[[Commissar Yarrick]] is most famous for his power claw, which he tore from an Ork Warboss. Other armies also make use of the power fist including [[Chaos Space Marines]], [[Sisters of Battle]], and [[Eldar]].

An Imperial Power Fist

A power fist (aka power glove) is a large metal gauntlet surrounded by an energy field that disrupts solid matter. It is large and slow in combat, and so the bearer must be willing to take damage before they can strike back.[4] The benefits of the power fist are that it increases the user's strength, much like Power Armour due to the extra power put in by the cybernetics which allow it to move.
