The mysterious artefact that O’Shovah took up on Arthas Moloch is even older than the Imperium of Man. Fashioned aeons ago by the strange race that once inhabited that haunted world, the Dawn Blade has been forged from materials that even the finest of Earth caste minds cannot fathom. Its blade is sharp enough to cut through rock, and since taking it up on Arthas Moloch, and modifying it for use in battle, it has been O’Shovah’s weapon of choice for close engagements. Unbeknownst to Farsight, the ancient sword has a dark secret. Its blade is made from chronophagic alloys – whenever its wielder cuts a life short with it, the natural span that he stole from his victim is added to the wielder’s own. This has allowed O’Shovah to live for almost three centuries. Though he has his suspicions that it is the Dawn Blade that has prolonged his lifespan to such a degree, if Farsight ever found out the horrible truth, he would likely end his own life in ritual suicide then and there.

Uhh... dividing by zero, anyone...?

???

If the Dawnblade leeches the life of whoever it kills and gives it to the wielder, what would happen if Farsight killed himself with the blade?

**TiamatRoar**

Well, the lifedrain would cancel out the life damage, leaving nothing to cancel out the huge gash in Farside's stomach (assuming normal sukkupu suicide methods), relegating the dawn blade to the same effect a normal sword would have in that case, I think.

I don't think he would kill himself with the dawn blade considering it's as tall as him.

wasn't there some old fluff about how the Ork Nobz on Octarius were the size of automobiles?

Yeah, the fluff basically said orks kept getting bigger, stronger, and meaner, while nids adapt new biomorphs as quickly, making a terrifying stale mate

**rowenstin**

The orks' strenghts are their resilience, ability to spawn anywhere and innate understanding of technology, all of which is codified on their DNA. I wonder why we don't have yet green tyranid warriors that grow under rocks and build battlewagons, instead of a stupid biovore.

**Harriticus**

Orks are the primary enemies of Orks, if we're talking about statistics of who's killing the most.

Huge parts of the galaxy are totally uncharted or untouched by any other race and only consist of countless worlds where Orks are rampaging around massacring each other.
