{{Topquote|Listen up, ya grots an' squigs! Dey'z comin' for us like we'z some kinda humie gitz! But we ain't! We're da Orks, and dis is gonna be one GREAT FIGHT! So get yer choppas and yer shootas ready, boyz, 'cos dere's some killin' ta do!|Gorgutz rallies the troops, Dawn of War: Dark Crusade}}

'''Gorgutz 'Ead 'Unter''' is an [[Ork]] [[bloodaxe]] [[Warboss]]-turned-[[Warlordz|Warlord]], and one of the primary recurring characters of [[Dawn of War]], having featured in every expansion since his introduction in [[Dawn of War#Winter Assault|Winter Assault]] and making a big return in [[Dawn of War III]]. Because he was such a big hit the first time, he is the leader of the Ork faction in each expansion. While not short of [[Gork|traditional Ork virtues]], Gorgutz is [[Mork|unusually crafty for an Ork]], and always ensures he has some method of escaping in the event that whatever [[WAAAGH]] he is leading happens to be defeated, conveniently reappearing some time later at the head of another WAAAGH (and in another expansion) somewhere else in the galaxy. He and Kaptin Bluddflagg are probably tied with Ghazghkull for the most fucking awesome Ork characters ever.

Gorgutz takes the appellation "'Ead 'Unter" thanks to his fondness for collecting the decapitated heads of significant foes. When questioned why he collects his foes' heads, he replied that heads look better impaled upon sharp sticks than feet do. A true philosophical genius.

As listening to any of his dialogue would probably indicate, Gorgutz is also exceptionally witty, which must surely be frustrating when the overwhelming majority of the company he keeps isn’t clever enough to understand, or appreciate, his wordplay. If he still had hands capable of such a precise gesture, you just know he’d be rubbing his temples and muttering “I’m surrounded by gitz.” He probably relishes fighting more intelligent races just as much for a chance at some proper verbal sparring as much as for the fight itself.

It is worth noting that Gorgutz was voiced by Brian Drummond. Who is notable as the voice of [[Anime|Vegeta in Dragonball Z]] and is the creator of [[Meme|OVER 9000]]!! Whether this is hilariously awesome or fail is a matter of some contention, though [[/tg/|experts]] espouse that it's both (and thus both fail ''and'' hilariously awesome). Fittingly enough, Gorgutz' HP does indeed go over 9000 when he's upgraded with wargear, which is either a [[This Guy|clever reference]] or [[That Guy|derp]] depending on who you ask.

And now, as of Dawn of war 3, Gorgutz is canonically the victor of Soul Storm. WAAAAAGH! indeed. He ends up being the one who gets the Spear of Khaine at the end of Dawn of War 3. However, the status on how ''true'' that is (Especially giving the sheer unreliability of WH40K fluff with the whole 'everything is propaganda and subjective in nature' shlick) has caused an immense of [[Skub]] and [[Rage]] among [[Vance Stubbs]] fans.

Hilariously, Michael Dobson, who voiced [[Crull]] in Winter Assault also provided the voice for Nappa in DBZ, so you have Nappa and Vegeta back together screaming threats and insults at one another via proxy.

==On the Issue on Dawn of War 3==
[[File:ORKZ ARE DA BEST.png|thumb|right|If you listen closely, you can hear the outrage of countless [[Vance Motherfucking Stubbs]] fans.]]

As mentioned, [[Dawn of War III]] has been a cauldron of [[Skub]], [[Rage]], [[Butthurt]] and [[Wat]] wrapped in one nice package. Some people take issue with Gorgutz's depiction in the game, saying that he should not be serving another Warboss, asking why he doesn't have an empire, saying he should not have left his empire if he did have one and that there's no way the Magpies could've survived if he won.

Dawn of War III does answer why all of this happens however, as it states that he did win, but left Kaurava (which he calls a dump and doesn't seem to care for at all) to go find other things to steal, as he stopped caring about Kaurava the second he learned that Acheron exists. He also started working for another Warboss specifically so that he could backstab him and take his forces. The question of why he doesn't bring his own empire with him to Acheron, or why he didn't just challenge Gitstompa in the first place is only answered with 'he didn't want to' but considering that these are the Orks, and that everything Gorgutz does is dictated by 'what Gorgutz wants', it's not as much of an ass-pull as it would be for anyone else.

==Anuvva retelling==
[[Image:Gorgutz Closeup.png|thumb|right|WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!]]
Gorgutz was da biggest and da strongest Ork on dat dere iceworld of Lorn V and he thought it would be fun to smash up dose spiky boy [[Chaos]] gits. Just as he wuz getting started on dat dough dem scrawny [[Imperial_Guard|Imperial Guard]] boyz showed up an’ Gorgutz realised dat deir leada had enough [[General_Sturnn|Grit]] ta make a much better head fur ‘is pointy-stick. 'As to be the 'ead as dat is where tha skull iz, and you’d look pretty stupid with someones foot on yer stik.

Tings went quite well, dere was some good fighting and poncy [[Eldar]] and some of dose [[Necron]]-boyz showed up to get deir stompin’ but dere were not enuff heads on Gorgutz’s stik so he decided to head for Kronos.

''(According to the plotline for Dawn of War: Dark Crusade General Alexander was sent to Kronus in pursuit of Farseer Taldeer. This means Gorgutz did not get her head and probably did not get General Sturnn’s or Alexander would have had that as a second reason for the pursuit. He did get Crull's skull, though, because Eliphas wanted to take it back from him. It's complicating still, because both Taldeer's and Sturnn's heads can be seen on a pointy fence sticks just outside his base.)''

Kronus wuz fun. Not only were dere more pointy Chaos boyz to fight, dere were also [[Space Marines]] and some of those [[Tau]] wusses. Wuz great fun watching a Squiggoth and a Greata Knarlox 'avin' a fight. Dose Eldar came back, an' dere was more Necron boyz to fight. Only problem wuz dat some of those Imperial Guard wimps had followed and Gorgutz had enuff normal humie heds already. Den dose Space Marines spoiled the fun more by beating up da Imperial Guard insteda leaving dem for Gorgutz’s boyz and den by being rather too good at beating up Gorgutz’s boyz as well. 'ad to blow up da base and go froo da tunnels.

''(According to the plotline for Dawn of War II it was the Blood Ravens who attacked and conquered Victory Bay and as the Kronus Campaign is remembered as going well and their goal of recovering relics seemed to have been achieved the Blood Ravens likely won on Kronos. Boo. At least Gorgutz had a little fun.)''

Dere were some super tough Orks on a planet in the Kor-ruvva system but dey were da ones dat kept on running back to dere Ork-hold in sum mountains whenevva dey got a little beat up. Gorgutz decided to go and see if they could be made more Orky. Dis was a mixed success as all-dough dey managed to beat up sum Space Marine gitz de Imperial Guard boyz were ravva tuff an’ had a lot of dem big dakka tanks. Still, if dose Orks could be beaten up by humies dey were not much loss so after killing their leada' Gorgutz wandered off to find da next fight.

''(According to the plotline for Dawn of War II the Blood Ravens remember [[Indrick_Boreale|Commander Boreale's]] campaign in the Kaurava system with shame, which they would if rather than the Blood Ravens dealing with the Ork problem the Orks dealt with them. [[Vance_Motherfucking_Stubbs|Vance Stubbs]] though shipped a hundred [[Baneblade|Baneblades]] to other provinces, which makes about 4 for every territory on the map and even De mighty Gorgutz could only beat up three at a time, which left the other one to beat up the rest of his army, unless dose tankbustaz boys were in da right places. Which they were, given that Gorgutz is the canon winner.)''

Gorgutz never reappeared in Dawn of War II, having been replaced by two Warboss Bonesmasha's, and then the Kunnin' Kaptin Bluddflagg. We can only hope that Gorgutz hires out Kaptin Bluddflagg in Dawn of War III. On that note, there's no word on Bluddflagg yet, but Dawn of War III has been announced. Guess who'z back, ya grots and squigs! Dawn of War III revealed that he's coming back along with Gabriel Angelos and Farseer Macha, and with all three races supposedly having their own story play out through the campaign you can already count on ol' Gorgutz completely stealing the show. Also, it seems that he is now a Bad Moon, replaced his regular Ork Power Klaw with what looks like a [[Defiler|Defiler's]] [[Awesome|close combat weapon]] <strike>and has evidently re-grown his left hand</strike> I NEVA LOST MY LEFT ARM IT WAS UNDER ARMUR YA GROTZ ZOGGING 'ELL I FOUGT DAT STUPID WAZ DA ONLY GIT I AD TA DEAL WIV., or at the very least got a cybork replacement.

== Combat Ability ==
[[Image:GORGUTZ 'EAD 'UNTER.png|thumb|right|His DoW 3 Appearance.]]
When Gorgutz gets all his wargear in Dark Crusade and Soulstorm he is absolutely fucking deadly in combat as he has an absolutely FUCKHUEG hit point count (somewhat bigger in Dark Crusade than in Soulstorm as his Banner increased his health in the former game but not the latter) which can be made even larger by getting the tougher bosses upgrade, he will be ridiculously fast (for someone with such stubby legs like him any way), do FUCKHUEG amounts of damage to all armor types in melee, deal huge amounts of damage at range (270 something per hit... that is if he could hit while moving... damn 15% on the move accuracy), does constant Morale damage with his skull rack and will count as two Waaagh! Banners with the banner (duh), but in Soulstorm he will also decrease the recruiting time of your units, which is awesome as it allows you to crank out Orks more quickly.

Gorgutz is capable of beating any-other fully-upgraded commander in Dawn of War with five exceptions: Either Necron Lord, should they take Lightning Field, Will do the bulk of Gorgutz' meaty damage back to him and ergo fuck Gorgutz' shit up (especially if he has Phylactery as well) and he can simply obliterate Gorgutz if he uses the essence of the Nightbringer ((Actually the fully upgraded necron lord will pretty easily kill pretty much any of the other commanders in a fair fight, especially with the right artifacts, and especially in soulstorm where he becomes even more ridiculously overpowered)), and [[Eliphas]] is capable of flat-out demolishing even Gorgutz due to his knockback immunity and access to Daemonic strength and higher raw damage. [[Firaeveus Carron|Carron]] isn't quite as capable of fucking up Gorgutz' shit, because he isn't as powerful in melee (Eliphas is ''considerably'' stronger damage-wise, in exchange for Carron being able to inflict a lot more morale damage), but he can still mess Gorgutz up, coming away with slightly more HP at the end of a fight between the two (again, knockdown immunity). In a raw range-vs-range fight, Gorgutz can beat [[Shas'o Kais]] if he has his Kustom Shoota if Kais lacks upgrades, but will lose to him if he has either the launcher or Iridium Armor, and will reliably get utterly trashed in ranged combat by [[Commander Or'es'Ka]].

