Category:Claw

A claw is a common weapon in the Iron Kingdoms. It describes the monstrous hands posessed by warbeasts and monsters. In the Warmachine game, the damage on a claw ranges from POW 10 to POW 16.

In past versions of the game, the claw was more or less given a fixed damage point. The strength of a model was added to the claw damage for total damage (Power + Strength). This meant that a claw could be given a POW of 2, applied to all models, and then affected by the Strength attribute. What might be a claw would sometimes appear as "Big Meaty Fist" if the designers desired a power increase without applying an increase to strength. In Mk4, all claws, whether fists or open palm, can be simply called "claws" because the POW is modified and displayed on the model card rather than added to a Strength ability.
