==Game appearances==
Vortex grenades first appeared as a grenade type in [[Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader]] and remained in use through the 2nd edition of Warhammer 40,000 as a Wargear Card. They were removed as a piece of equipment during the 3rd edition of the game, but were brought back into the 4th edition in the form of an [[Apocalypse]] Expansion Strategic Asset. The 'Tactical Asset' entry in the [[Apocalypse]] Expansion describes them as: ''"The most potent man-portable weapon in the galaxy."''
==Known Vortex Grenade Patterns==
===Nihilus-pattern===
An ancient pattern that has been manufactured since the [[Great Crusade]]. This pattern has a armament rune and known expiration date. It's timer was set to >3 seconds, and the wielder should recite the Psalm of Armament before activating it. {{Fn|3}}
While normally not issued to [[Imperial Guard]] regiments, a crate was recovered that had been lost since the Great Crusade. Despite, or more likely due, to being well beyond their expiration date, the cache was issued to an unknown [[Imperial Guard]] regiment.{{Fn|3}}
