Power Axes are single or double-bladed axes with their edges sheathed in energy. Power Axes are especially favored by the [[Space Wolves]], [[Chaos Lord]]s and [[Techpriest|Techpriests]] of the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]]. The Raven Guard occaisonally made use of power tomahawks, a marginally lighter variant that could be thrown.

On the tabletop, Power Axes are AP2, +1S and Unwieldy, making your unit strike at I1. This is probably going to be your only way to cheaply kill Terminators in assault, if they haven't overwatched your guys to death or happen to be using Thunder Hammers and Storm Shields.

In 8th Edition, they're the opposite to Power Mauls by being +1S, AP-2 (making MEQ armour saves from 3+ to 5+ and TEQs 2+ to 4+) and, most important, they're no longer unwieldy! Pretty cheap too, being 1 more point than Power Swords and Mauls! 9th Edition further buffed them by making them +2S in addition to the AP -2.