Ironically, the Daemon Prince forms of both Carron and Eliphas are incapable of defeating Gorgutz in close-combat due to Gorgutz' high anti-Daemon damage. Finally, [[Caerys]] in Soulstorm is capable of being a cheesy cunt, since her upgraded pistol can one-shot kill Gorgutz if he gets under 20% HP, which makes sense considering it [[Eldrad|belonged to a huge dick]]. Of course, if you are lucky you can kill her before it ever gets to that.

He will be able to practically steamroll entire bases on his own and will be an excellent commander killer, and in a pinch he can really help out when you take on those pesky relic units. He has two indestructible modes, ranged and attached to Flash Gitz, or melee and attached to Nobs. Both are totally rapetastic.

Chain Weapon

2019-06-08T05:02:45Z

2600:2B00:8A0F:B200:2891:D23A:57D5:6564: /* Chainblade */

[[File:Chainsword06.jpg|180px|right|thumb|A typically poor rendition of a chainsword - as you can see, the housing surrounds the teeth, which would interfere with penetration (but would allow it to parry). Still dangerous though.]]

{{Topquote|Problems? '''Problems?''' There is no problem I cannot solve with this...|Commander Mad Chainsaw Johnson of the [[White Scars]], [[White Dwarf|White Dwarf 93]]}}

A Chain weapon is a fuck-awesome melee weapon, heavily used by [[Imperium|Imperial]] forces, although variants are fielded by the [[Eldar]], [[Ork]]s, and [[Chaos Space Marines]].

Apparently in the 41st Millennium, chainsaws have been re-purposed for hacking down things/aliens/people instead of simply harvesting lumber. By far the most common Chain weapon is the chainsword.

As its name implies, the chainsword is a 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. Of course, the sheer manliness in this weapon makes it pretty damn heavy, so it's actually really fucking awesome. But since almost all the users of it have some combination of power armor, bionics, or natural strength to swing them around, the weight is a lot less of an issue.

Although the chainsword is issued to virtually all forces of the [[Imperium]], 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.

The standard chainsword used to have the same rules as any other close-combat weapon. Which is dumb, considering most of the fluff describes it as cutting through armour with ease, even Terminator armour, with some additional effort. [[Derp|Because a giant chainsaw does as much damage as a combat knife.]] 8e changed it up a bit, though- while it still doesn't do more damage than a basic close combat weapon, it does grant a bonus attack. This (along with its low point cost) makes it a good choice of melee weapon when the quantity of your attacks matters more than their quality (e.g. against [[Hormagaunt]] swarms and mobs of [[Ork]] Boyz).

==Imperial Variants==
The Chainsword also has several variants that have been developed by both the Imperium of Man and Xenos. Here are some examples:

===Chainblade===
[[File:ChainBladeBolter.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Chainblade]]

The smallest known Chainweapon.

These weapons are small enough to be considered as an attachment to most rifles. As such it is a smaller Chain bayonet that is attached to a Bolter and utilized as a close-combat weapon during assaults. Although, to be honest, it seems more practical to just have a large, sharpened serrated blade than a gas-guzzling weapon that will become useless once it runs out of fuel, and seeing how small the weapon (and thus, fuel supply) is, its gonna run out of fuel relatively quickly.

Basically it was the lancer assault rifle from Gears of War before Gears of War even existed.

===Chainsword===
[[File:Imperial_Chainsword.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Chainsword]]
A chainsword is just a chainsaw with a sword grip. Most versions make use of monomolecular-edged or otherwise razor sharp teeth.

Like many examples of human invention, the chainsword’s many variants seem to have their roots in the shrouded heresies of the Dark Age of Technology. Some in /tg/ like to speculate that it was some AdMech Priest who had mistaken a weirdly designed Chainsaw for a sword, unfortunately official fluff dictates that it saw consistent use in the armored fists of techno-barbarians during the Age of Strife, and among the Emperor’s own armies during his [[Thunder Warriors]]’ conquest of Terra during the Unification Wars.

But whilst Techpriests debate on the origin of the Chainsword, a particularly amusing theory surface that states it was an [[Heresy|inspiration stolen from]] [[Eldar|an alien race,]] [[War in Heaven|in a war that may never be remembered.]] [[Troll|If this theorem ever bears fruit, it is distinctly possible that the galaxy’s first wielders of chainswords were the prissy armored warriors of the ancient Eldar,]] [[Not As Planned|not us Humans.]]

There are multiple varieties of Chainsword such as the '''Ironfang Chainsword''', which is a variant of the chainsword created to allow human heretics to approximate the deadly blows of a Legion chainsword, this variant features a thick, bladed area with chained teeth nearly twice the width of an ordinary chainsword, and powered by a backpack-mounted fuel supply. Its greater tearing strength and weighted nose allow it to deal viciously violent heavy slashing blows. Needless to say, this weapon is heavy - 12 kilograms in weight, complete with power supply - and unbalanced, ie. a very heavy ''regular'' chainsaw.

===Frost Blade===
[[File:FrostBlade.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Frost Blade]]

A unique Chainsword and possibly one of the only ones that could actually cut anything worth a damn rather than bludgeoning the enemies of man to death. The Frost Blade is yet, [[Mary Sue|another special weapon and equipment exclusive to the]] [[Space Wolves]].

Like the Frost Axe, each blade is hand-crafted by a Master [[Iron Priest]], and many incorporate the diamond-hard fangs of the Fenrisian Ice Kraken. They are highly sought after and in the skilled hands of a Space Marine they can be comparable in effect to most Power Weapons.

In the legends of the chapter, the finest Frost Blades are made of ice harvested from the heart of a glacier, and then [[Wat|tempered inside a Kraken's belly.]]

===Heavy Chainblade/Chainsword===
[[File:Heavy_Chainblade_HH.JPG|200px|right|thumb|Heavy Chainsword]]
The Eviscerator's pussy brother, the Heavy Chainblade is a massive chainsword, significantly larger than one of the standard chainswords but far weaker than an actual Eviscerator, possibly because it was meant more for construction than combat. This also made it to it's combat stats, instead of the Eviscerator's manly SX2, AP2 with Armourbane, it's a weak S+2 AP4, with no additional bonuses (and being two-handed as well, so forget using it to get another attack). About the only thing it has on the Eviscerator is that it's not so huge that it's unwieldy.

Being used mainly by the Mechanicum in the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy, it's unsurprising these seem to have mostly fallen out of favour in the 41st millennium, given how everyone seems to have swapped to the Eviscerator.

Not to be confused with the similarly named "Heavy Chainsword", used by the Legions Astartes, an even wimpier version that shares the same profile except for being AP 5 instead of AP 4. These also seem to have fallen out of favour when the Eviscerator rolled around, much to nobody's surprise.

</gallery>

===Eviscerator===
[[File:Evisercator.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Eviscerator]]
Chainsword but ECKS BAWKS HUEG. Used by the Ecclesiarchy's priests and by the [[Sisters Repentia]] of the [[Sisters of Battle]] (as well as Chapter Master [[Gabriel Seth|Gabriel 'IN THE BALLS' Seth]]). Most recently however, Eviscerators have found their way into the hand of 7E assault marine sergeants, because meltabombs just weren't enough.

The Eviscerator is twice the size of a regular chainsword and so heavy that a normal soldier will need to wield it using both hands. The Eviscerator might also incorporate an exterminator, a portable flame unit that will not only help it breach armor, but also scare the fuck out of any normal man upon seeing a whacked up priest/nun swinging a fucking huge flaming sword-chainsaw. The Eviscerator is also extra effective against armored units.

In some works the Eviscerator is described as having a disruptor field weaker than those of energy weapons, which still helps carving through ceramite.

===Chain Spear===
[[File:Chain_Spear.PNG|200px|right|thumb|Chain Spear]]

Another long-range Chainweapon.

Similarly to the chain glaive, this weapon combines reach with lethality, mounting a chainsaw-bladed length at the end of a long haft, ensuring that jabs and thrusts can tear open flesh with the lightest touch whilst keeping the wielder out of harm's way, in contrast to the chain glaive whose curved blade and hilt aims for a more slashing and cutting motion to dismember enemies from a distance.

According to ''Tome of Blood'', some variants actually sport the [[Wat|sharpened teeth of the bearer's former victims as the cutting edges, which are enough to cause even the slightest hit to become a spray of blood and torn flesh. ]].

===Chainfist===
[[image:Chainfist.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Chainfist]]
Intended to assist Terminators' not stellar mobility when involved in boarding actions, the Chainfist is a [[Power weapon|Power Fist]] that incorporates a powerful chainsaw blade for the purposes of slicing through armored bulkheads. The weapon is commonly used by Terminators both as a CQC weapon and a convenient tool to cut themselves a way through the average [[Space Hulk]]'s too small doors/walls/ceilings/floors... during boarding actions. Of course, since it can penetrate thick metal with little trouble, it's also often used for ripping open enemy vehicles and bunkers.

The reason it's so effective is simple: the powerfist's energy field also encompasses the chainblade. That's right, the chainfist effectively marries a chainsword and power fist. Remember how a regular power sword cuts most stuff like a hot knife through butter? Now bring a chainsaw with hot knives for teeth into this butter world, ''wear it like a glove'' and that's how a chainfist feels. That's just plain scary. If anything, it's like hitting a target with a power sword at [[Fist of the North Star|40 strikes per second]], so that the powerfield weakens the target and then the teeth hack it away. The alternative is having a static piece of metal that is still cutting, but just not as efficiently.

The easiest way to use a chainfist in combat is to wield it like a Tonfa. As its mounted just under the left wrist parallel to the arm.

===Dreadnought Chainfist===
[[File:DreadCF.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Dreadnought Chainfist]]

A Chainfist but fuckhueg.

