[[Image:NemSword.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Nemesis Force Sword{{Fn|1}}]]
The most common type of weapon wielded by the Grey Knights is the '''Nemesis Force Sword'''. 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.{{Fn|1}}

=== 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 coming within reach of its weapons.{{Fn|1}}

=== Nemesis Daemon Hammer ===
[[Image:NemDH.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Nemesis Daemon Hammer{{Fn|1}}]]
The '''Nemesis Daemon Hammer''' is much like the [[Thunder Hammer]] used by most other [[Chapter]]s, but combines the crushing power with magicks of destruction. Few enemies can survive a single blow.{{Fn|1}}

=== 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 field]]s within. The refractor fields, once activated, then project a force field around the wielder, softening any blows and thus increasing the chance for retaliation.{{Fn|1}}

=== Nemesis Falchions ===
[[Image:NemFal.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Nemesis Falchion{{Fn|1}}]]
Wielded in a pair, '''Nemesis Falchions''' are smaller 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.{{Fn|1}}
<br clear=all>
=== Nemesis Doomfist ===
[[Image:Nemesis Doomfist.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Nemesis Doomfist{{Fn|4}}]]Also known as the '''Dreadfist'''{{Fn|4}}. The [[power 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 brothers is as strong now as it was before and his psychic might is as formidable as ever.{{Fn|1}}<br clear=all>
=== Nemesis Greatsword ===
[[Image:DreadknightSword.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Nemesis Greatsword{{Fn|3}}]]
Only [[Dreadknight]]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.{{Fn|1}}
<br clear=all>
=== Nemesis Daemon Greathammer ===
[[Image:DreadknightHammer.jpg|thumb|right|100px|Nemesis Great Daemonhammer{{Fn|3}}]]
A massive version of the Nemesis Daemon Hammer used by [[Dreadknight]]s.{{Fn|4}}
<br clear=all>
=== Nemesis Doomglaive ===
[[Image:NemesisDoomglaive.jpg|thumb|right|100px|Nemesis Doomglaive{{Fn|2}}]]
This weapon resembles the huge sword psychically attuned to one arm of the Mk IV [[Dreadnought]]. It is one of the weapon of the [[Grey Knights Dreadnought#Equipment|Doomglaive Pattern Dreadnoughts]] of the Grey Knights. It is a best weapon to confront large hordes of enemies, its cunningly articulated mount and long blade proved to make a devastating scything strikes.{{Fn|2}}
