Daughters of the Word (wargear)



Hextrix is a busy man, always working to expand the sector's industries, administering the tech-priests, and researching new and wondrous technologies.

Baal-pattern light power armor: STC-compliant power armor. Based on patterns derived from existing Daughter armor, with some modifications by Hextrix since he didn't have access to the actual templates at the time. Produced in some quantity on Argoth. It's named after Tanith-Baal.

Hextrix is working on an Astartes-compatible version of this armor, for when there are no more ancient legacy suits or salvaged armor to go around. Thus far his work hasn't been wholly successful, due to a lack of resources and proper research and production facilities.

Domina-pattern bolt pistol: Pistol version of the Domina-pattern bolter.

Domina-pattern bolter: Thus far, Daughters have used a variety of bolt and (Tau) plasma weapons, but Hextrix is close to mass-producing a new model bolter, the so-called Domina (Lady) pattern. It's based on the same pattern as the not-so-successful Astartes Domo model (it fails reliability testing). About 90% of the parts used are the same and if fires the same ammunition. Which isn't very useful unless everyone uses the same weapon pattern. What is useful, however, is the custom integration with the Baal-pattern PA, which allows the Domina to use sensor data from the suit, increasing accuracy.

Dagon-pattern incinerator: Abortive attempt at combining a standard flamer unit with a toxin dispenser for use against especially hostile bioforms (read: Tyranids). The actual weapon works well enough, but it's finding a toxin that can be combined with the promethium mix that's the problem.

Jericho-pattern fireblade: This is a human-sized battle sword that utilizes Tau tech to generate a plasma beam along the blade's cutting edge. It's no archeotech powersword, but it's a lightweight and effective alternative to chainswords.