In the Imperium, a Dreadnought Chainfist can exclusively be found attached to the Ironclad Dreadnought, although more vanilla Dreadnoughts are able to wield one if given the proper modifications. Unlike the smaller Chainfist which are used to open blastdoors, the Dreadnoughts use theirs to open tank hulls. This arm consists of a massive chainsaw shaped to fit a dreadnought power fist. This is a devastating weapon capable of tearing apart infantry and light armor.

The Forces of Chaos also makes use of Dreadnought-sized Chainfists, more specifically the force of [[Khorne]] due to its brutal blood-grinding method of destruction. It is not uncommon to see a World Eaters or other Khornate dreadnought equipped with dual Chainfists for maximum [[RIP AND TEAR]].
{{clear}}

===Reaper Chainfist===
[[File:Reaper_Chainfist_of_the_Knight_Acheron.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Reaper Chainfist]]

A chainfist but really [[Rape|ECKS BAWKS HUEG]].

The Reaper Chainfist is a weapon used by the Cerastus Knight-Acheron. Usually carried on the Knight's right weapon arm, the Reaper Chainfist is employed alongside the Acheron's Acheron-Pattern Flame Cannons as a weapon of extermination used to inspire fear in the foe.

The Reaper Chainfist is actually a set of two Chain Weapons linked together, with each one spinning in opposite directions to maximize damage. The blades are capable of tearing through both armor and fortified walls with ease.

The weapon also features a built-in set of twin-linked Heavy Bolters to be used against infantry when the Knight needs to conserve fuel for its Flame Cannon, these Bolters are often used as a last resort or when the Knight really wants something dead in its tracks.

{{clear}}

===Reaper Chainsword===
[[image:ReaperChainsword2.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Reaper Chainsword]]

The standard superheavy weapon in the Chain Weaponry, the Reaper Chainsword is the main weapon of most models of [[Imperial Knight]]. Unlike most Chainweapons you see here, it was originally designed as a Logging device for feudal colonists (You know, like modern chainsaws), though only the height of three men, the Reaper's adamantine teeth are no less deadly and thus, also works incredibly well as a massive melee weapon.

The Chainsword can be swung with all the power of the Knight's servo-motors, the Reaper is capable of cleaving through practically anything, from the thick ferrocrete walls of a defensive bunker and capable of carving open a Super-Heavy Tank with a single blow.

===Titan Chainfist===
[[File:Rtchainfist1.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Titan Chainfist]]

The big daddy-o of the Chainfist family. The Titan Chainfist takes the form of a large chainsaw attachment like the Chainfist, but on a gigantic scale. Thanks to the available power from the Titan's massive plasma reactor, Titan-grade Chainfists are also equipped with a secondary Melta Array, to soften up the target while cutting through it.

The Reaver Titan is the biggest user of these weapons.

Crunchwise, they are similiar to the Titan Power Fist, at Sx2 AP-5 10 D. However it can also cause -1 to hit. However, any to wound roll of 6 where a VEHICLE, MONSTER, or BUILDING is targeted deals 2D6 extra mortal wounds. Remember that void shields do not work against melee attacks, so against Titans and Titan-equivalents that lack melee weapons those Mortal Wounds can be a a big deal.

{{clear}}

==Chaos Variants==

Chaos use a overwhelmingly amount of chain weapons in contrast to power weapons. The majority of these users are [[Khorne|Khornate warbands]] and seeing how GW has a [[Waifu|unhealthy obsession with Khorne,]] you can see why. The majority of chain weapons of Chaos originally came from the Imperium, so it is unsurprising to see some old Imperial worlds to still incorporate these weapons in its armories. Its just that the force of Chaos has re-appropriated it for Chaos needs.

===Tzaangor Chainsword===
[[File:Tzaangor_Blades.JPG|200px|right|thumb|Tzaangor Chainswords]]
Unique Chainswords made specifically for the Tzaangors of the Thousand Sons.

These blades are warped by the sorcerous and psychic nature of their home planet of Sortiarius. With their savage nature, a Tzaangor would hack apart even power armor with sheer ferocious speed from their blades.

On tabletop, Tzaangor Chainswords are basically your typical Chainswords, its just best to stick with your Tzaangor Blades as it is just that but with an additional AP-1. No need to switch for a largely inferior weapon.

{{Clear}}

===Chainaxe===
[[image:Chainaxe.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Chainaxe]]
Imagine doomguy but a weapon. Yes, Warhammer has chainsaw axes, as insane it sounds. The custom weapon of [[Khorne|Khornate]] champions, the Chainaxe was a fairly common weapon among Imperial troops pre-[[Horus Heresy|heresy]]. It's basically a huge axe with a powerful chainsaw as a blade. Pre-heresy it was practically standard issue among the [[World Eaters]]. The sheer weight of the axe and the fact that most Khorne Chaos Marine champions are super strong and completely fucking nuts ensures these will tear through most infantry armor.

It's wielded by non-Khornate Chaos Marines as well, due to the greater damage it inflicts, but mostly because of the showers of gore they call "wounds" - represented in 40k rules by being AP4, a straight upgrade from a regular chainsword and the woe of anyone not wearing power armour. Among Imperial forces, a chain-axe is most likely to be seen in the hands of a [[Space Wolves|Space Wolf]] or a [[Raven Guard]] - the former due to the fact that they just don't give a flying fuck that it might associate them with Chaos, and the latter due to the fact that they mostly have older equipment due to infrequent resupplies. They are also very common among [[Flesh Tearers]] because they basically [[Heresy|already are]] a Khornate cult.

===Chainscythe===
[[File:Manreaper_Chain-Power_Scythe_Hybrid.PNG|200px|right|thumb|Chainscythe]]

A even more unconventional and unwieldy weapon than the Power Scythe.

The Chainscythe is both a incredibly rare and extremely difficult to wield. It is telling that only one unit from oldschool [[Necromunda]] was seen carrying this thing around.
It is only seen wielded by the [[Spyrer]] Matriarchs, this variant of the chainglaive mounts the blade at a horizontal angle to the tip of the shaft.

Seriously though, how the hell do you fight with this thing? Not only does it share the same stupid profile of all chainweapons (That is the metal piece mounted on the blades are interfering with its cutting power), but it also shares the same awkward handle of a scythe. Try and hit someone with that thing, there is a reason why warscythes have their blades turned 90 degrees upwards like halberd to increase chances of it actually hitting anything.

Certain [[Death Guard]] [[Deathshroud|Deathshrouds]] are known to use a special hybrid variant of a Power Scythe with chain teeth. Similar to the Chainfist, these specially modified Manreaper Scythes combine the disruptive nature of a power weapon with the raw and savage cutting power of a chain weapon. [[Mortarion|Ol'Morty]]'s own personal Manreaper ''"Silence"'' also incorporates chain teeth, but at a lesser extant.

File:Chainscythe.PNG
</gallery>

===Chain Glaive===
[[image:Chain_Glaive.PNG|200px|right|thumb|Chain Glaive]]

Also known as Chain Halberds, the Chainglaive is an evolution of the Chainaxe, giving it a longer blade and haft allowing for wide, sweeping strikes capable of rending power armour without much trouble. It's used extensively by Vanguard Marines and Chaos close-combat specialists. An ancient design by modern standards, it's by no means common, and sees use primarily with the traitor legions due to this (particularly with the [[Night Lords]], who had always favored its use).

They are also used by Rough Riders as a secondary or even primary weapon due to the weapon's reach and strength. These weapons come in a startling variety based on the sundry Forge Worlds and eras in which they were manufactured, but all are extremely deadly.

{{clear}}

===Chain Hammer===
[[File:Chain_Hammer.PNG|200px|right|thumb|Chain Hammer]]

Another rare and obscure Chainweapon.

Chainaxe not insane enough for you? [[Black Crusade]] introduces the chain Hammer, a massive, normally two-handed weapon shaped into either a maul outfitted with multiple rows of spinning metal teeth on the club-like head, or four chainaxe heads fused into a shape of a maul which can both rip apart flesh and smash bone into pulp with the brutal impact of this insane weapon.

Chain hammers are known to be used by orks and the pit brutes of Kurse in the Screaming Vortex. Powered versions capable of splitting Power Armour were also wielded by the Accusators of the Black Judges.

It is as ridiculous as it sounds.

===Chaos Dreadnought Chainfist===
[[FIle:Chaos_DredChainfist.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Chaos Dreadnought Chainfist]]

A Chainaxe upscaled to a Dreadnought for all your Khornate needs.

The Chaos Dreadnought Chainfist is similar to the one found on Imperial Castraferrum Pattern Dreadnoughts such as the Ironclad Dreadnought. The Chaos variant is covered in dark, runic symbols of the Dark Tongue and macabre ornamentation.

These weapons are favoured by Chaos Space Marines who follow the [[Chaos God]] [[Khorne]]. Khornate Berzerker Dreadnoughts usually are armed with two Dreadnought Chainfists, one on each of its weapon arms. The weapon is outfitted with a hull-mounted twin-linked Bolter, a Combi-Bolter, a Heavy Flamer, or in the case of captured or recently turned Dreadnoughts, a Storm Bolter.

The Chaos version can be differentiated by its more pronounced cutting teeth.

The Contemptor Dreadnought also has its own variant. The weapon looks as if a standard Asatartes Chainsword has been used to replace one of the Power Fist's fingers, unlike the Dreadnought Chain Fist used by the Castraferrum Pattern Dreadnought, which takes up the entire weapon arm. Like most Contemptor Dreadnought Close Combat Weapons the Contemptor Chainfist is also armed with a Combi-Bolter slotted within its palm.

===Chaos Dreadnought Pincer Claw===
[[File:Pincer_Claw_Dread.png|200px|right|thumb|Chaos Dreadnought Pincer Claw]]

A very oldschool weapon that shows its age.

The Chaos Dreadnought Pincer Claw is a variant of the Dreadnought Chainfist, and consists of a pincer-like double Chain Weapon. These weapons are known to be found on Chaos Dreadnoughts that are dedicated to the Chaos God [[Slaanesh]], such as Sonic Dreadnoughts.

The shape of the weapon indicates a heavy influence from Slaaneshi Daemon Weapons. Seeing how pincer weapons are as pronounced in Slaanesh as Chainaxes are the staple of Khorne, this isn't that surprising.

