Space Marine Captain loadout?

[Inquisitor Nelson]

Basically, I'm working on a captain conversion at the moment (Blood Angels) so it doesn't matter too much how effective the combo would be in game, does anyone know if two power fists is still a viable combo in the new codex (no points needed or anything, I just haven't gotten around to getting it yet)? Thanks!

There isn't a new BA codex.

There is the existing one that pre-dates 7th ed. And in that you can replace your chainsword/boltpistol for a powerfist so yeah you can do both if you really wanted to.

Yeah...the current BA codex is from 5th edition. It's why it's slated to get a fixed up soon.

And yes, that combo is fine.

[Inquisitor Nelson]

Ahhh, thank you very much :) For some reason I thought it had been rolled into the Marines codex along with Black Templars, my mistake - thank you very much!

Not sure why you want to run 2 PF though. If you'd run something similar you might even consider a LIghtning claw & PF instead, since it gives you choice of the weapon but doesn't make you lose any attacks since both are specialist weapons.

It is for the modelling purposes, as the OP says:

Two Storm Shields always beats out Powerfists or Thunderhammers in coolness factor. Come on bro...

[Tyrendian]

true... reminds me of that one Khador Warjack that only comes out of its shell if it wants to kill you or something to that effect :D

I would go for power fist & lightning claw. It looks the same but with claws.
