Akozz Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Hi First sorry for MEGA crapy quality of pics, its late, dark and i used my cellphone... Now, im making SM Commander. I can't decide what weapons to choose. Hammer ( Deamonhunters inquisitor lord ) + bolt pistol or Storm Bolter + power sword. For me both options are great. I hate warhammer for that. There is so many cool ways to make your HQ, never know which one to choose. http://img364.imageshack.us/img364/954/zdjcie050vo0.th.jpg http://img512.imageshack.us/img512/316/zdjcie047ea3.th.jpg http://img72.imageshack.us/img72/6301/zdjcie056oo7.th.jpg or http://img364.imageshack.us/img364/5633/zdjcie059su9.th.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/155482-sm-commander-hammer-or-power-sword/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
metcalfedan Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Pose-wise, take the hammer. Points-wise, powersword. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/155482-sm-commander-hammer-or-power-sword/#findComment-1815881 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 personalyl im not a big fan of the powersword... weird huh? not like the sword is my chapter symbol or anything... but lets face it... if you try to hit anything T5 or higher it sucks, where as the hammer.... yes its more expensive... but if those few extra points are going to cost you the game then your doing something wrong anyway. But the hammer works against EVERY type of opponent in the 40K universe.... each and every single one of them... even super heavies.

Stargazer Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Why don't you magnetise the arms then you can pick between the two until you decide on the one you prefer the most Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/155482-sm-commander-hammer-or-power-sword/#findComment-1815988 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 you can use a bolt pistol with the hammer, there are no longer any rule based descinctions between one and two handed weapons, you can use TWO hammers if you want.

jester262 Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 if you want the extra attack then you'd have to use 2 hammers. But I've never been a big fan of hammers or fists on my commanders. Seems to me a waste of an initiative 5.

Master Toddius Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 I would take a relic blade over a thunderhammer any day of the week for a commander. You give the vet in the attached squad the thunderhammer. That way you're striking the opponent at I5 with the commander at str6 -- the more expendable vet can strike at i1 with the thunderhammer. All the power weapon attacks from your oppponent are going to be placed on your commander anyways so you might as well try and kill his pw models off 1st before hs does the same to your expensive commander.
