*[[Accursed Crozius]] - [[Word Bearers]] exclusive <sup>2-p43</sup>===Notable Daemon Weapons===
no edit summary
'''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.
==Overview==
Deamon Weapons are only granted to the most powerful of a Chaos God's servants: [[Greater Daemon]]s, [[Daemon 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 [[Bloodthirster]]s, and are also gifted on occasion to other followers of Khorne. <sup>2-p47</sup>
*'''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. <sup>2-p48</sup>
*'''Bloodfeeder''' - Often in the form of an axe, the Bloodfeeder contains a raging Bloodthirster. <sup>5-p93</sup>

It feeds on the pain and fear of its victims, amplifying such emotions and inducing terror in those nearby.<sup>2-p55</sup> <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]].

They will often then remain slumped over the needle.<sup>2-p56</sup> <sup>3</sup>