Thus, it could be assume that the Emperor's Children merely took inspiration to their new master and fashioned their Dreadnoughts with a weapon that makes them visually closer to the Daemons of Slaanesh. [[Grimdark|Of course, being a Dreadnought, they are incapable of feeling the emotions and pleasure whilst stuck perpetually inside a tank.]] [[Troll|So the Dreadnought ends up raging in despair...much to the amusement of Slaanesh he/her/itself.]]

The Pincer Claw is designed to grab its prey and slowly mutilate its victims, however as an actual weapon for warfare, it is relatively poor. It is unable to effectively parry other like-minded weapons and its design makes it poor as both a cutting and bludgeoning weapon.

No wonder why this thing has not seen the light of day.

===Khornate Assault Claw===
[[File:Khornate_Assault_Claw.png|200px|right|thumb|Khornate Assault Claw]]

In no way should it be confused with the [[Drop Pod#Kharybdis Assault Claw|Kharybdis Assault Claw.]]

The Chaos Dreadnought Chainfist given a even more Khornate upgrade.

The Khornate Assault Claw is a variant of the standard Contemptor Claw, and is used by Chaos Contemptor Pattern Dreadnoughts dedicated to the Chaos God of blood and war, Khorne. The Khornate Assault Claw replaces the standard Power Claw's fingers with miniature Chain Weapons, making it especially devastating against infantry.

Like most Contemptor Dreadnought Close Combat Weapons the Contemptor Chain Fist is also armed with a Combi-Bolter slotted within its palm. The weapon could also be outfitted with a twin-linked Bolter during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy-era, or in the case of recently captured or reequipped Dreadnoughts a Storm Bolter.

The Khornate Assault Claw looks like a much more up-to-date and practical weapon than the Slaaneshi Dreadnought Pincer Claw.

===Brass Scorpion Pincer Claw===
[[File:Pincer_Claws.JPG|200px|right|thumb|Brass Scorpion Pincer Claw]]

The giant Pincer Claws found on the [[Brass Scorpion]].

Each of these claws are fully capable of tearing armored vehicles into pieces and wiping out entire infantry squads in one fell sweep. The creature's claws are protected on their outer sides by large Warp-forged alloy shields.

When the beast places its claws in front of itself, these shields are able to protect its entire body from harm. The Claws also feature three large in-built Chain Weapons, allowing them to cause even more damage during combat. There also exist variants of the Brass Scorpion outfitted with massive spinning blades instead of pincers.

===Great Cleaver of Khorne===
[[File:Great_Cleaver_of_Khorne.JPG|200px|right|thumb|Great Cleaver of Khorne]]

Axe of Khorne on acid or a Chain Axe that has overfed on growth hormones.

A Great Cleaver of Khorne is a Daemon Weapon in the form of a massive Chainaxe that is wielded by the [[Lord of Skulls]] and [[Kytan]] Daemon Engine. Like the Lord of Skulls that wields it, the Great Cleaver of Khorne is festooned with the remains of its victims, their skulls forever trapped within. The weapon is large enough that the Lord of Skulls can make use of it as easily as if it was a normal-sized melee weapon, and is capable of tearing apart tanks as if they were human heads. The Great Cleaver is fully capable of cutting entire vehicles into pieces and taking out entire groups of infantry. It is a weapon forged from murder and rage -- and it delivers the very same to its victims.

When activated, the Great Cleaver will erupt with eldritch power, the teeth rotating so fast as to become a blurred edge.

This is [[RIP AND TEAR]] INCARNATE!

==Eldar Variants==

===Scorpion Chainsword===
[[image:Eldar_Scorpion_Chainsword.png|right|200px|thumb|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 incorporates a sleeker, less bulky design.

There's been fluff that suggests they are actually a '''lot''' more advanced than Imperial chainswords, consisting of a heavily serrated 41st millennium mono-molecular blade which doesn't whirl around most of the time. Rather, upon hitting an opponent, and the blade gets stuck in their body/armor, THAT's when it goes all chainsaw, ripping armor and people apart and ensuring that the blade doesn't ever get stuck in someone; it'll either go through them or at least rip whatever it's stuck in enough to be pulled out.

===Chainsabre===
[[File:Dragon's_Tooth_Chainsaber.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Chainsabre, ''Dragon's Tooth'']]
One of the Scorpion Exarch's unique variation of the Scorpion Chainsword. Chainsabres are unique weaponry used by Striking Scorpion Exarchs. These Chainswords are paired with ancient gauntlets which incorporate twin-linked [[Shuriken Catapult|Shuriken Pistols.]] Exarchs who use these weapons train to wield two of them at once, allowing them to level an unrelenting storm of attacks upon their opponent.

On the tabletop 8th edition, the Chainsabres are two one-handed chain weapons that can [[Fist_of_the_North_Star|land a truly staggering amount of blows on a target]]. In melee they function the exact same as the Scorpion Chainsword, though these will grant another melee attack and have the Shuriken Pistol profile for your ranged attacks. Considered the most versatile of the bunch.

===Biting Blade===
[[File:Biting_Blade.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Biting Blade]]
One of the Scorpion Exarch's unique variation of the Scorpion Chainsword. Essentially the Eldar copy of the Eviscerator. Biting Blades are large, two-handed, long-bladed Chainswords reminiscent of the massive Eviscerators used by zealots within the Imperium. However, where Imperial Eviscerators are heavy, noisy machines, Biting Blades are slender and quiet, but no less deadly for their relatively light weight. The advanced monomolecular-edged teeth of the blade tear through flesh as though it were parchment and equally shred bone and armor, easily cleaving a man-size target in two.

On the tabletop, the Biting Blade is a massive two-handed weapon whose effectiveness increases as a target is hit. Basically it is a two handed Chainsword that bumps up to S+2 (S5) AP-1 and 2 D compared to the run of the mill Scorpion Chainsword. The least expensive of the Exarch's selections, but it also costs him both his pistol and Scorpion Chainsword to use.

==Ork Variants==

===Chain Choppa===
[[image:Chainchoppa.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Chain Choppa]]
The Chain 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. Really, you name it. In a pinch it can stand in for anything ranging from a weapon to a household tool.

Regular garden variety [[Ork_Boy|Ork Boyz]] rarely have these weapons, while richer Orks like the [[Warboss]] or a [[Nob]] might have it because it's killy and flash. Many are simply war trophies picked up from loyalist and traitor Space Marines.

===Big Chain Choppa===
[[File:OrkChainAxe.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Big Chain Choppa]]
The Chain Hammer of the Ork Horde.

Sometimes simply called the Ork Chainaxe. It is basically a Big Choppa with a motor system attached to it. Like the smaller Chain Choppa, certain Orks prefer this over the average Big Choppa due to the amount or carnage it can spew out.

The sheer size and relative complexity in making one means that only the biggest, strongest and wealthiest Orks could purchase one, like Nobs, Meganobs, Warbosses and Warlords. Like most Ork weapons, there are no standardization for the Big Chain Choppa.
{{clear}}

===Crusha===
[[File:OrkCrusha.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Crusha]]

''[[Derp|Not to be confused with the similarly named]] [[Miscellaneous Klose Kombat Weapons#Krusha|Krusha]]''

The Ork's Dreadnought Chainfist.

An oversized set of mechanical Chain Klaws which may or may not be the unholy lovechild of a Dread Klaw and a Chain Choppa.

The Crushas are basically the little brother of the Klaw of Gork/Mork and are meant to rip apart armored opponents with its pneumatic strength and powered piercing pincers. Whether they are actually Power Weapons is not known. What is known is that they feature a built-in Chain Weapon on the Klaws which can enable the Deff Dread to both capture and rip apart enemies at the same time.

Despite this, they are grouped all under the Killa Kan/Deff Dread Close Combat Weapons and thus, all share the same profile of a Dread Klaw/Kan Klaw (Depending on the walker using them). [[Derp|Which means that this non-Power Weapons share the same function as an ''actual'' Power Weapon.]] Although at the very least, the Crusha could at least be hand waved to function like the Chainfist.

===Mega-Choppa===
[[File:Mega-Choppa.PNG|200px|right|thumb|Mega-Choppa]]
The Orks saw the Imperium's Titan-sized Chainfists and proceeded to one-up them in both [[/d/|length, size and ''girth''.]]

A giant ECKSBAWKSHUEG Chainsword that are mounted only on biggest Ork walkers - from Stompas to Gargants and to see one in action is to witness a truly apocalyptic scene. These Mega-Choppas are designed to grind and rip apart enemy Titans with several swoops.

On tabletop, the Mega-Choppa is a Stompa's go-to carving weapon. It comes with 2 attack profiles. The first one is '''Smash''' which double's a Stompa's strength. Has a -5 AP. Causes 6 wounds per hit. Double S is inconsequential as there is nothing with T10. 6 wounds guaranteed are nice if you need exactly that, but more attacks are usually better. So you might want to use it for -5AP mostly.

The second attack profile is '''Slash''' which is only user-Strength, with a somehow lower AP than a Power Klaw (-2 as opposed to a klaw's -3), does D3 wounds per hit instead of the Smash's 6, BUT it lets you make 3 hit rolls for each Attack.

== Notable Chainweapons ==

[[File:Torchlight chainswords by LaithArkham.jpg|left|thumb|300px|The mêlée weaponry of the 41st millennium offer a variety of implements for violently lacerating the opposition]]

'''Storm's Teeth''' - Take [[Berserk|Gut's]] DragonSlayer, turn it into a Chainsword, and then make it Bigger so only a [[Primarch]] can use it. Thats Storm's Teeth. Used by [[Rogal Dorn]] himself, it was said to be Dorn's favored weapon and is what he used against <s>[[Alpharius]]</s> some random Legionary. He also broke it when he found the Emperor barely alive after his duel with Horus, but that's fine since its remains would be used to create the sword used by the Black Templars High Marshal.

'''Frostfang''' - An ancient chainsword used by [[Ragnar Blackmane]]. The techniques used to make it were kept a secret by Fergus Forgrim to his deathbed so no one knows how it was made, because it's not like that could have been important or helpful later, right?

'''Gorefather and Gorechild''' - <s>THE BEST WEAPONS IN THE WHOLE OF 40K</s> {{BLAM}} {{BLAM}} {{BLAM|''DOUBLE HERESY!''}}Two chainaxes used by [[Angron]] during the [[Great Crusade]] and [[Horus Heresy]]. The teeth of these weapons came from a [[Awesome|MOTHERFUCKING MICA-DRAGON]], and are lubricated by [[Khorne|BLOOD]] (these weapons are so metal, they bring envy to the [[Iron Hands]] and [[Iron Warriors]]). Gorechild is currently being used by that [[Kharn|Swell guy]], and Gorefather <s>is nowhere to be seen, but it might show up again</s> was sadly destroyed on Armatura during the Great Crusade.

