What would a demon infused nuclear weapon be like? Asking for a friend.

Lets say a bunch of cursed servo skull went around making daemon infused weapons, see Enemies Beyond, what would it be like if they stumbled onto a nuclear bomb or 50 in a ships armory?

Ever seen Adventure time? "The Lich" was a demon infused nuclear weapon, I'm sure there's a video of his bomb exploding.

If I were to guess, damage-wise it would be a typical bomb. Maybe make it a warp weapon that cuts through things more cleanly.

The biggest change, however, would be that it spreads massive doses of corruption instead of radiation. People become demonic warp spawn rather than tumor filled.

The DH1 sourcebook Creatures Anathema has a daemonic battlecruiser called 'The Eye of the Abyss' that fires daemonically possessed torpedos. When they hit another ship, instead of just exploding, they burrow into the ship and walk around inside it, using warp energy to dissolve stuff.

Is your friend the slightly deranged tech-priest who is giggling like a madman next to you? lol.

id also imagine the color of the blast would change based on what demon was inside. Not to mention i would be really careful around any shadows of people it leaves behind.

Daemon weapons are known for being very durable. This one is exceptionally durable. It's so durable that the warheads shell won't be damaged by anything. Not even the warhead itself going off can do anything to damage the shell :D

Is it onboard the ship?

If so then things bad start to occur - like "lots" of daily industrial accidents / deaths

Babies are born still born onboard

Maybe the crews food though technically still good tastes like puke

Maybe the "bomb" holds the ship for hostage via avionics / computer read outs and gauge values (sort of like interpreting the code); whereby it wants to go somewhere specific and unload - if not taken there it begins a countdown while onboard LMFAO

Think about all that bad wierd, creepy, deadly stuff that "supposedly" in RL happens to people when they are plagued by the devil (i.e. like the old film the exorcist - events happened to the priests in their personal lives outside of the victim's home)

More along the lines of bad luck at minimum to gross vulgar displays (like my bomb hostage idea above) - theres nothing to talk to nothing to fight its a maligned force you can't fight but must contend with and survive...

Stay GAMING

Morbid

EXTRA

Maybe the BOMB sends Sarah Conner like dreams about being blown up to the whole crew - so all the weak minded aboard want ot mutiny eventually as time progresses along with the BOMB onboard...

Another idea - from Fallout - maybe the BOMB causes "fleshy" normal human types to worship it (forget the AdMech - maybe they learn to hate it instead at the same time causing strife aka chaos!)

Maybe a BOMB is soo bad it haunts the ship with the victims "to come" (i.e. the future victim "ghosts")

"Comedy" Maybe the Bomb cause the main AdMech "person" to ride it when launched ala Dr.Strangelove ROTFL!!!

(Sorry cant help but say - maybe all the admech types have gladiatorial combat to see who's worthy to ride the bomb down ROTFL)

What kind of daemon is inside the nuke ?

Some examples:

- Nurgle daemon: The 'nuke' sprays out waves of filth, covering everything in the area. Each wave is a mix of diseases that will infect anything living and decomposition bacteria that will cause anything dead to rot quickly. The diseases that don't infect anyone die quickly, giving plenty of organic material to rot. The byproduct of the rotting organic material is highly acidic, which will destroy anything under it.

- Slaanesh daemon: The 'nuke' starts flashing and playing music. Anything that can move can't help but start moving in time to the beat, making it stronger. It builds to an earthquake that doesn't stop until the dancers die.

- Tzeentch daemon: It never goes off, as the person who thinks that he is in control of the nuke keeps coming up with plans that he thinks will get him what he wants without having to use it. So he keeps it somewhere close and keeps making sacrifices towards it, just in case he ever needs to use it.

- Khorne: It grows blades and starts spinning. The blades keep getting bigger, cutting through anything they touch like it's not there. Once they are big enough you can see that the blades have their own blades growing off them. And those blades have their own smaller blades, and so on like a fractal.

So, like a strategic-level Groovitron?

Something like that. But a lot more energetic and with buildings falling down as the dancers hit their resonance frequency.
