The Memor Nihilis, a Relic of the Flesh Tearers is described as "a two-handed variant of the Astartes chainsword, more commonly known as an eviscerator" (Honor the Chapter, p.131). But what are the stats of a regular eviscerator? Just the same as a regular chainsword, except you use two hands? Or is it more powerful? And where can I find these stats?

I use 40K RPG Tools to search through all the Warhammer 40K RPG books.
For the Eviscerator in particular, stats can be found in the other lines in these books:
- Dark Heresy, Inquisitor's Handbook, p 187 (1d10+10 R; Pen 5; Two handed; Tearing, Unwieldy)
- Only War, Core Rulebook, p 185 (2d10 R; Pen 9; Two handed; Razor Sharp, Tearing, Unwieldy)
- Deathwatch, Mark of the Xenos, p 120 (1d10+12 R; Pen 5; Tearing, Unbalanced)
-
\$\begingroup\$ I took a look at that Deathwatch note, but I noticed that it's incorrect: on that page it talks about the Obliterator's Eviscerator Chainblade (1d10+22 R, Pen 5, Tearing, Unbalanced), which does not work because it is part of the Obliterator's body. Or was this part of an update? \$\endgroup\$ Commented Nov 10, 2014 at 11:18

\$\begingroup\$ I think most of those are for the minis game, which aren't useful for the RPG. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Nov 8, 2014 at 19:13

\$\begingroup\$ Only the fourth book is of passing interest, but it's the wrong RPG. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Nov 8, 2014 at 20:01

\$\begingroup\$ @Thomas All the 40k RPGs use the same rules and stats, and are compatible. The PCs are just different power levels. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Nov 8, 2014 at 22:08

\$\begingroup\$ @SevenSidedDie no they are not (multiple melee attack rules, for example). Anyway, human-sized eviscerator wielded by a Sister of Battle seems smallish for the Space Marine use. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Nov 9, 2014 at 10:42

\$\begingroup\$ @JeorMattan Compatible, not identical. They're compatible in the sense that OWoD games are compatible: they all use the same house system, and bits from one are adaptable to the other. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Nov 9, 2014 at 19:15
