{{cite}}{{incomplete}}'''Daemon Weapons''' are gifts of the [[Chaos]] Gods, unearthed by particularly chosen champions of Chaos. [[Daemons]] are imprisoned in the weapon, but have a very powerful, persuasive, and sometimes detrimental effect to their holder if the wielder cannot firmly establish his mastery over the weapon.

'''The most famous of these Daemon Weapons''' are gifts of weapons is the Daemon Sword [[ChaosDrach'nyen]] Gods, unearthed carried by particluarly chosen champions of Chaos. [[DaemonsAbaddon the Despoiler]] are imprisoned in and harbouring the weapondaemon Drach'nyen. All that is known about Drach'nyen is that it can "rend reality apart". Also, but have a very powerful, persuasive, and sometimes detrimental effect unlike other weapons that occasionally attempt to subvert their holder if the wielder cannot firmly establish his mastery over the weaponbearer, Drach'nyen is under Abaddon's complete control.

The most famous of these Daemon [[anathame]] weapons is possessed by the Daemon Sword [[Drach'nyenInterex]]could have been daemon weapons as well, having been cited by Jephta Naud as bearing curses, carried or something similar in nature, that make them inimical to their chosen target.¹ ==Daemon Weapons==*'''Daemon Weapon''' - (unaligned)*'''Bloodfeeder'''*'''Plaguebringer'''*'''Deathscreamer'''*'''Blissgiver'''*'''Dark Blade''' - The Dark Blade is jet black and contains no other marks to blemish its surface. The blade has a perfect darkness although the hilt, pommel and grip are often adorned. The blade feeds on the souls of its enemies and uses this power to force the bearer on to greater acts of savagery in order to sate its appetite.^2,3*'''Dreadaxe''' - The Dreadaxe contains a vampiric being with a thirst for the souls of other daemons. It is almost inevitable that anyone who opposes this weapon will die quickly. They usually take the form of a highly decorated double-bladed axe.²*'''Ether Lance''' - The Ether Lance is a gateway for warp power to surge into the materium and can be highly potent in both combat and at range. Bolts of deadly warp energy leap from the weapon over a wide area or lure enemies into the lance itself, utterly consuming them with warp energy.²*'''Kai Gun''' - The '''Kai Gun''' was produced by the machine smiths of [[Abaddon Kai]] when the DespoilerKai system was absorbed into the [[Eye of Terror]] by the warp storm ''Gae-sann''. The smiths bartered their services for a measure of protection from the daemons of the warp and harboring produced the Kai Gun in return. Eventually this deal came to an end when daemons descended on Kai and butchered the population, leaving only the massive, arcane bolter-like weapons as their legacy. The gun is massive and heavy, normally only moveable by two or more men, however a large daemon Drachwould have little difficulty with it. It acts as a conduit for the malice and hatred of its firer and melds them into tangible burst of energy.²*'''Accursed Crozius'''nyen- An '''Accursed Crozius''' is the ritually defiled weapon of a [[Dark Apostle]], the former [[Chaplains]] of the [[Word Bearers]] Legion. At the time of the Horus Heresy, most Chaplains resisted the lure of Chaos and were slaughtered by their brother Astartes, however the Chaplains of the Word Bearers had the same fervent desire to find objects of worship as their Primarch Lorgar and so willingly turned to the dark devotion of Chaos.² :To prove their dedication of faith to the Dark Gods, the Chaplains corrupted their once-sacred Crozius Arcanum, their badge of office and symbol of the Imperial faith. All With such blasphemous actions, the Crozius were blessed with fell powers to show that no servant of the Emperor, even the strongest-willed, is known about Drachimmune to the call of Chaos. In battle, they now serve not only as both weapon and mark of rank, but also a powerful link between the bearer and the warp itself.²*'''Berzerker Glaive''' - The '''Berserker Glaive'''nyen is a weapon that the bearer must constantly fight with to remain in dominance. The blade contains the bound essence of a [[Bloodthirster]] which has been driven truly insane by its captivity. The glaive provides great protection for the bearer, but doesn't always destroy the right person³.*'''Manreaper''' - The Manreaper is a [[daemon]]icly possessed two-handed scythe, supposedly dipped in the filth seeping from the throne of Nurgle, that it can "rend reality apart"kill multiple opponents in one motion. Alsoits daemonic touch saps the will of the targeted squad. It is primarily carried by [[Chaos Lord]]s.² :The Manreaper was the [[Death Guard]] [[Primarch]] [[Mortarion]]'s weapon of choice, and others - including his elite guard, the [[Deathshroud]] - emulated his example. It is best known for being wielded by [[Typhus]], the Herald of Nurgle, unlike other weapons that occasionally attempt both before and after his eventual fall to Chaos⁴.*'''Pandemic Staff''' - The '''Pandemic Staffs''' are vessels for the diseases of Nurgle when they are carried from the Warp to the materium and can be released in battle to feast upon enemy units.³*'''Lash of Torment''' - The '''Lash of Torment''' is a living whip with wicked spikes along its length and is warm to the touch (evidence for it being alive). It lives off the fear of those surrounding it and it expels this feeling to subvert those around.³*'''Needle of Desire''' - The '''Needle of Desire''' is a double ended needle, one end of which is permanently inserted into the champion, from whom it absorbs various poisons and toxins produced by champions of Slaanesh. The venom will throw anyone into a state of delirium and many simply shut down the moment the toxins reach their bearerblood stream, Drachso potent is the poison. They will often then remain slumped over the needle.³*'''Bedlam Staff''' - '''Bedlam Staffs''nyen is under Abaddon's complete controloriginate during the [[Horus Heresy]] from within the [[Thousand Sons]]. Since they turned to [[Tzeentch]] the Bedlam Staffs have been held by many warriors and are steeped in the psychic remnants of many warriors. When they strike, Bedlam Staffs remove all thoughts from the minds of the target, making them pause temporarily³.

The :In Dawn of War, the Bedlam Staff is [[anathameChaos Sorcerer]] weapons possessed by the [[InterexSindri Myr]] could have been daemon weapons 's melee weapon and it is extremely deadly against any infantry targets. It is not so effective against vehicles or buildings⁵.*'''Warp Blade''' - The '''Warp Blade''' is a Chaos Space Marine wargear upgrade, gifted by Tzeentch. The Warp Blade has the power to dissipate psychic energy directed towards it, as well, having been cited by Jephta Naud as bearing curses, or something similar in nature, that make them inimical to their chosen targetbeing a highly potent close combat weapon.¹³ == Sources ==
