Is there a power fist for normal human in the lore?

[Chicken]

If there is a power fist for human which class do you think would get it? Veteran? Zealot?
Probably not Psyker but maybe for Ogryn?

[Narky]

There is, but they're rare—due to the physical constraints a Power Fist imposes, non-augmented humans require an exoskeleton to support it's weight and even then it's a challenge to wield.

There are but they are not as powerful as Speesh mareeens version. Similar to the bolter we can use in-game. I'd love one for ogryn tho

Powerfist is considerd high end, high value, prestige equipment. so as long you dont raise at least to a rank that equials minimum an Impirial Comissar you have near null chance to get one as normal mortal human. and even than you dont want it, in TT it has a rule that makes it ever strike last, means you first must eat and survive enemy melee attacks before you can hit.

After 3 replies maybe I should give up this dream.

LOL no they are not, Sgt can get them. They are not more rare then a power sword. They dont hand them out to every line solider out there, but they are not "A RELIC OF THE PAST!"

Just like in modern military they dont strap every GI JOE with the latest and greatest.

Yes but they require the support of armor or an exoskeleton. Ogryn(s) should be able to use them without any issues but the "regular" humans would struggle.

If they add any variant then Veteran and Zealot would probably be the priority candidates but I can't imagine how they would balance it unless they limit it to a Tang War Pattern.

No they dont lol, do you all even read the lore?
Literally imperial guard sgt use them all the time.
You are right in the fact they struggle with them because its a very large hunk of metal, more the powerfist is more or less a janked up jaws of life in a glove.

If the zelot can get access to a thunderhammer, then the zelot should have access to a powerfist, because in terms of "rarity" a thunder hammer is much more uncommon to come across.

Yes, that's why I specified the smaller variant(s) after discussing the Ogryn which could use the "regular" ones.

Commissars were rocking power fists in DoW 2

everything is possible

[MattStriker]

Yeah, they're not standard-issue kit but they are quite common in the Guard for squad leaders expected to get into close-range fighting. Arbites also use them, as do Inquisitors of course.

[The Dess 2023 GOTY Edition]

Commisar Yarrick rocked a power klaw from an ork warboss he killed.

What about lightning claws? I am pretty sure there are some that standard humans can use so I hope they add them eventually. Probably my favourite melee weapon in 40k.

I actually dont know on power claws. Power claws were considered, i dont wanna say rare, but a very unique weapon even during the heresy.

Im not saying its not possible, but it would be quite rare i think.

To my memory Lightning Claws were always Power Armour exclusive.

and that could be just because of the sheer power amount needed.
