A very interesting and unique weapon that is seldom seen.

Axe-rakes are a heavy multi-purpose weapon and tool used within the Imperium and by the forces of Chaos. They feature a heavy axehead, sometimes replaced with a chain-axe assembly and curved bill-hook or barb at the back. So whilst not all Axe-rakes are chain weapons, a good majority of them are.

They are used in mines, smeltors, foundries and work gangs and can also assist in climbing over obstacles or forcing open doors and locks by using the bill-hook like a giant crowbar. An almost universal symbol in the Imperium for labour and a hive world's manual workforce and is often rendered as an icon both in industrial architecture and livery on most hive world guilds and the Vervun Primary Hive [[Commissar|Commissariat.]]

They saw use during the [[Horus Heresy]] by the [[Ashen Circle]] of the [[Word Bearers]] Legion. These nasty-ass blades were used to drag down victims with its bill-hook/barb and topple graven idols and false icons for the Word Beaers' pyres.
