	'''Power weapons''' are a type of weapon in [[Warhammer 40,000]]. Power weapons look just like normal melee weapons , but what makes them actually useful is that they are sheathed with an energy field surrounding the blade. This energy field can in turn slice through even the toughest of armor. Some fluff writers call them disrupter fields or disruption weapons, which is at least a bit less generic sounding.

	For one reason or another, the glorious [[Daemon Weapon]]s of Chaos operate like power weapons(even if more recent rules reflect their peculiarity with added bonuses). Probably for the same reason that allows cheap guardsmen bayonets to be exactly as deadly as ''[[chainsword]]s'' in melee combat.

	8th edition changed this by making chainswords add one to the models attacks with that weapon, which makes logical sense.		8th edition changed this by making chainswords add one to the models attacks with that weapon, which makes logical sense.

	The more assault variant of the Guardian Spear (Yes, it is pretty absurd that there would be a more assault version of a spear, but here we are). Venatari Lances are two-handed power spears, that are wielded by the [[Adeptus Custodes\|Adeptus Custodes']] [[Venatari\|Custodian Venatari]].

	On tabletop, these Venatari Lances are a 12" Assault 2 S6 AP-2 D2 weapon. Slight overkill on GEQs thanks to the D2 but can also do good work against MEQs and Primaris Marines. Great if you want your Venatari to be more killy in close quarters.		On tabletop, these Venatari Lances are a 12" Assault 2 S6 AP-2 D2 weapon.

	The Power Hammer's more beefier cousin and one big enough that it can rival a Heavy Thunder Hammer is sheer power.

	Yes, you read that correctly. The rare and venerated power weapons are used as menial labor equipment.

	Also known as big-metal-death-fists-of-doom, and one of the [[Chainsword\|most]] [[Bolter\|iconic]] weapons of 40k, '''Power Fists''' are massive gauntlets which are encased within an energy field that breaks down molecular bonds when activated. They are intended to be worn with [[Terminator]] armour, but frequently you find people wearing Power Armour, or even '''NOT''' wearing Power ''Anything'', wielding Power Fists. The Emperor of Mankind had a power fist on his left hand, which he used to famously put [[Leman Russ]] in his place. Russ later said that the subsequent headache was from the drinking contest they had.

	[[Ork]]s, in their looting tendencies, have taken to mimicking Power Fists as '''Power Klaws''', which are like Power Fists except that they usually have 2-4 digits, and have massive grabbing blade-claws instead of articulated fingers. [[Commissar Yarrick]] famously killed an Ork and used his Power Klaw to replace his severed forearm. Why the [[Commissar\|Commissariat]] has not censured him for using xenos weapons is not entirely clear , but they probably let it slide because he's such a badass ({{BLAM\|That, and the battle-trophy claimed from the foul Xenos has been reconsecrated by servants of the Omnissiah prior to being turned in a prothestic}}).

	Some variants of Power Fist are called '''Power Claws''', which are basically Power Fists with the digits ending in razor-sharp claws. You more frequently see them among [[Chaos Space Marines]], but occasionally the [[Raven Guard]] or [[Space Wolves]] use them. The infamous Talon of Horus, used by [[Horus\|Horus Lupercal]] to kill [[Sanguinius]] and critically injure the Emperor, and later looted by [[Abaddon\|Ezekyle Abaddon]], is a Power Claw with an infamous history. Most of these, however, would technically be considered a form of Lightning Claws (see below).

	On the tabletop, Power Fists/Klaws double the user's strength, but makes him strike at I1. A popular tactic was to use it to instagib enemy ICs in assault by hiding the Fister behind other expendable troops, allocating wounds onto them instead. However, with 6th edition, this tactic is mostly rendered moot as now ICs and characters can issue challenges, so the Power Fister will most likely fall in battle should the opponent strike and kill him first or see that both get killed off. New wound allocation rules also make the Fister more likely to have a wound allocated to him, but that is slightly mitigated by the Look Out Sir! rule. [[Dreadnought\|Dreadnoughts]] have no such penalty to initiative or benefit of LOS! as they are walking death machines crewed by a crippled vet, yet are strangely not characters.

	In 7th Edition, challenges can only be issued to models in combat (in attacking distance), and both sides get 3" pile in at their initiative step. Thusly, if you plan carefully you can have the powerfister 6" away from the combat, have the enemy close in and unable to challenge, and then pile in onto combat at initiative step 1.

	The most common pattern is the Dreadnought Mark V Power Fist. The weapon takes the form of a massive metal gauntlet and features four clamp-like fingers that can open and close. The fist can be used to smash enemy units and vehicles and grab enemy units with its clamps. The '''Mark V Dreadnought Power Fist''' can be armed with an underslung Storm Bolter or Heavy Flamer.

	Another variant is the '''Venerable Dreadnought Power Fist'''. These Master Crafted Weapons are markedly more advanced than their basic counterparts, and feature four fully articulated and jointed fingers, allowing a greater range of movement than the clamps or bladed fingers of other Castraferrum Dreadnoughts, in a sense, it is essentially the Contemptor Dreadnought Power Fist in all but name. The next variant is the '''Ironclad Dreadnought Power Fist'''. These Power Fists feature larger "finger" clamps and thicker armor. The Ironclad Dreadnought Power Fist is equipped with an under-slung Storm Bolter or Heavy Flamer. Additionally there is the Blood Angels' '''Blood Fists''' which feature longer servo-manipulator "fingers" than the standard Castraferrum Dreadnought Power Fist and are designed to rip and tear through flesh, bone and armour more swiftly. The newest variant of the Dreadnought Power Fist is the NuMarines '''Redemptor Fist'''. A Redemptor Fist is a massive, articulated Dreadnought-sized Power Fist of advanced design used by Primaris Space Marine Redemptor Dreadnoughts as a primary melee weapon on one of their two weapon arms. A variation of the Redemptor Fist (presumably a '''Brutalis Fist''' given the naming convention of its other melee option) can also be mounted in pairs on a Brutalis Dreadnought.
