Extra Weapons are a great way to add more variety to gameplay, as well as provide an overall more diverse set of equipment for your characters.

Weapons with names in italics are not part of official Warhammer 40,000 canon; they are either fan-created originals or conversions from another fictional universe.

Overview[]

Not all of the following weapons are appropriate for every campaign. Some, like the various Las and Bolt weapons, are most fitting as they are more commonly found in the hands of the Inquisition or other Imperial forces. These as also usually fitting for higher ranked characters, as they are both more expensive and rarer then their lesser counterparts.

Some of the weapons are Xenos weapons which require unique skills usually not found in even experienced Inquisitorial Acolytes. However, members of the Ordo Xenos are more likely to be skilled and knowledgeable in alien technology, and thusly may be able to use them. Alternately, in a Xenos campaign they can be the general weapons used. When this is applicable, a note will be made in the description for specific costs exclusively for Xenos use.

Note that a great many weapons are given stats in the Inquisitor's Handbook or other Warhammer 40,000 Roleplay books; out of respect for Games Workshop's and Fantasy Flight Games' intellectual property, these weapons will not have stats listed here.

Ranged Weapons[]

Primitive/Low-Tech Weapons[]

Flintlock Rifle[]

Name Class Range ROF Dmg Pen Clp Rld Spl Wt Cost Avail
Flintlock Rifle Basic 90m S/-/- 1d10+2 I 0 1 5Full Primitive, Unreliable 7kg 60 Average
Produced on worlds with a slightly higher (but still pre-Imperial) technology base, flintlock rifles use a rifled barrel and an expanding slug to achieve accuracy and range greater than that of a smoothbore musket. However, because the rifling on the barrels can be somewhat difficult for low-technology worlds to reproduce on a large scale, flintlock rifles are more expensive and less common than their smoothbore counterparts.

Repeating Crossbow[]

Name Class Range ROF Dmg Pen Clp Rld Spl Wt Cost Avail
Repeating Crossbow Basic 30m S/3/- 1d10 R 0 6 2Full Primitive 4kg 30 Average
This model of crossbow feeds quarrels from a bulky box magazine, allowing for a higher rate of fire than its manual counterpart.

Las Weapons[]

Necromunda-Pattern Lasgun[]

Name Class Range ROF Dmg Pen Clp Rld Spl Wt Cost Avail
Lasgun Basic 60m S/3/6 1d10+3 E 0 60 Full Reliable 4kg 75 Common
A variant of lasgun produced on the hive world of Necromunda. This weapon boasts a higher rate of fire than the standard lasgun, but at the cost of a significantly shorter effective range.
Necromunda-pattern lasguns benefit from the Lasgun Variable Setting rule (in rulesets where that rule exists).

Emplacement-Grade Lascannon[]

Name Class Range ROF Dmg Pen Clp Rld Spl Wt Cost Avail
Lascannon Mounted 320m S/-/- 5d10+15 E 10 10 3Full Proven (3) 90kg 7500 Rare
Far too large and bulky to be carried and fired by a single soldier, emplacement-grade lascannons such as the Godhammer-pattern are a mainstay of heavy weapons teams, anti-tank vehicles, and fortification defense strongpoints.

Schofield-Pattern Model 211-V Lascutter[]

Name Class Range ROF Dmg Pen Clp Rld Spl Wt Cost Avail
211-V Lascutter Pistol 15m S/-/- 1d10+4 E 2 10 Full Tearing 2kg 75 Scarce
Sometimes mistakenly referred to as a "plasma cutter," the Model 211-V lascutter projects a wide, high-intensity laser "blade" capable of burning through most materials. Unlike many other varieties of lascutter, the 211-V is also handy enough to be pressed into service as an impromptu weapon -- to the point that many mining concerns are wary of issuing it to their indentured labor, for fear of the miners revolting and turning the lascutters on their erstwhile masters.
A 211-V lascutter can also be used to cut through slabs of metal, rock, or other hard materials up to 5 cm thick at a rate of 25 cm per round. Each round spent doing so uses one charge in the weapon’s clip. Unlike other lascutters, the 211-V is designed for use in mining rather than starship repair, and will have little effect on materials as hard as adamantium or hull plate. This weapon may not be equipped with any unusual ammo.

