'''{{PAGENAME}}s''', also known as '''Chain Halberds''', are a rarer type of [[Imperial]] or [[Ork]] [[Chain Weapon]] that combines the reach of a poleweapon with the gnashing fury of a chainbladen. Theseweapons come in a startling variety based on the sundry [[forge world]]s and eras in which they were manufactured, but all are extremely deadly.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|5}}
Favored by the [[World Eaters]] and [[Night Lords]], these are spear-like weapons with a double-edged Chain Blade attached to its end. They are used as either a slashing or thrusting weapon, with the long reach and lighter chain blade making it useful for quick strikes and maneuvers.{{Fn|1}} In the Night Lords Legion Chainglaives were a weapon of choice among the Commanders and [[Space Marine Sergeant|Sergeants]].{{Fn|3}}
