===Melee Weapons===
You can swap your default force weapon for something else or take the second one.
*'''Force Weapon''' - Pretty much all of your characters start with it. Sword is for dealing with MEQs, axe is for TEQS, and staff is good for everything else  and if you plan to beat faces with Battle Form (by which I mean you don't roll and hope for it, but have it secured in one way or another). You may take the second one of the different type for extra versatility, but only do it if you're gearing for close combat death machine, at which point you'd be better with a staff and Battle Form anyway.
*'''Hequa Staff''' - Basically a force halberd. It's free, so take it if you swap pistol for a combi-bolter - otherwise one extra attack is always better.
*'''Force Dagger''' - AP2 on initiative, but -1S and it makes you easier to hit in challenge. It's very situational, and most times axe or sword show themselves better. If you desperately need AP2 on initiative it's always better to secure Battle Form or Dark Blade.
*'''Force Rod''' - Force Sword that can conserve one warp charge per psy phase to use later. Generally you'd have spare charges only on turn one and maybe two, unless you took a few Malefic sorcs do vent them into summoning daemons. This is more useful in small points games though, where you can gather power for one epic psy-barrage that can win a game, and against armies that often hide large chunks of their armies behind BLoS, like Tau, Craftworlds or Corsairs.
*'''Daemon Weapon''' - This is for when you go all in on close combat. Extra attacks and strength are cool, and even more so with Battle Form (S9 AP2 daemon mace FTW), but you lose Force and Innumerations.
