LordofDeath11 Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Hey guys, I am currently doing a conversion of Marneus Calgar to make him my Blood Angels Commander, something I've always wanted to do. The only problem I'm facing is the kid has two power fists. I really wanna run him as WYSIWYG so I was wondering if it's legal to run a commander with termy armour and two power fists. As far as I can interpret, this load out is not legal but just thought I'd check with you guys first so I can save myself having to convert his fists into claws. Cheers. -LD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leardinal Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 I am pretty sure it is legal, since the only way you get a bonus attack is with another power fist. In the options, it says trade out bolt pistol and/or chainsword for:....Power Fist...25pts. To me, this says that you have to buy the first Fist at 25pts, then a second and another 25pts. While it does make a cool looking model, imo +1 attack on one model isn't worth 25pts, but if wysiwyg, thats how I would do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesI Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Pretty sure 2 fists is not legal for captains in terminator armor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordofDeath11 Posted July 25, 2010 Author Share Posted July 25, 2010 It's just the way the codex has it set out in sequence. "Replace power armour, boltgun, chainsword w/ term armour (storm bolter/powersword) for 40 pts, then goes on to say you can replace power sword with; lightning clw 5 pts, power fist 10 pts but the options for replacing the storm bolter only gives you; a lightning claw or thunder hammer. Maybe I might give him one fist and one LC. If so, depending on which weapon i use in that round of assault he would still get 3 attacks, yes?

Leardinal Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 oh. I forgot he needed to be in termy armor. Just looked at the entry: can't swap out storm bolter for power fist. But hey, if you want something similar, you can run him with two thunder hammers, just say he has "Super Power Fists" using TH rules :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But making them both claws will give you 4 attacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leardinal Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Well, I ment keep the two power fists, but make them look fancy. Thunder Hammers are essentially power fists with a little extra bonus rulewise anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't seem to envision which one . He's looking pretty bad ass though, I'll try and get my hands on a camera and put up some snap shots of him. Heads he will be crushing, indeed.
