So out of the vast array of 40K wargear, what item do you always take into battle? What is your favorite piece of wargear? What is your favorite melee weapon? What is your favorite shooting weapon?

For myself, I've fallen in love with the Wolf Standard from C:SW. It IMO is probably in the top three most powerful pieces of wargear in the entire game. Melee weapon, its the powerclaw/powerfist. Double strength, no armor save. As for shooting weapon, I'm going with the Hammerhead Railgun. 72" S10 AP1, or S6 AP4 pie plate. Its just a lot of hurt.

I never leave without my missile launchers or my boltguns. They pull through for me.

Favorite Melee wargear is the LC. About as effective as a PF in CC against MEQ but is faster.

And the blood chalice is the best piece of wargear for me.

**bigyounk**

Melee - Powerfist for MEQ, ubiquitous lasgun for the guard

Ranged - Meltaguns ftw!

Wargear - Psychic Hood for Inq Lord, Moondrakan for the Khan

**Jaon**

I CANT leave home without at least 14 lasguns...so uhh..lasguns

Guardsmen Marbo, Cant leave home without him. Any guard player that does is insane.

Oh and my leman russ

**Anpu42**

MEQs: Plasma Weapons

**Shadowbrand**

I never leave home without my Rhinos. Never.

**oadie**

Powerklaw. Boss pole. If these aren't on the nobs leading the boys into battle, you're doing it wrong. Generally, if the boys aren't in battle, you're doing it wrong.

How could I forget my favorite metal bawse of all time?!

**Iur_tae_mont**

Melee: Kroot Rifle (it's a CCW

)

Ranged: Railgun

Wargear: Markerlight ( Since it's a shooting weapon that doesn't wound, I count it as Wargear. Like the Searchlights.)

**DiscoVader**

Mine has to be my SAG mek. Is it reliable? Nope. Does it miss the target half the time? You bet. Has it wiped out my own units more than the enemy? Yup. But it's just too much darn fun for me to leave out of the fight.

**del'Vhar**

Captain on Bike...He makes the rest of my army legal

**Polonius**

My favorite single piece of kit is the 5pt melta bomb I bought my Platoon Commander. His squad has four flamers and rides in a chimera, but he's knocked out enough stuff with that little bomb to make it a pet favorite.

I play mech guard, so my real favorites are melta guns, of course.

**Little lord Fauntleroy**

MELTA BOMBS! MELTA BOMBS FOR EVERYONE!

I'm also partial to flamer or flamer equivilant weaponry.

**timetowaste85**

My suicide squad of sternguard veterans with combi-meltas in a drop pod. Hey, somebody has to blow up my opponent's Land Raider and make him foot-slog all of his close combat termies

So...I guess that means I love combi-meltas, if we're talking about pieces of gear

**ssREV**

Disruption Pod. One of the most price efficient upgrades.

For weapons, I would have to say:

Railguns

**vodo40k**

CC: Lightning Claws

Ranged: Pulse Rifle

Wargear: Iron Halo

**Dark**

[lol]Stasis grenade wired to my heart[/lol]

More "seriously", I'd never leave home without my Wolf Standart, Power Fist and Combi-Melta.

**Gwar!**

For me, it's 15 Lang Fangs with Missile launchers.

**Gorechild**

Fortune/Doom + Spirit Stones

**idget**

Blood Chalice, Railgun and Markerlight for me really.

**SaintHazard**

I NEVER leave home without a twin-linked flamer and a multi-tracker!

Oh, and I have to have my hardwired Blacksun filter, and a drone controller with two marker drones!

Actually, it's
Melee: Tank shock
Ranged: Railgun
Wargear: Disruption pod
Take a wild guess at what my favorite unit is!

**Sanctjud**

Item: Power Fist.
Wargear: I generally take Daemon Princes…so wings… else, I do take a StormShield on my biker Captain, but only because I modeled it that way, not really my favorite.
Melee: Bear Hugs… from a Plague Marine.
Shooting: Blight Grenades (fluffwise), throwing the heads of your enemies at your enemies…come on!

**kronk**

Never Leave Home without: The Emperor's Champion. He's kind of manditory to my army, and fun as hell.

Wargear: Extra Armor on transports. If you can't move a transport, how are you going to contest objectives or kill stuff? ALWAYS put EA on transports.

Favorite Melee Weapon: The Emperor's Champion's Black Sword. S6 weapon that kills a lot of crap!

Favorite Shooty Weapon: Plasma Cannons. All Plasma, All the time!

**Kolath**

Never leave home without: at least one Landspeeder Typhoon and my trusty librarian

Wargear: Powerfists!

**eNvY**

Meltaguns. Lots of em.

**blood reaper**

Wargear : power weapons .
Item : Terminator armour .
psychic powers : Turning the nightbring to spawn , or just wanting to anoy that idot kid by turning marnus calger in to spawn.

**Storm Lord**

Wargear: Ressurection orb. Forget that and I'm doomed to fail
Ranged Weapon: Bolter with those special bolts thousand sons get
Close Combat weapon: Daemon Weapons

Obviously they aren't all in the same force... although daemon Weapon weilding necrons sound fun

**Cadet_Commissar_Ludd**

Weapon: Battle Cannon
Unit: fire warriors (What's this? a large gaunt squad? hehem.)
Wargear: Markerlights

**Ailaros**

In 5th ed, I so far haven't left home without at least a dozen (or two) weapons that contain the word "melta" in their name.

But the real workhorse of my army is the priest. Ever since I first included one in my list a little over 3 years ago, I have only once come to the field without at least one eviscerator priest (and that was in a 500 point game). Rerolls to hit and death incarnate against vehicles that can hide in a squad is too much to pass up.

**Erratic_Assassin**

Let's see, the American Express of the DW.... Belial?
Seriously, the one must have for any squad I put on the table is at least one chainfist. Practically a meltagun on a stick... errr glove, it bumps average penetration from 11-12 to 15, and with three attacks on the charge it makes short work of any vehicle*.
