I like the re-roll idea, but for wounding ( i dont see how shwirling an chainsword makes you hit people any better ....).
Not something OP like re roll all failed wounds or blablabla, something more along the lines "once per assault phase can re roll to wound if you roll a 1".
That would mark the difference between stick and chainsword ...

And the point has been made: how much are you willing to pay for that substantial increase in power?

Mabe a 1 or 2ppm , not more. Or nothing actualy... its a minor buff

Well, allowing it to re-roll all wounds would basically make it a light LC.

Which is fluffy and thematic.

Re-rolling all 1s would be a nice addition without actuallly changing the power balance. meaning no point recosting would be needed.

But unlike LC they only work once per assault phase on a single wound.... otherwise it would be OP for the non existent cost of the chainswords.... no ?

You are objectively wrong. Please see the rest of the thread.

Why not just increase the cost of models with chainswords? Or add them as an additional upgrade?

Remember that most units modelled with chainswords technically have a CCW, not a chainsword specifically.

That isn't easy to do because it would require EVERY codex with Chainswords in it to be rewritten.

Why would you need to rewrite codices? Just use it as a house rule.

Then you don't get it.

Marines don't need to be made more powerful, despite the inferiority complex that practically requires most marine players to whine "everything in our codex sucks!"...

Because it effects the points value of a lot of units, and it penalizes some units because their codex doesn't have the option.

Orks, for example, are depicted using chain weapons but they don't have any option for it.

Then of course there's the ones that ARE said to have a chain weapon like berserkers.
