Just a random thought, but on some models equipped with Lightning claws (such as Shrike, for instance), the Lightning claws seem to have slots to retract into. Does this mean they are a bit like Wolverines claws, being able to pop in and out? I'd expect so, as it would be impractical to if you're wearing your armour to a breifing or su=omesuch to have long, sharp metal spikes sticking out your hands.

Just a thought.

yes the lightning claws can retract. I've read about it in a book.

Awesome, Wolverine marines ahoy!

i've read something like that in soul hunter.

Hmm..

"In the movement phase, your models may retract their lightning claws claws' and count their lightning claws' as power fists for that turn."


I'm liking this!

But then, what would be the point of ever paying for power fists? Take a vanilla marine captain, he pays 10pts less for a Lightnig claw than a power fist, so there is no reason why you wouldn't take the claw.

I know that. And the example rule I gave above I would NEVER want implemented. If it was, LCs would be roughly 30-40pts.

But a Lightning claw should probably give +1 strength or something.. considering it IS a powerfist with claws.

Then again, perhaps not; the gauntlet itself has no power field (unlike PFs), only the talons do. I suppose that's the whole uniqueness of the weapon.

Huzzah for stating the obvious, and the people who are bothering to read this.

Heh, I fail at life. "Think before acting" and all that.

Fixed.


Can't go too far wrong in life if you follow that rule.

(now, back on topic before the mods eat me)

TBH, my questions been answered, so there's not much more to discuss I don't think.

And yes, you get a cookie for being right. With the whipped cream!