Schofield-Pattern IM-822 Handheld Ore Cutter[]

Name Class Range ROF Dmg Pen Clp Rld Spl Wt Cost Avail
Handheld Ore Cutter Basic 30m S/-/- 1d10+5 E 3 5 Full Tearing 5kg 180 Scarce
Essentially a larger version of the Model 211-V, the Handheld Ore Cutter (HOC) emits a broad, powerful laser beam designed to cut through solid rock. Like the 211-V, the HOC is compact and well-balanced enough to be wielded as an improvised weapon, causing many nervous mine owners to pass it up in favor of bulkier and more cumbersome equipment. The fact that miners often informally refer to the device as a "line gun" does little to allay their concerns.
An HOC can also be used to cut through slabs of metal, rock, or other hard materials up to 15 cm thick at a rate of 50 cm per round. Each round spent doing so uses one charge in the weapon’s clip. Unlike other lascutters, the HOC is designed for use in mining rather than starship repair, and will have little effect on materials as hard as adamantium or hull plate. This weapon may not be equipped with any unusual ammo.

Solid Projectile Weapons[]

Ripper gun[]

Name Class Range ROF Dmg Pen Clp Rld Spl Wt Cost Avail
Ripper gun heavy 30m S/5/10 1d10+7 I 1 40 2Full Scatter, Reliable Ogryn proof 35kg 1000 Scarce
A robust and simple weapon with devastating effects, the Ripper gun is used by Ogryn foot soldiers of the Imperial Guard. This huge, automatic shotgun that obliterates enemies at close range, but is useless at longer ranges. Anyone without the trait size(Hulking) takes a -10 to weilding this monumental shotgun. Usual heavy weapon rules apply.
Full rule set is available in the Only War Rulebook

Naval Pistol[]

Name Class Range ROF Dmg Pen Clp Rld Spl Wt Cost Avail
Naval Pistol Pistol 20m S/-/- 1d10+4 I 0 6 3Full Reliable 2kg 50 Average
Similar in design to the stub revolver, this model of naval pistol is a heavy-duty sidearm with a revolving chamber. As its name suggests, it is commonly seen in the possession of Imperial Navy troopers and officers, and is used as much as a tool for disciplining rebellious ratings as a proper firearm. Because of its heavy and robust design, a naval pistol can be wielded in close combat with the same stats as a club.
Other patterns of naval pistol also exist, such as the Mars-pattern and the Cypra Mundi "Irontalon" pattern; these weapons are given stats elsewhere (see the Rogue Trader core rulebook and The Inquisitor's Handbook for more details).

Autocarbine[]

Name Class Range ROF Dmg Pen Clp Rld Spl Wt Cost Avail
Autocarbine Basic 60m S/3/10 1d10+2 I 0 30 Full --- 3kg 85

common

Falling somewhere between an autopistol and a full autogun in size, the autocarbine is a compact weapon designed for use in close-quarters combat situations, such as urban or trench warfare. Autocarbines use the same ammunition as autopistols. An autocarbine can be fired one-handed with only a -10 penalty.

Autostubber[]

Name Class Range ROF Dmg Pen Clp Rld Spl Wt Cost Avail
Autostubber Basic 45m S/3/10 1d10+3 I 0 30 Full --- 3kg 105 Average
The autostubber is similar to the autocarbine in design, but rather than autopistol cartridges, it instead fires the larger and more robust rounds used by stub revolvers and automatics. This gives the weapon increased stopping power (comparable to that of compact autoguns like the Creed-9), but the increased recoil reduces its effective range. An autostubber can be fired one-handed with only a -10 penalty.

Sawn-Off Shotgun[]

Name Class Range ROF Dmg Pen Clp Rld Spl Wt Cost Avail
Sawn-Off Shotgun Pistol 15m S/-/- 1d10+4 I 0 2 2Full Scatter, Reliable, Inaccurate 2kg 60 Common
This simple weapon variant is created by sawing short the barrels and stock of an ordinary shotgun, trading accuracy and range for reduced weight and increased concealability. It is a favorite among gangers and other criminals. Although a sawn-off shotgun is small and maneuverable enough to be fired one-handed, under most circumstances this is a very bad idea (as no small number of acolytes with broken wrists can attest to). Many local varieties of this weapon exist, such as the so-called "hack shotguns" common in the underhives of several hive worlds.
Because of the (comparatively) tremendous recoil generated by this weapon, it imposes a -10 penalty to Ballistic Skill Tests unless fired two-handed. Any character may modify an ordinary shotgun into a sawn-off shotgun with a Routine (+20) Trade (Armorer) Test, given the appropriate tools and sufficient time; for obvious reasons, this doesn't work the other way round!
It should also be noted that it is possible to break the 2 shell clip, since the shotgun is not specifically stated as "Double Barrel".

