The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a type of construction and mining equipment used by the [[Imperium]]{{Fn|1}} and [[Squat]]s.{{Fn|4}}
==Overview==
Power Hammer utilize the same disruption field technology used in [[Power Swords]], much like [[Thunder Hammer]]s. 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.
However, it can also be utilized as a weapon, most notably by [[Genestealer Cult]]s. [[Aberrant]]s use 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}}
