It gives you an advantage over most of the things you should be assaulting (i.e. If your only choosing between a fist and a claw, then i'd probably say get the claw.
Vehicles are a lot easier to assault now, especially since CSM have access to grenades so I don't need the fist as much since I can just glance the thing to death.įrom a modeling stand point I think the power fist looks so bad ass, its a shame that we have the challenge mechanic making them pretty useless whenever we get into close combat and have to issue and accept them. I almost always go with the only upgrade being a power sword. I'm lucky in that I don't have a lot of terminators in my meta, so I generally kit my champion out very cheaply. IIRC they are both specialist weapons so you wouldn't lose the +1 attack and you can choose to either take on termies/vehicles with the fist or MEQs and up with the claw. If you really want your champion to have a good chance to win challenges then you replace one weapon with a power fist and one hand with a lightening claw. about the same amount of points but I lose my bolt pistol. Now for me its between a pair of lightning claws vs a power fist. So what do you think? Should I go for the higher initiative power sword of lightning claw (single or in pair) or should I stay with the trusty power fist? but I lose the +1 attack for wielding 2 weapons since it's specialist weapon. The power sword gives no strenght bonus but it's AP3 and it strike at initiative, same for the lightning claw but with shred (bonus). So we are left with the power sword vs the lighning claw vs the power fist. The power maul have a good S +2 but AP4 doesn't cut it agains MEQ armies. The power axe is in the same boat with unwieldy and with only S +1 it's not worth the trade off (unless you're really short on points). The power fist is great for the S x2 and AP2. The options are power fist, power sword, power axe, power maul and lightning claws (single or in pair). The issue? Challenges! If he strike last the Chaos Champion is usually dead. So I played a game with my Chaos Space Marines last night and I was wondering if the time to replace those trusty power fist on my Chaos Champions had finally arrived.