Repeating Rifle[]

Name Class Range ROF Dmg Pen Clp Rld Spl Wt Cost Avail
Repeating Rifle Basic 120m S/2/- 1d10+3 I 0 12 2Full Accurate 4kg 80 Average
A typical lever-action repeating rifle, similar to the Steadholder rifles produced in Gunmetal City. Falling somewhere between the standard autogun and a hunting rifle in terms of range, rate of fire, and ammunition capacity, and being slower to reload than either of these weapons, repeating rifles are something of a curiosity in the Imperium; nevertheless, there are some who swear by their use, particularly on worlds with a comparatively low technology base.

Automatic Shotgun[]

Name Class Range ROF Dmg Pen Clp Rld Spl Wt Cost Avail
Automatic Shotgun Basic 30m S/3/6 1d10+4 I 0 18 Full Scatter 7kg 250 Rare
The automatic shotgun is the ultimate expression of the shotgun as a tool of close-range killing. Combining the devastating short ranged firepower of all shotguns with nearly autogun-like rates of fire, the automatic shotgun is capable of turning unarmored targets into bloody smears on the walls with only a few seconds of sustained fire. A similar weapon is used by the Skitarii-Provosts of Mechanicus Forge Worlds to maintain order among the workers.
Also Present in the Only War rulebook with some differing stats. (Particularly RoF and Availability.)

Assault Shotgun[]

Name Class Range ROF Dmg Pen Clp Rld Special Wt Cost Avail
Assault Shotgun Basic 40m S/-/10 1d10+4 I 0 30 Full Scatter 9kg 1500 Rare
Most frequently used by the Adeptus Arbites, this weapon can unleash quite a few shells in under a second. The full-auto abilty makes it an ideal crowd stopper, or a great daemon stopper, whichever you prefer.

Rotator Cannon[]

Name Class Range ROF Dmg Pen Clp Rld Spl Wt Cost Avail
Rotator Cannon Heavy 120m -/-/10 1d10+5 I 3 200 2Full Devastating (1), Tearing, Unreliable 50kg 1500 Rare
The rotator cannon is a smaller version of the assault cannon used on vehicles, dreadnoughts, and Terminator armor. Like its larger cousin, the rotator cannon can shred through armor in a hail of bullets, but the machine spirit of its rotary motor is temperamental and prone to jamming and overheating. It is small enough to be man-portable (barely), but is more commonly seen as a pintle-mounted weapon on light vehicles. Rotator cannons use the same ammunition as heavy stubbers. A rotator cannon can be used with an ammunition drum, rather than being belt-fed; in this case, the weapon's Cost increases by 100 Thrones and its Clip size changes to 40, but its Reload time decreases to Full.
A character attempting to fire a rotator cannon without external support (such as a pintle mount or a tripod) must have a Strength Bonus of at least 5. Weaker characters take a -10 penalty to the Ballistic Skill Test for each point of Strength Bonus below 5.

Elysia Pattern Mk VII Light MP Autocannon[]

Name Class Range ROF Dmg Pen Clp Rld Spl Wt Cost Avail
Elysia Pattern Mk VII Light MP Autocannon Heavy 150m S/2/5 2d10+4 I 4 10 2Full * 25kg 1300** Very Rare***
The Elysia Pattern Mk VII Light MP Autocannon is a highly compact autocannon using cut down shells, intended for the drop troops Elysia is famed for.  Its small design and internal recoil compensators make it easier for a soldier to bring it to bear.  However, the smaller sized recoil compensators required to fit into the smaller weapon are not up to the task of controlling the recoil from prolonged bursts of fire.  An integral bipod helps minimize this trait, but has left the weapon with no place to put any further upgrades.
  • This weapon does not require bracing. However, if not braced, the firer will take a -10 penalty when firing on semi-automatic, and the weapon gains the Unreliable quality. If not braced and firing on fully automatic, the firer takes a -30 penalty and the weapon gains the Unreliable and Inaccurate qualities. There is no penalty when firing single shots, or when braced. Because of its recoil compensators and compact design, the weapon has no attachment rails for the body, and the underbarrel location is occupied by the folding bipod.  The internals are not structured to allow any further improvements to be made either.  Weapon upgrades may only be applied to this weapon at the GM's discretion.
  • Within Elysia this weapon costs 750 thrones.
  • Within Elysia, or in an Elysian Drop Regiment, this weapon is Scarce.

