A Lightning Claw is a specialized type of Power Weapon.

Overview

Angel's Talon Pattern Lightning Claw.[1b]

Lightning Claws are a variant of Power Fist technology most commonly used with Terminator Armour, trading sheer crushing power for several razor-sharp blades that extend from the armour itself. Each blade would be lethal even without their power fields, but when activated, the claws can penetrate almost any material with ease. Early models of Terminator Armour featured a single claw, allowing the warrior to carry a ranged weapon in the other gauntlet. Later configurations would specialise in dual claw-usage, but many still prefer the single claw for greater tactical flexibility.[6]

They are most commonly used by Space Marine Terminator Assault Squads; the entire squad can be armed with them, but can also be used by anyone with access to the armoury. Lightning Claws are generally worn as a pair, and are also used by Daemonhunters[13] and Chaos Space Marines.[7b]
