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 Daemons, Daemon Princes 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.

"Willingly you picked me up. Your first mistake. Willingly you drew me. Your second mistake. I do not allow my servants to make three mistakes, foolish mortal..."

The Daemon who finds the sword becomes the Lord of Slaughter and may wield the sword for a day or an age or however long Khorne sees fit. When Khorne wearies of his Lord's exploits, a new Flesh Hound is sent to devour both the wielder and the sword, and the tournament begins again.8b
