A Space Marine using a power sword.

Power weapons are a type of advanced hand-to-hand combat weapon taking several forms but utilising the same basic technological principles. When activated the blade of the weapon becomes sheathed in a field of energy which disrupts solid matter, allowing the weapon to easily tear through armour, including even Terminator Armour.

The basic power weapon type (commonly taking the shape of swords and axes) is in use by several races including humans, while specialized types see more exclusive use:

Imperial and Chaos

  • Crozius Arcanum2: A short staff with a power field, used by Space Marine Chaplains as a badge of office and a melee weapon, usually sculpted in the form of an Aquila or some other religious icon.
  • Gauntlets11: A power weapon with a built-in power system, giving the user a huge strength boost.
  • Lightning Claw2: A heavy gauntlet armed with long talons, surrounded by a power field; they are used most commonly and effectively in pairs.
  • Power maul5: Also called a shock maul, a baton used by Adeptus Arbites shock troops; the intensity of the power field can be adjusted, allowing the user to simply knock out a victim, or smash a hole through a wall.
  • Power fist3: A large gauntlet that gloves the user's hand, with a power field that delivers a huge boost to the user's strength, at the cost of speed.
  • Power Lance12: A purpose-built power weapon used by the White Scars Space Marines for use on Space Marine Bikes.
  • Power Blade: A knife or dagger with a built-in power field.
  • Power sword: A sword with a built-in power field.
    • Relic Blade9: A large, two-handed power sword, glaive or axe that were specially crafted (often during the Horus Heresy) to give a strength bonus that, while not as powerful as that of a power fist, allows the user to strike at normal speed.
  • Power axe: An axe with a built-in power field.16
  • Power Scythe: A scythe with a built-in power field.
  • Sollex-Aegis Energy Blade 10: A weapon, the blade of which takes the form of coherent high-energy plasma.
  • Thunder Hammer2: A large, heavy hammer which gives off a huge burst of energy when it impacts.
  • Astartes Executioner Axe14:Are a set of twelve of these large, heavy-bladed two-handed power axes contained in the armouries of Watch Fortress Erioch. Each weapon is of master-crafted quality, and each has a long history of valour in the Jericho Reach. Only those who have earned the trust of the Watch Commander are granted the use of one of these axes to slay the enemies of The Emperor.
  • Astartes Power Falchion14: A heavy power weapon found commonly among those Space Marines of the White Scars aboard Watch Station Erioch. Combining the striking power of a power axe with the versatility of a power sword, it has a broad blade with a single cutting edge that tapers to the hilt and the tip of the blade is heavy and curves up in a sweep.
  • Astartes Power Claymore14: Massive, two-handed swords, nearly as long as an average Space Marine is tall, and are extremely devastating. These weapons are fit more for open field combat and are woefully ineffective in tight quarters.
  • Astartes Power Spear14: A power weapon requires two hands to use and is rarely seen amongst the Space Marines of the Deathwatch. Some Space Marines of the Iron Snakes Chapter have donated these weapons to the armoury of Watch Fortress Erioch.

Ork Powered Weapons

  • Power Klaw4: a huge weapon, considered to be the Ork version of the Power fist, used primarily by Warbosses or Nobz.