'''Teeth of Terra''' - Origin unknown, and with a tendency to show up in possession of many different chapters and disappear just as quickly, the Teeth of Terra is an ancient chainsword with obsidian teeth. It strikes hard and deep and allows the bearer to swing in huge, sweeping arcs.

'''Blood Reaver''' - An Eviscerator wielded by [[Gabriel Seth]]. Because nothing says [[rip and tear]] like a fuckheug chainsword, and the Flesh Tearers are masters of that particular craft.

Miscellaneous Weapons

2019-06-08T04:52:05Z

2600:2B00:8A0F:B200:2891:D23A:57D5:6564: /* Heavy Rock Saw */

Miscellaneous Weapons are weapons that do not fit one particular category or another. These weapons are either obscure or behave differently by function. All of them aren't what you call standard issue firearms and the majority of them are some sort of melee weapon, thrown weapon or a combination of both.

==Imperium==
===Bolas===
[[File:Dhcr-135-bolas.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Bolas]]

A primitive thrown and restraining weapon. Bolas are normally non-lethal (Doesn't mean they can't be changed into [[FATAL|spike balls or explosive pellets]]) and as such are usually employed by bounty hunters or local law enforcement members, where the swirling balls can entangle a target with heavy cords of wire. They can be found all over the galaxy and some styles use up to eight balls.

Due to its mundane nature and utility, Bolas never get to be seen in actual military engagements because the likelihood of you successfully restraining a important target in the middle of a war zone is as likely as you getting chosen to become part of the [[Adeptus Custodes]]. Even in terms of law enforcement, there are much better weapons at restraining a target such as the [[Webber|Webbers]] and certain [[Arc Weaponry|Arc Weapons]] whose charge has been set to stun. Thus, Bolas is only seen being wielded by the most desperate or primitive of societies.

===Sling===
[[File:Rb1-75-sling.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Sling]]

A Sling is a primitive weapon that makes [[Bow Weaponry|Bows and Arrows]] look advance and sophisticated by comparison. Slings are used primarily on feral or primitive worlds. They can be made with any piece of material or leather and simply require momentum provided by the user to launch the projectile. It is commonly used during riots and demonstrations and the ammunition can range anywhere from rocks picked off the ground to specialized metallic balls or even grenades.

Furthermore, Slings have a [[Skub|completely different and ''some may say'' overly-complicated way of shooting/throwing the projectile.]] Unlike Bows and Firearms, Slings depends on the momentum a person swings this weapon overhead in either a clockwise or anti-clockwise motion, before launching the projectile in a forward motion akin to throwing a grenade or your arms acting like a catapult. As you can imagine, accuracy and aiming this thing is a pain in the ass, but when this thing hits, '''''it hits hard''''' for something of such a humble technological background.

===Neuro Gauntlet===
[[File:Neuro_Gauntlet.JPG|200px|right|thumb|Neuro Gauntlet]]

The Neuro Gauntlet is a specialized weapon only used by the Eversor Assassins of the Imperium of Man's Officio Assassinorum. The weapon is a glove or gauntlet comprised of a hyper-alloy glove whose fingers end in sharp hypodermic needles that inject a potent neurotoxin into the Assassin's victim.

When the glove strikes an opponent, the needles immediately inject their toxin into the person's bloodstream. The lethal effect is almost instantaneous and causes a horrifically painful death as the victim is completely paralyzed while his organ systems shut down one by one. These toxins will work on Warp entities like daemons, but they are a great deal less effective against such creatures.

In effect, it is similar to the [[Needler]] in terms of killing the target with poison, although it lacks the secondary laser gimmick.

===Narthecium===
[[File:AST_Hagen_Pattern_Narthecium.png|200px|right|thumb|Narthecium]]

More of a medical tool than a weapon.

The iconic Narthecium of the Apothecaries is a tool which most people can recognize but few can pronounce let alone remember the name. As the Narthecium is a medical field kit, it contains the necessary tools to treat wounded Marines and get them back into action as quickly as possible. Included in the standard kit are:

*Anti-venoms;
*Stim-packs;
*Healing agents;
*Sterile clay for sealing wounds;
*A Carnifex (No, not ''THAT'' [[Carnifex]], remember it means 'butcher') for euthanizing fatally injured Marines;
*Reductor (carbon alloy): a tool for extracting the Progenoid organs (gene-seed) from fallen Marines.

Other components may include a chainblade and an apothicarion drill for piercing armor. The Deep Bore version lowers the placement of the chainblade, and replace it with a saw-disc. The main focus of this version is the drill for piercing armor and retrieving gene-seed as quickly as possible. The Hagen pattern drill is larger and stronger, designed to be able to work on Terminator armor as well as standard Space Marine armor.

Its more Primaris-friendly and pistol relative is the [[Reductor Pistol]]. The more Orky equivalent is the 'Urty Syringe.

===Tarsus Buckler===
[[File:Tarsus_Buckler.JPG|200px|right|thumb|Tarsus Buckler]]
You know how in [[Dark Souls]], small shields have this special ability that allows a small window of opportunity to parry an opponent, leaving him/her vulnerable to a critical hit which can cause [[Meme|MASSIVE DAMAGE?]] Yeah, imagine that on a [[Adeptus Custodes|9 foot tall golden death machine]] and you got yourselves a Tarsus Buckler. The Tarsus Buckler is the primary 'defense' equipment for the [[Venatari|Custodian Venatari.]] You noticed how we put in defense in quotations? Well that's because this small pint-sized shield is so [[Awesome|awesome]] that it can also function as a makeshift weapon as well.

Oh yes, those pointy tips at the end of the buckler ain't for show. With a simple jab with the fist, a Venatari can turn a shield into a painful and quite lethal caestus, able to create deep cuts, stab wounds and a broken face. On tabletop, the Buckler is ''designed'' at destroying GEQs. Like the Power Talon, this is a Str 6 Ap-2 melee weapon but 1 damage will limit the variety of opponents this can go up against. However, the reason you want to take this is for a) the [[Kinetic Destroyer|kinetic destroyer]] (a two-shot S6 ap-2 D2 pistol with 18" range and what is basically a Volkite rule), and b) the fact that they reduce weapons of Ap-1 to Ap 0, limiting the consequences of having only a 3+/4++ save.

We ain't sure whether this is considered a [[Power weapon]] or not, as there is no description specifying a power source. We can just conclude that it is made of some damned fine materials.

===Heavy Rock Drill===
[[File:Heavy_Rock_Drill.JPG|200px|right|thumb|Heavy Rock Drill]]

The Heavy Rock Drill is a type of construction and mining equipment used by the Imperium. However it can also be utilized as a weapon, most notably by Genestealer Cults. The heavy rock drill is modified by the hybrids so it can be carried into battle as a weapon '''''and''''' it can only be used ''by'' Hybrids due to requiring three arms and all. Its triple grinders can turn even the stoutest enemy champion to gory gobbets of flesh.

In terms of crunch, the Heavy Rock Drill is a 1 damage Power Fist. However, it doesn't have -1 to hit and it can inflict up to 5 extra mortal wounds on a successful wound. Pretty decent in handling tough targets especially if it successfully wounds them on the table.

In a nutshell, its a baby and civilian friendly Siege Drill.
{{clear}}

===Heavy Rock Cutter===
[[File:Heavy_Rock_Cutter.JPG|200px|right|thumb|Heavy Rock Cutter]]

The Heavy Rock Cutter is a type of construction and mining equipment used by the Imperium. However it can also be utilized as a weapon, most notably by Genestealer Cults. The hydraulic shears of heavy rock cutters were [[Noblebright|designed to free trapped mine workers from industrial accidents.]] When the cult rises up, however, their irresistible grip is used not to save, but to kill.

Still, despite its place in a Genestealer Cult, one must wonder how truly effective these cutters are when your basic Genestealer claw is sharp enough to carve up Terminator Armor into Swiss cheese.

On tabletop, the Heavy Rock Cutter is a Double Strength, AP-4 and two damage weapon which may sound fantastic, but that's not all. If you successfully damage a non-VEHICLE target, beat its remaining wounds on a D6 and [[Fist of the North Star|it dies instantly.]] Goodbye Ogryns, Tyranid Warriors, Terminators and characters.
{{clear}}

===Heavy Rock Saw===
[[File:Heavy_Rock_Saw.JPG|200px|right|thumb|Heavy Rock Saw]]

Essentially a hand-held Power Saw.

The Heavy Rock Saw is a type of construction and mining equipment used by the Imperium. However it can also be utilized as a weapon, most notably by Genestealer Cults. The blades of the heavy rock saw are designed to cut through dense boulders of ore – when the time of war comes, they slice through the hulls of enemy vehicles easily.

Due to the fact that a circular saw has less moving parts than a Chainsword and thus, is less susceptible to frequent jamming and snagging from the chain teeth, not to mention it is far more durable than any type of Chainsaw, one wonders why the Imperium haven't just swap out their chain weapons for circular saws. [[Derp|Heck even the Orks have noted on how beastly circular saws are in comparison to chainweapons and have incorporated it into their armory]]. I mean yeah, sure, a Chainsword has a longer reach and it is ergonomically much easier to handle, but what's the point of these advantages if you are carrying a weapon that can easily jam, snag and needs to have its teeth replaced by the end of every single battle? It's just not cost-effective in comparison to a singular large blade that is sharp enough to cut through concrete and steel like a sponge cake. You don't see the average chainsaw being able to cut through concrete and steel on a daily basis am I right?

In 8th edition, the Heavy Rock Saw is the same as the Heavy Rock Cutter, but minus the instant-kill ability and the -1 to hit roll. They are real saws, '''''[[Awesome|the manly saws]]''''' that make chainswords look like pool noodles. Stick a [[Genestealer Primus|Primus]] nearby for effective 2+ to hit shenanigans.
{{clear}}

===Mechadendrite===
[[File:Mechadendrite.JPG|200px|right|thumb|Mechadendrite]]

Humorously called the Noodly Appendage.

