Chainaxe

From Lexicanum

Jump to: navigation, search
A Khorne Berzerker of the World Eaters Legion armed with a Chainaxe.

The Chainaxe is the favored weapon of the Khornate Berzerkers. It takes the form of an axe with motorized chainsaw teeth and is able to tear through both flesh and armour with relative ease.

The Chainaxe has long been closely associated with the World Eaters Legion. In the last ten thousand years however, as Khornate Berzerkers arise in other Legions, the weapon has become more widely used among Chaos forces as a whole.

Before the Horus Heresy, the Chainaxe was commonly issued to Marine assault squads during the Great Crusade. A handful of assault oriented Space Marine chapters such as the Flesh Tearers have been known to still utilize them on occasion.3
