Special 1 parry
By replacing the blade of a sword with a set of rapidly rotating teeth, the Adeptus Mechanicus have created a weapon of considerably greater penetrating power and wounding reliability. With the basic sword shape maintained, the user retains a sword's valuable ability to parry. Chainswords are rather crude devices, whose technology is older than the Imperium itself. Therefore, they are simple, cheap, and easy to use, and are quite possibly the most numerous melee weapons in existence.
