I was thinking about an IW character to create when I found a complicated thing. As in 'The Flight of The Einsenstein', seems a marine (loyalist or not) can wield BOTH a power fist and a chainsword, or put the sword on the belt and fire a boltgun, two-handed. For example, having the power fist on the left hand and let the right hand free for a trigger or another CC weapon. The thing is, would he feel comfortable with all that wargear in a power armor (not terminator armor)? And also, how would he figh in CC with such a weapons combination? My character would be using a grenade launcher, probably. How do you se this?

Another thing I'd like to hear your thoughts about is that if a marine in power armor could use a chainfist. If the fist is meant for punching and grabbing, it would be probably difficult to do with a chain blade attached to it, and you'll perhaps damage it when punching (same if you had a TL boltgun attached to it as Abbadon or Zhufor). I thought about a blade that could be retracted on the fist's dorso... seems a bit big for a power armor!

Tell me what you think about this!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/429285/3901855.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/429285/3901855.page GMT
For the fighting he would likely use a pistol-like grip and maybe even have attached a monofilament bayonet to the gun, and fight in a fluid style where he slashed with the gun, while the powerfist did the harder work. If he is to carry a really heavy gun he would probably toss it away as the close-combat starts.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/429285/3901884.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/429285/3901884.page GMT
