#REDIRECT [[Chain Weapon#Chainsword]]
[[File:Chainsword06.jpg|right|thumb|A typical chainsword]]
 
The Chainsword is a fuckawesome melee weapon, heavily used by [[Imperium|Imperial]] forces, although the [[Eldar]], Orks, and [[Chaos Space Marines]] also field it.
Apperently in the 41st Mulenium chainsaws have been repurpaced for the use in hacking down people/aliens/things intead of hacking down trees.
As its name mentions, the chainsword is a twin-bladed weapon with a rotating chainsaw blade in-between, that's powered by a motor mounted on the hilt and activated with a trigger on the grip.
 
Although the chainsword is issued to virtually all [[Imperium]] forces, it is most famous with the [[Space Marines|Spehss mahreens]] who widely use the chainsword as the primary weapon of their assault troops and veteran soldiers.
 
==Variants==
The Chainsword also has several variants that has been by both the Imperial of man and Xenos. Here are some examples:
 
===Eviscerator===
An oversized chainsword used by the Ecclesiarchy's priests or by the Sister Repentia of the [[Sisters of Battle]]. The Eviscerator is twice the size of a regular chainsword and so heavy that a normal soldier will need to carry it using both hands. The Eviscerator might also incorporate an exterminator, a portable flame unit that will only help scare a normal man shitless upon seeing a man holding this thing. The Eviscerator is also extra effective against armored units.
 
===Scorpion Chainsword===
An Eldar variant of the Chainsword fielded by the Striking scorpions. It's like the Imperial Chainsword but incorporates advanced equipment that increases the wielder's strength and a sleeker, less bulky design. There is also a custom variant for the Striking scorpion Exarch named the Biting blade which is simply larger than the regular one.
 
===Chainaxe===
The custom weapon of Khornate champions. It's basically a huge axe with a powerful chainsaw as a blade. The sheer weight of the axe and the fact that most Khorne Chaos Marine champions are super strong and borderline psycopaths: these are capable of ripping through most infantry armors.
 
===Chainbrush===
The weapon of choice of the [[Adeptus Orthodontus]]. It's based as a spear with the blade being a consecrated toothbrush/chainsaw blade. It purifies even the most revolting of mouths from the forces of oral diseases.
 
===Chainfist===
Like the powerfist but mounts a powerful chainsaw blade instead of a giant, power-sheathed fist. The weapon is commonly used by Terminators as a CQC weapon and to rip the armor off Space Hulks during boarding actions but are also used by regular Space Marines.
 
===Choppa===
The [[choppa]] is the ork version of the chainsword. The weapon is a handheld chainsaw (though it sometimes takes the form of a sword or axe) used for almost anything.
