<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Ogryn Power Fist(ing)"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/16.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Ogryn Power Fist(ing) Proposal
Ogryn Wargear Options: The Bone 'Ead may take a power fist for free.

Rationale
Adds some S10 bashing and helps offset the Ogryn price (which I believe is excessive by 5ppm). Would boost the effectiveness and threat range of the unit immensely.

Alternatives
If it seems a bit much, could also have it be purchased. 20pts? 25? (How much do Nobs pay for PKs?)
Could also exchange his Ripper gun for a Power Fist and ? (Ripper pistol has been stolen by Marbo, unfortunately)

Thoughts?

How so? All you do with a powerfist would be normal hand based attacks like punches, swats, hammerfists, and so on. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/447159/4232280.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/447159/4232280.page GMT Re:Ogryn Power Fist(ing)
I figure if they can pull a trigger and shoot a shotgun, they can push an 'on' switch and punch something in the face. Maybe not. PF just seems very brutal and non-finesse. Even a power sword or axe seems like it wouldn't really fit their style of OGRYN SMASH!

Ogryn really aren't that bad in general (T5, 3W, Furious Charge, etc) but giving the sarge a PF means now 2+/3+ armour would worry slightly about taking a few too many unsaveable wounds.

Just an idea though, I'm not married to it.

Salvaged PK then. Taken as a war trophy from a successful Ork campaign.

Too heavy for a human to use (unless you're Yarrick!) and too useful to destroy.

It's difficult because ogryn are over-priced as it is.
Say they were 35 points a model, 25 points for a power fist would be okay. 4 S10 attacks on the charge isn't bad with so many wounds to soak up damage.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/447159/4232659.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/447159/4232659.page GMT Re:Ogryn Power Fist(ing) PF?

If the squad numbers 5 models or more, the Bone 'Ead may take a Ogryn Klaw (Counts as Power Fist) for free.

Everyone else in the codex gets them for 10 points less than that IIRC (never use power fists, I only ever charge Tau and nearly dead Eldar or Orks anyway).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/447159/4233024.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/447159/4233024.page GMT Re:Ogryn Power Fist(ing) IG codex are not swinging at strength 10! Commissars and the like will be swinging at strength 6.

That said, the only thing that can get a strength 10 power klaw in the ork codex that I know of is the Warboss. Nobs swing at 9 on the charge.

That's true for some Ork technology, but by no means all.

A lot of Ork technology is just basic mechanics/chemistry/physics. A SAG might not work in the hands of a Guardsman, but a bog-standard Ork truck is just an internal combustion engine and wheels. Granted, it wouldn't go faster for being red, but it would still run and drive just fine.

Yarrick's claw, as mentioned above, is an example of Ork tech being perfectly functional in the hands of humans. Whether it had to be modified is moot for this discussion since the same modifications could be made for Ogryn.

OT, seems like there isn't too much hate for a single PF in an Ogryn squad. I might try and play test a little and see if it's OP or not.

Thanks for the input,

yea ork fluff has some fun stuff like some of the deadliest rk weaponry being opened up and revealed to be a bunch of bolts rattling around in a fancy looking case.

I'd agree with ogryns taking a power fist or power weapon for the seargent, I'd more think they'd do somethign cheaper though, like a 2 handed power weapon... think big choppa +2str bbut add power weapon. power fist beign an option but for more points so they have versitility]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/447159/4237226.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/447159/4237226.page GMT Re:Ogryn Power Fist(ing) http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/447159/4237671.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/447159/4237671.page GMT Re:Ogryn Power Fist(ing)

Also, Yarrick has gained a unique vision of the Ork mindset, he knows all about hierarchy, tribes and has "even learned the language from an Ork captive" (Codex: IG) Maybe he is close enough to an Ork to count?

How about for every 5 Ogryns one Ogryn may purchase a rending blade to be attached to the Ripper Gun. This grants that unit rending. This would save the ogryns from being totally screwed against walkers (after the charge) and give them a little bit of kick against everything else. Since you're obligated to buy quite a few ogryns in order to gain access i think a lower point cost would be in order. Say 10-15 points?
Unfortunately Rending really does nothing for an Ogryn unit. The benefit is minimal any way you mathhammer it. It would be helpful, sure, but Rending seems to be the solution to any lacklustre unit these days and I'm trying to avoid that.

If an Ork can use a PK, an Ogryn should be able to use a PF. That's my logic and I'm sticking to it!

Ogryn are ab-human, the rules for using xenos tech are less restrictive. Partly because no-one really cares if they die or not and partly because most leadership assumes they're too stupid to be corrupted. Loot ALL the PKs!

Fluff aside, a PK for the Bone 'Ead seemed to work reasonably well and didn't break the unit. Still only WS4 and I3 on the charge but it makes them a bit more threatening to terminators and vehicles, which I figured was the general idea. Now to model a baws Ogryn with a PK. Maybe a sentinel power loader arm?
