→Description
It is similar in characteristics to an Imperial [[Power Fist]], being an armoured, powered gauntlet with a piston-driven pincer comprising two to three snapping blades. These are sheathed in energy the same way a Power Fist is, and so can effortlessly rip through any armour, tearing any enemy into bloody paste. It is particularly effective against vehicles. These weapons are amongst the biggest and choppiest an Ork can possess and so many of them are often owned by [[Warboss]]es or by particularly brutish [[Nob]]s, in which hands Power Klaws become even more effective, due to their skill and strength. Most commonly, though, they are used to complement [[Mega Armour]].{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|3b}}
One of the notable non-Orks to use a Power Klaw is Imperial [[Commissar]] [[Sebastian Yarrick]], who lost his arm to [[Warboss]] [[Ugulhard]] during the defence of [[Hades Hive]], in the [[Second War for Armageddon]]. Yarrick slew Ugulhard, and later had the Warboss's own Power Klaw grafted to replace his missing arm, and specially modified so that he would could use it. Besides being a formidable weapon, it is a potent symbol to strike fear into the heart of any attacking Ork.{{Fn|5}}