Grox Rifle[]

Name Class Range ROF Dmg Pen Clp Rld Spl Wt Cost Avail
Grox Rifle Basic 120m S/-/- 1d10+6 I 3 5 Full Accurate 6kg 200 Rare
Also known as carnosaur rifles, devil rifles, and a number of other colorful names, grox rifles are extreme-caliber, high-velocity hunting weapons used by the wealthy and adventurous to take down large, dangerous game. True to the name, a well-aimed shot from one of these weapons can stop a charging bull grox, and the recoil from one of these guns is vicious enough to knock a grown man flat on his back.
Although the grox rifle is a Basic weapon, it must be braced before firing in the same way as a Heavy weapon. A character who fires a grox rifle unbraced loses the benefit of the Accurate quality and must make a Challenging (+0) Strength Test after firing the shot. Failure means the character drops the weapon, while failure by two or more Degrees means the character is also knocked prone. A character with the Bulging Biceps Talent ignores this bracing requirement.

Heavy Sniper Rifle[]

Name Class Range ROF Dmg Pen Clp Rld Spl Wt Cost Avail
Heavy Sniper Rifle Basic 200m S/-/- 1d10+5 I 6 10 Full Accurate 14kg 500 Rare
This military-grade sniper rifle fires .50 cal anti material rounds, allowing it to take down light vehicles like land speeders and scout cars.

Divet Arms Heavy Autopistol[]

Name Class Range ROF Dmg Pen Clp Rld Spl Wt Cost Avail
Divet Autopistol Pistol 30m S/3/6 1d10+3 I 0 12 Full --- 3kg 80 Common
This high-caliber autopistol is the standard-issue sidearm for a number of planetary security and defense forces.

"PersoGun" Personal Defense Autopistol[]

Name Class Range ROF Dmg Pen Clp Rld Spl Wt Cost Avail
PersoGun Pistol 30m S/4/- 1d10+1 I 0 20 Full Inaccurate, Unreliable 0.5kg 25 Plentiful
Produced in great quantities by mid-level manufactories in a number of hives, the so-called "PersoGun" is a cheaply-made .22-caliber autopistol whose external components are comprised mostly of polymeric materials. Marketed as a combined defensive weapon and fashion accessory to trendy upper-middle hivers, these PersoGuns are often embossed with liturgical scripture or pictures of saints, celebrities, or popular pict-show characters. Serious fighters decry these "cheap plastic toys" as being underpowered, poorly-made, and insufficient in virtually any real combat situation, but for the weapon's target demographic, these are generally not major concerns.
Because of the poor reputation and often gaudy nature of these weapons, a character who openly carries a PersoGun will suffer a -10 penalty when attempting certain Interaction Tests (such as threatening a group of gangers, questioning members of the local PDF, or talking to anyone at all in Gunmetal City). However, in certain other situations (chatting with fashion-conscious mid-hive juves or trying to convince those gangers that you're a harmless and rather simple-minded tourist, for example), openly carrying a PersoGun will provide a +10 bonus to Interaction Tests instead.

Bolt Weapons[]

MK III Bolt Pistol[]

Name Class Range ROF Dmg Pen Clp Rld Spl Wt Cost Avail
Boltpistol Pistol 30m S/2/3 1d10+5 X 4 9 2Full Tearing 3kg 250  Rare
The MK III Bolt Pistol like its bolter counterpart has a reduced size and higher rate of fire, unlike its bolter counter part it has an extended mag.The downside of this though is that it is slower to reload.Most owners of the weapon will tell you this is a more than a benificial trade though.

