Halberds are nice but seem a little steep for the cost per model for only 1 attack each.
Falchions i like but are pricey.
It almost seems like the standard swords might be best. They wont give and upgrades but still a force weapon none the less.

So any advice?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/435931/4020293.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/435931/4020293.page GMT Nemesis force weapons....hmmm which ones to choose? lol swords just seem to be a good all around choice IMHO]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/435931/4020300.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/435931/4020300.page GMT Nemesis force weapons....hmmm which ones to choose?
maybe you wanted 40K General Discussion, not YMDC?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/435931/4020330.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/435931/4020330.page GMT Nemesis force weapons....hmmm which ones to choose? GK, I would prefer you take anything but halbreds (unless your plan is to shoot and scoot with your strike squad).

Plus, if you play with more easily intimidated players (and almost everybody does), once a purifier squad with halbreds shreds a tacitcal sqaud or the like, those halbreds will seem a lot scarier than they are.

If I was giving a good friend advice, I'd tell him to at least buy 2 or 3 halbreds per strike squad... I don't think MathHammer will justify the expense, but HeadHammer will (especially if you face several PA opponents in your local gaming scene).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/435931/4020492.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/435931/4020492.page GMT Nemesis force weapons....hmmm which ones to choose? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/435931/4020547.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/435931/4020547.page GMT Nemesis force weapons....hmmm which ones to choose?

Doesn't that depend on the opponent though? Watching Blood Angel Assault Marines bite the big one against halberds could definitely give that Blood Angels that impression. Yet a mechvet guard player will say,"After blowing up my transports you killed my guard in close combat? Grats, a stiff breeze and a harsh look does too!" and a Tau player will kindly point out that stiff breezes and harsh words are overpowered in close combat. So turning Tau or Guard troops into bloody ribbons won't really have the same impact as you would on the Blood Angels player. For that matter, a grizzled veteran of many a fight with Grey Knights won't either, and I feel that playing to defeat your best opponent is better then playing to more soundly ravage an average one.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/435931/4020715.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/435931/4020715.page GMT Nemesis force weapons....hmmm which ones to choose?
For Purifiers: Maybe halberds, maybe 1 hammer, and always Psycannons. Halberds are cheap, but against a lot of things they are not needed, and in a squad of 5 guys with 2 psycannons, 2 halberds isn't going to help too much, even vs things like blood angels. I'd only take them if you have extra points, or are making a bigger than 5 man, CC-Oriented Purifier squad (which i am not really a fan of).

For terminators / paladins: I like a mix of 2 halberds, 2 swords, and 1 hammer per 5 guys. And of course psycannons, probably on the hammer guys.

I am never much of a fan of the falchions on any unit, though if you wanted a few in a terminator squad i think that would be fine. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/435931/4020873.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/435931/4020873.page GMT Nemesis force weapons....hmmm which ones to choose? halberd+SB
halberd+PC
sword+SB
sword+PC
hammer
315 pts, 2 guys have 4++ in close combat, and you can do the wounds allocation.

If you have enough points, you can change that "sword+PC" to "banner+PC", that helps
