Are their force weapons besides the force sword and ancient force sword?
I know that the TT game has a force axe and force staff. Can these be found in Owlcat's version?

The psyker has an ability that synergizes with force weapons, but so far my research has only turned up 2 options, and both are swords. Any knowledge out there on this?

Bump for buried. Trying to make some long-term build decisions. I would love to get the 10% crit boost for axes from the Death World Homeworld option.

No, at least not right now. Just those for Force Swords.

Thank you! Disappointing. I hope they add more.

It actually shouldn't work with Force Axes as they are not primitive weapons.

I have not seen any yet, but Power Hammers, Power Fists and Force Axes are staple weapons in Warhammer, and all are Force weapons.

Power Axes, Force one are very exotic weapons (Force weapons = psykers thing).

At least I could confirm that Power Hammers are in game :)

Does the thunder hammer count for the Psyker talent "Blade of Light"? It seems to be for 'force' weapons, not 'power' weapons, but maybe I'm confused and it works for both.

There seems to be a distinction between 'power' weapons and 'force' weapons. Do both work for "Blade of Light"?

Only force.

Thanks, that's what I thought. I hope they add more than 2 force weapons at some point.

If the skill is called "Blade of Light" then it has to be for bladed weapons only, namely swords.
Otherwise it would be very poorly named.
Psyker weapons tend indeed to be only Staves, Swords and Axes. Librarians also have the Crozius, which can be a staff or a scepter.

You are playing the grimdark wizard, afterall, so you pay for those powers with less access to significant arsenal choices, otherwise you would be just a strictly better martial class.

P.S.: Crozius Arcanum are commonly wielded by Chaplains, not Librarians. Librarians have Force staves.

I'd like to see force axes for synergy with the Death World homeworld since they get a crit chance bonus with axes and bleeding.

its a shame the singing spear in the game is classed as primitive, not even power when it should be a force weapon by tabletop standards
