Duelling Tulwar
The Duelling Tulwars are special curved blades, and a White Scars ritual weapon, patterned upon the Tulwars used by the Chogorian people, created for dueling and battle alike.
Ritual duels between comrades are common between Chogorian tribesmen, and while the feuds that inspire many such duels are rare amongst the White Scars, the practice of dueling to resolve personal disputes, to hone skills, or even simply for the love of a challenge, remains strong. The White Scars carry these in anticipation of the inevitable close combat that many battles culminate in. The particular shape and balance of these weapons allow them to be wielded swiftly and deftly, moving from defence to attack at lightning speed. They are carried either in addition to, or in lieu of, an Astartes Combat Knife, depending on the individual's preferences.
