A mining equipment that has been turned into a improvised weapon.

The Power Pick is a type of construction and mining equipment used by the Imperium meant to shatter diamond-hard boulders into sizable chunks. The power field enveloping the the point of the Power Pick is sharp enough to poke deep holes into armored vehicles.

Yes, you read that correctly. The rare and venerated power weapons are used as menial labor equipment. And they don't require a power cable, unlike the "new" power weapons given to unimportant people like Imperial Guard whoever. Don't you just love the Imperium?

Due to its hard sharp points the Power Pick has been utilized as a weapon by rebel factions, most notably by [[Genestealer Cult|Genestealer Cults]]. Aberrants use these simple weapons, which are capable of piercing ceramite when struck hard enough.

On tabletop it is a makeshift Power Axe. You get the D3 damage and AP-2, but you don't get the bonus point of Strength and they're a colossal 16 points each (now only 10 with Chapter Approved). Interestingly enough also a choice for the Neophyte Leader, although with only S3 and 2A it's an utter waste of points and efficiency compared to the cheaper (4 point) power maul, or the free chainsword/cultist knife.

However, it is now updated to allow a free Rending Claw attack for each attack made with the Power Pick.
