Chainsword bits

[Grimtooth]

Are there any chainsword bits that are just the chainsword and handle? I don't want a fist or anything on the pommel/handle. Just a plain chainsword with empty pommel/handle.

 

Ideally, I would like to mount some chainswords either at the hip or on the back beneath the powerpack as seen in the new Space Marine game by THQ.

The only ones that I know of that don't have anything on the end of the grip are the Imperial Guard Chainswords (but these have a handguard and are attached to a human arm).

 

As for mounting the Chainsword between the body and the backpack, I did this on my Apothecary. It requires some cutting, and it only works with thin Chainswords, but it looks awesome.

Yes, I want to place the flat edge of the chainsword against the small flat part of the back of the SM that the pack attaches.

Forge World has chainweapons without body parts.

Got a link? I can't find it on the site at all.

When I was building my BP/CCW apothecary I built a chainsword handle out of two tac marine combat knife handles back to back, seemed to work pretty well(looks like a really hefty handle). I then found out there are sheathed swords in the khorne berzerker box that have better sized handles to begin with :teehee: . I've also used the dire avenger sheathed sword as a sheathed CCW, it's a little small compared to a chainsword, but I trimmed off the xenos fluting and glued one of the (again tac squad box) knife handle eagle heads on teh hilt. Looks pretty sharp really.

The old Third Edition close combat sprue had chainswords with no hands attached to them. They're pretty rare to find intact these days, as the whole point of them back then was to chop out the handle part, and attach it into the fist of your Marines.

 

The only other ones I know of that are still in production are the metal one from the Imperial Fist upgrade pack:

Pretty spendy for just one sword, though.

I think I have some of these in my bits box (I know I have a bunch of the arms and a couple old powerfists just not positive on the chainsword). I'll have to double check when I get home, but I'll drop a chainsword in the mail for you if I have one.

Here is the site I'm talking about.

I just checked, sorry no chainswords. I do have an old power sword and power axe that do not have any hands attached though...

Take an arm holding a chainsword, remove the hand from it (easy to do if you're careful) and glue in a handle from plastic rod or stretched sprue.

Those would be pretty cook and go along with the fact that Fenrisians use axes in combat, not swords.

careful with the forgeworld axes, those handles snap at the drop of pin. just an fyi

While a little cool, not enough for me to buy them. As was mentioned, I am probably going to buy a bunch of chainsword bits and plastic tube to make cut off hands and make some handles.
