Hey guys ,

I noticed that on most SW lists with WG at least one WG had a power fist. In terms of power weapon selection. What advantages does a PF has over chain fist , wolfy claws , thunder hammer or frost axe.


Thank you in advance.

Str difference? compared to frost axe and wolf claws atleast

Thanks for the response. I understand pw str is doubled. I wanted to know why anyone would pick a PW over the other choices. It seems
to me a reroll to hit or wound would be better than a str x2 dmg.

*Sorry for the confusion with the first post*

Well pf are used for the vehicles etc. str 4 claws aren't any good at that. As for pf over th or cf, I suppose its cause normally the pf is cheaper.

Nothing sucks more than being charged by something you cannot hurt. S5 (Frost Blade) vs AV12 (Dreadnought) Really, Really Sucks

Krak Grenades help a little, but not much. Having S8 lets you carve up those nasties. However, having more than 1 PF is a waste of points, as it wont be that much more useful against 90% of Targets.
