Magic Weapon

These two swords are also called the King's Twins. They were forged for the daughters of King Orion, who were more attracted to the warrior arts than to the traditional occupations of Elven women. These swords were given to them for their sixteenth birthday and for years they fought together, mainly opposing the incursions of Greenskins into the forests of Loren. But one of them was killed during a skirmish and her sister, unable to live without the one who had always accompanied her, threw herself from the top of a cliff a few days later. King Orion kept the swords of his daughters by promising to bequeath them to a deserving warrior. The spirit of the twins still seems to inhabit the swords, refining the fencing skills of the one who wields them.

Two hand weapons. Orion's Swords adds +2 Weapon Skill and Strength to the wielder. In addition, Aethis can choose to reduce the number of Attacks of one enemy model in base contact of his choosing by 1 at the start of each close combat phase. However, if he does so, he will only gain +1 Weapon Skill and Strength that close combat phase.
