{{OrdoMalleusPortalGreyKnightsPortal}}'''Nemesis force weapons''' are the characteristic weapon of the [[Grey Knights]], and take the form of swords, axes, halberds, maces, and hammers. Nemesis force weapons house a psi-matrix attuned to the unique psyche of its owner. The power of the weapon itself directly corresponds to the [[psychic ]] talent of the wielder. In its original version, the haft incorporated a [[bolter ]] weapon, similar to the [[Adeptus Custodes]] [[guardian Guardian Spear|guardian spear]]; on newer models of the Grey Knights the bolter is a wrist-mounted [[storm bolter]], incorporated into the Knight's [[power armour ]] itself.
== Types and Variants ==*'''=== Nemesis Force Sword:'''===

The most common type of weapon wielded by the Grey Knights is the '''Nemesis Force Sword, it '''. It exemplifies the mixture of magick and science utilized by the Grey Knights. The blade is tempered iron, flecked with shards of silver and inset with ancient runes of daemon slaying. Advanced power field generators are also contained within.<sup>{{Fn|1</sup>}}
*'''=== Nemesis Force Halberd:'''===

A '''Nemesis Halberd ''' is a two -handed weapon that consists of a long [[adamantium ]] haft with an iron and silver blade set upon the top. This extra reach often allows a Grey Knight to land a fatal blow, killing the enemy before being coming within reach of their own its weapons.<sup>{{Fn|1</sup>}}
*'''=== Nemesis Daemon Hammer:'''===

The '''Nemesis Daemon Hammer ''' is much like a the [[Thunder Hammer ]] used by most other Chapters[[Chapter]]s, but combines the crushing power with magicks of destruction that few . Few enemies can survive a single blow.<sup>{{Fn|1</sup>}}
*'''=== Nemesis Warding Stave:'''===

Unlike most of the Nemesis Force Weapons used by the Grey Knights, the '''Nemesis Warding Stave ''' has abilities used in defensive situations. The wielder of the stave can channel his [[psychic ]] might into the haft to activate the [[refractor fields field]]s within. The refractor fields, once activated, then projects project a force field around the wielder, softening any blows and thus increasing the chance for retaliation.<sup>{{Fn|1</sup>}}
*'''=== Nemesis Falchions:'''===
[[Image:NemFal.jpg|thumb|right|Nemesis Falchion{{Fn|1}}]]
Wielded in a pair, '''Nemesis Falchions ''' are a smaller variant to variants of the Nemesis Force Sword. By triggering the circuitry within each Falchion, a Grey Knight can swing the Force Weapon with incredible speed, striking several blows with pinpoint accuracy.<sup>{{Fn|1</sup>}}
*'''=== Nemesis Doomfist:'''===The [[powerfistpower fist]]s of the [[Grey Knights Dreadnought]] are augmented with Nemesis circuitry. Although the body interred within the sarcophagus is mortally wounded, his will to fight on alongside his brother is as strong now as it was before and his psychic might is as formidable as ever.<sup>{{Fn|1</sup>}}
*'''=== Nemesis Greatsword:'''===Only [[Grey Knights Nemesis Dreadknight|Dreadknights]] s are able to wield the gargantuan size of a '''Nemesis Greatsword''', as no mere Grey Knight could ever hope to wield such a colossal weapon unaided.<sup>{{Fn|1</sup>}} ==See also==*[[Force weapon]]s*[[Guardian Spear]]
