Vortex rocket? Plasma Annihalator? Hellstorm Cannon? Must be one of them.
Edit: I think the quake cannon is supposed to be the heaviest ever artillery piece

**dementedwombat**

Depends on how you define "strongest"

Vortex missile is pretty scary, but all the stuff you mentioned is small potatoes compared to spaceship weapons. Cyclonic torpedo maybe. Or nova cannon, that's a big one.

In terms of single weapon systems: Land based, its the Ordinatuses ( Ordinatii?) With their varied superweapon payloads. Space based its the Nova Cannon for anti-ship targets or Exterminatus weapons for ground targets.

Nothing stronger in the IOM.

**madtankbloke**

In terms of weapon system i would have to go with the plasma annihilator as mounted on an Imperator Titan, like, OMG that is OMGWTF powerful.

In terms of what is the most powerful weapon overall, its the size of the imperium, their material strength, the production capacity to replace losses (even if the imperium as a whole is woefully inneficient)

**Melissia**

Nova Cannon.

It makes titan class weapons cry and cut their wrists because of their inadequacy.

so yeah, faith.

**Ascalam**

Problem is, the other side has it too.

Orks for example...

**CthuluIsSpy**

I believe necrons would strongly disagree with that assessment. They are a race of robot atheists who had once ruled the galaxy. They didn't need faith.

That or detonating warp drives, that plot device can solve everything! It's basically a massive vortex grenade...in SPEHSS!

Who says? They had plenty of faith in their technology when they used it to betray the C'tan.

>> That's my biggest gripe with the newcron fluff (and the only real outright retcon if you really think about it). The Necrons went from being poor abused slaves to being double-crossing jerkwads.

Anyway, as far as the most powerful weapon is concerned (I don't count Faith as a weapon, it's more of an inherent ability), I'd have to say it's probably the Chrono-cannon on the Speranza. It has a blast radius equal to or larger than that of the Nova Cannon, and works by shifting electrons in the target area backwards a millisecond so that they become tachyons and cause mutual annihilation events with their past selves.

The money in your wallet is the strongest weapon/ force in the Imperium!

**TyRaide**

Exterminatus.
