Power Fist - Notable Power Fist Patterns: Astartes Power Fist - This is the standard pattern of powered gauntlet worn by the Emperor's Adeptus Astartes.Boltstorm Gauntlet - The Boltstorm Gauntlet is a Power Fist that incorporates a Bolter and is used by the Primaris Space Marines, combining a potent melee weapon with the capacity for excellent ranged damage. The Boltstorm Gauntlet is a favoured piece of wargear for Primaris Space Marine Captains and other officers. It also bears a strong resemblance to the Hand of Dominion, the Primarch Roboute Guilliman's own relic weapon.Chainfist - The Chainfist is similar to a Power Fist, but is outfitted with a reduced, powered chainsaw blade. The Chainfist was originally intended for breaching bulkheads on starships and Space Hulks, but it is equally adept at tearing up vehicles on a planetside battlefield. Most Space Marine Terminators are equipped with a Storm Bolter and Power Fist, but occasionally the Chainfist will substitute for a Power Fist if the situation calls for a cutting edge.Lightning Claw - This formidable weapon consists of a powered gauntlet fitted with three or four sharpened blades. A matter-disrupting energy field is projected around the blades, allowing them to cut through armour and flesh with minimal effort. Lightning Claws are almost invariably worn as a pair by Space Marines or Chaos Space Marines who prefer melee combat. Lightning Claws are a more specialized weapon than Power Fists, as they are extremely effective against enemy infantry but have little impact on heavily-armoured vehicles.Lightning Gauntlets, Acreage - Lightning Gauntlets are a primitive form of Power Fist manufactured exclusively on the Feudal World of Acreage, a world divided into innumerable feudal demesnes, where armoured nobles clash and the people suffer under an oppressive serfdom. Lightning Gauntlets are much rarer than Power Fists as they require far more skill to create. As the gauntlets cannot be swung as fast as the weapons such as a lightning chain, the kinetic effect is lessened. Still, being struck in the face by a Lightning Gauntlet is likely to do some serious damage or even kill the unfortunate on the end of the punch. A layer of the same hides used by lightning chain wielders can be found inside the gauntlets, affording the same kind of protection.Mezoa Pattern Power Fist - Rather than encasing an edged weapon with a power field, a Power Fist uses the energy to disrupt material in a more violent fashion. Worn as a huge glove, when the mechanically augmented fist strikes its target it can tear open even the heaviest armour and burst flesh into a shower of blood and tissue. Unless worn as part of a suit of power armour, a Power Fist normally requires heavy backpack-mounted power sources connected to the fist via heavy cables. The Mezoa Pattern specialises in an oversized mantle to increase punching power, and a suitably braced the user can knock through the strongest bulkheads. Most are ancient relics, with the mantle inscribed with family heraldry or iconography indicating impressive victories.Midath Pattern Power Glove - The Forge World of Midath is a lingering enigma for the Adeptus Mechanicus of theCalixis Sector. Some of the Lathe Worlds' earliest records speak of Midath as a grand Forge World, capable of building superheavy vehicles, voidships, and even Titan components. Such a Forge World would be a wondrous boon to the Calixis Sector, if only it could be found. The Forge World has been "missing" for as long as anyone can remember, to the point where some question whether it was ever real in the first place. There are many arguments for and against the existence of Midath, but one of the strongest proofs is an exceptionally rare melee weapon known as the Midath Pattern Power Glove. Consisting of a single sheath that extends all the way to the shoulder, the flexible golden material that makes up most of the glove is of a substance unknown to the Mechanicus. It bends and flexes without resistance, and never crinkles or ruffles, maintaining its smooth, reflective surface at all times. Once active, the glove acts much like a standard Power Fist, albeit a low-powered one, but as the power field surrounds the entire length of the user's arm it can be used to parry quite effectively. Unfortunately, it is this same power field that tends to cause damage to the human nervous system the longer the glove is activated, limiting its use in extended combat actions. Those who have studied the Midath Pattern Power Fist determined that each glove was made to order, matching the specifications of their user in every way. Who these weapons once belonged to will likely never be known, and most of the remaining Power Fists sit in the private collections of high-ranking Calixian nobles.Power Fist with Auxiliary Meltagun - Essentially a standard Power Fist with a built-in Meltagun, this variant pattern combines the crushing might of a Power Fist with the tank-busting potential of a Meltagun . Though the priesthood of Mars forbids the wider Imperium to innovate or adapt in all matters technological, the addition of one weapon to another is seen as a forgivable extension of the Omnissiah's will.Tang War Pattern - These compact, slim-fitting gauntlets are lighter and smaller than the standard designs issued to Imperial Space Marine officers. Though they are not considered unique, they are by no means common in the Imperial armed forces either.
