kharn_the_betrayer Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 I was looking over my purchases and talking my wife into another trip to GW (she wants some stuff too) I am considering a couple of SG boxes (one for squad, one for bits) and I was looking at the picture in the codex on page 67 where it shows a SG member with a powerfist and plasma pistol. Is it just me or is this the oddest looking powerfist they have made? It looks too long and beyond that the hand pose looks more awkward then normal. Is it just the picture or the model itself?

kharn_the_betrayer Posted May 29, 2011 Author Share Posted May 29, 2011 Looks better on yours, much better. For some odd reason how they photographed it, the bit just looks a tad off proportion.

Mostwanted Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 The Power Fist does look better in person, I really like it. It does look bigger than your usual clenched fist because the fingers are out stretched. Also the arm is more out stretched compared to the one you get in the Death Company box so this again makes it look a bit bigger. I don't mind the pose, but you can obviously make your own.

JamesI Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Its the best powerfist GW has made in my opinion. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/230861-the-oddest-looking-power-fist/#findComment-2775628 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kharn_the_betrayer Posted May 30, 2011 Author Share Posted May 30, 2011 Its the best powerfist GW has made in my opinion. I just thought from the perspective of the box art/codex pictures it tended to look a tad too long compared to other ones even open ones (chaos). I just thought it was odd looking, but wasn't sure if it actually was, good to hear it actually does look decent. Also kind of reminds me of the old SW one, but longer looking.

BLACK BLΠFLY Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Its the best powerfist GW has made in my opinion. Agreed 100 percent. Articulated fingers are very very very rare on power fists. Eye poke a daemon prince for the win. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/230861-the-oddest-looking-power-fist/#findComment-2775691 Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Drop Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Are we talking about the one that has 'baal' written on it? I really like it too, I think I'm gonna reposition it when I use it but I'm saving it for a special model as I doubt I'll be buying another box of SG for a very long time!

vharing Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 I have so far bought 2 boxes of SG and used both of those PF. To make my honour guard I and going to kit bask a SG set and a command squad set. I love that PF and like you, 1Drop, I am saving it this time for the perfect model.

Brother Nathan Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 i find it odd as is. mostly because it has no powercables, which isnt to hard to right Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/230861-the-oddest-looking-power-fist/#findComment-2776425 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Kovash Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 The weirdest looking PF goes to Captain Cortez: http://kofler.dot.at/40k/units/Crimson_Fis...tain_Cortez.gif It looks like they hacked off a terminator first and glued it on.

I am Legion Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 I think it's an awesome fist. I very much recommend it. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/230861-the-oddest-looking-power-fist/#findComment-2776796 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redo Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 I think it is a cool fist as well. I also like the old Space Wolves left hand Pfist and the Chaos Pfist. Both have those pointy fingers. As someone said...go the eye poke Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/230861-the-oddest-looking-power-fist/#findComment-2776836 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamaNagol Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 And, like the DC fist, it is a very rare Right Handed power fist compared to almost every other one available (barring the pointing Assault Marine one) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/230861-the-oddest-looking-power-fist/#findComment-2776936 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gv0zD Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Cool 'relaxed' fist. Anyway not worse than the one in Command Squad box. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/230861-the-oddest-looking-power-fist/#findComment-2777671 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelOfDeathXIII Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 I liked it a lot. The only powerfist I used because it looked great not just as an upgrade. I hope this pictures proves my theory the SG power fist and Chapter Banner are a perfect match. http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2011/080/2/2/sanguinary_guard_banner_3_0_by_reinoutjansen-d3c5fnn.jpg The weirdest looking PF goes to Captain Cortez: http://kofler.dot.at/40k/units/Crimson_Fis...tain_Cortez.gif It looks like they hacked off a terminator first and glued it on. I didn't know this model before but I agree with your points.

But the SG one is better due to the BA markings.

kharn_the_betrayer Posted June 3, 2011 Author Share Posted June 3, 2011 It does look 100x better in person. I picked up 2 SG boxes today and they are amazing kits. I think it was the picture angle. Time to get kit bashing. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/230861-the-oddest-looking-power-fist/#findComment-2780271 Share on other sites More sharing options...
