What is YOUR best weapon and why?

**drummerholt1234**

Lash of Submission

Not exactly a weapon but it makes every thing else work better!

**Madgod**

The Khorne Daemon Weapon. Up to 18 S4 WS5 Power Weapon attacks at I5 when charging. My chaos lord just walks through a whole squad of tactical marines without them even hitting back.

**Ian Sturrock**

Storm Bolter. Comes free with terminators, 2 shots at a decent range, lets you assault after shooting it if you're a bit closer, and best of all, they tend to show up in quantity.

**cRaZy_MaChEtE_mAn**

Lighting claws! If you have 4 of them in a squad of termies and you charge that is 16 attacks with a chaplain that rerolls on fails to wound AND hit

**Tri**

The Maugetar

R36" S6 AP5 Assault 4, pinning, rending and counts a +2S Power weapon.

If only more people got this.

**Mekboy**

Assault cannon. Good number of shots, IDs T3 stuff and wounds MEQs on 2s, has a better chance to hurt armour 14 than a lascannon and can deal with 2+ saves via rending.

**yani**

Dark lance. No tank is safe and you never just have one.......

**Frank Fugger**

Nemesis Force Weapon; all the models who have it are WS5, it wounds 90% of the models in 40K on a 2+, and against vehicles every attack is a Krak Grenade

**Ronin**

The humble Ork choppa. It's the solution to everything (except in cases where powerklaws are needed)

**The Angry Commissar**

nice pic Ronin.

i play IG so id have to say the LC or plasma gun. take that DSing termies....!

**artyboy**

Deffrolla

wait ether that doesn't count or I can shoot it off (making it not an effective of a weapon). (omg its counts as a weapon debate all over again)

Actually the Monolith is safe... All you could do is glance it on 6's =).

**Frank Fugger**

The Monolith is also a waste of space, though.

**yani**

Black Templar LRs with blessed hull are also pretty safe against DL fire but you just ignore them and kill everything else

**Gamingnutrpg**

Well it all depends on such...

Vs infantry...DEVOURERS! Double your normal attack rate and reroll damage? Damn thats nice. Sure they are like shooting flies but with the amount of flies you shoot out you usuaally get a couple in the eyes of your opponent.

Though I love the Mind Blast...do psychic powers count?

**Typhon**

Twin linked rail gun, nothing is safe! Best tank killer in the game.

**KingCracker**

I HAVE to agree on the choppa. Im a CC Ork player, and Ive seen those just slaughter things. I run over tanks with choppas. When Im asked "well Ive got a new super weapon, what are you going to do about it?"
I always answer "Get more boyz" So basically I say "get more choppas!"
Also I think the Ork power klaw is just a hands down, serious killing weapon. NOTHING is safe from an Ork power klaw

**Frank Fugger**

It's a powerfist with Furious Charge. Berzerkers get them too. Plus WS5. And a 3+ save.

**Orkestra**

+1 vote for Powerklaws.
As the codex says, it's "Da best way to kill hard stuff".

Frank: I'll take 29 other t4 wounds over a 3+ save, on the survivability front.

Though responding to any of your posts is a bit close to feeding trolls for my tastes.

**Frank Fugger**

Let's just split the difference and say they're both rubbish.

**Crazy_Carnifex**

Genestealers.

**deadratman**

Obliterators.

**Ultrafool**

Shokk attack gun is the best gun to me, you roll awesomely and the things you were aimming at are gone! Unless you scatter.

**Orkestra**

I think that's a strange interpretation of 'compromise'.

**bebe-paquito**

Demolisher Cannon when you have other vehicles to draw fire.

**archite666**

the plasma gun in the hands of a guard vet.

Or the executioner cannon.

Either way, plasma!

Seriously, Monoliths are worth there points and then some. Deepstrike them in a deployment zone and watch them shoot up an opponents army.

**KingCracker**

Ill agree on that statement. Ive seen monoliths just make sink holes out of armies doing just that. In a tournament, sure they might not be too wise, but I dont play tournies, and Ive seen people blow some shtuff up with those.
