==Overview== The Chrono-Gladiators as aforementioned, have a pre-set destruct deadline, which is only extended when they are in battle, as they thirst for life itself. Every second the Chrono-Gladiator is not in combat, their life-timer ticks down the seconds towards their death. The death clock's life timer can only be reversed by the [[Wat|chemicals released in the sensation of shedding blood.]] [[Derp|How the machine can tell the difference between normal euphoria and murderous delight is unknown.]] When the death timer ticks towards self destruction, the Chrono-Gladiator suffers debilitating effects, which shedding blood counteracts. When it reaches zero, the destruct timer explodes the Chrono-Gladiator's heart. Chrono-Gladiators are fitted with numerous bionic weapons and attachments, with almost no equipment other than that necessary for killing (though some are known to have been equipped with rebreathers). Almost all are fitted with some form of [[power weapon]], usually [[Power weapon#Power Claw|power claws or gloves]], which sometimes have ranged weapons attached to them. Although some (Read: Cheapskate Techpriests) are outfitted with cheaper and more disposable weapons such as [[Chain Weapon#Chainsaw|Chainsaws]], [[Miscellaneous Weapons#Shear|Razor Shears]] and [[Miscellaneous Weapons#Pit Slave Buzz Saw|Pit Slave Buzz Saws]]. Most are fitted with several injector implants and are pumped full of a [[Drug|lethal cocktail of combat stimms]] (notably Slaught and Spur) and bio-enhancers; their sanity is questionable, as the only life they can lead is one of constant battle and bloodletting. As a result of their complex cybernetics, weaponry, equipment and short life span, Chrono-Gladiators are [[Herp|expensive and difficult to obtain]] which begs even more questions on why even have a built-in self-destruct timer in the first place? If they were as cheap and disposable as the fucking [[Tech Thrall|Tech Thralls]] then maybe, ''just maybe'' it could alleviate some of the [[EPIC FAIL|very dumb logistics and construction behind this ergonomic nightmare.]] [[Tl;dr]], these things are dumb and makes absolutely no sense even by the shit-poor standards of WH40K. Not only does the creation of these things not make any sense, it even [[Fail|fails]] to be [[Grimderp|Grimdark due to its nonsensical nature.]] Chrono-Gladiators is a good example on what <u>''NOT''</u> to do when trying to create a grimdark setting. If you make it grimdark just for the sake of grimdark without any rhyme or reason, than it would just end up looking satirical at best, [[Edgy|edgy]] at worst.
