On reflection, most of the villains in my campaign use their bare hands (or equivalent) because nothing else comes close. Take the Guen fight...
On the other hand, the goblin shaman carried a flaming morningstar. It's quite a jolly weapon - it looks like a bent little axe most of the time, but when you tell it to 'burn', three metal blade/spikes click out of it and the head spits out a tongue of flame, essentially turning it into the Starfish of Fiery Doom. The PCs took it and it's currently causing a little bit of strife in the chronicle (linked below).
All the goblins carry neat weapons, albeit nonmagical. Their morningstars are normally just metal poles with an elongated bulb at the end, but when they 'activate' them four spikes hinge out of the bulb. Their javelins are compressed too - they're normally a handspan in length, but when triggered open up in sections and lock into a metal javelin.
Needless to say, these goblins have a lot of backing.
Other villains have used scimitars, magical punch daggers, undead-controlling bone knives, big swords, telepathic greataxes, and something called the Cinema which is still a secret - it makes Wolverine look inflexible, if that makes any sense. I'll soon launch an adventure involving Genghis Khan, hundreds of thousands of orcs, pikes, spiked chains, and four heroes. Should be fun.

. Most of them don't expose themselves to actual fighting. That's what minions are for. And ussually, they go out of their way to keep themselves valuable enough so they can't really be attacked outright.
