Dreadnought Chainfist....a powerfist?!

[thade]

Understand that I don't disagree, but I did have some doubt, so I've been playing devil's advocate here. There is some discrepancy, mostly because of the "pretty pictures" (calling them powerfists) which are in the codex, but the wording of "Dreadnought close combat weapon" is also unsatisfying, but it's not only listed in the wargear for Dreads (e.g. Defiler, Soulgrinder) so it likely is a "proper noun" as it were.

 

So here we stand: DCCWs at initiative, Dread Chainfists at I1, both award the off-hand attack bonus.

 

Thanks for helping me worth this through.
