+Chaplain Matthias+ Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 I accidentally glued a lightning claw to a guy with a bolt pistol. I meant to glue a power fist. Unless I'm mistaken, initiates can't take lightning claws right? What can I do with this model? Sword brother? Some sort of veteran? Castellan?

bolvar Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 All of those that you name are fine. I'd personally use it in a crusader squad for a cheap upgrade for the sword brother Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/335995-bolt-pistol-lightning-claw/#findComment-4805125 Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Chaplain Matthias+ Posted July 2, 2017 Author Share Posted July 2, 2017 Is it a waste of points to take a sword brother with lightning claws but not a combined weapon? I'll still paint him up and maybe use him if I have a few points to spare Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/335995-bolt-pistol-lightning-claw/#findComment-4805127 Share on other sites More sharing options...
FortesMastery Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Single Lightning Claws are -2 str user that let you reroll wounds at 1 ye olde Melta bomb more in points over a Power Sword. Two give an extra attack Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/335995-bolt-pistol-lightning-claw/#findComment-4805219 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciler Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 I accidentally glued a lightning claw to a guy with a bolt pistol. I meant to glue a power fist. Unless I'm mistaken, initiates can't take lightning claws right? What can I do with this model? Sword brother? Some sort of veteran? Castellan?It is a valid build for a sword brother, a company veteran or a vanguard veteran. It is a bit more expensive but also more reliable than a power sword or axe (due to the reroll to wound). Alternatively, depending on the model, you could also clip of the claws and make a DIY power fist ?

Marshal_Roujakis Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 I use a Claw Pistol Sword Brother for one of my Crusader Squads, but then again that squad is built for 7th and not 8th... I'm not really sure how effective he is going to be for 8th edition, but he should still be able to reroll wounds with 2 attacks and his Pistol could be used within 1" during shooting phase, so some use there after all... besides, having free a free Sword Brother upgrade for Crusader Squads... can't complain :p Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/335995-bolt-pistol-lightning-claw/#findComment-4805467 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciler Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 By all accounts, the claw is "better" than either the sword or axe due to it's reroll. It is also more expensive.
