Favorite Weapon

[Prometheus]

The question is simple what is yopur favorite weapon in 40k? At Range and in Close Combat.

For me its...

Range: Flamer- its doesn't need to roll to hit and usually covers alot of enemies. It also ignores cover saves which are everywhere in 5th.

Close Combat: Thunderhammer- its a powerfist that if...IF your opponents survives the hit he strikes last in close combat as he is stunned.

Close combat: agonisers, without question. There isn't much 'soft' stuff at my FLGS, so it is very welcome. (It's getting to the point where a standard marine is considered a nice easy target and I think all my warriors need to be equipped with can openers. I need to play against some hoard nids or non-mech guard...)

Ranged: blasters. I'm not too fond of dark lances lately. Yes, they are very good weapons... but my gunners are pathetic, they couldn't hit the voidshield on a titan the way they've been aiming...

Meltgun for all the obvious reasons - it's an assault weapon, it's AP1, doesn't overheat or scatter and it makes a mess of vehicles. For close combat the power fist, a nice trade off of points cost and effectiveness although I only use it for squad leaders

[Red__Thirst]

Ranged: The good old Combiflamer. If I need to tag something at range I can fling a bolt or twelve at it. If it gets close, light up the BBQ baby, dinner's on!

Melee: I've gotta say, this one is tough, but honestly I'd want a power sword (resembling the one the terminator sergeant has in the new Space Hulk box). It's not the end-all be-all of close combat weapons, but it's damn effective versus anything I'd want to fight.

Those are my choices.

Ranged: Lasguns, in the hands of infantry, ordered to fire in ranks. Not even the most effective but I love the image.

Close Combat: Witchblade. Wounding on a 2+? S9 against AV? Yikes!

[Skragger]

Hmmmm.. so many choices, so many choices...

Ranged: Loota Gunz.. not only are the a major annoyance to light vehicles, they just look damn cool and are the gun that a conversion really should be manditory on

Melee: Old SKool chainaxes and Choppas... nothing says "dont play terminators" like 6 points of modifies armour save!

Hmm... I have to go with Grey Knight kit. Storm Bolter (or the TL bolter on a bike ^^) and Relic Blades/ Nemesis Force Weapons. Have a high enough strength to get the damage done, look good, and can usually put out enough accurate fire power to seal thee deal

[krispy]

i really like:
ranged - the bolters my sternguard veterans have - rapid fire and 4 different ammo types makes me happy

close combat - lighting claw(s) just cos they are cool and who wouldnt want to have one!

in the past (rogue trader times) i really liked the eldars "Harlequins Kiss" as it had the most badass rules but it seems to not be as popular / useful anymore.

[TSINI]

for ranged: it has to be the executioner plasma cannon - triple blast plasma, it just melts, melts and melts some more!!

assault, i'm all for the power sword, as a guardsman i need to cling onto every point of my innitiative value, they might not be alive by the time a powerfist gets to strike!

eviscerators- the name just says it all