MK II Bolt Rifle[]

Name Class Range ROF Dmg Pen Clp Rld Spl Wt Cost Avail
Bolt Rifle Basic 200m S/-/- 2d10+10 X 6 10 2Full Accurate*, Tearing 12kg 1500  Rare
The Mark II Bolt Rifle is the second of its kind and is a combination of the Standard issue Bolter and the Anti Armor Bolter. While it has a decrease in power compared to its anti armour counterpart it more than makes up for this with its ease of use. The Bolt Rifle does not need to be set up when fired and does not incur a penalty when fired without aiming. It is a favourite among snipers who can acctually afford it.
  • When using the aim action with this weapon for every degree of success to hit add an extra 1d10 damage up to a maximum of 3d10 extra damage

Anti-Armor Bolt Rifle[]

Name Class Range ROF Dmg Pen Clp Rld Spl Wt Cost Avail
Anti-Armor Bolt Rifle Basic 250m S/-/- 3d10+10 8 10 Full Accurate,Tearing, Felling(3), Proven (4) 15kg 2000 Very Rare
A long range, anti-tank bolter, the Anti-Armor Bolt Rifle, or AABR, can effectivly destroy armored targets at a range farther than a long las. The AABR uses larger bolts, called Devastator bolts, more densely packed with explosives, which are designed to enter the vehicle and, once inside, explode. It can also be used as an anti personnel rifle by equiping it with Ravager bolts.
The AABR can use two different rounds: Devastator bolts or Ravager bolts. Because of the tremendous recoil, it MUST be braced before fired, unless carried by someone wearing power armour or when prone. Failure to brace results in a Hard (-20) Strength test to stay standing or be knocked prone. Anyone who is attempting to hear the weapon shot (e.g. sentries) will hear it automatically unless there is greater noise around them. A suppresor CANNOT be fitted to this weapon and it includes a built-in bi-pod.

 Mark II pattern Heavy Bolter[]

Name Class Range ROF Dmg Pen Clp Rld Spl Wt Cost Avail
Heavy Bolter Heavy 150m -/-/10 2d10+3 X 5 100 2Full Tearing 50kg 2500 Very Rare
This enormous weapon fires a hail of fist-sized bolter rounds, granting it destructive power nearly equivalent to its Astartes counterpart. It is designed to be fired with massive shells making it deadly among those who can wield such a weapon. With a compact magazine the clip becomes 60.

Astartes Phobos Pattern Bolter[]

One of the oldest bolter patterns still used by the Adeptus Astartes, the Phobos is a finely made, long-barreled design intended for placing accurate shots at long ranges.

Astartes Umbra Pattern Bolter[]

A variant of the standard Umbra pattern, the Umbra Ferrox bolter incorporates an expanded box magazine and advanced targeting systems. It is often carried by Sternguard Veterans.
All shots fired from an Umbra Ferrox bolter count as benefiting from an Astartes Targeter (Deathwatch core rulebook, p. 174).

Exotic Weapons[]

Neural Shredder[]

Name Class Range ROF Dmg Pen Clp Rld Spl Wt Cost Avail
Neural Shredder Basic 20m S/-/- 2d10 E * 12 3Full Maximal, Spray, Warp Weapon, Special 4kg --- Near Unique
One of the signature weapon of the Callidus temple of Imperial Assassins, the Neural Shredder projects a wave of electromagnetic force that interferes with the central nervous system, causing massive and often fatal seizures. Because the blast of a neural shredder passes through inanimate objects, armor, vehicle plating, and even reinforced bunker walls offer no protection from it.
A Neural Shredder may be fired one-handed without penalty. Targets subtract their Willpower Bonus, rather than their Toughness Bonus, from the Neural Shredder's Damage. Targets struck by a Neural Shredder do not need to Test to avoid catching fire.

Animus Speculum[]

Name Class Range ROF Dmg Pen Clp Rld Spl Wt Cost Avail
Animus Speculum Basic 20m S/*/- 2d10+8 E * infinite N/A Warp Weapon, Special 15kg --- Near Unique
This bizarre helmet-mounted weapon is one of the signature tools of the Culexus Assassins. While the exact workings of the device are unknown, its effects are obvious: dark bolts of warp energy stream from the massive "eyepiece" of the weapon, causing immense damage to anything caught in their path. Because of the eldritch nature of this weapon, it is able to maintain a higher volume of fire in the presence of those with psychic abilities -- a perfect complement to the Culexus's role as a psyker-killer.
Under normal circumstances, the Animus Speculum can only fire single shots. However, if at least one character with a Psy Rating is within 20 meters, the Animus Speculum may fire a Semi-Auto Burst; the number of shots fired is equal to the number of characters with a Psy Rating within 20 meters of the assassin, plus one. For example, if the Culexus is attacking a coven of six witches, all of whom are within 20 meters, the Animus Speculum will fire a total of seven shots (and can score a maximum of seven hits, though the assassin is unlikely to accomplish such a feat!).

