well, i assume you mean 'power' fists?!
for a 'take all comers' list or indeed any tournament list, power fists are *much* better than a simple power toy!
all UC's now can't be singled out except by an IC in base-to-base, or through 'torrent of blows', meaning 9 times out of 10, going last has absolutely no disadvantages for the UC...
also, a power fist ensures that the unit can handle any sistuations, like say a dreadnought or wraithlord managing to assault!!! (and yes, i can happen very easily too!) no UC's have the strength to punch through av11 or higher and even with d.strength, you still need 6's to wound a wraithlord/talos/big death gribbly... a power fist can easily swat the bothersome pest in 1-2 rounds on average for the loss of only a few ablaitive wounds
cheers!
