darkangel1030 Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 In the DA dex the corvus hammer is only allowed to be taken by RW black knights. But being a unique weapon of caliban i thought it would be a cool power weapon for a vetco marine or vet sergeant. I saw someone used one in WD parade ground(cant remember what issue) and decided to model one but am unsure of what kind of power weapon if should be used "as is". Does anyone have any ideas? Was thinking power axe, but not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRSFACE Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 I like utilizing it as a Power Axe. It's a weapon meant to be used by a guy on a bike, so saying a guy not also on a bike utilizing it would make it unwieldy but AP2 rather than Rending would be kosher by me. It's already +1 strength, so, I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jehoel Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Corvus Hammer works as a maul for the Black Knights, so I would use it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheForgottenAngel Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 You could always paint your veterans as dismounted Black Knights, its not unheard of and was written about in the book "Ravenwing" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortysl Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Corvus Hammer works as a maul for the Black Knights, so I would use it that way. In the fluff sense or rules sense? If you mean the rules sense, you may want to re-check the stats for Mauls and Corvus Hammers. OP, I've actually already done this for a Veteran Sergeant. I use mine as a Thunder Hammer; it's unusual enough that it isn't easily categorised as anything else and I find the power field generator on the model gives credence to the idea.

darkangel1030 Posted September 10, 2013 Author Share Posted September 10, 2013 Thanks for the replies. I like the idea of using it as a thunder hammer. I also like the thought of some dismounted black knights. Not sure how to use them or if i can but sounds cool. Take care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Sergeant Bohemond Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 For dismounted I would use either a command squad or company-veterans tooled out with power weapons and bolt pistols. Depending on whether you want more than 5 or not and how crammed your elite section is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavement Artist Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 That force corvus idea is getting stolen. You vets are clever folk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
