'''Vortex Weapons''' are some of the most deadly weapons available and, while coming in many shapes and sizes, operate on the same principle of creating a gaping hole in reality. Like a black hole anything that comes in contact with this warp rift is effectively wiped from existence as they are sucked into the nightmare realm known as the [[Immaterium]]. Along with their destructive potential, Vortex weapons are also unpredictable, with the resulting warp rift traveling across the battlefield at random until eventually vanishing.<sup>1</sup>