Bullseye[]

Name Class Range ROF Dmg Pen Clp Rld Spl Wt Cost Avail
Bullseye Basic 100m S/3/7 1d10+4 E 2 70 Full --- 4kg 1,000 Very Rare
Name Class Range ROF Dmg Pen Clp Rld Spl Wt Cost Avail
Homing Tag Basic 100m S/-/- N/A N/A 6 2Full --- N/A N/A N/A
This weapon has recently appeared without explanation in the hands of certain Imperial servants, leading many in the Inquisition and the Adeptus Mechanicus to question its origins. Some have suggested it was developed from recently-uncovered STC data, while others decry it as some form of reverse-engineered xenos technology.
A character wielding a Bullseye may elect to fire a homing tag rather than firing the weapon normally. Homing tags deal no damage, but if a target is hit by a homing tag, any subsequent Bullseye attacks made against that target will receive a +30 modifier to hit. Removing a homing tag is a Full action that requires a successful Strength test.
(Ammunition costs?)

Auger[]

Name Class Range ROF Dmg Pen Clp Rld Spl Wt Cost Avail
Auger Basic 120m S/2/5 1d10+3 E * 20 Full Warp Weapon 4.5kg 6,000 Very Rare
Like the Bullseye, the Auger has recently begun to appear in the hands of Imperial servants, with no explanations forthcoming as to its origins. It fires concentrated bursts of electromagnetic radiation that pass through most forms of physical protection and cause severe burns to organic tissue.
For no adequately-explored reason, the Auger also mounts a compact force field generator that runs along the same power circuit as the radiation emitter. While this barrier is active, the weapon cannot be fired, but the wielder reduces the damage of all incoming ranged attacks by 2d10 (roll separately for each attack). The force field will only remain active so long as the weapon is held in both hands. The force field generator is powered by a separate battery that provides enough power for one hour of continuous use; these batteries are Rare, have a base cost of 1,000 Thrones apiece, and are not rechargeable.

Banshee Mask[]

Name Class Range ROF Dmg Pen Clp Rld Spl Wt Cost Avail
Banshee Mask Pistol 20m S/-/- N/A N/A N/A N/A Spray, Special 1kg 6,000 Extremely Rare
This is a psychosonic amplifier incorporated into the helmet of a suit of Howling Banshee Aspect Armor. It turns the wearer's battle-cries into a banshee wail that overloads an opponent's nervous system and paralyzes him in a paroxysm of terror.
A Banshee Mask may be triggered either as a Half Action, or as a Free Action made in conjunction with a Charge action. The Banshee Mask deals no damage; instead, characters caught within its area of effect must make a Challenging (+0) Willpower Test (rather than the Agility Test normally made to avoid damage from a Spray weapon). On a failure, the character is Stunned for one Round, plus one additional Round for every two degrees of failure. Any character wearing a Banshee Mask is immune to these effects.
Because the Banshee Mask is incorporated into the helmet of a suit of Banshee armor, any character wearing a Banshee Mask counts as having six points of armor on the head. The Weight and Cost listed are for a Banshee Mask without the remainder of the armor; if the mask is acquired as part of a full suit of Howling Banshee Aspect Armor, these Weight and Cost values are ignored.

Starcannon[]

Name Class Range ROF Dmg Pen Clp Rld Spl Wt Cost Avail
Starcannon Heavy 120m S/3/- 2d10+10 E 8 24 4Full --- 40kg 16,000 Extremely Rare
While lacking the out-and-out firepower of an Imperial plasma cannon, the Eldar starcannon is both safer and more reliable than its human counterpart.
Starcannon are usually mounted on anti-gravity platforms; these have the Hoverer 5 and Auto-Stabilized traits, and always count as being vox-operated (see the Rogue Trader core rulebook).

The multiple laser chambers of the Eldar scatter laser allow it to scythe down enemy forces with grim efficiency.
Scatter lasers are usually mounted on anti-gravity platforms; these have the Hoverer 5 and Auto-Stabilized traits, and always count as being vox-operated (see the Rogue Trader core rulebook).

Dark Eldar Weapons[]

Name Class Range ROF Dmg Pen Clp Rld Spl Wt Cost Avail
Shardcarbine Basic 60m S/4/8 1d10+2 R 3 240 2Full Toxic (4) 2.5kg --- Extremely Rare
A modified version of the more common Dark Eldar splinter rifle, the shardcarbine sports a shorter, heavier barrel and trades range for a higher rate of fire. Because they are somewhat rarer than ordinary splinter rifles, shardcarbines are most often used by members of the Dark Eldar upper class, such as Trueborn and Scourges.

