Chain Weapons - Chaos Chain Weapons: Chainaxe (Legion & Human Variants) - Combining the heft and fury of an axe with the terrible rending teeth of a chain weapon, the chainaxe is a favourite implement of many warriors. Heavy and brutal, they are the perfect messenger to inflict their user's righteous hate on their foes. The Roth-pattern Chainsword is one of the more common variants seen in the sector, used by both loyalists and heretics alike. The ancient Deimos-pattern Mark II Legion Chainaxe is much more powerful, drawing on the additional support from the wearer's Power Armour to drive the heavier chains at greater speeds.Chain Dagger - Small in size, these miniature weapons can easily be brought into play from hidden holsters. Their increased deadliness can literally give an edge in knife fights. This is a one-handed melee weapon.Chain Halberd - A rare variation more widely seen in underhive forces within the Calixis Sector, Chain Halberds feature a long staff with a double-sided Chainblade operating only towards the end of the weapon. They can be used as either a slashing or thrusting weapon, with the lighter weight from the smaller Chainblade allowing for more flexible defensive manoeuvres, the thrusting attacks preferred in the crowded and claustrophobic underhive passages. This is a two-handed melee weapon.Chain Hammer - Few but massive brutes can lift this weapon, let along use it in combat. It combines the heavy striking power of a great hammer with the terrible ripping action of a Chain Weapon, using multiple rows of spinning metal teeth projecting from the club-like head to tear apart flesh pulped in the smashing impact. This is a two-handed melee weapon.Chain Spear - Chain Spears combine reach with lethality. The end of each has a length of whirring serrated teeth, sometimes actually made from the sharpened teeth of the user's past victims, which are enough to cause even the slightest hit to become a spray of blood and torn flesh. This is a two-handed melee weapon.Chainsword (Legion & Human Variants) - As the name suggests, Chainswords are roughly sword-like in shape with a large flat housing containing the chain. Chainsword variants often used by Chaos followers often have the entire blade chassis opened to expose the chained teeth. This makes the weapon more dangerous to both user and victim, but for a truly dedicated warrior this is of little concern. Like all their weapons, the Chainswords used by Traitor Legion forces are longer and heavier, fit only to be carried by these mightiest of warriors.Phobos-Pattern Chain Greatsword - This huge two-handed weapon can run almost two meters in length, with a long grip and weighted pommel to allow for some semblance of balance in use. The chained teeth are exposed along the entire length, so that the user can swing it in both directions in combat more like a fl ail than a real sword. Originally used in Forge Polix as a tool for ripping apart large bulkheads and armour during construction, the tool was repurposed by warriors of Khorne who found it brutally effective on the battlefield. This is a two-handed melee weapon.Legion Chainfist - Perhaps the most devastating melee weapon commonly used by a Traitor Legion, a Chainfist combines the disruptive energies of a Power Fist with the rending strength of a chainblade. The huge gauntlet resembles a Power Fist with a short reinforced double chainblade extending from the glove. Too heavy even for Chaos Space Marines in Power Armour, only those wearing Terminator suits can operate such a weapon properly. Chainfists were originally designed for use in boarding actions, where they would be used to tear open voidcraft bulkheads or breach even the redoubtable of barricades. They have since been repurposed by Chaos Terminators, who use them to great effect against even the most heavily armoured adversaries. Each gauntlet is as bulky as a Power Fist and cannot be used for any but the most basic manipulative tasks (for example, one could not use a weapon or pick up a quill, but may be able to manipulate a heavy iron girder).Xerxes Arm-Mounted Chainblade - This ancient weapon design uses a Chainblade affixed to an integrated forearm covering an armoured gauntlet and power supply. Heavy and solid, it can tear open bunker doors or armoured chestplates while keeping the hand free to use a ranged weapon. This bulkier assembly bears resemblance to a crude Chainfist, scrapped together by Heretek denizens within the Screaming Vortex (one of two massive Warp Storms which separate the Calixis Sector of the Imperium from the Koronus Expanse). This is a one-handed melee weapon. Note: this weapon can be used while gripping another weapon in the same hand, however the wielder must choose the weapon with which he is attacking on a given turn.Impaler Chainglaive - An Impaler Chainglaive is a Chain Weapon that is the preferred close combat weapon wielded by a Chaos Space Marine Lord Discordant. It is essentially a long, Chainsword-like blade attached to the end of a spear shaft so that the user may have a farther reach when fighting from the back of the Daemon Engine known as a Helstalker.
