Actually, I change my favorite weapon.

I now choose the Shrieker Cannon. Makes targets blow up.

Failing that, the Harlequins Kiss. Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside when it "kisses" you.

I just decided that D-cannons are pretty awesome too.

Bomb squigs.

If "I only have to prick you" is important for you, we should see some GK stuff up there with all their countless ways of instagib!

It hits so hard that it makes tanks bleed.

That raised a rye smile...The Autocannon, simple efficient reliable, and strength 7 so it slaps Infantry, heavy infantry, Transports, medium armour and can even glance armour 13...All round good weapon. 2nd choice would be Exitus rifle and pistol, what a piece of engineering. 3rd Shok attack gun.

If I could make my own, it would be a man portable Gatling Railgun, mass AP1 fire, yes please.

The old necron warscythe. No saves of any kind

Holy Orbs of Antioch

Idk, do gauss weapons still disintegrate you layer by layer, if so than a definite yes for the Heavy Gauss Cannon (fluff wise, not game wise).

Nothing in particular for ranged, but Force Weapons definitely for close combat.

No, if they hit a joint the poison would kill the marine inside. Or the eyes, or the mouth grill, or anywhere other than breast plate and pauldrons.

Good Ole Thunder Hammer!

Gauss flayers, baby. Long live the green plastic rod.

Actually no. The marine's oolitic kidney would just filter the toxin. Of course, this would take time, and it would weaken the marine but not incapacitate him. A Space Marine has superhuman endurance both physically and mentally.

Chaos termi lighting claws, and the turbo laser destructor. Str D FTW.

The looted golden throne.

Burna. The perfect solution for your GEQ/MEQ problems.

Actually yes, the DE use a myriad of toxins that make things like a cocktail glass Botulinum, Anthrax, Ricin, Sarin, Cyanide, Strychnine, Hemlock and Amatoxin look like a beakers of childs sugar free juice.

VS marines they would use poisons specifically created to overwhlem the marines ability to counter and cope. I mean they use poisons that can easily drop a carnifex (remembering nids themselves can have acidic and toxic blood) and this is using tiny glass-splinter style needles with only a slight coating of hypertoxin. Space Marines are not invulnerable gods.

They are the masters of causing pain and death, and their weaponsmiths, chemists and haemonculi excel at creating ever more potent, disturbing and destructive hypertoxins.
Like the Hex Rifles payload - which is a weaponised virulent plague created to turn people into glass.

Hence - Liquifier Guns and Hex Rifles are among my fave ever weapons

^agree with this for the Hexrifle. Nothing better than having an Assault Sniper Rifle that once it kills you, I have a new lawn ornament!!!

im gonna vote for the heavy bolter. love it both in space marine and in 40k.

Mine is the GORECHILD.


Come and take a closer look!

Really now...I wonder how large sections of Commoragh got leveled by three Chapters during the Great Commoragh Raid. According to Codex: Dark Eldar, splinter weapons are ineffective against space marine armor.

The leveled sections were leveled by imperial ships.

It also states that while it stopped good amounts of splinter shards, they still got hit and dosed. Another important thing to remember is that that took place in M35, during the earlier days of the Dark Eldar and while the Eldar Aristocracy was still in play and we're now in M41 there's only been about 5-6000 years of improvement to be had there.

That they are capable of putting down anything they can hit is represented by the 4+ to wound. It working is represented by the target failing its armour save.

Maugetar

S6 AP 5 Assault 4 Rending Pinning (can choose extra shot or no cover saves) fired at BS7 in game- can ruin infantry and any armor value regardless of cover
in assault it is a strength 6 power weapon

and just saying you can really only have one favorite

Leman Russ Battle Cannon!

Making Chaos space marines PAY! Five marines at a time!

But these are Dark Eldar Toxins, they know their gak. In Blood Gorgons they actually mad a chaos marine go insane form the pain.

Except what a lot of people do is have a favourite infantry gun, favourite tank gun etc.

Again, they would mostly be hitting their breast plates and pauldrons.

If it hits an eye, or a mouth grill, or a joint, or anywhere other than the breast plate/pauldron, the marine is dead. Slowly, painfully.

They have weapons so sickening as to make nurgle blush

Just like lasguns then. Only if the weak points are hit can the marine be hurt. Most hits would be ineffective.

Thunder hammers. Its just so nice to be able to say "Now I bring down the thunder".
