Smash Captain Chainswords

Command models get the best wargear, and this one is equipped for the part of the game where the shooting has stopped. A captain carrying chainswords is a deliberately unsubtle choice: an officer who arrives in the enemy's lines and starts cutting, rather than one directing the battle from behind a firing line. The smash captain nickname comes out of tournament play, where the habit is to build a single hyper-aggressive character and point him at whatever most needs removing. Whichever Chapter he ends up serving, the job is the same — a fast, expensive, dangerous piece that is expected to earn back its points in the first fight it picks. Three files for a tabletop wargaming scale character, carrying the ornament and armour detail that separates an HQ choice from a rank-and-file trooper.
