Genestealer Aberrant with a Power Hammer
The Power Hammer is a type of construction and mining equipment used by the Imperium[1] and Squats.[4]
However, it can also be utilized as a weapon, most notably by Genestealer Cults. Aberrants use heavy power hammers on those they can catch, each swing crushing torsos and breaking spines in a burst of disruptive energy.[1] Abominants wield an even larger and heavier version called a power sledgehammer[2b], while atalan jackals wield the lightest version, referred to simply as a power hammer.[2a]
