Daemon Weapons are gifts of the Chaos Gods, unearthed by particluarly choice champions of Chaos.  The Daemons are imprisoned in the weapon, but have a very powerful, persuasive, and sometimes detrimental effect to their holder if the wielder cannot firmly establish his mastery over the weapon.

'''Daemon Weapons''' are gifts of the [[Gods of Chaos]], used by [[Chaos Champion]]s and [[Daemons]].  Bound (sometimes willingly) in the form of the weapon, and imprisoned there for an eternity, is the spirit of a Daemon.

The most famous of these daemon weapons is the Daemon Sword Drach'nyen, carried by Abaddon the Despoiler and harboring the daemon Drach'nyen. All that is known about Drach'nyen is that it can "rend reality apart".  Also, unlike other weapons that occasionally attempt to subvert their bearer, Drach'nyen is under Abaddon's complete control.

==Overview==
 +
[[Image:Daemon weapon - Rune Weapon.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Daemon Weapon{{Fn|19}}]]
 +
Daemon Weapons are only granted to the most powerful of a Chaos God's servants: [[Greater Daemon]]s, [[Daemon Prince]]s and still-mortal Champions of Chaos. Each weapon is unique and grants considerable power to those who wield it, however the daemon bound to the weapon can sometimes overcome the will of its would-be master.
  
−
Another well-known Daemon Weapon is the Gorechild, a massive chainaxe carried by Kharn the Betrayer. While in game terms Gorechild is not technically a Daemon Weapon, it does behave like a Daemon Weapon in the books.  Gorechild continually beckons for Kharn to slay and slay to satiate the thirst of the Khorne-daemon bound within.  And Kharn, the masochistic pawn of Khorne that he is, continually obliges.
+
No Daemon enjoys being bound and they are particularly frustrated when bound to a non-killing implement, such as a shield. The absence of murder and blood for so long can drive Daemons insane.

Willingly you picked me up. Your first mistake. Willingly you drew me. Your second mistake. I do not allow my servants to make three mistakes, foolish mortal...
- A Daemon Weapon [2a]


A Daemonblade[15]

Daemon Weapons are gifts of the Gods of Chaos, used by Chaos Champions and Daemons. Bound (sometimes willingly) in the form of the weapon, and imprisoned there for an eternity, is the spirit of a Daemon.

Overview

 
Daemon Weapon[19]

Daemon Weapons are only granted to the most powerful of a Chaos God's servants: Greater Daemons, Daemon Princes and still-mortal Champions of Chaos. Each weapon is unique and grants considerable power to those who wield it, however the daemon bound to the weapon can sometimes overcome the will of its would-be master.

No Daemon enjoys being bound and they are particularly frustrated when bound to a non-killing implement, such as a shield. The absence of murder and blood for so long can drive Daemons insane.
