Decoy Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 We can take two. First official codex to my knowledge that allows it. Granted, it's points-heavy as all-get-out, but I kind of like the thought that we can do so, even if none of us actually do.

Hfran Morkai Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Nothing stopping a Space Marine Sergeant taking two, but that's 50 points of upgrades there. The "may replace his bolter and/or chainsword" means he can take two of the same if they so wish. As far as I'm aware at least.

SamaNagol Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Well, there is one with 2 on the codex cover, so it would be a bit funny if you couldn't!

Decoy Posted September 21, 2009 Author Share Posted September 21, 2009 Yeah, it's a pain of an upgrade, but I might actually put one in my army, just for the sheer modeling opportunities. Really, a Wolf Guard with two powerfists, one wrapped around a Tyranid's throat, the other pummeling it's face into a fine pulp. Or the Guard hefting an Eldar Vyper over his head, tearing it in half. Hehehe..... I'm giddy about this dex, if only for the conversion options. Toaster, the only way you can get an extra CC attack with a Powerfist now is if you have two Powerfists. It's not USEless, but it may very well be points-inefficient. Then again, the one time you need that extra attack... *shrug* Interesting, one way or another.

DV8 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 No. If points were no issue, taking two powerfists is the only way to get the +1 bonus for two combat weapons (so a Sergeant dual-wielding power fists is 2 base, + 1 for extra hand weapon). DV8 PS Damn you Decoy,...beat me to it :cuss Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/179144-anyone-else-notice-the-powerfists-on-wolf-guard/#findComment-2119617 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not USEless, but it may very well be points-inefficient. i understand that fact. and my useless comment was about the wasted points that can go else where to me more useful. granted having the extra attacks is not a total waste of points, it is how ever better used to say purchase a melta gun, or a plasma gun, or a pair of extra storm bolters on a rhino.

SamaNagol Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Well the WGPL has 1 extra attack over a basic trooper. And he is actually cheaper than buying a fist for a normal pack member!

There are those of us who don't use tanks, and who eschew ranged weaponry. I know that the only antitank in my upcoming army will be Thunderhammers, Powerfists, Meltabombs, or Lascannons, all on infantry. The dual-powerfist, if I can afford it, is an option I will probably be taking, actually. Nothing says "I HURT YOU NOW!" like eight Powerfist attacks from one squad, and not a special character in any way.

Toasterfree Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Nothing says "I HURT YOU NOW!" like eight Powerfist attacks from one squad, and not a special character in any way. i agree with that. but i prefer the "I HURT YOU NOW!" from ragnar, in a G pack with a MoW, PW and his own gruesome nastiness of eatery. and my real only AT is my LF pack with two las 1 missile. the rest of the LF is AP (2 HB or the missile if i need it). other then that the rest of my heavy weaponry is anti-transport (autocannons on my dread). scouts have a multi purpose job (MG with MBs). which all fits the meta of where i play, which is where we are differing Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/179144-anyone-else-notice-the-powerfists-on-wolf-guard/#findComment-2119635 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hfran Morkai Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 *Cough*Thunder Hammers*Cough* Personal preference and fluff based but a thunder hammer is quite hurty, automatically stunning a vehicle provided you hit it and knocking wounded multi-wound models to initative 1 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/179144-anyone-else-notice-the-powerfists-on-wolf-guard/#findComment-2119640 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorgrim Blackwolf Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Hmm, I may have to nick that idea Decoy as it is a conversion that must be done and nothing says 'Thats going to leave a mark' like two power fists to the head! Who cares if its points ineffcient? Wolf Guard Bob SMASH!!

Decoy Posted September 21, 2009 Author Share Posted September 21, 2009 A pink curly straw, even. I mean, really. Who'd dare say anything to someone who can rip apart a Land Raider with his hands? More importantly, what would you say? "Hey! Pinky! Nice straw!"? You'd get clobbered.
