==Other Daemon Weapons==*'''Accursed Crozius''' - An '''Accursed Crozius''' is the ritually defiled weapon of a [[Dark ApostleBlade]], 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.<sup>2</sup>: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. With such blasphemous actions, the Crozius were blessed with fell powers to show that no servant of the Emperor, even the strongest-willed, is immune 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.<sup>2</sup>*'''Anathame''' The [[anathame]] weapons possessed by the [[Interex]] could have been daemon weapons as well, having been cited by Jephta Naud as bearing curses, or something similar in nature, that make them inimical to their chosen target.<sup>1p19</sup>*'''Artekus Scourge'''*'''Blade of Phaedron'''*'''Daemon Weapon (chaos undivided/unaligned)'''*'''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.<sup>2,3</sup> *'''Drach'Nyen''' The most famous of these Daemon weapons is the Daemon Sword [[Drach'nyenDreadaxe]], carried by [[Abaddon the Despoiler]] and harbouring the daemon Drach'nyen. All that is known about Drach'nyen is that it can "rend reality apart". Also, unlike other weapons that occasionally attempt to subvert their bearer, Drach'nyen is under Abaddon's complete control.*'''Dreadaxe''' <sup>2-p19</sup> - 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.<sup>2</sup>*'''[[Ether Lance''' ]] <sup>2-p19</sup> - 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.<sup>2</sup>*'''Kai Gun''' - The '''Kai Gun''' was produced by the machine smiths of [[KaiGun]] when the Kai system was absorbed into the <sup>2-p20</sup>==Notable Daemon Weapons==*[[Eye of TerrorDrach'nyen]] by the warp storm ''Gae<sup>1-sann''. The smiths bartered their services for a measure of protection from the daemons of the warp and 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 would 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.p22</sup> <sup>2-p44</sup>*'''Sword of St. Aquitaine'''{{Cite This}}*'''Artekus Scourge''' {{Cite This}}*'''Blade of Phaedron''' {{Cite This}}

==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 their psychic remnants. 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'''
*'''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 as being a highly potent close combat weapon.<sup>3</sup>
