Editing Power weapon (section)

====Power Fist Subweapons====
Around the end of the 41st Millennium. The Space Marines started to realize that there is enough space on their Power Fists to put a secondary weapon. Other than a Chainsword or modifying it into a clawed gauntlet. Nassir Amit had the same idea centuries earlier. Who mounted [[Storm Bolter]]s on his Chainfists. The more cynical could say that Games Workshop's Codex creators were stealing ideas from their own Black Library writers. Though at the pace GW works, [[rage|gaming groups have to house rule them until official versions are released.]] You'd think they'd be one step ahead after shuttering their publishing deal with FFG. Another famous example are the Gauntlets of Ultramar used by [[Marneus Calgar]], which are themselves similar to [[Roboute Guilliman]]'s Hand of Dominion. They tend to be depicted as Master Crafted Storm Bolter Power Fists.

The most common variant is the Power Fist with Auxiliary [[Meltagun]]. Allowing Deathwatch Terminators to destroy vehicles and hulk-smash the survivors. Nor does it require them to exchange their other ranged weapons for a Meltagun. A typical load out is a Deathwatch Termi with either an [[Assault Cannon]], [[Cyclone Missile Launcher]]/[[Storm Bolter]] combo or [[Combi-Bolter]] paired with a [[Meltagun]]. It makes more sense than attaching a Storm Bolter to it. As Boltguns require a machinegun chainlink to feed Bolts into the weapon. No real need for a Thunder Hammer or Lightning Claws when you can Overwatch them to death than sucker punch the survivors.

The second variant is a Space Marine Terminator Captain with a wrist-mounted [[Grenade Launcher]]. Because they want to turn half the enemy squad into paste before charging in. It's best paired with a ranged relic weapon or a [[Combi-Plasma|Combi-Plasma Bolter]] for maximum [[dakka]].

Primaris Marines in Gravis Armour get in on the fun with their own versions. Courtesy of [[Cawl]]. The [[Boltstorm Gauntlet]] coming in semi and full auto flavors. The latter appropriately called Auto Boltstorm Gauntlets. Though only Aggressors get access to the automatic versions. There are also the Flamestorm Gauntlets. Because these guys really hate hordes and over sized bastards with multiple wounds.