More of a tool than a weapon, although it doesn't stop the Techpriests from improvising. A Mechadendrite is a catchall name that covers a variety of tendril-like prosthetics used by [[Enginseer|Enginseers]] and other members of the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]]. It assists in manipulation of objects, micro-construction, maintenance, research and defense. It is connected to the central nervous system of the Techpriest, and so is controlled through thought just like a biological limb.

Mechadendrites are constructed from metallic alloys and have small motors and actuators within their armored structures. They are usually longer than the Techpriest's natural limbs and are with multiple joints (simulating mechanical tentacles) to allow maximum reach and flexibility. Members of the Adeptus Mechanicus from the Enginseer rank and above are known to have mechadendrites, and although they may often only have one fitted, one could have as many mechadendrites as the body will support.

Servitors can also have mechadendrites to assist the Enginseer they are assigned to.

Mechatendrils, the Chaos version only gets a paltry two extra attacks at the users's strength. Along with a back mounted Meltagun and Flamer. A strange instance where the older version isn't superior to its newer counterpart.
The Mecanicus Machinator Array gives its user two additional Power Axe hits plus a Flamer and an Inferno pistol. Since Tech Priests enhancements give them the ability to carry two weapons. This is just icing on the cake during close combat. Quite brutal if paired with [[Radium Weaponry|Rad Weapons]] and the "traditional" Power Weapon.

{{clear}}

===Servo-Arm===
[[File:Servo-Arm_of_Iron_Priest.jpg|150px|right|thumb|Servo-Arm]]

The bigger version of the Mechadendrite.

A Servo-arm is used by Space Marine Techmarines and Enginseers of the Adeptus Mechanicus to help repair damaged vehicles on the battlefield. Likewise, since it acts like an additional appendage, it can carry or hold up massive equipment whilst more delicate machines can be used to repair much more fragile technologies. It can also be used as a devastating weapon in close combat as its hydraulics and synthetic muscle is more than enough to crack open a human skull.

[[Tl;dr]], it functions a lot like a hydraulic claw, or those forklift claws from Aliens' Power Loaders. Able to easily lift many kilos and even tons of materials in spaces too small and cramp for even a Forklift or a Sentinel Power-Lifter.

On tabletop, the Servo-Arm can be found in both the Mechanicus' and Space Marine's army list. It's a one power fist attack (including -1 to hit) with 1 worse AP but flat D3. For Enginseers and Servitors in the Mechanicum and Techpriests in the Adeptus Astartes. There are much better weapons anyways, so you shouldn't really care about these things unless you really want that particular target die a humiliating way.

===Servo-Harness===
[[File:Mech-arm-pack-solo-800x500.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Servo-Harness]]

When you want to cosplay as [[/co/|Doc Ock]] or because four limbs are better than three. While Mechadendrites are good enough for lower rank Tech Priests and Servo Arms for newbie [[Techmarines]]s. Space Marines Forgemasters decided something less complex than the mecha tentacles would be better for mass production and repairs on some Omnissiah forsaken planet. With tools that double as secondary guns.

[[Tl;dr]], its a mobile and miniature shrine to the Omnissiah, and it really shows.

A Servo-Harness grants a Techmarine two additional Power Fists attacks to back up their Power Weapon during melee. It also mounts a Flamer and a Plasma Cutter. The latter is an Assault 1 [[Plasma Pistol]] mounted on a Servo Arm. Making the pistol quite redundant. Though who takes a handgun when they can have a Combi-weapon?

All this gear, plus their own self modified Artificer Armor and Servitor meat shields makes just one Techmarine a force to be reckoned with.

===Charonite Claws===
[[File:Charonite_Claws.JPG|200px|right|thumb|Charonite Claws]]

The [[Heresy|Semi-Heretical]] weapons of [[Xenos]] origin dating back during the [[Age of Strife]].

The [[Ogryn#Ogryn Charonites|Ogryn Charonites]] derive their name from their powerful main weapon, the Charonite Claws. These were heavily constructed servo-claws and matched augmentic implants designed to amplify and take advantage of an Ogryn's already formidable strength and physical stature. Charonite Claws needed to be surgically implanted, which meant that an Ogryn needed to have both his hands and forearms amputated in order to use them.

Charonite Claws emerged in the early days of the [[Great Crusade]] as powerful weapons intended for use in the murderous confines of shipboard combat. Armed in this way, an Ogryn could crush flesh, and even bulkheads, and rip through armour and ceramite plate with ease. If an Ogryn Charonite could gain purchase with both his claws, they were designed to retract apart from each other with flesh-rending force, savagely dismembering their victims.

It can be safe to assume that these weapons have been mothballed or destroyed by the AdMech ever since the [[Horus Heresy]].

===Hydraulic Claw===
[[File:HydraulicClaw.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Hydraulic Claw]]

''NOT'' a Power Weapon.

Hydraulic Claws are a type of weapon used by the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]]. Usually mounted on [[Kataphron Battle Servitors]], these weapons are driven not only by powerful pistons, but also sanctified oils that are collected, drip by drip, from God-Machines at rest. The Tech-Priests’ belief is that in maintaining this process, they confer some of the Titan’s strength to their servitors. One who has witnessed the ruin wrought by a hydraulic claw will be hard pressed to refute it.

Despite its name, it is no way related a normal industrial hydraulic claw, as these things are ''definitely'' designed to crush skulls of heretics and xenos alike. Seriously, look at those talons, you ain't gonna handle fragile cargo in a safe manner like that.

On tabletop, the Hydraulic Claw is essentially a power fist with less armor penetration. The weapon isn't bad, what is bad is the Breacher it is mounted on: what it gains in chance to wound it loses in chance to hit, and its meager AP doesn't let it capitalize on the D3 damage (which is the actual strength of power fists, not their strength). Barely better than the Arc Claw, but it also costs double.
{{clear}}

===Powerlifter===
[[File:Powerlifter.JPG|200px|right|thumb|Powerlifter]]

Another weapon that is ''NOT'' a Power Weapon, [[Pretend|despite its name.]]

The Powerlifter is a device used on Imperial Guard [[Sentinel|Sentinels]]. The Powerlifter consists of a pair of strong hydraulic claws, easily capable of crushing a man. Despite this, the Powerlifter is most often used for logistical and hauling duties. The Powerlifter is also equipped with a counterweight mounted on the rear to prevent the Sentinel from tipping forward when it is holding heavy cargo.

Back in the good old days, Powerlifters were surprisingly powerful melee weapons, able to handle entire squads of Assault Marines and win. Although it is honestly quite the hilarious site seeing a Sentinel kick ass in close combat despite how ungainly the Powerlifters were. Nevertheless, it was [[Nerf|nerfed]] because GW hates fun. Yes we know, it is a direct reference to Aliens' Power Loaders.

===Magna-Grapple===
[[File:Magna-Grapple.png|200px|right|thumb|Magna-Grapple]]

[[Meme|GET OVER HERE!]] the weapon.

The Magna-Grapple (Otherwise known as the [[Grapnel Launcher]] for Dreadnoughts) is a pseudo-Dreadnought Close Combat Weapon used by the [[Furioso Dreadnought|Furioso Dreadnoughts]] of the [[Blood Angels]] Chapter and their Successor Chapters.

The Magna-Grapple is mounted on top of the Dreadnought's chassis. Consisting of potent gravitic emitters and a spooled length of adamantium chain, a Magna-Grapple can clamp onto a vehicle's hull before hauling the Dreadnought towards its target with terrifying speed. The Dreadnought then tears the target apart with its main Dreadnought Close Combat Weapons or fires upon it with its Frag Cannon.

Now if only the Grapnel Launcher could function the same....

===Assault/Siege Drill===
[[File:Siege_Drill.jpg|160px|right|thumb|Siege Drill]]

An Assault/Siege Drill is a weapon used on [[Dreadnoughts|Ironclad Siege Dreadnoughts]] or [[Centurion Squad|Centurions.]] Although they have different names, they function almost the same (Assault Drills for Dreadnoughts, Siege Drills for Centurions). It drills through rock as easily as reinforced ferrocrete, which is the substance usually used when building bunkers. Once the drill has penetrated the wall, a built in Heavy Flamer unleashes an inferno inside the bunker, killing everything within. The drill consists of three ball-shaped grinders which rotate to produce a drill effect.

On tabletop, these things are absolute monsters, the drills deal a whopping S10 AP-4 3 damage, which means that they ''WILL'' hit and they ''WILL'' hurt. For more information you can look up the Centurion Squad page to dissect its giddily goodness. It can be assumed that the Dreadnought version can kick just as much ass as the baby Centurion Squad.

===Seismic Hammer===
[[File:Seismic_Hammer.JPG|160px|right|thumb|Seismic Hammer]]

A [[Grav-weapons|Gravity Hammer]] on a fist.

The Seismic Hammer is a much more common siege weapon than the Assault Drill, due to the simple fact that is a much less complex weapon. Where an Assault Drill is designed to penetrate its targets, the Seismic Hammer batters them into pieces. It is also equipped with an under-slung multi-melta. This siege weapon is only compatible with the Ironclad Dreadnought chassis.

The weapon resembles four small drills that attach and stabilize the weapon to the target structure, then the seismic hammer erupts out from the weapon's center, slamming into the target and causing devastating shock waves. ''Or'' it can resemble a long hammer that is held forwards, with its head resembling that of an eagle; the weapon uses powerful hydraulics to slam the hammerhead forwards with frightening speed, slamming into the target structure and causing massive damage.

On tabletop, this weapon forces a -1 to hit but comes with AP-4 and deals a jaw-dropping 5 damage per attack.

===Leviathan Siege Drill===
[[File:LevSiege_Drill.JPG|200px|right|thumb|Leviathan Siege Drill]]

The bigger brother of the Assault and Siege Drills.

The Leviathan Siege Drill is a type of Dreadnought Close Combat Weapon designed for use by Leviathan Pattern Siege Dreadnoughts. It was developed to be even more destructive than most classes of Dreadnought Siege Drills, and can bore straight through the heavy armor of vehicles and fortifications with ease. This Siege Drill incorporates a built-in Meltagun in the palm.

Essentially, it is a Heavy Rock Drill that has been grown to the size of a Dreadnought Close Combat Weapon. Seriously, what's up with the Imperium and weaponizing mining equipment for the lols?

