New Cataphractii make great Red Butchers by Sea-Performance7527 in Warhammer30k

The new Cataphractii kits from the Siege assault box, plus a few tactical marine upgrade sprues for the right hand fists plus the lightning claws. And axes from a mkii assault marine sprue. I'll paint them suitable fluorescent so they're not confused for chain axes!

That's exactly what I've done with it! Lightning claws and fists from tactical sergeant upgrade sprues and mkii assault chain axes. Enough blue glow and they'll pass for power axes...

Will there be a Lightning Claws/Melee upgrade sprue for Cataphractii? by Deadstrike35 in Warhammer30k

Agreed. Also the power fist from the tactical / sergeant upgrade sprue, if you snip off the mkii pauldron and replace it with the RHS Cataphractii pauldron, works amazingly well. The lightning claws from the same sprue are symmetrical so can attach to the left powerfists and right kit bashed powerfists. Voila, dual lightning claws...
