For the purposes of this thread, I have the following bits:
- Chainsword
- Power Sword
- Lightning Claw
- Power Fist

Reading online, I know that the Power Axe is generally considered the best take-all-comers weapon, but, alas, I have no Power Axe bits.

Thanks!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732553/9488890.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732553/9488890.page GMT Best Melee Weapon for Chaos Lords IMO Power fist - With their 2+ to hit and rerolling 1's it helps mitigate that -1 to hit. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732553/9488907.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732553/9488907.page GMT Best Melee Weapon for Chaos Lords
But out of those other options, a Lord is one of the few reliable fisters right now. I wouldn't consider them worthy on Champions except some berserkers or plague Marines. If he is just an aura guy anyway a sword can be easy, and I'm hoping we get some new Sword relic soon anyway. Does the Terminator Lord kit have a sword? We have to look at the kit options for any hints as to what we might see ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732553/9488917.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732553/9488917.page GMT Best Melee Weapon for Chaos Lords http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732553/9489026.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732553/9489026.page GMT Re:Best Melee Weapon for Chaos Lords KDK with Axe of Khorne and Power Fist he was amazeballs).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732553/9489294.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732553/9489294.page GMT Best Melee Weapon for Chaos Lords
To confirm, does that mean the Chaos Lord gets to, essentially, re-roll all misses when rolling to hit with the fist? Since it's -1 to all rolls to hit, but you can't get lower than a 1 on a D6, all 1's remain 1's and all 2's become 1's meaning ... re-roll all misses?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732553/9489399.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732553/9489399.page GMT Best Melee Weapon for Chaos Lords AP. Even cheaper would be 2 chainswords for 6 attacks, but with no AP that's probably only worth it if you want to hack your way through an imperial guard regiment.
If you want to go hunting the big things, go for fist and Combimelta.

The best way honestly would be to use some magnets .

You re-roll before modifiers are applied. This means: If you roll a 1, you re-roll, if you roll a 2, you don't re-roll, but the modifier puts you to a 1 afterwards, so you miss. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732553/9489401.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732553/9489401.page GMT Best Melee Weapon for Chaos Lords http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732553/9489441.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732553/9489441.page GMT Best Melee Weapon for Chaos Lords