Splinter Cannon[]

Name Class Range ROF Dmg Pen Clp Rld Spl Wt Cost Avail
Splinter Cannon Heavy 120m -/-/10 1d10+5 R 4 400 2Full Tearing, Toxic (4) 8kg --- Extremely Rare
The splinter cannon is the largest infantry-portable splinter weapon in the Dark Eldar armory, and fires withering hails of toxic shards at incredible speed. Given the Dark Eldar's preference for fast-moving raids, the splinter cannon typically sports modifications allowing it to be fired on the move, and is almost always festooned with the wickedly sharp blades that are a hallmark of Dark Eldar design.
A splinter cannon always counts as being equipped with a suspensor. In melee combat, a splinter cannon counts as a mono-spear.

Blaster[]

Name Class Range ROF Dmg Pen Clp Rld Spl Wt Cost Avail

This compact weapon fires physics-defying beams of "darklight" capable of boring through even the thickest armor.
Lance (X): Whether via alien technology or sheer, overwhelming firepower, this weapon is capable of making a mockery of even the heaviest armor. It counts any Armor value higher than (X) as (X) for the purposes of dealing damage. For example, a Land Raider with Armor 50 would only count as Armor 35 against a weapon with the Lance (35) quality.

Condensing all the firepower of the blaster into a moderately bulky handgun, the blast pistol is easily one of the most destructive personal sidearms in the galaxy. Mercifully for its opponents, the blast pistol's compact design results in a drastically reduced range.
Lance (X): Whether via alien technology or sheer, overwhelming firepower, this weapon is capable of making a mockery of even the heaviest armor. It counts any Armor value higher than (X) as (X) for the purposes of dealing damage. For example, a Land Raider with Armor 50 would only count as Armor 35 against a weapon with the Lance (35) quality.

Rail Rifle Basic 150m S/-/- 2d10+5 R 8 10 Full Accurate 4.5kg (14.5kg)* 950 Rare
The Rail Rifle is a man-portable version of the vehicle mounted railguns used by the Tau. They use linear accelerator technology to propel a solid projectile at hypervelocity, allowing the round to punch through the thickest armors or pass straight through unarmourmed targets with devastating effects.
The advanced Target Lock built into each Rail Rifle identifies hostile targets and automatically calculates and adjusts for distance and environmental factors, giving the weapon the intimidating reputation of being able to shoot the eagle out of a commissar's hat. This grants an additional +10% BS when the Aim action is used, in addition to that already gained by being an Accurate weapon.
Requires a power pack (+10kg) which is worn as a backpack provides the power for the Rail Rifle, this comes with the Rail Rifle.

Power Weapons[]

The Black Death[]

Name Class Range Dmg Pen Spl Wt Cost Avail
The Black Death Melee --- 2d10+12 E 12 Balanced, Power Field, Tearing, Special 2.5kg --- Unique

A chainsword fitted with a powerful disruptor field from the Dark Age of Technology. No one knows who made this incredible tool of death, only that this blade can cut through anything given a few slashes, and will vanish if its current wielder dies. Some say that it was made by the God-Emperor himself millennia ago, and that to find it means you have been chosen worthy as a weilder. The only absolute thing about this pure black unadorned chainsword is that it is sure to bring down the might of the Emperor with every swing.

The power field coating this blade is so strong that it will stay active even in the contact of other power fields. This blade has a 50% chance of destroying another power weapon and a 100% surety of destroying any other weapon without the Power Field special quality.

Exotic Weapons[]

Phase Sword[]

Name Class Range Dmg Pen Spl Wt Cost Avail
Phase Sword Melee --- 1d10+5 E Special Power Field, Phase Weapon, Balanced 2kg --- Near Unique
Used almost exclusively by Callidus assassins, the Phase Sword is an extremely potent close-combat weapon. Capable of phasing through armor, it is said nothing can stop a Phase Blade from hitting its target. However, only a handful of these weapons exist, and they are essentially impossible to find on any market, black or otherwise.
Phase Weapon: Phase Weapons count as as Warp Weapons, except that a Phase Weapon also ignores protection from force fields.

