Xenos weaponery ?

By janikest, in Dark Heresy

Hi guys,

I, as a psyker, and the tech priest of our group have decided, after reading the Radical's handbook, to take one step further into radicalism.

We intent to find, study, and eventually use (at our own risk) xénos weaponery. I have already quite a few skills in forbidden lore, and tech knowledge, but the quest for these xenos objects and weaponery will prove difficult as we are teaming with an arbitrator who doesn't have a clue of what is going. And doesn't want to know.

Aside from the scarcity of the weapons and the difficulty of keeping all this secret from other members, i didn't find a lot of xenos stuff and weapons in the books i have gathered (i own Rogue Trader, the Core rulebook, the Radical Handbook, and the Inquisitorial handbook). Its almost all about Orc and Eldar weapons, and the few other xenos things are so rare that your chances to find them are close to zero.

Do you know where i can find an extended list of xenos weapons, artistry, and artifacts, so that i can fuel my imagination a little bit more?

There's a deathwatch book that has tau stuff, black crusade has necron tech. No idea where there would be extended lists.

The Creatures Anathema has a few items of Eldar equipment (mainly Shuriken pistols and catapults). You could, in theory use the Deathwatch Mark of the Xenos rulebook, as the profiles for Tau and Ork gear should be interchangeable with Dark Heresy.

Thanks guys. About the shuriken catapult or pistol, yes, the aim is ultimately to be able to use one. Thats the big challenge actually for me as a psyker and the renegade tech priest of my band, slowly turning into a heretek.

Honestly, my character has already a lot of firepower abilities and is well armed, but i still pursue this quest (finding and being able to use xenos weapons) for RP reasons.

For a psyker of my level it is clear, though, that i will have to be very dedicated and patient before i can get one of this Eldar weapon, and more patience before i can use it.

My dream would be ultimately to get an Eldar Hollographic armor (as described in the Radical's handbook, the wearer won't be an easy target as all enemy shots will have a -30 BS malus). Combined with the right psy powers, it will make me a nearly impossible target.

But my GM said that except if i meet a crazy Arlequin willing to give it to me as a Christmas gift (he estimated that i can still do a roll for one chance out of a million), it won't happen :-)
