Brother Dallo Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 The Games Workshop grey Knights in power armour box gives quite a lot of power weapons. It might be worth a look.

Dallo is there a difference between 30k and 40k swords?

depthcharge12 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 There are some bits sellers (legitimate) on eBay that will sell you sets of them. Otherwise, I'd look into the power weapon upgrade kits on FW. There's always a bunch of good bits.

Dantay VI Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 I have 15 chainswords kicking about for mark 2,3 & 5 marines. Probably got a bunch of GW Space Wolves chainswords too. I equipped all my assault marines with Axes instead. More Fenrisian that way My shieldwall, Chainswords look a wee bit different between 30 & 40K Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/311812-where-to-get-chain-swords-and-power-swords/#findComment-4135566 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Dallo Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 In my opinion, a power sword is a power sword. I don't think there is the 30k / 40k distinction with swords as there is with equipment like bolters. The FW power weapon sets are nice, if you don't mind shelling out for them.

m_r_parker Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 If you're looking to a ForgeWorkd legit offering, you may be out of look. The Power / Combat weapon packs only come with 2 Power Swords (although you do get some power axes and other power weapons in the set) and 2 chainswords. Unless you want to start buying multiples of those packs, you're looking at bitz sellers or 40k plastic packs. For 40k plastic chainswords I would have suggested the old Assault squad, as I think they're one the chainswords are too decorative - but with it being Ultranarined you may be able to make it work. The issue is that I'm unsure whether they're left or right handed chainswords, as for Boarding Shields in 30k they predominantly left handed and you'll need right handed weapons. Personally I'd say go with the power weapon set on ForgeWorld and use most of the options in the pack and let your opponent know beforehand that they're all standard power swords, and not axes or mauls or hammers. Unless you're going for the uniform aesthetic that is.

DuskRaider Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 There's a ton of third party sites that sell Power / Chainswords. Kromlech makes some really nice ones, for instance.

marine7312000 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 You can always shop around on ebay for bits. You can normally get the older plain chainswords in a bundle for pretty cheap. You may need to keep an eye out for them however.

Daemon2027 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 I tend to use Ebay, I also get the dispoiler squad set when I need some armour as they come with 5 chainswords. But then I have a large bit box already.