On tabletop, the Leviathan Siege Drill is Sx2, AP 2 weapon that has wrecker and armourbane rules. This means that this thing, like the Leviathan Siege Claw is a [[Cheese|S16 weapon]] that can reliably one punch the majority of units up and including Terminators with relative ease. That and the fact that it come automatically in-built with a Meltagun means that most armor including Superheavies aren't safe once this thing is charging headfirst into hell.

===Leviathan Siege Claw===
[[File:LevSiege_Claw.JPG|200px|right|thumb|Leviathan Siege Claw]]

A Dreadnought Lightning Claw on steroids.

The Leviathan Siege Claw is the standard type of Dreadnought Close Combat Weapon used by Leviathan Pattern Siege Dreadnoughts, and it was developed to be even more destructive than those of other Dreadnought patterns. A Leviathan Siege Claw is designed to sever flesh and bone, slicing a Leviathan's foe apart in a single cut. Curiously, it is not stated to be a [[Power Weapon]], which if true, means that those claws on the Leviathan is just ''THAT'' sharp.

As with all of a Leviathan Dreadnought's close combat weapons, they also excel at tearing through the walls of enemy fortifications. All Leviathan Siege Claws incorporate a built-in Meltagun. The Siege Claw is certified for definite [[RIP AND TEAR]].

On tabletop, this weapon is a Sx2 AP-3 D3 weapon which re-roll failed wounds against Infantry. [[Rape|Equip your Leviathan with two of these monsters and watch as this thing butchers entire Ork and Tyranid armies into pieces.]]

===Star Bolas===
[[File:Star_Bolas.png|200px|right|thumb|Star Bolas]]

Remember the Bolas that we talked about earlier? Yeah, it seems that the [[Eldar|arrogant space pixie fairies]] ''somehow'' found a use for these.

A Star Bola, or Tredail as it is known in the Eldar Lexicon, is a close-combat weapon utilized exclusively by the [[Eldar]] [[Harlequins]]. This is a favored weapon of the Harlequin Players, known as Great Falcons, who are mounted precariously on the rear of the lightning-fast Jetbikes known as [[Skyweaver|Skyweavers]]. A Star Bola mounts three weighted plasma charges at the end of mesh-weave cords. These charges arm when the bolas are spun with sufficient vigor. The weapon is designed to be hurled in a scything arc, tangling about its target before its plasma charges explode with the fury of a dying sun. Though Star Bolas are undeniably powerful weapons, their main disadvantage is that [[Derp|they can be hurled but once.]]

Yeah, yeah we know. [[Lolwut|Its pretty jarring for one of the most ancient and advance race in WH40K to still be using one of the most primitive and simplest of weapons as their go-to anti-tank projectiles.]] Sure we can brush it off as Harlequins being massive [[Troll|Trolls]], but come on GW, ''really?'' Of all the tools you could give to the Space Clowns, you give them [[Wat|fucking Bolas!?]] Weapons that are looked down on by the Mon'Keigh as obsolete and even primitive by [[Ork]] standards? [[FAIL|And it can only be thrown once? Seriously who the hell designed the ergonomics of this thing?]]

==Ork==
These are any close combat weapons that are neither [[Choppa|Choppas]] (Due to having a more complex system to manufacture) nor a [[Chain Weapon]] (Due to having parts that does not function like a Chain Weapon). Basically, they are any CCW that does not fit a particular niche.

==='Urty Syringe===
[[File:EC-needle-uv-lif.jpg|200px|right|thumb|'Urty Syringe]]

Ork [[Painboy|Painboys]] carry a bewildering variety of mean-looking tools, supposedly designed to aid the Mad Dok in his 'fixin' of wounded Orks. They may include various blunt saws, blades and hammers and other devices which an Imperial medic would never dream of using.

However, his most used tool is the 'Urty Syringe. 'Urty Syringes are huge steel syringes filled with some toxic goo or liquid. When used in combat, they prove to be an extremely powerful weapon although they don't work against opponents with peculiar physiologies, such as daemons or Tyranids.

The 'Urty Syringe as you may already know, is the Ork equivalent of the Space Marine Narthecium.

===Mek's Fixa===
[[File:Fixa.JPG|200px|right|thumb|Mek's Fixa]]

More of a tool than a weapon.

Ork [[Mekboy|Mekboys]] use all kinds of various tools to repair, kustomize and upgrade their vehicles and other unreliable pieces of Ork Technology. They often put them to use right on the battlefield to fix a vehicle that undertook damage in the fighting. Most of the tools used are rather primitive, but some may take a form of unusually sophisticated and bizarre devices.

The most prominent tool of the Mekboy is the Mek's Fixa which is a giant wrench that is basically the Ork's swiss army knife, for it can function as the aforementioned wrench, a hammer, a cutting tool, a screwdriver and much, much more. It can even function as an axe, if the Mekboy feels particularly threatened.

===Tankhammer===
[[File:Tank_Hammer.PNG|200px|right|thumb|Tankhammer]]
The Tankhammer is a ridiculous and suicidal weapon and is what happens when you combine a hammer with a RPG round. The Tankhammer is an Ork close combat weapon for use against enemy armor.

Essentially a rokkit on a pole, it is used by old-fashioned Orks, who don't trust such unreliable devices as rokkit thrusters. The Tankhammer is swung directly into the vulnerable parts of enemy vehicles at close range, although it an be used against infantry with devastating effects. It is most commonly wielded by Ork Tankbustas. [[FATAL|Because it often explodes when struck, most of these Orks don't survive, much to the amusement of much smarter Orks.]]

===Bangstikk===
[[File:Bangstikk.JPG|200px|right|thumb|Bangstikk]]

The cousin of the Tankhammer and far more sensible. The Bangstikk is essentially the Orkified version of the Imperium's [[Basic Close Combat Weapons#Hunting Lance|Hunting Lance.]]

Nothing more than a rokkit on a stick, a Bangstikk is a Feral Ork weapon. They are long poles with large amounts of explosives attached to the end and used when mounted on a Boar. Most probably used something like a lance, the bangstikk has a similar effect to the Krak Grenade and is used highly effectively against vehicle armour, although being poorly balanced they are not the easiest of weapons to use.

It is not known why the Orks never seem to utilize more of these. It could be because more tech-savvy Orks aren't fans of [[Boarboyz]] and their [[Warboar|Warboars]], therefore the usage of these weapons seem fall out of use in the more Mek dominated areas of Ork control. However the Snakebite clan still utilize these en masse due to being Amish Orks.

===Wyrdboy Stikk===
[[File:Wyrdboy_Stikk.JPG|200px|right|thumb|Wyrdboy Stikk]]

A Wyrdboy Stikk is a copper staff which [[Weirdboy|Weirdboys]] use to safely earth their excess psychic energy. It is usually a personal gift from the Weirdboy's superior, usually the [[Warboss]] himself and is often decorated with bells along with Weirdboy's clothes.

The staff is a great source of comfort to the Weirdboy as it means he can go about his daily life without suffering from sudden and unexpected outbursts of psychic energy. Unfortunately, this doesn't work all the time and Weirdboys still often form the focus for all sorts of unexplained activity. While it might not save his life, the bang may be of a lesser magnitude than it might otherwise have been.

===Killsaw===
[[File:Warhammer-40k-bitz-orks-mega-nobz-killsaw-e1-right.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Killsaw]]

''[[Derp|Not to be confused with the much larger Kill Saw]]''

Killsaw is an Ork close combat weapon sometimes integrated into Mega Armour or used by Ork Mekboys. They are the smallest of the Buzzsaw family. A large variant of the Killsaw can be seen mounted on Mega-Dreads.

On tabletop, the Killsaw is a weapon that trades out the 1d3 damage of the Klaw for a flat 2 damage and an additional point AP (Boosting the total to -4). If you can somehow take two, they give you an extra attack (kind of like lightning claws, or how older Editions' dual-wielding rules worked). It can only be equipped to Warbosses, Meks, Nobz, Painboyz or Meganobz, so it takes a bit of effort to get the most use out of it. In general, stick to the Klaw unless you have a way to get your Mek/Meganobz into melee without being shot at.

===Buzz Saw===
[[File:Buzz_Saw.PNG|200px|right|thumb|Buzz Saw]]

The generically named Buzz Saw is a huge, circular sawblade mounted on Killa Kans and Deff Dreads.

The big brother of the Killsaw, the Buzz Saw is a unholy fusion of a powersaw and a power klaw (Without the power part) and are every bit as savage as the Orks that wields them. This means that the Buzz Saw can both grab and slice opponents into fine chunks of flesh.

These weapons may include single large spinning blades, multiple small spinning blades, spinning blades with additional fixed or moving blades or crushing elements, or spinning blades with additional [[Chain Weapon|Chain Weapons]] attached.

Despite this, they are grouped all under the Killa Kan/Deff Dread Close Combat Weapons and thus, all share the same profile of a Dread Klaw/Kan Klaw (Depending on the walker using them). [[Derp|Which means that this non-Power Weapons share the same function as an ''actual'' Power Weapon.]]
{{clear}}
===Drilla===
[[File:Drilla.PNG|200px|right|thumb|Drilla]]

A weapon designed in creating as many holes into a unfortunate bastard as possible.

A large, motorised drill-bit meant to pierce through the toughest armor with contemporary ease. The Drilla is meant for anti-armor purposes whilst the rest of the Killa Kan's/Deff Dread's weapons can be free'd up to focus on mulching infantry.

Despite this, they are grouped all under the Killa Kan/Deff Dread Close Combat Weapons and thus, all share the same profile of a Dread Klaw/Kan Klaw (Depending on the walker using them). [[Derp|Which means that this non-Power Weapons share the same function as an ''actual'' Power Weapon.]]
{{clear}}

===Wrecker===
[[File:Wrecker.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Wrecker]]

A Wrecker (AKA the Wrecking Ball) is a large metal ball attached to an Ork combat walker's weapon arm with a chain. Think of it as a [[Basic Close Combat Weapons#Flail|Flail]] on a much larger scale. These weapons are used to crush buildings and other obstacles to rubble, allowing the Ork forces to move across the terrain easier. Wreckers can be used by both Killa Kans, Deff Dreads and sturdy/powerful Trukks, but are mostly found within urban combat zones.

