Thread won. You can all go home now.

I prefer the thought of an exterminatus. You can virus bomb a planet, leaving structures intact, or you can stop pussy footing around and just set fire to the whole atmosphere.

Virus bombs are the first stage of a two stage attack that is the Exterminatus.

The second stage is setting the atmosphere on fire after the life-eater virus has turned nearly everything into combustible gasses.

**morpheus's child**

drop pods. complete lack of subtlety.

**MechaEmperor7000**

Oh yeah the Eye of Terror. Negative Space Wedgie is never subtle.

The Imperial guard

'My lord, generic planet x has had a minor uprising'
'... Send those 3 million troops we got hanging around out the back'
''Um.. sir do you really want to send 3 million guardsmen for a minor uprising?'
'Your right, send a dozen or so tank regiments with them.'

For me it's the old metal Epic Ork Gargants with the indelicately places massive main cannon (anyone got a picture of the Groin-Gun Great Gargants?)

Subtle as a brick wall acros a motorway...

As for me I'm jumping on the Exterminatus bandwagon. Nothing says tactics like making the faces of your enemies melt off and catch fire from orbit.

I see your virus bomb and raise you one cyclonic torpedo, magna-melta warhead. Why kill everything when you can physically annihalate the planet?

TBH I'd have to agree with L. Wrex, a Thunder Hammer is about as un-subtle as it gets. I suppose this would be the thread to remind people of the saying: "Aye, though I walk in the valley of death, I fear no darkness, for I am driving 72 tons of feth you!"

Sure, but if you're going to do that, lets raise the bar above even the Planet Killer and go for 6x Blackstone Fortress linked shot of ultimate doom

Commander Chenkov.

10 million men lost for a single fortess, and he complained that it took so long, so dragged him men for a nice, romantic walk.

Over a minefield.

In soviet Imperium, commanders kill you...

Pretty sure in the regular Imperium the commander kills you to. Commissars.

**nosferatu1001**

Commisars are not part of the command structure

Angron. Nothing says "unsubtle" like a guy with massive axes that is the same size as a Titan

**Acardia**

Broadsides. When it must be destroyed from across the entire table.

feth you gamza, you made me lose my coke all over my keyboard

I would say Ork shooting and the whole thing surrounding the importance of MOAR DAKKA. You have a race that generally cant hit a moving target at ten meters, so they add a ridiculous number of barrels to unleash a hot mess of bullet h*** on anyone too stupid to be standing on the receiving end, even behind cover, or in a tank. and given the fluff's recognition for how loud Shootas, dakkaguns, deffguns, etc are, add a 'uge mob screaming at the top of its lungs, fully pumped with WAAAGH energy and you have enough noise to make noise marines cringe

AN' DERE AIN'T NO SUCH FING AS ENUFF DAKKA, YA GROT! Enuff'z more than ya got an' less than too much an' there ain't no such fing as too much dakka. Say dere is, and me Squiggoff'z eatin' tonight!

And im not sure where i read this, but IIRC mekboys will never stop churning out weapons until they create a weapon capable of throwing out the fabled amount of "Enuff Dakka", a weapon that is capable of putting a bullet at ever point in the known universe with every pull of the trigger. if thats not unsubtley i dont know what is

**Ascalam**

Orks = Unsubtle but hilarious.

Teleporting snotlings into your internal organs since RT...

**Razgryz**

Boltguns. Nothing like a machine gun firing armor-piercing, rocket-propelled grenades.

Dark Eldar. Can you tell we're evil yet?

Nova cannons. When the BARREL of the cannon is 300 feet wide, and three miles long, you know your serious about something.

Vortex Missiles. We live in terror of the warp. So why not make a weapon that drops our enemies into it?

Chainsword. Why not? Regular swords only cut you.

Powerfist. Turning dirty jokes into something you dont laugh about.

Chainfist. Why have a chainsaw on a sword when you can have one wrapped around each fist?

Lightning claws. Who needs guns?

Baneblade. Bigger is better. And treads the size of houses are plenty big.

Titans. Treads the size of houses are nothing compared to legs the size of skyscrapers. Whine louder, we cant hear you up here.

The Emperor. So fething far beyond unsubtle, he manipulated the Warp to steer a Space Marine drifting through space into the Eye of Terror, have him get recruited into a massing army of Daemons preparing to assault the real universe, and turn them against each other with five words on the eve of invasion. He made a hundred thousand Space Marines kneel with a word, against their will. He erased Horus' SOUL from existence. And in the end, he won, humanity does rule the galaxy, even if they do have to fight to keep it.

**Dark Apostle 666**

Teh Emperor.

Alpha Legion, I mean, they are stealthy Marines.......enough said.
