Regardless, this discussion is now going in more directions than it was when I got involved and it is 3am. I'm out for now.

Daemon Hammers are Unusual Force Weapons.

The application of another Weapon's rules is the same whether that other weapon is from the same category or a completely unique weapon type.

As to your curiosity: Yes; Kharn the Betrayer's Gorechild. Gorechild is an Unusual Power weapon(based on the Axe allowing Kharn to hit on 2+s and add an extra d6 to armour pen rolls) that is also defined as a Power Axe.



azreal13: As I said at the end of that post I am not weighing in any further either way about Master crafting causing a power/force weapon to become unusual(if you want to know my opinion look to the last correspondence between myself and Brother Ramses about 2 pages back).

I am also not extrapolating from a rule that fits similar criteria in the assertion that a Weapon type is a set of special rules in and of itself; I am taking 2 rules that are exactly the same an applying them in the exact same manner(Unusual Force and Unusual Power weapons are exactly the same, and the Daemon Hammer uses the Thunder Hammer rules in exactly the same manner as the Crozius is a Power Maul, whether is has unique rules or not)
