Tainted Weapon
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Tainted Weapons are melee weapons wielded by some followers of Chaos. Many of the twisted blades and sacrificial knives wielded by those who had given themselves over to the worship of the Warp had been tainted by Empyreal forces utterly inimical to life. These whispered foul things into the minds of those who wielded them, driving them to ever greater acts of atrocity in order to feed the terrors beyond.[1]
