spectre312 Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 I searched with all kinds of different wording, and didn't get the answer I was looking for... When furious charge happens with a model with a power fist, do they strike at 2? or dot hey still strike at 1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marine Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 doesn't the rule book say powerfists are always initiative 1 regardless of grenades or furious charge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waaanial00 Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Dont forget that they have a +1 AFTER the doubling of the strength. So for example a Marine with power fist will strike at I1 S9!!!! Up to a max of S10 though. Wan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up to a max of S10 though. Which is quite pointless as already S8 will wound T6 models on 2+ and instant-kill T4 models. The only benefit S9 will give you is against T7 models, and I can't readily come up with anyone. Now, against vehicles S9 have merit, but only for Power Armoured Sergeants as you should have a Chainfist in your Terminator Squad giving you significantly better armour penetration.

Isiah Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 doesn't the rule book say powerfists are always initiative 1 regardless of grenades or furious charge Indeed BRB p42: "Power fists, however, [...] are always delivered at Initiative 1 (ignore Initiative bonuses from special rules, wargear etc.)."

Upgraded carnifex can be T7. Wraithlords are T8. Also S9 can pen AV 14, S8 cannot. It matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frogstaff Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Funny how that on a power armor board, that sometimes slips from peoples minds. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
