Skull Champion w/ power fist

Aspiring Champion w/ power sword

I'm not sure where to go really? I really want to give my Skull Champion a power sword instead of the fist to keep his initiate 5 when he assaults. But i heard its almost "mandatory" to take a PF with skulls....]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/269638/1182656.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/269638/1182656.page GMT

Is because if they dont take a fist a dreadnought or walker can easily tie the whole unit up for the game.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/269638/1182739.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/269638/1182739.page GMT
Power weapons are 'functional' on Zkull Champions: only if their task is 'Counter Assault'.

However, you need a 6 to hit before the 2d6+8 Penetration occurs.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/269638/1182795.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/269638/1182795.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/269638/1182806.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/269638/1182806.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/269638/1182813.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/269638/1182813.page GMT
What you really want on Aspiring Champions is a Combi-Weapon, so you have that extra piece of nastiness to shove in your opponent's face. There's something about having a squad of CSM armed with dual flamethrowers melting an oncoming Ironclad to really make your opponent rethink their counter-charge strategy. The extra attacks and regular initiative (I5 on Skull Champions!) makes Powerfists pretty wasteful except for squads in a shock-assault roles, and Troops shouldn't be wasted on such roles. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/269638/1183137.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/269638/1183137.page GMT CC weapon.

Also, the Champion's solid WS5 allows him to hit much more often with his powerfist, making him much more effective against anything than a normal CSM champion with a fist.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/269638/1183632.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/269638/1183632.page GMT
