Yeah, one punishment for heresy is to be turned into a sort of cyborg called an arco-flagellant, who has elecroflails (electric whips) as fingers. Pic related.

Power whips definetly exist.
The Dark Eldar have serrated whips but they're made out of alloy and not chainsaw tech. They're basically mono-swords that are also whips.

I don't think chain whips exists, because that makes no sense.

Nigger, there are chainsaw chakrams in 40k. Nothing makes sense.

Take chainsaw.
Remove part that holds chain.
Chainsaw whip.

Multiple mini-chainsaw blades fused together, have about 10 links or so for maximum killy

>>45858182
They do if you or your gm adds in some artifact that happens to be a whip of chainswords.

As mentioned by other anons, there are more advanced kinds of whips in the 40K universe: The Imperium has arcoflails, and the Dark Eldar have Agonizers.

That being said, although these weapons are 'powered whips,' they are not true power whips, which don't seem to exist. Which is strange, considering that, if you could give a fist a power-field, I see no reason why you couldn't give one to a whip as well.

One of Corax's weapons was a power whip.

Likely the same reason lightwhips while possible and a thing in star wars aren't really used much. Because it's nearly impossible to try and control, due to not just passing through many objects, but things reacting violently on contact due to burning/vaporizing pushing the whip around. Though a whip that functions like thunder hammer would be pretty cool, wrap it around something then turn on the power field to wreck it. Maybe something like the Razorflails the dark eldar have, where when you turn it on it goes from whip to sword form but also turning on a power field while it does this, creating a blast and becoming a much more manageable power sword.
