Challange IG sargeant, he strikes last, he has low toughness, he dies! Looks like were back in 3e edition where you could only hope your character strikes first or survives...

Isnt this thread nonsense? Having reread the rules you cannot choose to just have a power axe. I believe its "power weapon" is listed in the guard codex and not an "power axe" which is specifically stated in the 6E book as different . If guard could take/had power axes it would have been FAQ'd.
Just shell out for that power fist!
Power Weapons are WYSIWYG.
So, if the sgt has an axe, it is a power axe. You can give him a spear!
QUOTE Jwolf: "Besides, Tynskel isn't evil, he's just drawn that way. "
and the cheesy beardy metagaming begins.
Equiping them with a spear or axe when they have a sword as per the codex or FAQ (or any other way round) is illegal. If you change from the wargear in the codex entry or what the standard model comes with is like swaping a bolter for a heavy bolter without paying points for it . "Power axe", "power lance" and "power sword" are now completely different and that is why on page 61 of the rulebook they have different entries.
the codex doesn't say sword it just says power weapon, if you stick with the bog standard models it's a sword but you can model them differently and if you model them with an axe, you have to use the axe rules, you CAN'T use the sword rules.. You go by WYSIWYG. Catachan models especially would be easy to model with axes.
