Hi guys,

First time in this situation on the tabletop.

Helbrute has come round the corner and charged, managed with to kill one only, and now it's the Dev. Centies who are fighting back melee.

I hope I'm wrong but since there is no Power fist listed on their profile that I'm only fighting with Strength 5?...and not x2,-3,D3 (like a Powerfist has) even though the miniature appears
to have a Powerfist!!!!????

Tell me I'm wrong

Are my Dev Centies that poor in melee?

Page 172 of Codex Adeptus Astartes Space Marines lists what weapons a Centurion Devastator Squad has. What the model looks like has no bearing on what the rules of the model are.

I mean, if you want melee Centurions... take a Centurion Assault Squad?

cheers

yeah unfortunately. If they did have power fists then there would be no point to the assault cents.
