maverike_prime Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Okay, I know the standard stuff, Halberds, swords, and less often maces and hammers. All of those are used by the Grey Knights. What about stuff like lightning claws? I guess my real question is would Nemesis Force Claws be in-character for Grey Knights? I've been thinking about it and the Grey Knights are supposed to be the epitomous Shinning Knights, the warriors who stand against the darkness and devil himself. Swords and Halberds fit with that theme. But then I think about claws and I think of dangerous creatures, images of Grendel and terrible beasts. Even thinking along the lines of Wolverine, even he's a bit of a beast and defiantly not fitting with the whole "Shinning knight" idea. So, yeah. What do you all think? Would claws work for Grey Knights? Yah or Nay? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/184832-weapons-used-by-the-grey-knights/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
hendybadger Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Rules wise Im not sure. But model wise they would look very impressive Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/184832-weapons-used-by-the-grey-knights/#findComment-2184962 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkKnightCuron Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Unfortunately, I think most Grey Knights can only use certain weapons, as they view most other weaponry as 'lesser' or 'inferior' to their own. Force Nemesis Claws, on the other hand, sound kinda cool, but I'm not sure how you'd pull it off in the codex rules. Perhaps master-crafting the force nemesis weapon? Digital Weapons?

silversmith82 Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 In the Grey Knights Omnibus, Chaplain Durendin had twin lightning claws. No option for them currently but I'm guessing they'd be NFWs that gave an extra attack and re-rolled to wound. A bit too overpowered IMO especially on a chaplian who'd re-roll to hit too lol.

Devon M Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 I think that fluff wise its up to the individual GK to choose what weapon they want to carry. Many choose swords and halberds, but some choose other weapons. As far as in the came, I think that as long as you make it clear that the four PAGK in your squad are using nemesis force weapons in the form of claws, then your opponent will understand that your not running a bunch of lightning claws.

c-wrex Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 I rather like the idea of Grey knights using two short swords for the NFW. Maybe a bit more 'knightly' than claws, but still dual blades.

Lungboy Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Doesn't it say in the codex that as long as the material used to make the weapon is psychically active, an NFW can be made into any weapon shape? My GM conversion made from Rex has a single lightning claw, that will just be a claw-shaped NFW with no extra special rules.

Mal Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Rules wise, the norce nemesis weapon is labled as a 'weapon' not as a 'sword ro halbard'. So by strict RAW and combat weapon can be made into a force nemesis weapon based on the weilders personal tastes in armament. After all with the odds already stacked so highly against GK's their chapter masters and chapter artificers are likely to play to the individual troopers strengths... So if the trooper perferes to use a lightning claw, then he gets a lightning claw.... if he prefers to use a hockey stick... then he gets a hockey stick...
