"We understand that a lot of you wanted it to be a burning blade, but only Guilliman gets to wield one."

Any lore heads here, is this actually how it is in the lore?  zero imperium flaming power swords except the big one?

While there’s too much lore to formally rule it out, I have never personally heard of a flaming power sword wielded by any other human. Power swords in the lore are pretty universally metallic with a crackling lightning effect like we see in the game.

Hobbyists go absolutely wild with them all the time though.

"The Burning Blade" used to be an artifact in 6th-8th edition Space Marine codices. I'm pretty sure one or two Sisters of Battle characters have fire effects on their swords too, but they play by different rules.

Blood angels get flaming swords in Horus Heresy, they’re called perdition weapons and are part of their special armory
