Imperial guard and 6th's Power weapons

So who's going to be modeling up power axes for their sergeants and the like to give them str 4 and ap 2 at no additional cost? I think guard blobs just got a lot more powerful, heck even with the extra costs of powerfists the blob will be a force to be reckoned with against terminators.

A good idea! Guard are low I anyway, so why not give them axes?
That's pretty sweet, wounding Marines on 4s is a blessing for Guard.

I think guard is going to be one of the strong allies with the new ally rules. Your sergeant proposal is just one more reason why foot guard is just so awesome now.

don't discount guard vehicles, templates deal full strength over the whole template now. So those medusa's and especially with bastion breecher shells just became that much more deadly, and the manticore, oh god the manticore.

Why would I use and axe when I can take a power fist?

I am guessing cheaper? And maybe the axe is not a specialized weapon so you can get a +1 attack for having to CCW?

IG Sergeants cant take power fists if I recall correctly?

Other wise, there is about a 10% better chance of causing one wound on MEQ with a Power Fist, so you're right

Wounding Marines and denying them an armor save, to boot.
