Simple question, what is that gun in the game you just feel you have to have in your list and why? It could be because you like the way it looks or because of the destruction it causes, or maybe it is just your lucky gun and you just always roll in your favor with it.

Me? I love plasma. Plasma cannons, plasma guns. High risk high reward guns! Love the carnage they can cause to just about everything, including my own guys.

When you've shot everything at a unit and they're down to one guy, you remember you still have that single laspistol shot to take and you believe that just this once it'll come off...

Krieg! What a hole...

Hellgun, both for the name and for the fact that a puny human weapon makes a mockery of the oh so advanced power armor the SM use.

GRAV GUNS!!!, Got over 10 in my list on bikes plus 3 grav cannon centurions with tiggy! Love them against all targets I've even immobilized dreadnought on over watch fire was hilarious and last game I got the sky fire mysterious objective inside my aegis so I parked my command squad with 4 grav guns with sky fire and an apothecary for that FNP was perfect seeing as my opponent was fielding 9 fmc in his skyblight tyranid force was a great game won 9-4 was taking down at least one fmc per turn

Deff my fave gun just sucked trying to 10 grav guns

Markerlight. It betters other weapons! And you cannot take any kind of save against it!

Vulcan mega-bolter. It inspires awe and it delivers.
Thunderhammer. It's the name of the game, but on steroids!
Ion Accelerator. It's good against anything.
Smart Missile System. Nice range and punch, and you cannot hide from it!

A close competition between the multi-melta/fusion gun/inferno pistol & the Exorcist Missile Launcher. It's really hard to pass up a pipe-organ rocket gun with flur'de'lis all over it.

Plasma because of the inherent danger and to me it feels very 40K.

They are common in the fluff and kick ass.
