A Chainsword is a Close Combat Weapon which is essentially a sword with powered teeth that run along the blade like that of a chainsaw. Most versions make use of monomolecular-edged or otherwise razor sharp teeth. The weapon makes an angry buzzing sound as the teeth spin around, intensifying into a high pitched scream as they grind into armour.

It is a popular weapon of Imperial Guard officers, and boarding and assault parties - such as Space Marine Assault Squads, Chaos Space Marines, especially Raptors, and Eldar Striking Scorpions.
