Hiya,

Fairly self explanatory, I can't see to work out where to get this melee weapon/ what does it count as/ the name of it?

Is it 30k / forgeworld only or am I being a total n00b? Is it a conversion from 2 chainswords?

Both times I have seen it, it has been on a World Eaters army..

These are definitely conversions where someone lopped off the head of a two-handed weapon and glued two chainsword blades on. The second one is a Grey Knights Justicar halberd. The first one looks like some kind of force staff maybe, but I'm not sure.

It looks to me like a special sort of "chain glaive". I think Sevatar, 1st captain of the night lords uses one. It's also said that Angron used one, though his model has him dual-wielding axes.
These weapons are not very common in 40k, but forgeworld make them for 30k marines.( actually anvil industries make them)
I guess you could use whatever rules, it could be a simple close combat weapon or you could use the same rules as a nemesis force halberd, without the force and nemesis rules.
