton is a type of Imperial Shock Weapon. Sometimes wielded by officers as a display of authority, the command baton also serves as both a tool of discipline and a battlefield weapon. The head of a command baton is decorative and often ornate, with skulls, aquilas, or the winged skull of the Imperial Guard’s popular iconography. With the press of a rune, this decorative headpiece is charged with crackling energy, delivering punishing shocks to the enemies of the Emperor, or insubordinate Guardsmen.[1]
