Thunderhammer Question

[Soundgear]

I am a little confused on the wording in the book on Thunderhammers, and I don't know anybody who uses them to bounce the question off of. The rulebook states that thunderhammers function like power fists, and have the added benefit of knock down/crew shaken. Does this mean that thunderhammers go on initiative 1 (like a power fist), or the models' initiative?

[Dosadi]

The key phrase is that it fucntions like a powerfist. So yes, you go at Initiatve 1.

Corbulo can't get them that nice initiative, but strength 9 hammers ain't so bad.
