By the Emperor, Someone Made a WorkingWarhammer 40kChainsword

The dispirited dark future tense of the forty-first century needs a arm as ridiculously gritty as the setting of Warhammer 40,000 — and the chainsword , standard melee weapon of the predominate Space Marines , by all odds fit out the flyer . But now such a silly artillery has been made in our world , and it ’s just as awesome .

The recent dada culture weapon crafted by the sept at Man at Arms — who’ve brought everything fromlightsaber - inspired KatanastoVoltron ’s blazing swordto liveliness through the exponent of hitting things really toilsome with big hammers and giant press clipping tools — is a lilliputian different than their usual fare . After all , there ’s no real blade to a chainsword — it ’s just a ginormous chainsaw you wield like a blade .

But it ’s still a gripping mental process to watch them put it all together , and then clad the sawblade in the traditional markings of the Emperor ’s finest Word , from the Blood Angels livery to the wax - pigeonhole scriptures . It might be staggeringly impractical in real life history , but a chainsword is still totally rad .
