Chain Hammer

Chain Hammers are large, normally two-handed, weapons which combine the striking power of a great hammer with the ripping action of a chain weapon. The club-like head has multiple rows of spinning teeth to tear apart flesh pulped by the initial impact. These weapons typically require incredible strength to lift, let alone wield in combat.[1]

Chain hammers are known to be used by orks[2] and the pit brutes of Kurse in the Screaming Vortex.[1] Powered versions capable of splitting Power Armour were also wielded by the Accusators of the Black Judges.[3]
