sonofpollux Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I saw a picture with an assault marine with a chainaxe in the codex. What do youi guys think for modelling purposes? Do you think ones from forge world look good? You thoughts? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/242029-chain-axes-for-blood-angels/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesI Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 chain axes would probably look great. No reason not to use them. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/242029-chain-axes-for-blood-angels/#findComment-2924877 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnightmare Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Look good - yes, but the FW ones are very flimsy, my Bro's nearly all snapped off his World Eaters after just a couple of games. They really need pinning. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/242029-chain-axes-for-blood-angels/#findComment-2924930 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AGPO Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 If you pin the FW axes they work just fine. Personally I've always seen chain axes as a Flesh Tearers thing, why not include a squad of them in your army?

Israfel Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I added a few chainaxes to my assault marines and I'm happy with the models. I used the chainaxes from the khorne berzerkers kit and trimmed out all the chaosy parts.

Journeyman Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Agree with Israfel, "I added a few chainaxes to my assault marines and I'm happy with the models. I used the chainaxes from the khorne berzerkers kit" Did the same thing with my successors Angels Sanguine.

BloodTzar Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I do use FW axes on my "veteran squads", however they are very fragile as I lost 4 so far >.> Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/242029-chain-axes-for-blood-angels/#findComment-2925119 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeller Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 I think it's more iconic of the WE and as such it's not suitable for the BA. Then again some might say I'm a bit close minded about such things.

fivepointedstar Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 well prior to the price hike Khorne Zreks WERE $33.00 US for 12 models. So of course I bought two boxes for my DC. I a few kitbashes later I have 24 crazed chain axe/ sword welding madmen.

red_starrise Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 I say go for it, it's fun & different & that's what makes 40k such a great game IMHO is the modelling aspect of it.

Lestat Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 I've mixed in chainaxes with chainswords for my pre-heresy BA assault squad and they seem to work pretty well. I use the FW berzerker axes and hey definately need pinning just for that extra stability.
