greedy fist and dual weapons

original thread ↗

Hi guys. a very simple one - if i wanted to use two hand weapons or a great weapon on my tyrant, does this mean he cant use the greedy fist? ie does it need a spare hand? I'm trying to get my tyrant to strength 7 and have enough points for a potion of strength as well, even more desirable to not strike last in the process!

Er... the Greedy Fist is a Talisman not a weapon.
Fair enough, but it gives you a parry save and behaves like an iron fist, so excuse my ignorance then. So its valid with dual weapons?

The greedy fist does not behave like an ironfist.  It does give you a 6+ ward save all the time, not just when attacked in close combat to the front.
x105 - keeping pace with my wins!

Think of it as a magic glove, like Michael Jackson use to wear, you could even model your character up grabbing at his crotch.

An object, typically an inscribed ring or stone, thought to have magic powers and to bring good luck.

I like the mascot idea.  Have your greedy fist be a gnoblar on you base.  Maybe the one with the big bag from the old metal scrap launcher.  Paint him up like one of Santa's elves.
Or you could model the gnoblar with a novelty foam hand.