On tabletop, the Wrecker is a weapon that gives S+1 and AP-1 for a whopping 3 points. Can only hit with this weapon a maximum of 3 times, which is the maximum amount of attacks a Trukk can make, the unit most likely to have one anyway. At 3 points a pop, throwing them onto any Trukks you're running is not a bad way to spend floating points. Can help you actually deal damage if you decide to slam a Trukk into an opponent's shooty vehicles. Puts a Trukk up to S7 (in the first combat profile), which wounds most Space Marine vehicles on a 4+ and reduces their armor save to a 4+. If you charge a Dreadnought, don't expect the Trukk to survive the 'Dread's turn to fight. Frankly since Trukks die so fast it is probably better to get that extra Grot.

===Kill Saw===
[[File:Kill_Saw.PNG|200px|right|thumb|Kill Saw]]

''[[Derp|Not to be confused with the much smaller Killsaw]]''

The annoyingly named Kill Saw is the Killsaw's and Buzz Saw's dad and is possibly one of the most confusing names ever thought out by GW. [[FAIL|When the only way to differentiate between two different classes of weapons is a space between two words, you know you done fucked up.]]

Kill Saws are massive saw-blades that are used by Ork Mega-Dreads and Kustom Meka-Dreads. The pilots of these walkers love seeing them rip through even the strongest of enemy armor. These saw weapons are much larger than the ones found on the smaller Deff Dreads and Killa Kans.

On tabletop, the Kill Saw was a powerful melee and shred weapon. At Strength 10 and AP 2, this monster goes well with the Rippa Klaw at absolutely eviscerating enemy armor and infantry alike. If you have two Kill Saws, you can add +1 attack, you know, so that you can Rip and Tear fully.
{{clear}}

===Rippa Klaw===
[[File:99590103074_OrkRippaKlawArm02.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Rippa Klaw]]

Not specified to be a [[Power Weapon]]. Rippa Klaws are gigantic shear-bladed pincers that are capable of ripping open heavy armor with extreme ease.

Rippa Klaws feature a large pincer with three blades that can grab and crush enemy units. These massive weapons are used by both Mega-Dreads and Kustom Meka-Dreads. Because they are not stated to be a power weapon like the Power Klaw, it can be said that the majority of its cutting power comes from pure hydraulic pressure powered from multiple pneumatic pumps. They are seen as one of the pinnacle of maximum [[RIP AND TEAR]].

In 7th edition, the Rippa Klaw was the go-to Close Combat Weapon for the Mega-Dread due to its high strength and AP value. It is able to handle most vehicles and infantry by itself and is a deadly weapon on its own.

In 8th edition, the Rippa Klaw is a weapon that can attack 5 times, each attack has a AP of -3 with S x2 and dealing D6 damage. If your Mega-Dread is equipped with two of these bad boys, he would have the [[RIP AND TEAR|Rip n' Tear]] ability, which increase the attack characteristics by 1.
{{clear}}

===Stompa Klaw===
[[File:99590103080_OrkStompaClawArm01.jpg|right|thumb|200px|right|thumb|Stompa Klaw]]

Basically the Rippa Klaw's badass uncle. Stompa Klaws are giant Rippa Klaws meant to rip apart enemy Titans up close. Like the Rippa Klaws, the Stompa Klaw may not be a Power Weapon but a weapon where the majority of its cutting power comes from pure hydraulic pressure powered from multiple pneumatic pumps. They maybe more flexible and versatile than the Mega-Choppa, able to both crush and grab things at a whim before throwing it at a group of blobs.

Meks sometimes deploy these giant Rippa Klaws to rend enemy war machines apart at close quarters – all the better to claim the choicest scrap for future projekts. They are seen as one of the pinnacle of maximum [[RIP AND TEAR]].

These weapons can be equipped with giant Buzz Saws to further aid in its cutting power.

Unfortunately, there isn't any rules for the Stompa Klaw despite the fact that fucking [[Forgeworld]] [[Derp|already has the model up and ready.]] You would think that there should be rules for this weapon right? But nope! GW is lazy like that.
{{clear}}

===Krusha Ball===
[[File:Krusha_Ball.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Krusha Ball]]

The Wrecker's grandaddy and a Flail grown to truly Titanic sizes.

Some Stompas feature an unusual weapon, known as the Krusha Ball, a huge chunk of scrap metal on a chain, which is mounted on a Stompa's arm in place of the regular close combat weapon. Its swings cause immense devastation, krushing everything in its path: soldiers, vehicles, buildings and terrain. Like the smaller Wrecker, it is designed to demolish fortifications and buildings.

Krusha Balls are thus, extremely unwieldy and difficult to use, just like a Flail. The large and heavy metal ball is powerful enough to crumple even the tough armor of Titans and Superheavies, whilst being flexible and chaotic enough to be unpredictable and strike on odd angles, hitting weak/blind spots. However, it is not without its risks. If the backswing is too much, [[FAIL|it will smash back into the Stompa, causing immense damage to the Stompa itself.]]

Back in the oldschool tabletop days, trying to use the Krusha Ball was a [[FAIL|over complicated trainwreck.]] Unless you're a genius at math, this thing took way too much time and effort to even ''judge'' if it hits anything. If you actually want to know the details, please continue to read below.

Specifically, the Krusha Ball is a Titan melee weapon that replaces the standard close combat weapon the Stompa is armed with (Mega-Choppa). If the Stompa is not otherwise engaged in close combat, the hefty Krusha Ball can be swung in a vast sweeping arc of destruction. Nominate a direction (It is convenient to mark this with a Scatter dice) and roll 2D6. [[What|This is the number of inches in which the path of devastation travels (Whatever the fuck that means).]] Assume the path is 2" wide and measure directly below the position of your Krusha Ball. Any model in its path takes a single destroyer hit, although a infantry or jump infantry may take an Initiative test to avoid the blow. On a roll of a double 1 the backswing is too much and the Stompa itself takes a single destroyer hit in addition to any targets within 2" arc.

Any terrain touched by the weapon is removed and replaced with rubble.

===Krusha===

''[[Derp|Not to be confused with the similarly named Krusha Ball or the]] [[Chain Weapon#Crusha|Crusha]] [[Rage|(Seriously, what the fuck was GW thinking in using multiple weapons with similiar-as-fuck names!?)]]''

Ork Mega-Gargants feature weapons so big they dwarf even Mega-Choppas. Known as Krushas these are one of the biggest and most deadliest close combat weapons in the Galaxy. Krushas are immense Rippa Klaws that can rip apart the limbs of even Emperor Titans. Through sheer power alone, a Krusha can use its immense hydraulic presses and pneumatic pumps to crush the centimeters thick reinforced ceramite platings of Titans with contemporary ease.

The main downside however, is that Krusha's are large and expensive weapons that is only effective in really close range. These ranges put the weapon at a disadvantage when a Emperor Titan would gun the Gargant down before it even reaches. [[Anal circumference|But when it does reach, than gigantic assholes will be opened up and penetrated.]]

The Toxin Injector is a type of poisonous weapon used by the [[Genestealer Primus]]. The tubes of a toxin injector coat a Primus’ claws in deadly poisons – a mere scratch from such a talon can quickly prove fatal.

In 8th Edition, Toxin Injectors are the Default Primus close quarters combat weapon; a venomous Rending Claw, it always performs better than the Bonesword the Primus carry, so always use the Toxin Injector

===Atrophied Blade===
[[File:Atrophied_Blade.JPG|200px|right|thumb|Atrophied Blade]]
The Atrophied Blade or otherwise known as the Bio-Dagger, is a strange, ''strange'' weapon used by the [[Sanctus]]. On the surface, it looks like any normal [[Basic Close Combat Weapons#Combat Knife|Combat Knife]] with its own Genestealer decal. However, its function and construction is entirely unique all to itself. It is neither a [[Power Weapon]] nor is it a poisoned weapon. It is more accurate to say that it is a [[Wat|mindrape dagger]] or more accurately, some sort of [[Force weapon|Force Weapon]] that does not actually require the user to be a [[Psyker]] for it to function.

These blades are grown in a genesis pool that contains the [[Lolwut|liquefied essence of slain cultists and imbued with alien biomatter.]] Non-indoctrinates beings struck with these weapons are overcome with agony as a million voices explode inside their minds, often dropping dead on the spot.

===Scrambler Array===
[[File:Scrambler_Array_1.JPG|200px|right|thumb|Scrambler Array]]
A very interesting piece of Genestealer machinery. The Scrambler Array is a custom-built Vox interceptor array which allows them to hack into enemy broadcasts and send their own message across it. They are also able to intercept signals and learn enemy troop movements and tactical dispositions. These machines have been nicknamed the DJ Record Player for '''''obvious reasons'''''. With some in /tg/ joking that the [[Clamavus]] disrupts Imperial communications by dropping some sick beats and dubstep.

The Scrambler Array is often paired with a [[Sonic Weaponry#Proclamaitor Hailer|Proclamaitor Hailer]] which is essentially a giant microphone integrated to the suit; used by the Clamavus to both spread the word and cause a powerful psychic resonance of the Cult's Patriarch to make [[Psyker|Psykers]] go all [[Squad Broken]]. In this aspect, the Scrambler Array and the Proclamator Hailer are both interdependent of one another, often acting as a single tool in function.

On tabletop, the Scrambler Array can keep you safe from enemy deepstrikes within 12" of this model and melts the face of your enemies via rolling a D6 for each enemy unit within 6" of any Clamavus; on a 6 that enemy unit suffers 1 mortal wound.

===Injector Goad===
[[File:Injector_Goad.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Injector Goad]]

A strange and weird staff-sized syringe wielded only by the [[Biophagus]] of the [[Genestealer Cult]]. The Injector Goad is perhaps one of the strangest and bizarre weapons within the Genestealer's armory, this is thanked in the way this weapon functions. As it is a goad, the weapon's main function is to catch and restrain a target around its neck or torso, however it also has a third function which is to obviously inject whatever viral Tyranid venom and artificial toxins into the victim once he/she is restrained.

With the four huge syringes, the Injector Goad is not a pretty weapon to die to, especially if it gets you in the neck area. The venom and toxins are connected to a pipe which is than attached to the backpack apparatus which house the majority of its ammunition. The trigger mechanism can be found lower at the weapon's grip similiar to the Guardian Spears of the Custodes.

Crunchwise, the Injector Goad is a weapon that can cause some mortal wounds and always wounds non-vehicles on a 2+ with D3 damage. A pretty nasty weapon especially for a unit that is the Genestealer equivalent of a [[Apothecary]]/[[Haemonculus]].
