Chain Weapons are close combat weapons which utilize a cutting chain mechanism (similar in principle to a chainsaw) along the length of the striking edge. They are most effective in assaults against lightly armoured targets and are generally used in wide sweeping attacks to make full use of momentum for maximum impact and cutting strength. Several armies make use of Chain Weapons, including the Imperial Guard, Space Marines, Orks, Chaos Space Marines and Eldar.
链锯武器是一种近距离战斗武器，它利用沿刃的切割链机制（原理上类似于链锯）。它们在攻击轻装甲目标时最为有效，通常用于大范围的横扫攻击，以充分利用动量达到最大的冲击力和切割力。一些军队使用链锯武器，包括帝国卫队、星际战士、兽人、混沌星际战士和灵族。
Occasionally they are used as an attachment to another weapon; a small chainblade can sometimes be used as a form of bayonet attached to a ranged weapon to aid in close combat.
偶尔，它们会被用作另一种武器的附件；小型链刃有时可以作为刺刀配在远程武器上，以辅助近身作战。

重型凿岩机：一种常用的采矿设备，通常不在战斗中使用，因为它需要三只手臂才能有效地使用，但经常被基因掠夺者教派用作武器。具有与开膛手或链锯拳非常相似的破坏力。由于它是采矿设备，整体形状更像重型岩石锯而不是锤子，但头部也是一组多个旋转锯齿的刀片。
Chainsword: A standard close combat weapon that utilizes a cutting chain mechanism which runs up the length of the blade.
链锯剑：一种标准的近战武器，利用沿剑刃延伸的切割链机制。
Biting Blade: A large chainsword used by Eldar exarchs.

Eviscerator: A large, two-handed chainsword, with damage potential similar to a chainfist; frequently wielded by Ministorum priests attached to the Imperial Guard.
开膛手：一把巨大的双手链剑，具有类似于链锯拳的破坏力；经常由隶属于帝国卫队的国教牧师使用。
Heavy Rock Saw: A commonly used piece of mining equipment, not usually wielded in combat because it requires three arms to wield effectively, but often employed as a weapon by genestealer cults. Has very similar damage potential to an eviscerator or chainfist.
重型岩石锯：一种常用的采矿设备，通常不在战斗中使用，因为它需要三只手臂才能有效地使用，但经常被基因掠夺者教派用作武器。具有与开膛手或链锯拳非常相似的破坏力。
Frost Blade: A type of chainsword used by the Space Wolves chapter, many of which incorporate diamond-hard ice kraken fangs as chainblade teeth.
霜刃：太空野狼战团使用的一种链锯剑，其中许多链锯剑都包含钻石般坚硬的冰霜克拉肯獠牙作为链锯刃齿。
Scorpion Chainsword: Functions similarly to a standard chainsword, but augments the wielder's strength, and does not engage the chain mechanism until it actually strikes; used by the Eldar Striking Scorpion aspect and some autarchs.
