A Daemonhammer[2]
The Daemonhammer is a huge war-hammer used by the Inquisition, in particular the Daemonhunters.[2] It is gifted to an Inquisitor only after they have excelled in battle by killing a Greater Daemon.

Hammers may also be granted by the Inquisition to other Imperial Forces such as the Space Marines. This mighty weapon may be bestowed onto a Chapter after a battle with the forces of Chaos.[1]
They are legendary among the Ordo Malleus and the sign of the Inquisition is set as a burning sigil on the head of the hammer itself. There is a distinctive crackle as the hammer strikes, and this force easily blows aside most foes like a bolt of lightning.[2]
