What is better for an iron clad, the fist or the hammer

 

[MidnightSun]

It depends on what role you're using it in and what's on the other arm. I'd personally go for Seismic Hammer just 'cause it looks much better.

EDIT: Oh, I didn't notice that the Chainfist wasn't a DCCW. Shit. Oh, Seismic Hammer all the way in that case.

 

[Captain Stillios]

I put both on mine, but then again mine is used as a Libby Dread.

 

[Wolf_Lord_Skoll]

Sesmic Hammer would be my pick. Chainfist doesn't get the extra attack. Added to that the +1 to damage is better than 2D6 Pen against everything short of AV14, and Sesmic Hammer is one of the best weapons for use against the monolith if you hit. (S10 with +1 to damage)

 

[Culler]

Seismic hammer without a doubt, seeing as how the dread strikes at initiative 1 with the chainfist iirc because it isn't a dreadnought ccw.

That too

the ironclad dread is totally dope, i'm surprised more people don't run them. i would go with the seismic hammer because only he can rock it and the +1 vehicle damage out weighs the less chance of a penetrating hit. so if you glance more often with the seismic, a 6 will still wreck it with that +1, like meltaguns.

But seriously, I vote for the seismic hammer. But if you play salamanders with Vulkan, why not run a normal dreadnought with multimelta?

because an ironclad with hammer, melta, and HF in a drop pod is better than a normal dreadnought with a multimelta in a drop pod.

and costs 40 points more, therefor is not comparable. I was just bouncing a question off of the guy.

 

[prairiehawk]

Well, i have the 40 pts for it, and im already running a regular with melta, so i figured id bump up to a clad. armour 13 is pretty tough to crack