Impact Hammer[]

Name Class Range Dmg Pen Spl Wt Cost Avail
Impact Hammer Melee --- 2d10+2 I 2 Concussive, Unwieldy 28kg 250 Scarce
In its most common form, the impact hammer is a high-pressure hydraulic piston that terminates in a heavy, robust metal cylinder, mounted inside a bulky support framework. When the device is placed against a solid surface and triggered, the hammer head slams into the surface with incredible force, while shock absorbers in the support framework prevent the user from feeling too much of the recoil (in theory, at any rate). Originally intended as a mining tool to smash rock, the impact hammer occasionally finds itself repurposed as a melee weapon by the desperate or the dreadfully unsubtle, and is a common weapon among pit fighters. The given weight of the weapon includes a 10kg backpack power source.
Due to the way it functions, the impact hammer does not add the user's Strength Bonus to its damage.

Hrud Weeping Blade[]

Weeping Blade Melee --- 1d10 R 3 Balanced, Toxic (2d10) 2kg 1350 Very Rare
Another example of the baleful Warp-technology of the Hrud, the Weeping Blade is a wickedly curved dagger or short sword that constantly drips an acidic, glowing venom. Seemingly distilled from the pure essence of the Warp itself, this terrible poison can scar and corrupt both the body and the soul.
A character affected by the Toxic trait of a Weeping Blade gains 1d5 Corruption Points in addition to any other effects.

Witchblade Melee --- 1d10+2 R 0 Special, Balanced, Power Field 4kg --- Extremely Rare
When wielded by an Eldar user with a Psy Rating, a Witchblade grants its user the Unnatural Strength (x3) Trait for the purposes of dealing Damage, and gains Penetration equal to the wielder's Psy Rating. It does not count as a force weapon. Human psykers are unable to make use of these abilities.
Due to their nature, Witchblades are never available for normal purchase, and must be acquired through the black market or from the Eldar themselves on a case-by-case basis.

Singing Spear[]

It does not count as a force weapon. After throwing a Singing Spear, the Eldar psyker may summon it back to his hand as a Free Action. Human psykers are unable to make use of these abilities. A Singing Spear requires two hands to use effectively in melee combat.

Mandiblasters[]

Mandiblasters Melee --- 1d10+6 E 2 Special N/A 6,000 Extremely Rare
Mandiblasters are short-ranged laser weapons mounted in pods on the sides of a Striking Scorpion Aspect Warrior's helmet. While strictly they are not melee weapons per se, they are all but useless at ranges greater than a meter, and are classed as melee weapons for simplicity's sake.
A character wearing mandiblasters may trigger them as a Free Action when engaged in melee. This is counted as firing a pistol in all respects (IE, the character must test Ballistic Skill to hit and does not receive the +30 bonus for being at point-blank range). Using mandiblasters does not interfere at all with any attacks a character might make with his hands.

Micro-charge[]

Name Weight Cost Avail
Micro-charge -10% 100 Scarce
A Micro-charge weapon has had its capacitors replaced with smaller variants or have had some capacitors simply removed. This reduces the weapon’s weight by 10%, increases its clip size to double normal, and reduces its damage by one die. If the weapon only does a single die of damage, then it is reduced to the next smallest size die (EG 1d10 -> 1d5). Weapons which only do a single d5 of damage may not have this upgrade applied - they are already using the smallest combat-capable capacitors.
Used With: All Las weaponry

Eisenhorn's companion and pilot Midas Betancore was known to use this type of needle. T

Adamantium Needles[]

Low Grade Ammunition[]

Name Cost/Amount Avail
Low Grade Ammunition Varies Varies
On every world in the Imperium where arms dealing is a lucrative business - essentially, on every world in the Imperium - there are those who attempt to undercut the competition by selling inferior product at a lower price. While this is common enough with the weapons themselves (represented by Poor-quality weaponry), cheaply-made ammunition is also available for those who prize quantity over quality. These range from arrows and crossbow bolts that are just a little too dull or a little too light, to bullets that don't have quite enough powder in the cartridge, to ill-advised attempts at mass-producing bolter shells.
Low Grade Ammunition costs half as much as normal for its type and increases its Availability by one step, but reduces the weapon's Damage by 1. It also reduces the weapon's Penetration by 1, to a minimum of 0.
Used with: All Solid Projectile, Bolt, Flame, and Primitive weapons.

Shotgun Slugs[]

Name Cost/Amount Avail

A bow firing a mono-arrow or a crossbow firing a mono-quarrel increases its Pen by 2 and loses the Primitive quality.
Used With: All bows and crossbows.
