I think this is a minor point of ambiguity but thought I could use a second opinion.

The Hellbrute has a power fist ... It "may upgrade up to two power fists to incorporate a single: combi-bolter (or) heavy flamer".

Following that it "may replace any power fist with one of the following: thunder hammer (or) power scourge"

Since the upgrade is incorporated into the power fist, am I reading it correctly that you'd lose the combi-bolter/heavy flamer by further upgrading the power fist to thunder hammer/power scourge, even if you spent the points?

Put the heavy flamer on one power fist, swap the other for the scourge.
Yes, if you bought 2 power fists, then swapped one for the scourge, you'd lose one of the flamers.

Just to note, helbrute price just changed to 100 points.

A gamebreaking 5 point reduction there.

Just a balancing 5 pt reduc, IIRC the SM Dread costs 105 comes with a built in Storm BOlter, does not have the "crazed" Rule

Actually the 5pt reduction was apparently because of a misprint in the codex.... All the foreign language copies have the Hellbrute for 100 pts while the English speaking Hellbrute was 105 pts.

And thank you everyone.

I'll be honest... i loved the Crazed Rule... i want to give it a Lascannon and a Missle Launcher and get Fire Frenzy.


TAKE THAT!
