I don't care if it's a repeat of my earlier statement!

BLOOD TALONS FTW!!!

Railrifle owns them both.

Heavy Weapon Team with exitus rifles? What?

**Bobthehero**

YES!

2 exitus x 3 squads of 2 soldiers. Devastating volleys and you can switch their ammo as well.

**im2randomghgh**

There is only one solution to this debate-Assault 15 Str D Ap 1 10" blast railguns! For every model in the army! And Crisis suits get three and can fire them all with no scatter!

**Bobthehero**

Edit: Misread what you typed.

Wow, you've just invented the stat line for my made up weapon, cheers im2randomghgh. Now to build a model totting this weapon! Muhahahaha... .

**Abyssel**

Thunder Hammer. Second would be The Man Reaper.

**Banzaimash**

Two bolt pistols, or failing that, a CHAINSWORD!

LRBT? If you class that as a weapon then I say nightwing interceptor, sexy, sexy thing. I mean, look at it.

http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Warhammer-40000/ELDAR-NIGHTWING.html

I mean that is what batman would fly if he were Eldar.

Ok in all seriousness that is not a 'weapon'. So to be a tiny bit more on topic, a SAG. I mean sending insane green people through reality in an explosion of warp energy is just cool. Or the Neuro Gauntlet, now that looks awesome. I wish I could have a deactivated one of them as it would make a brilliant fashion accessory.

You know, I post what I want. And yes I class LBT as a weappon.

I'd like to see you pick one up and hit something over the head with a LRBT or use one as a ranged weapon. If you can then forgive me, I take back my statement and I'm going to hide in a corner going, "I didn't say anything, please don't hurt me."

I suppose I'm not complaining, It means I get to choose the Nightwing as my favourite weapon, hot stuff.

Remember though, models "killed" in the tabletop game are just unable to continue fighting. The tabletop rules don't suggest anything more. Unable to continue fighting can mean lots of things, not all of which are "dead". Also remember, TT rules exist to make a balanced, playable game. Not to tell realistic stories of the 40K universe.

**Ovion**

I also said putting down, not killing.

Dark Eldar like them incapacitated so they can take them back to Commoragh and do terrible things to them.

**smudgethekat**

Thunder Hammers or Storm Bolters.

Space Marine made me love chainswords though. Also the reason I love Storm Bolters so much. You just gotta love the BRRRRRRRRRRR sound it makes.

**The Son Of Russ**

The Heavy Bolter. I love it.

Maybe they are just really cold??

**samtheking**

Wrist mounted storm bolter& a chain axe.
a man can dream cant he.

**Draigo**

So much comparing whos is bigger lol the thread is your personal favorite lol I for one like the the nemisis halbred, exitus rifle and good ol power fist.

**Lancel**

For me it has to be the Heavy Bolter. The thought of bracing oneself, pulling the trigger and unloading all that Dakka into the battlefield makes me shiver...

Really though, in hindsight; is there anyway to talk about weapons (especially heavy ones) without tripping over innuendos?!

**Ulthanashville**

The Spear of Twilight - power at a price. It fits the grimdark theme so well.

**King Crow**

Bolter and pulse rifle

**RAVEN 97**

Blood talons look amazing and have amazing rules

**im2randomghgh**

But you have to put them on dreads, who are IMHO the ugliest models in all of wh40k x10

Except for the contemptors. they are beautiful. And can be given blood talons

I'm not sure what you're getting at here.... but if i were to guess..... thunderhammer?

**im2randomghgh**

More a fan of the videogame than the table top, I suppose?

**Golden Sabre**

Chainsword (the ones used by Striking Scorpions).
'Nuff said.

My favorite weapon in 40K.

Mine also! Not only have you (probably) been needlessly Instant Death'd, you're initiative 1 in whatever afterlife you believe in!

EDIT: Or, if we're including things that aren't in the game yet... Hurricane-pattern plasma guns on a Land Raider.... muahahaha...

**forruner_mercy**

I probably already posted here, and I bet I put TH.

If I did post, I want to change, as I can not decide on my favorite overall weapon:

Ranged (Infantry) - DKoK style heavy bolter

Melee (Infantry) - Huskblade. Making your enemy turn into a dried corpse/turn to dust is pretty awesome

Ranged (Vehicle) - DKoK style artillery

Ranged (Flyer) - Implosion missile. Nothing says awesome like making your enemies implode

Melee (MC/Walker) - The Wailing Doom

**Bobthehero**

DKoK Hotshot/hellgun it is then, lovely little scope on that beauty.

**xXSir MontyXx**

BONE SABRE! Material harder than anything we can think of.

And it's brimming with psychic bad-assness!
