What do you guys think the most powerful, destructive weapon in the 40k universe?

**djphranq**

Lord Nurgle's farts after eating lots of hummus... LOTS OF HUMMUS!

**RivenSkull**

I would say the Necron Celestial Orrery, but that's part of the Ward flubb and we refuse to acknowledge that.

Edited: yeah, Blackstone Fortress

**matapata98**

Blackstone Fortress

**riverhawks32**

The warp.
After that Abaddon's Black Stone Fortress and Planet Killer

**Testify**

Faith.

I never fart after hummus, Nurgle must have serious bowel issues.

Tyranids may be the most powerful weapon. All Tyranid organisms are bio-engineered weapons that function as a part of the whole swarm which is itself only part of the Hive fleet etc. Nobody knows their origins but one possibility is they were originally designed as a weapon that then ate their designers.

If they were made as a weapon then that would probably make them the worst, though they have a serious desin flaw and that is they've backfired on their creators, eating them all etc.

Acid. No model can stand against the might of acid. Resin, plastic or metal, they all fall before the wrath of acid.

My Space Marines have the Preferred Enemy (Bieber) rule. Descent of Angels a Furioso Dreadnought with Blood Talons into a swarm of Genestealers aka fan girls.

The most powerful weapon in the 40k universe is...

QFT and have a +1

**Brother Captain Alexander**

Celestial Orrery, no contest ( damn you Ward ).

Other than that: faith. Imperium have endured on it alone for 10.000 years.

**Trondheim**

Hate and fear for the unkown mixed with the insane amount of zeal found in 40k

**cox.dan2**

Rolling a

when you need it.

**tonyneedspills23**

id say the eldar have very powerful gods

the emperor

some side nots would be necrons gaus for being such a effective weapon. nano bots eat away anything it hits mutiplied by about a million and whatever it hits alone

**Hlaine Larkin mk2**

Planet Killer, unless you count connected Blackstone fortresses as a single weapon then they win

I am still convinced that Vect simply bought a particularly strong vacuum cleaner.

**amudkipz**

Handheld? Conversion beamer, that gaks crazy.

**Harriticus**

Celestial Orrery. O ward you rascal.

**Soo'Vah'Cha**

This...

Because nothing happens without them...the true power of 40k.

**Xeriapt**

Khornes sword sounds pretty epic.

Perhaps. But it must've been a darn strong vacuum cleaner if it tricked Phil Kelly into thinking it was a gravitational singularity.

If you're willing to accept certain theories, the tyranids.

Doesn't seem very effective, even if they're a weapon.

They couldn't even take down Macragge.

Just pop a Vect-ian insta-Black Hole in a nearby solar system (doesn't have to be the same one actually) and the entire Macragge system would be history before you could say "swoooosh".

Makes Hive Fleets look like children toys.

**Engine of War**

the Dollar. or whatever your countrys currency. there is no 40k without money.

**ENOZONE**

Void Dragon. If it's a machine, he can control it.

I believe he meant the FULL Tyranid fleet. The tendril that hit Macragge, while powerful, was not even a 1/10000000000 of what some people estimate the number's of Nids there are. If the full fleet hits us, the Galaxy is pretty screwed unless ALL of the races of the galaxy band together to fight them.

But I have to agree the combined might of the Blackstone Fortress

**BlaxicanX**

If all the Tyranid fleets entered the galaxy simultaneously, it would start eating itself due to the massive demand for biomass.

Most powerful weapon that isn't a space station/planet/giant ship is probably the black hole in a box or the tachyon arrow, imo.
