Since Best .... topics are popping up like mushrooms again, I'll hop on the train too!
What is the most powerful melee weapon we have seen any fluff etc?
To get the stupid arguments about the wielder out of the way, let's act on the basis that all weapons are being used by the best possible master of said weapon.
My vote go's to the Soul Drinker's Soulspear.

The Lion Sword.
When it kills something, it also destroys their warp presence. That means daemons are completely dead and there's no chance of chaos resurrections either for mortal men either.

"'players must agree how they are going to select their armies, and if any restrictions apply to the number and type of models they can use."
This is an actual rule in the actual rulebook. Quit whining about how you can imagine someone's army touching you in a bad place and play by the actual rules.

Seriously? Where's that fluff from, because then yeah, I'd say the Lion Sword is pretty awesome. Useless against Necrons, and pointless against Tyranids though.

Matt Ward declared death pit on the Eldar god Khaine. To celebrate his victory he held the most awesome party ever and all the Eldar were invited. The intense pleasure from the orgy with him spawned Slannesh, created the Eye of Terror and destroyed the Eldar empire. Their last words were, "worth it."
So spread the word, and beware of Matt Ward for he can Death Pit at any time.

I'm glad you asked, as I was about to!
Anyway, until then - Force Axe.

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.
