Id just chuck whatever is on the sprue. MilkmanAl Longtime Dakkanaut. Well it's pretty 8th specific. There are also much fewer ways of getting more attacks as well, which factors into it too. Case in point, it goes too far as in, almost half the cost in pushing things like 5 terminators or MANz to be point units.
There are too many things in the point range that deal with multi-wound models and armor much more effectively. I'd just rather have more of something cost effective or something simply better at AT. Even 10 is a bit rough for that, given the worse WS in guard. Neophyte Steadfast Ultramarine Sergeant. In some of my first trial lists, I ran 5 man capheracti with 2xClaws. They blended all sorts of stuff.
Better when a HQ was nearby for buffs chaplain preferred, but captains work as well With most of the paired weapon rules gone, and no extra attack for charging, getting a good volume of attacks going can be rough.
Paired claws still grant the attack, and TDA have a decent base. Getting a re-roll to hit of some sort helps convert those rolls to hits, and the re-roll on the wound from the claws helps make them stick. One game they pulled apart a defiler.
So offensively, the claw loadout works. A more classic load with stormbolters and fists can work as well. Nice volume of fire from the bolters, and fists still crump heads. Lower volume of CC attacks can make cold dice noticeable. And to bring us back to the original topic; Chainfist. The AP is nice, but the reliable 2W cinches it. The dice will always screw you given the chance; avoid giving them the opportunity.
To be fair, my experience was with capheracti. Land and hope for the long charge, with the command re-roll. And if I had to do it over again, I would probably put a chainfist on the sarge.

Feared everywhere from the battlefields of Armageddon to the underhives of Necromunda, these weapons can cleave through armor and flesh as if they were vapor.
On the tabletop these weapons were generally considered somewhat milquetoast until recently thanks to their 1 damage output, with most of the emphasis placed on the heaviest options such as the thunder hammer, which combined fixed damage with a high strength bonus.
With the release of the new Codex: Space Marines and the subsequent FAQs however, these options have all seen significant improvements and tweaks, both in terms of attributes and points values. All of the 5-point power weapons saw major adjustments. Each of power axes, mauls, and swords improved their strength bonus by 1, e. This is done by multiplying the probability that a wound will be dealt by the probability that a save will be failed.
The strength of the attack is important due to the variation of the Toughness characteristic of the target; since these power weapons are primarily in the domain of Space Marines the baseline Strength is set to 4. Note that because the lightning claw gives a bonus attack I needed to incorporate a means accommodating that effect. I conservatively assumed 5 attacks for the baseline, which is equivalent to a Space Marine Captain with a single lightning claw charging an opponent.
The results are compelling. Outside of a narrow range of toughness and high saves — at which point you may likely run into invulnerable saves that further blunt additional AP — the lightning claw is unquestionably the superior choice thanks to the combination of more attacks and the option to re-roll Wound rolls. But the extra attack will make up for this deficiency most of the time.
Note that this assumes a relatively moderate boost from the extra attack; for units like Sergeants the effect is even more pronounced. Hours of painstaking work based on millennia-old templates and designs go into fashioning the weapons from the rare components required to grant the fist its singular strength. So difficult are some of the parts to produce, especially the shielded containment chambers of the power core and the web of field emitters arrayed across the fist's fingers, that they are often scavenged from older weapons.
Many rare and exquisite examples of the Power Fist exist within the ranks of the Adeptus Astartes , such as the paired weapons known as the Gauntlets of Ultramar worn by Marneus Calgar , Chapter Master of the Ultramarines. These ancient weapons served the Chapter Master during the Battle of Macragge , where they split the skulls and spines of countless Tyranid bio-horrors.
A well-maintained Power Fist is a near-priceless weapon to its owner, carefully cared for and stored with the reverence reserved for a great treasure. This respect for the weapon goes beyond simple superstition and matters of honour, and has as much to do with the impressive combat capabilities the gauntlet possesses. A Space Marine is wise to respect his weapons, lest they fail him in battle -— this is especially true of one as deadly as the Power Fist.
A Power Fist is a formidable close combat weapon capable of pulverising armour, flesh and bone with horrific ease. Taking the form of a heavy servo-powered gauntlet, it is commonly worn as part of a suit of power armour , replacing the ceramite plates from forearm to fist.
The real killing might of a Power Fist comes not from its piston-enhanced grip, though this alone could crush a man's helmet and the skull within, but rather the disruption field that surrounds it. Backed by a battle-brother's strength, a Power Fist can sunder even the heaviest armour or rupture flesh as though bursting a bloody, overripe fruit. This field tears into matter at a molecular level and anything that remains for more than a moment within its grip is ripped apart in the most appalling fashion.
Keeping these superior energy fields charged requires heavy cables linked to the armour's power system. The generators are also rare and difficult to maintain, making such a weapon a sign of status, even within the Adeptus Astartes.
