I am no longer active 40k player and I don't check rules changes, so Slawek would have to confirm my thoughts. When I used to play frequently, power fists in units were 'invisible' and couldn't be chosen as a specific target of h2h attack. Tyrant had to kill the whole squad of standard marines before he could wound models with power fists. with 2 pf in a squad it was not a big problem to kill big bugs.

if you are a space wolf and have two powerfists in a squad....

sarge + HQ (chaplain, commander etc.)?

HQ can be picked out....
SLAAAAAAAWEEEEEEK! any insight on this? is killing tyrants easy now?

speaking of power fists...
don't terminators have 2 of these? 2 fists = 2 attacks?

no, but they have 2 attacks anyway thanks to terminator honours (terminator armour +1A).
I'm not sure if pf is their basic equipment.

EDIT: Mahon - yup, but they usually had some kind of INV 4+ protection

chain fists, thunder hammers and lightning claws sound even more nasty...

first two are basically power fists (with some additional nasty options)

Speaking of 40k rules:
No - one can't pick up Power Fists out of a squad members.
Yes - one can pick heroes from squad, as most of them are treated as separate unit in HTH.
Killing a Tyrant in Close Quarter is not that easy for a squad with a single Power Fist, but if they are numerous enough, they should handle it before it kills all of them. A Thunder Hammer instead of Power Fists tends to improve this situation quite a bit. Lightning Claws on the other hand won't help much as Tyrant is Toughness 6 meaning you need 6's to wound him with those (and 2's with a Power Fist).
Anyway a nice dread it is.

Independent Characters as HQ can be singled out... But ie terminators do not have problems with killing big bugs.
Big squads with powerfist sarge have a chance too. The best guy to kill Hive tyrant is GK master - S6 force weapon

Misiu was faster than me
