The Vortex Grenade is a rare and deadly weapon which is difficult to produce.
 
It takes the form of a weighty sphere, approximatley the same size as the fist of a grown man. Inside is outer shell lies a delicate, though temperamental, warp mechanism. The designs of the device date back to the Dark Age of Technology.
 
When the grenade is activated, it creates a tiny rift between the materium and the immaterium, a rift that becomes a vortex in the very fabric of space, similar to a black hole. Everyone and everything encompassed by the vortex is destroyed; all matter and energy is drawn through the vortex and it is turned inot the very stuff of the warp.
 
Vortices are doubly dangerous, as once they are created they behave in an unpredicatable and uncontrolable manner. They may shrink, expand, vanish, remain for long periods of time, move or even divide. For this reason, they are as deadly to their user as their intended targets.
