Chainglaives are extremely cheap for what they give you, they're not the most outrageously cheap melee weapon profile in the game but paying 5 points for S5 AP3 D1 breaching (6+) Shred (6+) is an absolute steal and you'd be crazy not to take em.
>but they're bad against terminators.
You're playing Night Lords retard, if you ever even think of trying to fight terminator elites in melee you're fucking up on both your gameplay and your theme.
You're the cowardly shithead "do whatever it takes to win" legion. You don't March your retinue to fight his retinue in open combat you blast their transport with Gravcannons so it never moves and laugh at the cataphractii as they spend the whole game trying to waddle into melee on foot.
Terror squads are absolute garbage but them being bad has nothing to do with chainglaives. They're just too expensive for a despoiler statline.
