Force fists. Like, a force weapon that's a power fist. It would be a force axe on steroids. I'd pay the extra ten points difference to have Strength 8 AP 1 on my librarian. Ok, maybe in the age of force axes and Iron Arm it's not so cool, but it would be neat at least from a modeling perspective.

Also, force claws. Come on - you're telling me you wouldn't spend 25 points to upgrade the force weapon into a force claw, and trade the bolt pistol in for another force claw? +1 attack, AP 3, and Shred on a weapon that can conceivably gain Instant Death? Awesome.

*squeaky cartoon voice* My sword is too big. My sword is too big!

Lord Kaldor Draigo can consume a sack of severed phalli. The Lizardmen have a special character who did it better, did it harder, and returned from the Warp with useful intelligence. All that, and he's four feet tall, green, and a lizard. Take that, you overgrown monkish man-child!

Just kidding. I'm starting Grey Knights Allies soon, though truth be told, I don't find this character or his fluff terribly interesting.

I find Draigo awesome because he epitomized the over-the-top-ness of 40k. The nerd rage he inspires is hilarious. And, apparently, in the books it expands his character a fair amount. Not that I really read BL stuff. I heard he sucker punches Azrael.

Hm. Well. I can't really get too mad at anyone who sucker punches Azrael.

Mostly I'm just amused that for everything in 40k that has a Fantasy equivalent, this is by far the weirdest. There really is a Draigo in Fantasy, and he really is a tiny lizard-dude. And he really does manage to make lemonade out of his time in the Warp, and he survives to get home after assassinating a bunch of Daemons and visiting Chaos barbarians.

Thunder hammers and power fists are so similar in their rules that I doubt anybody would care if you modelled some of your Knights with power fists and counted them as Nemesis Daemonhammers.

Also, Nemesis Doomfists are a thing. With DCCWs slowly getting phased out you can bet they'll be power fists next codex.

that is very neat idea but there is already a ton of weapons, gw want to make their array of weapons all unique.

So let's get this straight....you want a power fist that causes instant death....and you want to pay more for it?

Er... um... good point. I guess it would be good for punching 'Nids?

I very specifically asked for this when I found out Ward was writing Grey Knights. I am still a little sad it didn't happen.
