The Blade

The Blade gains the +1 To Hit bonus provided by the Deathwing Unit Sub-type.

A model attacking with this weapon never receives +1 Attack for fighting with two Melee weapons (see page 177).

Weapons with the Master-crafted special rule allow the bearer to re-roll one failed roll To Hit per turn with that weapon.

When fighting in a Challenge, the user of this weapon gains a bonus to their Initiative value equal to the value in brackets after the rule when making attacks with this weapon. If there is no value in brackets after a given instance of this special rule, then assume the value is 1 (thus adding +1 Initiative to that model).

Attacks with this special rule cause Instant Death on a To Wound roll equal to the number in brackets associated with the specific rule. Roll any viable Saves against this Instant Death-causing Wound separately and before any other Wounds the attack inflicts.
