> Sega invited me to a marketing event for Dawn of War 3 so I wrote an "article" around the gimmick they used as bait.

When the gimmick is that cool, I think that's okay.

I take it you're not a Warhammer 40k fan.

I am, at least casually! But this is an example piece of a http://www.paulgraham.com/submarine.html and I really really dislike these.

Disappointed this isn't a chainsword.

The chainsword is the epitome of the "I'm 12 and I think this is badass" vibe that permeates 40k (disclaimer, I love the 40k universe precisely because it is so over-the-top corny).

A pity they put all that work into something that doesn't work as well as a regular chainsaw... Lucky nobody lost an eye with those bits welded onto the teeth of the original chain.

Point of order. A real power fist also has a power field emanating from it.

The top comment from that post is gold:

"I bet that could get that last .5 ounce out of a juicero bag."

From the Warhammer Wiki:

"A variant of the Power Fist is the Chainfist, which is similar to a Power Fist but has a miniature chainsaw blade attached."

Because of course it does. I want to see THAT in action.
