Eorek Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 so at topic states, I'm looking for a way to make a lightning claw seem smaller and more "agile" Maintaining the claws length and amount of blades but removing the mass of the powerfist beneath the claw... Has anyone tried this before? any tips and tricks are appreciated... Kinda looking for something like the codex art of vanguards in the BA codex.(don't have my codex at hand ...so I have no idea which page it's on...but it's on the page of the sternguard/vanguard entry) I mean if you read about people wielding lightning claws they are able retract them and Wield a bolter instead and so on...and I just can't see that happening with the lightningclaws available for powerarmour(or terminators for that sake). (Well... apparently calgar can wield his powersword in those powerfists ...so I guess everything is possible...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeaponAdept Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Lightening claws work so well because they have the sheer mass and kinetic energy of the fist driving the blades into armour. You could have lightenting blades attached to a normal fist but then you may as well have a power axe or sword. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zincite Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 You could have duel power weapons. Seen one or two people do that. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcAwsome Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Wouldn't those then look like Wolverine's claws? Or maybe you're looking for a kind of punching dagger? Those went through thick armour without the need for anything superhuman. Maybe google that for ideas? I have four nice EC curved swords I'll be using for lightning claws on some of my chosen as I doubt I'll be able to get my hands on too many claws. The EC have lots of cords attached to their shoulders so it really makes'em look stronger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NemFX Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 There are three types of lightning claws: Back of hand Knuckleduster Fingertips Your looking for that last one if you want agile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
