Rule about Magneus Calgar

[jrb]

In the big rule book it states that any models with a Power Fist starts close combat at initiative 1, even if it is in cover.

Does this still occur with Magnus Calgar, who has a initiative value of 5?

[Biowraith]

well yeah.... what on earth would make you think otherwise?

And more importantly, he doesn't start at I1 he strike at I1. small word, big diffrence.

dont forget calgar also has a power weapon so he can chose to use that instead of his powerfist

[Llamafex]

To clarify: He has a higher initiative because he's a character (and really pretty good). If he strikes with his powerfist, that doesn't matter and he strikes at I1, same as everyone else. If he decides he doesn't need the fist, or if his power weapon is a better bet (like he only has one wound left and doesn't want to die before hitting your gribble) then he can elect to use that instead and strikes at I5, but not at double strength.

The I5 is for I tests and sweeping advances. And the occasional power sword attacks that he can make.

Actually, all chapter masters and captains have I5. Other then that, spot on.
