alfred_the_great Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Quick question - I have an idea brewing, but would appreciate some early feedback.... Thoughts on the use of Power Scythes in M40 (or earlier to say M38)? Lexicanum says the Ad Min stopped their production in M34 (http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Power_Scythe#.USvOCuh-Jx4) but provides no source. Is this weapon type always going to be associated with the Dusk Raiders/Death Guard; too much so to get it around the general 'SM consensus' (i.e. their brother chapters)? cheers!

Demus Ragnok Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Well there is a loyalist chapter called the Emperors Scythes or somthing along those lines. Anyway if a chapter forge had the template there is no reason that they couldnt produce scythes themselves.

deathspectersgt7 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I read in one story where a libbie used one to kill some kroot in one story. And I have started to make some for my Death Spectres.Who have them appear on their chapter insignia.

Octavulg Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 The Scythes of the Emperor are the chapter Demus Ragnok is thinking of. The source for all that information (re: M34 and all that) is the Black Crusade RPG.

Wulfebane Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I'd classify it as a halberd-type power weapon, personally, which puts it in the "power axe" category.
