Gas. It's got exhaust vents, so my bet's on some sort of flammable liquid. So the Blood of the Filthy Unclean Heretics. Or in the SW case, booze. Lots and lots of booze.

Considering it's nothing more than a glorified one handed chainsaw, I'd say some form of gas.

Baby hearts. What, somebody had to suggest the slaughter of young children to power the Chainsword. The other option is Mat Ward's ego. Those chainswords will never run out of power

I think the ego is more reliable than anything else mentioned here. We've found eternal energy my friends.

If it truly was powered by Ward's ego, then it would be considered a strength 11 weapon. Ergo it wouldn't be allowedoh wait this is Ward related, so bring on the 11+ stats!

I would assume its fuel powered since in almost every regard a chainsword acts like one of our chainsaws.

Same stuff that powers the lasguns. on some models you can see energy cells by the hilt.

The meaning of victory is not merely to defeat your enemy but destroy him, to completely eradicate him from living memory, to leave no remnant of his endeavors, to crush utterly his achievement and remove from all record his every trace of existence. From that defeat no enemy can ever recover. That is the meaning of victory.

Wouldn't it make more sense to have it run on ground up skeletons minus the skull? It would explain where all the headless skeletons went...

Its energy, Energy powers a chainsword.
Many different versions have been made.
Most run on a mini reactor that powers them.

Some of the older models had the chain weapons with a power cable running to the backpack, but I think modern one run off of power cells and/or promethium. The vents are probably to clear out the guts and gore so it doesn't jam, as well as to vent heat.
or it's powered by the blood of enemies. Either or.

The Holy Chainsword is powered by your conviction in the Emperor and your hate for His enemies.

There are some who walk until their legs fail them and they fall to the ground. I find that respectable.
Then there are those who drag themselves further. I find that admirable. |
