The jewelry section of craft stores generally hss fine, cheap chain. You can superglue the links into position.

The cheapest way would be to go to hobby lobby or whatever craft store is nearest you and just pick some up.
If you want to be official about your chain or whatever Gale force 9 carries some.

They sell tiny chain in1 foot lengths for $3.99 or 10 foot lengths for $12.99. The size ranges from 15 links per inch (about the same as the GF9 chain) to 42 links per inch with several options in between.
1 foot is quite a lot of chain on miniatures. 10 feet will last a couple of armies, some vehicles and a few buildings.

I'd suggest hitting up craft stores before (model) hobby suppliers, if you have one nearby. While you still pay more than it's likely worth, the premium for basic jewelry supplies is lower than modeling bits and bobs, in my experience. I know that Michaels, at least, sells a variety of chain (including some finer that I would likely ever use on a 28mm model) and for less than GF9 (without even accounting for coupons, which you're unlikely to see from modeling vendors, but are plentiful at craft stores).

That will look great.  Do remember though that putting chains on before painting is going to make painting more difficult around them.

Only if I paint the chains first. I plan to paint the chains and skulls last. I can be a little sloppy painting around them it'll all get covered in the end.
