Best weapon to go with a thunderhammer?

[Dr_Ruminahui]

I'm planning on building a chaos lord with jump pack and a thunderhammer, as I don't have a lord with a thunderhmmer yet and I figure a lord with a jump pack is the best place to put one.

 

That brings up the question of what the best secondary weapon is for him?

[BrainFireBob]

I would say:

 

Relic gun if available

 

Combiplasma

Combimelta

Combibolter

Plasma pistol

Murder sword

[Marshal Loss]

Operating on the assumption that you actually want to use the thunder hammer, if you're looking for another melee weapon, definitely a lightning claw - it's only 5pts and you get an extra swing with that on top of your thunder hammer attacks. A chainsword would be the second best choice. Third place would just be a plain old bolt pistol for me to throw out point-blank Daemon Shells.

Im a big fan of the murder sword.  In certain match ups this weapon is extremely powerful.

Third place would just be a plain old bolt pistol for me to throw out point-blank Daemon Shells.

 

What do you know, I had absolutely forgot that this was even a strategem in our codex...

My Thunderhammer Lords sports a Combimelta as a sidegun. Allows for toasting some armour and shooting a Daemon Shell at 24".

Thanks everyone - you've given me some options I wasn't even considering before.

Combi plasma. An overcharge hadouken because I like to live dangerously.

I like plasma in any form. Combi plasma if on foot, plasma pistol if using wings/jump pack etc. Though I think slash winged lords are better for us generally at the moment!
