'''Daemon Weapons''' are gifts of the [[Gods of Chaos]], used by champions and [[Daemons]] of Chaos. Bound (sometimes willingly) in the form of the weapon, and imprisoned there for an eternity, is the spirit of a Daemon.
Deamon Weapons are only granted to the most powerful of a Chaos God's servants: [[Greater DaemonsDaemon]]s, [[Daemon Princes Prince]]s and still-mortal Champions of Chaos. Each weapon is unique and grants considerable power to those who wield it, however the daemon bound to the weapon can sometimes overcome the will of its would-be master.
==Daemon Weapons of Khorne==
*'''Axe of Khorne''' - An '''Axe of '''[[Khorne ]] contains a bound [[Greater Daemon of Khorne]] and is filled with insatiable bloodlust. Axes of Khorne are wielded by Bloodthirsters[[Bloodthirster]]s, thay and are also gifted on occasion to other followers of Khorne.
*'''Berzerker Glaive''' - The '''Berserker Glaive''' is a weapon that the bearer must constantly fight with to remain in control of. The blade contains the bound essence of a [[Bloodletter]] which has been driven truly insane by its captivity.
*'''Bloodfeeder''' - Often in the form of an axe, the Bloodfeeder contains a raging [[Bloodthirster]].
==Daemon Weapons of Slaanesh==
*'''Blissgiver''' Usually in the form of a whip or elegant blade, the Blissgiver enduces coma in its victims
*'''Lash of Torment''' - The '''Lash of Torment''' is a living whip with wicked spikes along its length and is warm to the touch. It feeds on the pain and fear of its victims, amplifying such emotions and inducing terror in those nearby.<sup>3</sup>
*'''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 blood stream, so potent is the poison. They will often then remain slumped over the needle.<sup>3</sup>
==Daemon Weapons of Nurgle==
*'''Plaguebringer'''- A '''Plaguebringer''' is a truely feculent weapon, and it said that the daemonic germs it harbours are virulent enough to kill the toughest foe.*'''Manreaper''' - The Manreaper is a [[daemon]]icly daemonicly possessed two-handed scythe, supposedly dipped in the filth seeping from the throne of [[Nurgle]], that can kill multiple opponents in one motion. Also its daemonic touch saps the will of the targeted squad. It is primarily carried by [[Chaos Lord]]s.<sup>2</sup>: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, both before and after his eventual fall to Chaos<sup>4</sup>.
*'''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.<sup>3</sup>
==Daemon Weapons of Tzeentch==
*'''Bedlam Staff''' - '''Bedlam Staffs''' originate 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 their psychic remnants of many warriors. When they strike, Bedlam Staffs remove all thoughts from the minds of the target, making them pause temporarily<sup>3</sup>.
:In Dawn of War, the Bedlam Staff is [[Chaos Sorcerer]] [[Sindri Myr]]'s melee weapon and it is extremely deadly against any infantry targets. It is not so effective against vehicles or buildings<sup>5</sup>.
*'''Deathscreamer'''
