Can be any special upgrade weapon a unit can take that, you feel, outweighs its cost in power.

After last nights game and a lot of my recent games I would say the humble Flamer is a strong contender. The fact it does almost guarunteed damage in overwatch is a major bonus, ignores cover and is dirt cheap; enabling you to field them en masse and almost always recoup the points cost you paid for them makes it very powerful.

So what's the best special weapon upgrade in the game and why?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/528439/5642830.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/528439/5642830.page GMT Best point for point special weapon in the game? thoughts? S7 AP2 Armourbane, not unwieldy. And only 10pts. Never leave the tomb without it.

Never really had much success with flamers (Until last Saturday when I wiped a FW squad off the face of the earth in one round with a dual-HF Dread )]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/528439/5642848.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/528439/5642848.page GMT Re:Best point for point special weapon in the game? thoughts? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/528439/5642867.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/528439/5642867.page GMT Best point for point special weapon in the game? thoughts? or

Hmm They are aces.

15pts and I get to use my opponent's x pts special weapon on him, that's a "special" weapon of its own!

Hmm... Don't wanna comment on other codices, so I still won't be exactly on topic, as this will be more "best point for point special weapon in the codices I played", sorry, but:

Another vote for warscythe, much as I love my DE, warscythe is just so cheap and efficient as an AP2 CCW, could even be 0pts on some HQs!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/528439/5643691.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/528439/5643691.page GMT Best point for point special weapon in the game? thoughts? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/528439/5643724.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/528439/5643724.page GMT Best point for point special weapon in the game? thoughts? GK Terminator squad. 20 points, shoots 4 times at full BS when moving (excluding snap shots), and it can literally kill anything in the game.

The Psycannon on a strike squad/purifiers is no weak sauce either. For 10 points, you too can have your very own 24" bad touch zone. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/528439/5643992.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/528439/5643992.page GMT Best point for point special weapon in the game? thoughts?

I think the new Tau Neuroweb thingy is a decent contender. 3 points (or is it 2?) an you can apply gets hot to whole squads. Likely to cause problems to all sorts of Guard, Ork, Tyranid and Eldar units.
