    Default Which is your favourite iconic melee weapon?

    [url=http://www.lounge.belloflostsouls.net/showthread.php?59782-Which-is-your-favourite-iconic-weapon-and-why]Because we've got the ranged one, so this just makes sense...[/url]

    I've tried to pick the Most Iconic (as in mostly unique to that species) Weapon, but some of them are harder than others (hey Tau!).

    The dark eldar agoniser. For so many years the automatic wargear of anyone that could take one, and even now with more options it's still a serious consideration. I have fond memories of my archon managing to drop a khorne daemon prince with one in close combat during my first tournament. (No, said archon didn't have a shadowfield, that burst on the first turn. I was just rolling really well and the other player rolling badly. It took 4 turns with the CSM player getting more and more confused and angry at his prince while I cackled evilly.)

    I voted powerfist. To me its slightly more iconic than the chainsword. Possibly since Papa Smurf wields 2 of them influencing the decision. And where is the eldar witchblade.

    Chainsword.

    Sure there are many others more potent, but it's such a visceral weapon. It's about as subtle as a brick through your window, and must make a horrific mess when used on some poor sod.

    It's a toss up between the Rough Rider Hunting Lance and the 'Uge Choppa but only because I can't work out which one sounds the rudest.

    Chainfist.

    Cuz sometimes just obliterating something with bludgeoning damage just isnt enough.

    Because 'Power Fist' is so very tame?

    Chainaxe

    because a chainsword looks to close to a regular chainsaw

    Kaptin Grotkrusha bellowed a challenge as he swung his 'Uge Choppa around his head...
