With the new 7th edition FAQ, it seems as if ANY reference to "power sword" is replaced with power weapon, meaning that BA terminator sergeants can now opt for a power axe (or maul, if you so desire)!
Same goes for sanguinary priests in terminator armor, they all of the sudden became awesome! Now I can finally realize my dream to create the Über 30 terminator power blob that BA can make!

Am I reading this wrong or can i have a group of 29 terminators all with axes/fists (save the reclusiarch)?

Unless it specifically states what Power Weapon you can use, you are free to use any power weapon you can in theory hold in your hands. Two handed ones imo would make it difficult to hold a gun at the same time but I can't find an entry to contradict this

That's because two handed weapons are specified as such, and no generic power weapon is two handed. Your choices are axe, sword, maul or lance.

How are you getting 30 Terminator armored guys into one unit?

This is not possible unless you are playing unbound, which if you are then the unit alone would cost over 2200 points...

Even with unglued I don't think it is possible as the instruction states to use whichever Units we like, not whichever models we like, so we are still bound by Restrictions on what consist of a legal Unit from that Codex's Army List.

A single Sanguinary Priest is an elite choice for Blood Angels (You can take 3 priests for 1 elite slot), Sanguinary Priests are also IC's, so it can be attached to a Terminator squad of 10, but you would have to have 19 of them with said 10 man unit with a reclusiarch in terminator armor. It is possible unbound if you join all the Priests to the Terminator unit, but over 2200 points for that unit so it really is worthless to do so.

2 x Scouts

CAD 2

No idea how many points, but that would get you your 30, and is battle forged.

@OP, looks like axes are in... Until the 7th ed codex hits. Not sure I'd clip swords for just a few months.

They changes sword to weapon, this is universal throughout the 6th ed codexes like C: SM etc...

I would expect them to say power weapon in the new BA codex.

@azreal13, that list is 2500+ points... All for one unit, not worth it at all.
