Warhammer 40k Chain Sword - On a Budget

As a follow up to my Budget Bolt Pistol build I decided to have a go at a chain sword.

Unfortunately I don't have WIP photos as my wife needed the camera when she went away on a trip, and also I got carried away and didn't even think about it until i'd finished :facepalm

The basic construction is the same as the Bolt Pistol.

All made from items I had lying around, which included :-

• Broom Handle
• Foam Camping Mat
• Corrugated Cardboard
• Ceral Box Card
• Foam Core
• McDonalds Wooden Coffee Stirers
• Plastic Wheels from a toy 4x4 (my son's old toy)
• Old Sony Erikson USB cable
• Bamboo Skewers

The only part to finish off are the chain teeth, I'm not exactly sure what to use for them, but I will work it out.

These are both great, not enough Warhammer on this forum looks like a big project, if your going to be making the whole marine?

I'll defiantly have to follow your build thanks for posting.

Fantastic work so far! The chainsword and bolt pistol are both going to look amazing when they're finished up. Can't wait to see them

Thanks, I'll be finishing these once I have the full suit finished, currently I have shoulders done, and almost finished the backpack.

Great build of this and your bolt pistol! I've made a couple of small tenative steps towards starting a space marine myself over the past couple of weeks so will be watching your budget build with interest.

Looks great! I know it's been a while, but can you post the plans you used to cut the pieces? That would really help! Thanks!
