Power hammers are formidable melee weapon due in part to their size and disruption field, imparting tremendous power on anything they are brought to bear on, from magna-rivets to human bodies. Few foes can survive a direct hit from a power hammer, for even if the energy field doesn't kill them, the weight of the weapon probably will. {{Fn|5}} This brutal melee potency makes power hammers a popular weapon to [[ganger]]s in [[hive cities]], such as [[House Goliath]] on [[Necromunda (planet)|Necromunda]].{{Fn|5}} However , it can also be utilized as a weapon, most notably by [[Genestealer Cult]]s. [[Aberrant]]s use these weapons heavy power hammers on those they can catch, each swing crushing torsos and breaking spines in a burst of disruptive energy.{{Fn|1}}[[Abominant]]s wield an even larger and heavier version called a power sledgehammer{{Fn|2b}}, while [[atalan jackal]]s wield the lightest version, referred to simply as a power hammer.{{Fn|2a}} ==Images==<gallery heights="100px" widths="200px" mode="packed" caption="">Power Hammer Goliath HG.jpg|House Goliath power hammer{{Fn|5}}EscherHammer.jpg|[[House Escher]] Extremis-pattern Power Hammer{{Fn|3}}CharterMaster.jpg|[[Ironhead Squat]] [[Charter Master]] with Power Hammer{{Fn|4}}</gallery> ==See also==*[[Power Pick]]
