BB Shells on a Medusa.

Short of anything Super-Heavy or Apoc, it's the single best anti-anything gun in the game. Tanks, Termies, Fortifications... it all crumbles under a single Bada** B***h Shell.

To change up the thread a little, what's your favourite weapon, not necessarily the most powerful?

THE TEETH OF TERRA
A giant F-U relic chainsword which gives you extra attacks and other sweet bonuses. I love this thing on my bike captain, I just drive him solo into tactical squads and cackle while carves up fist-fulls of enemy models.

Scorpion's Claw: it's like a power fist with none of the drawbacks, plus a gun which shoots ninja stars.

Lasgun /thread

Hellgun

Bastion breacher shells are pretty awesome, too

Grav-Cannon w/ Grav Amp, coupled with MW libby, MURDER!!!

And to whoever said Grav weapons came out of nowhere, they're RT old IIRC.

For apoc I have to go with the gauss annihilator. Simple, effective, and can tackle any target with ease

For normal weapons I have to go with the tesla destructor, the potential amount of shots it can produce is just a stupid amount and is extremely reliable due to being twin linked. Also it can be brought en masse on cheap and durable BS4 platforms that also have more to them than just the one big gun (either another little gun or another unit)

D-Scythes.

That is all.

Are we playing this game then?

I raise you plasma guns and fusion blasters in a farsight bomb.

better range, better strength, can instant death most enemies, save for T5+.

If its really the "well mine is bigger game" then I wager the emperor titan cannon thats a 4 shot 7" blast of D, ignore all damage mitigation of any kind, and will sure as hell kill its intended target (bar other titans)

Str 9 AP 2 Large Blast at 72" with Ignores Cover. Belongs to Tau ofc.

But my favorite has to be the Decimators Heavy Conversion Beamer. str 10 ap 1 up to 72" and very flexible. Hilarious when you Grimoire it and troll the battlefield with walking Bunring Fists of death. Punching transports and buildings while scortching the poor buggers inside.

The beard is fake, by the way. So is the Connery accent. Please don't call me a man.

You have to roll to hit and I can get sweet cover save against it.

In a Farsight bomb? He'll be twin-linked and will ignore your cover save too.

I really like the tyranid gun S8 assault 2 that ignores cover and does not need land if sight. If other units could take that gun this would be very good.

In comparison, the LR Demolisher just feels... Impure.

No hankering for a LR Aries, then?

Serpent Shield comes to mind. That range and ignore cover? Str 7 comes in handy in a lot of situations as well. And you're going to take scatter lasers meaning you most likely have a twin-linked serpent shield anyways.

And did I mention if you ever decide not to fire it, it will save your wave serpent from a bright and expensive explosion?

Oh, I'm sorry. I tough we were discussing about best weapons, instead of units using them.
I must have read the thread title wrong.

Read the post right, whoever mentionned fusion blaster said ''In a Farsight bomb''

That being said, the fusion blaster is a pretty good weapon. It's an imperial fusion gun with an extra 6" range.

Might as well go with the multi-melta at that point top the Fusion Blaster by another 6''

Or even the Melta cannon, which is a blast on top of everything else.

Fusion cannon then: 24" S8 AP1 Heavy1, blast, melta. And a hammerhead can mount two (two, not TL) of those on it's turret.

Speaking of FW 40k legal tau stuff, I love the XV9 weapons,
Phased ion gun: 18" S4 AP4 Assault4, rending
Fusion cascade: 12" S6 AP1 Assault d3, melta
Pulse submintions rifle: 24" S5 AP6 Assault1, Large blast, Ignores cover

Fusion cannon is a Melta cannon, silly Xeno.

Granted, can't have two of e'm on a vehicle, but you can squadron said vehicle.

My favorite regular sized weapon system is the Leman Russ Executuioner Plasma Cannon. Nothing like a 3 shot Plasma Cannon without the Gets Hot! rule. Its good for everything but AV 14 and Flyers.

Shokk attack gun.
It either makes you laugh your ass off or tears your opponent a new one

LOVE this weapon.


Surprised no one has mentioned the Deathstrike Missile. Unlimited range (maybe?), possible 10" blast, no saves, ignores EW. REMOVE YOUR gak FROM PLAY.

It's a crap delivery system, but if it was any better it'd be stupid broken.

For melee? Force sword. I absolutely love it to bits. Incredibly hilarious when one unsaved wound can bring down even commissionaire Yarrik...

For a brief time, anyway, until he tells himself to stop being such a pussy and gets back up to tear your arms off, attach one to himself and kill you with his laser eyes.

+1. Very likely to remove a non-horde) squad a turn. It does look an awful lot like a chode though lol

Or it would, if Yarrick didn't have the "Manlier Than Other Men Because He Uses Old Spice" rule, occasionally known as "Eternal Warrior".

Admit it, my name's better
