*Read OP* we not in warhammer.

Not the bow because it lacks in power. You want something with a decent kick behind it for your weapon. If we go ranged weapons we should get something like the javelin launcher from LFR.

Don't you like to chop off  void walker limbs using copper broad heads?

[Remuthra]

Yes I do, although I have always been partial to ballista chokepoints. Also I'm trying to garner support to get a warhammer, not saying this is warhammer. I don't even play any warhammer. I don't know the story.

Lets take the bow.

It's all relative, but longbows beat armored knights. (Not always, but the arrows penetrated the armor, which should indicate stopping power behind the arrows.) They're not weak.

It depends on what you are talking about. Bows are precise and can take armored knights by exploiting weaknesses, but they still lack in actual force.

Which mean because everyone else in warhammer is a jackass, the Tyranid are the setting good guys.

A ha ha no.

I'm talking about full-scale battles here. If the knights couldn't reach the archers in time, the archers would fill the sky with arrows. It killed the men, it killed the horses.
That's not aiming, that's power.
For a random example (the first specific one found with Google-Fu), take the Battle of Shrewsbury. "Thomas Walsingham recorded how the King's men "fell like leaves in Autumn, every one [arrow] struck a mortal man"." So, each arrow killed or mortally wounded. Really weak, neh?

Anyways, swords don't do well against armor either, so your argument is invalid.

Massed archers are indeed great, one of my favorite strategies. However, there's only one of us.

To bad we can't just pick NUMBERS as our weapon. I hear that's pretty good at winning wars.

Create a math based war system.

As it so happens, a hundred longbows don't magically penetrate armor better than one longbow.
