Wolf Priest Pocket Power Fist: Modeling Ideas, Please!


Karack Blackstone

Recommended Posts

Hello all.

 

I'm planning out my finished Logan GC, and I've noted the points to spare to give all of my WP's their pocket PF.

 

A pocket power fist is nothing to sneeze at on the table, to be sure.

 

Sadly, however, how do I model this weapon?

 

Please advise, and, above all, modeling ideas and concepts welcome!

 

Thanks!

I really like the tartarous powerfists.

 

not to big, and look more usable

 

Great Power Fist bit, no power armor XP

 

So, any ideas for a PA PF sized bit, not required to be worn...? That's the problem, unless I can get BP's and model up PF/CA and glue a BP holstered or mag locked onto the WP.

I think it’s OOP now, but there’s always that Minotaur chaplain

Yes, sadly he is OOP.

 

I'm wondering about a LA PF, RA Crozius / kitbashed TH w/ SW Backpack Banner, and a holstered TWC box holstered BP.

 

That might just work, and it's not exactly expensive, either...

I beeeeeelieve it's the same cut as the metal version. https://i.ebayimg.com/thumbs/images/g/DU0AAOSwjwZcI-ZL/s-l225.jpg

 

Honestly Im probably going to grind down both shoulderpads and replace them which should be pretty easy in finecast.

So thankfully I have not yet purchased models towards this build out.

 

I have some GH packs with a PF on each GHPL, the WGPL has SS/CSwd. That's not really the issue.

 

I have a real dilemma on placement for my Power Fists:

- Wolf Priests

- Intercessors

- Blood Claws

 

Thoughts please?

 

Which option is best for carrying the PF's?

- Wolf Priests with pocket PF, high wounds

- WGPL or BCPL in each BC pack

- Intercessors, each IPL carrying a PF each.

 

This is for a stupid high points list, more of a display showcase army, but still, I wouldn't mind playing it all one day.

 

So, PF's...

 

Where would you put them?

I put them in a BC 6 man squad

Pack leader and WGPL each got one

6 PF attacks on the charge hitting on 3s

 

They were able to do some damage to enemy units because of it and it made our battalion tax unit useful. The other 4 BCs were basically overwatch meat shields

I'd say Wolf Priest first, then Blood Claws, then Intercessors.

 

Wolf Priest's character protection gets them there more reliably, plus they generally want to be in the thick of things anyway.

 

Blood Claws are more assault oriented than Intercessors, so they give the Power Fists more punch (pun intended).

 

If you've got the points, definitely put them on Intercessors, because they've got as many attacks as a charging BC/WGPL - it's just that if BC are in the list then they're your frontline assault units.

I may need to revisit my list again, however I may drop something to get some additional points to grant all of my WP's and the WGPL's of my BC's a PF each. I need a spare 54 pts.

 

The problem is what to drop and then what to do with the leftover points.

 

I did look up stats; WP's with 4 Wounds is a pretty decent platform to carry the ones I already have points for right now. The interesting lesson will be to free up 54 pts. for six more PF's...

So, list modified again, this time, removed the MM from each Spartan.

 

Found enough points for each BC pack to have a WGPL with a PF, all of the WP's in the list leading the BC packs have a PF, and my FGA & BS Ven Dread just picked up a SB.

 

Should prove interesting, to type the least...
