===Combi-Needler===
[[File:CombiNeedlerPict.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Combi-Needler]]

A weapon used by the [[Daemonhunters|Ordo Malleus]]. A Bolter with a Needler integrated within it, intended to be used against creatures like [[Daemons|daemons]] that are extremely difficult to injure. This Combi-weapon is used only by the [[Inquisitors]] and [[Acolyte|Acolytes]] of the [[Ordo Malleus]] as the materials and expertise needed to craft these weapons is difficult and hard to acquire. A variant of this Combi-weapon also serves as the primary weapon of [[Eversor Assassin|Eversor Assassins]].

The Combi-Needler is used by non-assassins and it is a relatively easy to manufacture weapon in contrast to the Executioner Pistol. Of course, as a Needler, it is a pain in the ass to shoot the damn thing, [[derp|making it the most overcomplicated trainwreck ever made]]. Seriously try shooting the Needler right after dealing with the recoil of the Bolter ''whilst'' factoring in the dual laser-needle combo conundrum.

===Condemner Boltgun===

Also called the Combi-Stake Crossbow. Used by Ordo Hereticus and Sisters of Battle, this is a bolter combined with one-use crossbow. The cool point is that the crossbow bolt is filled with a mix of holy promethium and some anti-psychic shit produced by the Golden Throne.

So a direct hit from the crossbow component of the Condemnor Bolter will therefore not only deal a severe physical wound to an enemy psyker, it will also send his or her power spiraling out of control, consuming the user in a storm of untrammeled psychic energy. So it's not only going to burn the witch's body, but also burn down his very soul (which is crunch wise auto-peril to any psyker target).

On tabletop, it counts as a master-crafted weapon with 24″ range. Its stats is Rapid Fire 1, S4, Ap-1, 1 Damage, 3 Damage plus the additional auto-peril vs. Psykers as aforementioned.

===Executioner Pistol===
[[File:Executioner_Pistol.png|200px|right|thumb|Executioner Pistol]]

Used by [[Eversor]] assassins, this is (in DH) a combi-needle pistol, or (in [[WH40k]]) a pistol that fires [[What|poisonous needle shaped bolt rounds.]] As a result, the Assassin can fire both explosive Bolts or needles composed of a crystallised neurotoxin, sedative or interrogation narcotic into his victim, as the situation demands. The weapon's Needle Pistol toxins are so potent that whenever a target is hit by a shot it kills the victim almost outright.

It is this versatility, combined with the exquisite craftsmanship of every Executor Pistol, that makes it such a popular choice for one of the Imperium’s sanctioned assassins. The weapon incorporates the heights of arcane tech-lore in its construction. It possesses a bi-stabilized targeting sight, and its polymorphic grip is genetically coded to the individual Assassin. Thus, even if an opponent were somehow to gain control of an Executor Pistol, he would be unable to fire it. Changing the weapon’s programming to recognize a different user requires access to secret Officio Assassinorum facilities, something that is almost impossible even for most members of the Inquisition.

The weapon is counted as a 12" Pistol 4 with S4 AP-1 D1 and re-rolls failed wounds against INFANTRY.

===Needlespine Blaster===
[[File:Needlespine_Blaster.PNG|200px|right|thumb|Needlespine Blaster]]
Used by the [[Adamus]] assassins. The Needlespine Blaster is the slightly larger brother of the Executioner Pistol, sporting a Needler at the top and a Bolt Pistol at the bottom. In terms of function, it is quite similar to that of the Executioner Pistol as both of them are essentially a form of combi-needlers. The biggest difference is that the Needlespine Blaster's scope is unusually on the side of the gun, rather at the top.

Given the close-range nature of the Adamus, the weapon would inadvertently be constantly compared to the Executioner Pistol because of how much these two share the same niche. It can be argued that the Needlespine, being the bigger, heavier gun, would offer more range than the Executioner at the expanse of it being harder to handle. But it is only speculation for now.
