So upon checking out how many points i had with my Powerup rewards from Gamestop i almost had a heart attack. They have a 50 inch Chainsword. I would link it but it is to my account and i need every point i can get lol. It's 80 THOUSAND points but.. it's a Chain sword over 4 foot tall

Finally found a pic of the damn thing http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.639422116172.2119193.38102000&l=ecd0931bd3&type=1

1st row 4th one down. Enjoy all

**Alfhedil**

So that's what it looks like. I am most impressed.

**Sabet**

i would of thought it slightly smaller, that or they guy holding it is short.

You know space marines are way taller than normal humans, and that's without the power armour.

True story. They're well over 8 feet tall.

You are wrong. Unarmored SM are under 8 feet.

Oh god. Not this again.

You're both wrong. Space marines, in armour, are eight feet WIDE, and twenty feet tall. Obviously. Now. On-topic, please?

WHAT A BIG CHAINSWORD YOU HAVE!

**remilia_scarlet**

I'm a blood angels player, and what I this?

I like it, better than my replica by far.

**Slayer le boucher**

Personnaly beeing a Chaos Marines Player...,i'd rather have the Chaos Eater sword from that War statue!

Oh and our local gaming club/shop just bought at a bargain this Blood Raven statue to put it in his shop!!

It's helluva impressive!,but you can see that the bolt pistol dimensions are a bit wrong on some places.

**Bat Manuel**

80000 is like $4000 at best.

**Jimsolo**

That is a massive weapon. Eighty thousand points seems a little ridiculous though.

**Phantom**

Did GW get involved?

and shoot lightning out their arse!

**niceguyteddy**

Can someone post a pic? Filters at work and all preventing me from seeing it.

**baron deathnyx**

I just checked the gamestop website to purchas the chainsword but couldn't find it how can one purchase it?

Relevance?

They'll be armoured when wielding a chainsword, generally speaking. At which point they are over 8 ft tall, according to Jes Goodwin.

Point of fact, you're only partially correct, depending on how narrowly you define "Space Marine". While you are accurate that most canon describe them as 8 to 9 feet tall in armor, if you consider Grey Knights to be Space Marines, they bring the average back down to 8 feet. Grey Knights, due to the increased gravity on Titan, are somewhat shorter and somewhat wider then other Space Marines.

It isn't something you can outright buy, you have to have a powerup card and you have to build up enough points.

I used to work at Gamestop and you get 10 points for every dollar you spend with either the silver or black powerup card so you'd need to spend about 8000 dollars to have the points for it. I don't remember how many points you get for trading in games though

Damn... For that price, it had better be capable of eviscerating those who fail to kneel before me, their one true god, and obey my commands!

**dkellyj**

looking through the rest of the pics, the Chainsword was given away as a winners trophy.

I don't remember reading quite 20 feet tall--but as they get larger the more they fight, I suppose a chapter leader over time could get pretty big!

I think the female space marines lack that gene though---they're stuck at 8.5 ft after their change---but hey, who's going to trouble an 8-9 foot tall woman space marine...amIright oramIright

For $8,000, i suspect you can build a a few actual, working chainswords.

For $8,000, i suspect you could have Jes Goodwin retcon his own words and pretend SM are only 7ft tall, un-armoured...

But we know better than that, don't we

??

**Mad4Minis**

That bolt pistol looks a bit more Ork than IOM. Its a bit crude.

How much would it cost, do you think, for Jes Goodwin to remove all those pictures of his 8ft tall life sized Space Marine drawing from the internet?

**BrookM**

I'll remove mine from my Photobucket account if you make me a generous offer.

**CalgarsPimpHand**

Those pictures only show an 8 ft tall marine if 0 ft equals 1 ft. That's the guy who basically designed the space marines, sitting in front of a life size drawing of a space marine, that's 7 ft tall. Can we please never have this discussion again?

**BrookM**

Never say never, especially around here.

**Sarge**

Is that available for regular sale?

What!?!?
You are all wrong, a Space Marine in Power Armor is 7 foot, 9.5234 inches tall and can shoot lightning out of his hindparts.....
...why are we arguing about this again?
