Revision as of 20:36, 19 January 2012
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.
Contents
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.
